The Mutant World of Rite is a fictional universe that combines the elements of science fiction and fantasy in a truly ominous setting that transcend physics and nature. The new world taps into the familiar dystopian end of the world vibe and injects it with a nasty dose of fantasy and fright. The Mutant World of Rite fiction assumes that most modern life occurred roughly parallel to the real world up until late in the twenty-first century.
In this series I simply aim to display colorful heroes at their darkest moments. They must wear their strength on their sleeves with gut wrenching consequences at every turn. This is done through parallels in a fantastic after the end of the world fashion. Inspiring heroes and heroines who must choose to do right and in doing such suffer great losses.
Coming Soon…
