SERENO - Exclusive Hardcover Collection

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.

Thank you fans, who support CEX and our creators, for doing us on this incredible journey.

Stretch Goals

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.
