Billionaire Solomon Kane believes his family has been charged by God to rid of the world of mythical creatures. A mysterious crew comprised of gentle beasts including Bigfoot, a Chupacabra, and the Mothman must now unite and fight to survive.<br \/>\nWritten by Andrew Shayde with art by Levi Zimer and Magic Eye Studio.\u00a0 The 1<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0issue will feature two covers.<br \/>\n\u201cI was a young na\u00efve kid from Kentucky on\u00a0<em>The Amazing Race<\/em>, but that wild experience really opened my eyes to a million things out there in the world. One thing I fell in love with is folklore from other countries.\u00a0<em>Monsters Among Us<\/em>\u00a0takes some of the coolest urban legends from around the world, like Bigfoot and the Chupacabra, and pits them in a battle for survival. Those that watched my season of\u00a0<em>The Amazing Race<\/em>remember my dad and I had some serious issues to fight through around religion and that is the concept for which the entire comic book series is based. In the series I threw in some\u00a0<em>Amazing Race<\/em>\u00a0nods for my fellow fans out there.\u201d says Shayde.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019ve always had an inquisitive mind into the unknowns like Bigfoot and Loch Ness. These are what inspired the story of\u00a0<em>Monsters Among Us<\/em>. I wanted to tell a story that could bring a handful of these mysterious creatures together in something that was fun and exciting but I also wanted a heavier message in it.\u201d mentioned Andrew.<br \/>\n\u201cI love urban legends. Stories about Bigfoot or Nessie I can\u2019t get enough of. There is a part of me that really hopes there is magic and mystery left in this world. This hope is why I wrote the series\u00a0<em>Monster Among Us<\/em>. Throughout the series readers see dozens of mythical creatures and end up, most likely, rooting for them. But behind\u00a0<em>Monsters<\/em>\u00a0there is a very clear message about minorities and their treatment from those in power. It\u2019s something our country is dealing with in big explosive ways right now like the Black Lives Matter movement and the backlash on the Transgender bathroom laws.\u201d Shayde continued.<br \/>\nStorm Entertainment has worked with other reality stars in the past such as the\u00a0<em>Fabulous Beekman Boys<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Les Stroud: Survivorman<\/em>.<br \/>\nMonsters Among Us #1 Is available for $3.99 on your e-reader from iTunes, Kindle, Nook, ComiXology, DriveThru Comics, Google Play, Trajectory, My Digital Comics, Overdrive, Iverse, Biblioboard,\u00a0ComicBin, Axis360,\u00a0Blio,\u00a0Entitle,\u00a0Comicblender, Kobo and\u00a0wherever\u00a0eBooks are sold.<br \/>\nThe french publisher WETTA will also be releasing the comic book day and date in France.<br \/>\nYou can get the print copies at Comic Flea Market by clicking here:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.boom-art-department.com\/wordpress\/?email_id=38&amp;user_id=13917&amp;urlpassed=aHR0cDovL2JpdC5seS9abEQ1QnM=&amp;controller=st\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/ZlD5Bs<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reality TV Star Andrew Shayde, from the Emmy award-winning\u00a0The Amazing Race,\u00a0will be releasing his first comic book this week called\u00a0Monsters Among Us.
