Story
Meet Sereno, the Mystic Master of Light and guardian of New Teia, a city where magic and science intertwine by night! An avatar of collective Paranoia, a shepherd of Nightmares, and a Cult of Hate are just the start of an evil conspiracy transforming the city, as nighttime foes and misled souls prowl the night. Can Sereno fight back while keeping super cat burglar Rufián from stealing... his heart?
Sereno's chaotic shadow self is coming to life all on its own! SERENO will soon find things are not as black and white as he thought, in this epic showdown of Darkness and Light! In an evil super ritual, Photophobos, god of Anti-Light, gathers villains to take down Sereno. The hero's Secret Origin might hold the key to salvation in an esoteric all-out Battle for Godhood!
Created by Luciano Vecchio (Iceman, Ironheart, Champions, and DC Pride), this personal tale of a super hero fighting for his community and to understand his own heart is a deeply personal work for the creator and LGBTQ rights advocate.

Bio
Luciano Vecchio is a comic book artist and writer from Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a special interest in queer representation in the Superhero genre. He recently was artist on Marvel Comics’ Edge of Spider-Verse, and DC Comics’ DC Pride. Having developed a very personal style as a full rounded author, Writer/Artist credits include Marvel Voices and Iceman for Marvel Comics, continuing to explore a creative facet that started with his creator owned series SERENO, which is now being printed in English for the first time through CEX.
CEX publishing is committed to producing high quality comics and graphic novels with the best creators! We’re only interested in bringing you, the reader, great comics—we’re not making diet movies or unapproved TV ideas—we’re all about the comics—as Joe Friday used to say, “Just the comics.” (Pretty sure that’s what he said…) We’re a home for great creators producing great content. We don’t care if they’re not big names yet, because we’re approving content from creators we believe in. We’re looking for talent, drive, and a commitment to great storytelling. Thank you fans, who support CEX and our creators, for doing us on this incredible journey.

Timeline
This exclusive hardcover is in the final stages of being designed as of the start of this campaign. The content is done though, and the plan is to get the books into production, signed and remarqued within a month after the campiagn is over. From there, it will take 3-4 months to get everything from the overseas printer to our fulfillment center, so a goal of October '23 has been set for everyone to receive their rewards.
Zoop will provide regular updates and communicate any delays that may pop up.
Stay in the loop with our latest news.
