SI Universe Media is proud to announce — the hotly anticipated followup to SECRET IDENTITIES: THE ASIAN AMERICAN SUPERHERO ANTHOLOGY — SECRET IDENTITIES VOLUME 2: SHATTERED!
After 18 months of much-needed downtime, we’re excited to announce that work is now underway on a second volume of all-new tales set in the grand tradition of heroic graphical fiction: SECRET IDENTITIES VOLUME 2: SHATTERED, targeting a 2012 publication date.
Thanks to a generous development grant from the Vilcek Foundation, we’ve begun the monumental task of putting together a sequel to Secret Identities — one that we hope will be even bigger, better and more boundary-breaking than the original. Shattered will take readers to the darker side of the Secret Identities universe, exploring the nefarious, sinister and menacing side of the good guy/bad guy equation in order to upend, reenvision, reimagine — to shatter — the distorted and negative images that have shadowed Asian Americans since the earliest days of our arrival in this country.
This time out, we’re looking for stories that showcase strong and vivid interactions between heroes and villains — even stories with the 'villain' as protagonist — as a way to question the power of perception to shape reality. We’re also looking to incorporate a broader range of comic genres — superheroes, and more..
And we’re looking for you to contribute.
