THANK YOU!
Creator/writer of So-Called Living
Mark Maia
Mark is creative wizard behind a whopping 80+ video game titles and a 24-year spree in the gaming biz. When he's not conjuring up worlds for you to play in, you'll find him buried in comic books, flipping through the latest novels in his collection and strategizing over board games. With a toolkit packed with skills from character creation to digital animation, and a BAFTA award under his belt for the mobile game "24". Now, he's leaping from screen to page with "So-Called Living", a comic book that's all set to be as fun, engaging, and immersive as his video games.
Artist
Marco Leone
Marco's early career involved collaborating on various projects with smaller publishers, a period that paved the way for my significant breakthrough—He now works with CMON GAMES to illustrate a series of cards for Marvel United.
My artistic style is a unique blend, striking a balance between the whimsical and the grotesque.
