Kamen America, Vol. 1: Stars and Strife

Product Information

After turning down her future prospects with her media rep, Carly Vanders is working tirelessly to promote her fashion brand and living up to her superheroic persona while suffering a daily barrage of media smear pieces. Timothy Lim (NINJAINK, LLC) is a freelance illustrator whose work includes licensed art for merchandising, comic book covers, and plush toys. Mark Pellegrini is a prolific comic author, having written the best-selling tokusatsu superhero send-up series KAMEN AMERICA, the war-action-rabbit series BLACK HOPS: U. Conflicted with the need to take down her friend-turned-foe, Kamen America is faced with the decisions she'll have to make to stop Vermillion's destructive rampage while salvaging what's left of their relationship!

Born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas, he is a first generation American born to Asian immigrants. All-American Face: Carly started out as an ambitious American girl who loves her country, and her superhero outfit incorporates the American flag. It's Kamen America versus Vermillion Masquerade in their final confrontation, culminating in the epic finale of the Stars and Strife Saga-- and Carly's story is just getting started! Elemental Powers: Several of the Kamen Corps have them, including Misha (who has fire powers) and Kimiko (who has water ones). Moreover, her outfits in general accentuate this for her team, which causes some problems when monsters attack during a fashion show and Sylvia has to run back to the hotel while wearing one of Carly's skimpy outfits so she can get her power armor and deal with the threat.

Carly and the Kamen Corps are in an awkward, precarious position as they must face the reality that one of their friends is the villainous Vermillion Masquerade! For the next month and a half, Kickstarter is hosting the campaign for Kamen America Volume 4 AND the series' first Omnibus, which contains Volumes 1-4 in one hardcover book! It's one thing to summarize this breath of fresh air of a comic, and entirely another to read it for yourself.

As Carly and the Kamen Corps rise to newfound respect and fame, giant robots start appearing and wreaking havoc across the globe.
