A Prologue comic to help introduce the story for the upcoming feature film Messiah.
The group comes to a clearing to rest for a brief moment. Theo and Kyle begin to talk and it is revealed that he has just been released from prison. Upon learning this news, Kyle insists that Theo immediately leave the family alone. However, the rapidly escalating solar event causes a great disturbance in the atmosphere and triggers a severe asthma attack in Allison. Unfortunately, Allison’s inhaler was left behind on the road on which Theo and the Martins met. With very little options and even less time, Theo springs into action and dashes back across the woods in search of Allison’s lost bag.
Theo locates the bag but it is in the hands of a dangerous vandal with no regards for the needs of others. Standing tall in the face of adversity, Theo wrestles the bag away from the arms of the vicious thug. He then races back to the Martins to deliver the precious medicine.
Once the inhaler is in Allison’s hands, the situation seems less grim. Kyle has a chance to reflect on all that Theo has done for his family. He looks past whatever sins Theo may have committed to see him as the good man that he is. But time does not allow the group to get comfortable; they still must reach shelter.
Theo sees the Martins to safety at the small shelter they have been trying to reach. Rebecca attempts to get Theo to stay with the family through the solar event, but Theo insists that he has other things he must attend to. Goodbyes are exchanged and Theo begins to walk away when Allison chases after him. She asks him bluntly why he went back for her inhaler when he didn’t have to. He replies that all along, Allison has reminded him of his daughter – his daughter whose death he is responsible for. Allison finds this news touching and wishes Theo well on his journey.
Theo’s travel comes to an end as he reaches a beautiful cemetery. He solemnly walks among the tombstones until he reaches a special one. Just as the solar event is reaching its height, Theo is once more blinded by the memory of his daughter and falls to his knees. Finally at his place of peace, Theo spends his last moments at the grave of family. The ominous sun reaches a climax as a fiery wave envelopes a redeemed man.
The drone engages its weapon systems and eliminates the suit and his merc, then it engages in an escape protocol, escaping through some vents until it finally reaches the sewer where it recieves new coordinates. T The drone emerges from a different sewer searching for subject zero. Through some hallways and past some lockers it comes within range of it's target. The drone successfully identifies subject zero.
The drone then tracks the subject back to his apartment where it begins it's final run and preps the vessel for entry. It enters the apartment of the subject and waits for the right momen. From his kitchen, it paints the target. Then it engages the subject letting out a loud alien like screech.
Immediately the cerebral connection begins to load, but like any other animal with its territory threatened, it resists. Subject zero vacates his place in a panic and ends up in the woods behind his apartment. The drone must launch auxillary boosters to maintain control. This causes subject zero to collapse. The connection is completed. Subject zero has been activated.
All those innocent lives, never forget.

The world's population has been infected, turned into violent, undead, bloodthirsty savages roaming the Earth until they starve. There is not much hope to be had for the human race.

But before all can be lost, an ancient force has been alerted to this crisis and has activated a fail- safe placed around the beginning of creation. These fail safes were crusaders that were given special abilities to overcome any crisis. But above all else they suffer the burden of deciding whether the species should continue or if their time was up. These crusaders all went by one code name, Messiahs.
​
Arriving just in time, this fallen hero will assemble his team and do whatever it takes to stop this threat. For the Messiah does not care who you follow, or what you believe in, all he knows is he has a job to do. And he plans to let no one stop him.
