5 Issue Miniseries that wraps Joe Martino’s cancer in a superhero shell. Who will protect The Mighty Titan’s alter ego from cancer?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From Joe Martino: “The Mighty Titan is my newest creation that essentially takes my cancer (and other) experiences and wraps them in a superhero shell. This isn’t autobiographical. I have researched and talked to other cancer survivors to try and get the feeling of what other people have experienced. The plan is to do a 5 issue mini-series with the possibility of it continuing. I created Titan in 2004 during my first bout with Kidney cancer. It was a tough decision to take some of my personal experiences and put them to paper in order to entertain and possibly allow people a glimpse of what some of us go through while battling this potentialy deadly disease.<\/p>\n

“Make no mistake, this is still a cool, fun superhero book with vile villians, giant Mechas and some really great mythological creatures. But there is certainly an underlying theme of fear and loss.”<\/p>\n

\n

THE MIGHTY TITAN<\/strong> —<\/p>\n

The story of the world’s strongest protector and how he deals with the idea that of mortality.<\/p>\n

“Imagine for a moment that you were the worlds strongest protector. Imagine<\/strong> that no knife, bullet or bomb can harm you. Then imagine in that moment you are told you have cancer.<\/p>\n

“Titan is a character who is for all intents and purposes, invulnerable<\/strong>. He cannot be harmed by any means known to man. His alter ego doesn’t have such luck. Titan’s alter ego is dying. What now?”<\/p>\n

\n

I was all set to beg some money for the man and kick the butts of everyone I could reach toward the Kickstarter page to throw down some money, but it looks like he’s hit his goal. Congrats Joe!<\/p>\n

Since that’s the case, I want you all to look down at the art below. I want you to picture just how much awesome this book is brimming with. Then when it becomes available, you can line up with me to buy a copy.<\/p>\n
