Eon Press Presents

A comic universe eons in the making

Among the Jonn'Qarra, he is known as Behemoth. As if his towering stature and distinctive horns weren't enough to distinguish him amongst his brethren, Behemoth also possess phenomenal strength, the likes of which he seemingly only has to test to see how far it can go. Trapped in an alternate universe for ages, Behemoth is one of two heralds sent forth to search for their jailers: The insurgent group of Jonn'Qarra known only as SURGE. Having emerged even stronger and filled with a quiet rage that has simmered for millenia, Behemoth will find SURGE and show them the true depths of oblivion.

The ELO-z20, colloquially known as the “Zergt”, is an older DEW model known  for its durability, ease of maintenance and excellent balance between energy discharge versus longevity. While still considered a reliable sidearm, it no longer sees wide usage, as newer models have an internal self-regenerative power source. Whereas the Zergt still requires replacement power loads. Despite this drawback, some still prefer the better discharge/energy ratio and the much higher discharge settings. Single power packs can be pushed to deliver incredibly powerful blasts, while self-rechargers have limiters protecting the user from long recharge times. DCA Operative Zackery Smith is known for dual wielding a pair of Zergts.

Orchid Turnarounds.

"Jonn'Qarra" literally translates as "second skin". They took up this name because of the coating or glaze that covers each of them, giving each a unique appearance and form. However, the bonding of this layer goes far beyond mere surface appearance. The Jonn'Qarra are fundamentally changed internally and physically. The "skin" also bestows great power, longevity and ability unlike anything that is native to their species.

For eons, Wavelength did what he thought was right for his kind. Protected. Served. Honored his people in any way he could find. He believed the Jonn'Qarra were special. Chosen to be a beacon of light and glory in the universe. Beautiful and proud. But a chance run in with the founder of SURGE would open his eyes to a harsh truth. That Jonn'Qarra were as susceptible to the frailties of morality and will as any other species. And now, the world will hear his cry.

She walks in shadow, like the night. You've previously met the Jonn'Qarra called Inertia. If you had to face her in combat, you wouldn't be facing her for long. Literally. Her powers over the physical motion of objects could easily have you charging into battle one second, and crashing into a wall the next. Or into an ally. Or off a cliff. Physical strength, speed, range. They're all pretty much useless against an adversary who can see you coming, and instantly make it not so.

Witness Inertia and her teammates face off against enemies that will put even her powerful abilities to the test in the upcoming first edition of SURGE. Watch this space!

As behemoths go, Monstrosity (Hey, he picked the name) might not be what you'd expect. Is he strong? Immensely. Is he tough? Exceedingly. But is he ashamed of his appearance? He'd have it no other way. As Jonn'Qarra warriors go, he's as skilled as they come. And he's honed his abilities over the millennia to mitigate the disadvantages of his bulk and size. Meaning an adversary planning on counting on speed and flexibility need watch themselves. Looks can be deceiving. And Monstrosity will take nothing for granted. You shouldn't either.

The three personas of Rhapsody.

Agile, fast and charged with plasmic energy, Query chose to stand with SURGE in the final days of Jonn'Qarra's reign over Earth. Even if it meant condemning the ones he called friends to eternal limbo. Even if it meant betraying the one he loved most of all.

Watch this space for more Tales of the Jonn'Qarra. Coming soon!

The deadliest weapons the Jonn'Qarra will ever face.

[eonpresspresents]

Tom is a cat. And his life, like most strays, has been anything but easy. But things got even worse when the humans in white coats took him in. And did things to him and other strays that hurt. A lot. Little by little, Tom ended up alone in the big white room of cages where he and the other strays were kept. And ever since he's been here, Tom has started to feel...different. More alone. More aware. And very, very angry. Tom has decided that his current owners need to be stopped, or even more animals will be hurt. Tom has decided that he'll be the one to stop them.

The Three Shapeshifter Types #3: Liquid.

The Liquid Shapeshifter is the most flexible of all shapeshifter types. Liquid Shapeshifters often demonstrate an ability to change into any living or inanimate thing, with little regard to a differential in mass between that thing and their default form. Often the Liquid Shapeshifter will revert to a liquid state between shape changes, to gain access to areas a solid form couldn't, when at rest or when injured or killed. While they can use their ability for disguise, they will often use it in offensive or defensive ways, such as turning limbs into weapons or other defenses. While some with liquidic abilities can change into highly complex forms, often their abilities are limited to cosmetic changes only, making it difficult to fool things like blood tests or DNA scans or making it difficult to change into things like machinery or chemical compounds. The viscosity of the shapeshifter's liquid form can vary, with some being a thick gelatinous material, while others might be nearly water.

The Three Shapeshifter Types #2: Rubber.

The Rubber Shapeshifter is one of the more pliable of the three shapeshifter types. The name is derived from the "rubbery" plasticity this type of shape changer typically exhibits. Often the Rubber Shapeshifter opts to stretch, bounce or otherwise make itself malleable, rather than emulate a specific person or thing. And when they do change into specific objects or lifeforms, they frequently maintain the color scheme they had in their default form. Seemingly unable, or unwilling, to alter their coloring, the Rubber Shapeshifter usually uses their ability more as a toolkit, than for subterfuge or infiltration.

The Three Shapeshifter Types #1: Humanoid.

The Humanoid Shapeshifter is the most basic of the three shapeshifter types. Typically they can only shapeshift into other people or person shaped objects. While their mass can seemingly change, this is limited in scale, and they basically only use their abilities to disguise themselves as other people. Although some Humanoid Shapeshifters have shown an ability to morph into smaller lifeforms, such as dogs or even large birds, this is rare. While this power has limited use cases, it is still versatile enough to be considered invaluable and makes the user potentially dangerous.

Capala Suresh doesn't talk about his past much. He'll mention his parents immigrating to England before he was born. But that's about it. His electrical powers remain unexplained, and untamed. Without his focusing armor, his powers can exceed his ability to control them. But even so, he remains the most optimistic member of FUSION, and uses his humor and wit to deflect questions about his past as easily as he uses it to diffuse tension amongst his teammates.

AI Specialist Dr. Makon

The Makarii joined the galactic confederation known as Interstar under one condition. That they could remain somewhat independent as they culturally developed as naturally as possible. They just wanted access to medicine and technology as needed. As it turns out, the Makarii were using that isolation to develop Interstar tech outside of the prying eyes of the council. A decision that will ultimately spell doom for their civilization.
