Love, Loss, Magic, Cats, Coffee, Growing up and More… Destiny, NY!
SET IN a version of New York City where magic is a real and accepted part of life, Destiny NY is the story of Logan McBride, a woman who was the subject of a prophecy when she was young.
Much like real-life child stars, prophecy kids often burn out in the worst ways. For McBride this means navigating through a post-grad school for prophecy kids dating in 2016, and finding her place in a world that tells her she’s already finished!
However, the magic realism and the prophecies are the backdrop for our story, whereas as the story is said to focused squarely on the characters, their lives, and the way they shape each other. It’s about people.
Destiny is written by Pat Shand, best known for long runs on Robyn Hood, Charmed, Van Helsing, and Grimm Fairy Tales, as well as his creator-owned work including Vampire Emmy and the Garbage Girl, Family Pets, and Suckers.
Shand has also worked on comics such as Joss Whedon’s Angel, Equilibrium, Disney Princess, Zootopia, and more. His forthcoming novels, Iron Man: Mutually Assured Destruction and Avengers: The Serpent Society will be out in late 2016.
Artist Manuel Preitano studied in Rome, and produced work for comic fanzines until the internet put him in touch with publishers all over the world. His current credits include work for Zenescope Entertainment, Graphic India, Dabel Brothers, and regional Italian publishers. While letterer Jim Campbell has worked on comics for Boom! Studios , Zenescope Entertainment and more.
Destiny, NY is said to be about the New York City that many don’t see: a constantly changing perspective on who we are, how we can look back just two years ago and ask, "Who was that?" It is being crowd-funded via Kickstarter and you can learn more by clicking here.
