This is a proof-of-concept comic book that asks: What if knowledge from 2025 reached Rome and kicked off an industrial revolution?
The story follows two voices: - Ulysses, a present-day archaeologist who finds a glowing slate in the dig site. - Marcus, an educated household slave in 79 AD who replies on that slate.
Why I’m posting:
I’d love narrative feedback. – Does the story make sense? – Are Ulysses and Marcus believable? – Which directions would you explore next (politics, tech, moral fallout)?
What’s live today - First issue, 25 rough pages. - No paywall; just a PDF.
Next steps
Regular releases toward a 8 or 10 issues collection. I’ll revise based on your critiques and wild speculations.
Grateful for any thoughts on pacing, historical plausibility, or character depth.
Thanks for reading!
