A cosmic origin story in graphic-novel form

Forming links humanity’s emergence and the birth of civilization to a much larger mythic and cosmic conflict. Its scope moves across Atlantis, ancient history, and distant galaxies, bringing alien gods, Greek Titans, assassin droids, and human beings into the same imaginative framework. The book also takes on questions of life, matter, time, and space, with hand-painted gouache, ink, and airbrush artwork shaping its visual world. The project began in 2009 and is presented here as a completed epic, combining speculative creation themes with mythology and science-fiction elements.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in epic fantasy graphic novels with cosmic and mythological subject matter
  • Readers who enjoy stories combining ancient myths, alien beings, and humanity’s origins

Book overview

In Forming, Jesse Moynihan takes 50,000 years of socio-religious postulation and throws it in the blender to create one epic--and irreverent--battle royale between alien gods, Ancient Greek Titans, interplanetary assassin droids, and humanity itself. Originally begun in 2009 and garnering hundreds of thousands of followers online, Jesse Moynihan's acclaimed Magnum Opus was never completed -- until now!

Spanning Atlantis, 10,000 BC, across eons and galaxies, religions and myths, humanity emerges from the primordial soup, only to be exploited for its labor by an alien super-being, leading to wars and forces between the likes we could hardly comprehend if not given life before our very eyes via Moynihan's breathtaking and hand-painted gouache, ink, and airbrushed pages. Forming heralds the birth of civilization and maps out the genesis of life, mass, time, and space, followed by the raging war that ensues in the universe's years of adolescence and beyond, as the final fate of the universe unfolds.

Moynihan's epic collision course of gods and mutants, philosophy and hilarity, mythology and psychedelia are an instant classic of cosmic comic book world building on par with Kirby and Moebius.
