Information
Long ignored, but serious in their own right - comics and graphic novels are often relegated to the children's table. That's NOT where I would expect to see Sin City! It's time to support our Black Comics.

The year is 2250. It is 140 years after the Net Wars of 2110 took its toll on the world's economy especially the American region. Soon afterwards 'Neo America' formed an alliance with Japan and together they created the first international city called 'Sanctuary'. Sanctuary was to be a Utopian city government that all cities worldwide would use as the template for their restructuring. An new law enforcement agency, Munipol, was put in place to serve and protect this next generation of civilization.
The Sewer or Outer Sanctuary, lies directly in the wasteland on the outskirts of Sanctuary. It's riddled with the poverty, organized crime, and all things that have no place what is to be the city of the future. Caught in the turmoil created in forging a New World Order are: a seductive African ninja and two determined Munipol Officers determined to find her first.

The dream of blacks making science fiction as a concept has been in the minds of many of us since we were all children watching science fiction movies and television shows such as Buck Rogers, Star Wars, Battle Star Galactic and Star Trek. Most of us have however, found that the characters that are ethnic, as a general rule most often have been relegated to secondary roles, sidekicks, stereotypes, sex objects, dope heads, not in the show at all or my favorite the first to die in the show.
We however, feel it is only right to present science fiction with a different face, one that is not filled with the normal negative representation of ethnic characters. We think that it is essential for characters of all colors and creeds should be represented positively and fairly.
The Digital Brothers Company is made up of individuals directly involved in a multimedia, web design, computer technology, graphic design, animation, photography and advertising. With this background coupled with talented writers, we decided to start making our own short films after seeing disappointment after disappointment in our representation in present science fiction shows. Eventually we hope to do a major feature when the opportunity presents itself. With this said we hope that you will enjoy our shows and ask that you spread the word and support us in our endeavors.
As I write this, we have set the things in motion to create our first science fiction project. The story was written back in 2002 and is set to become a comic book, movie, action figure set and video game. Wish us luck and check back for more info on the project as it develops.
I think what pushed me over the edges was that my 7 year old son and I were watching tv together and he asked me "Why are all the bad guys black people? " I tried my best to explain things to him as best I could. But I was ashamed that the situation was so dire that a then 1st grader could see it. So given that. I decided that since there were not enough positive images out there for him then I would create them for him.
