FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New Superhero Comic "Upheaval" Set in Orlando, Florida Takes the City by Storm Orlando, FL – March 7, 2025 –
A thrilling new superhero comic titled Upheaval is now live on Kickstarter, bringing a high-tech, action-packed story to life, set against the vibrant backdrop of Orlando, Florida. This gripping 28-page comic, written by Travis Gibb (Granite State Punk), illustrated by Brian Wolf (GraveSitter), colored by Alexandre Starling (10th Muse), and lettered by Jerome Gagnon (Assassin’s Creed), blends pulse-pounding battles with an intense narrative exploring the rise of cutting-edge technology and the chaos it brings. Upheaval follows Popi Katou, a woman orphaned at the age of 13 when her family was slaughtered by the ruthless Japanese crime syndicate, the Violet Lotus.
With their influence stretching from Tokyo to the streets of Orlando, the Violet Lotus thought they had wiped out the Katou bloodline. They were wrong. Raised in the shadows by an adoptive family, Popi spent years studying the syndicate’s operations and pushing her mind and body to their limits. Now, she has become a ghost in the system, a phantom haunting the streets of Orlando. Armed with her own high-tech weapons and enhancements, she has transformed into a force of vengeance—Upheaval—the fastest, smartest, and deadliest hero the city has ever seen. In a city where crime runs rampant and technology’s rapid evolution has blurred the lines between hero and villain, Popi, now Upheaval, fights back against the criminals who took everything from her. She’s not just a superhero—she’s a living nightmare for the Violet Lotus and anyone who stands in her way. Upheaval combines a gripping narrative with high-stakes action and a cutting-edge visual style that will appeal to fans of both superhero comics and tech thrillers. T
he comic’s urban setting is a perfect fit for Orlando’s growing reputation as a hub for innovation and creativity. The Kickstarter campaign is live now, offering fans a chance to get their hands on this exciting new series and help support its production. With its Orlando roots, Upheaval is set to make waves locally and beyond, combining the best of superhero storytelling with the unique energy and innovation that defines Central Florida.
