Mynx & Savage

Getting lost in a story is a dangerous temptation

Adam is a comic book writer coasting on his past successes in the glossy pages of Mynx and Savage

Much to his chagrin, his employer has assigned him a partner, Ket, to ensure he makes his next deadline

Ket is young and ambitious

Her life was changed by Adam’s first serious graphic novel, and she aches to know what new, “important” work Adam is working on

As the duo sets to work on the 100th issue of Mynx and Savage, the fantasy bleeds into reality as the superheroes and their mild-mannered alter egos invade the artists’ space

Adam finally starts to trust Ket and shares the story he’s been hiding

It is the story of Jill and Kyle, two childhood friends on summer break who dream of superheroes

Where Kyle is frightened, Jill is brave

Where Kyle is secretive, Jill insists on honesty

This is the story that tortures Adam, the story he’s been hiding from the world

It’s the origin story of Mynx and Savage

In the end, as the worlds of the children, the superheroes and the artists collide, Ket helps Adam realize that he has no future until he makes amends with his past
