WarPigs: Center of Gravity

Every page is built by hand — comic-book craft powered by whatever tools get the job done right, without losing the soul of the work.

WarPigs draws its name and its soul from two real forces: the brave, heroic legacy of the 369th Infantry Regiment, known to history as the Harlem Hellfighters, and a lifelong love of hip-hop and mythology. The concept took root in 2013 during military strategy studies at Fort Belvoir's Command and General Staff College, inspired by an ancient battlefield tactic: igniting pigs to charge and terrify war elephants during the Second Punic War, turning an enemy's own strength against it. That same idea, unconventional force answering overwhelming power, became the spine of the WarPigs universe.

For decades, the United States stood as the most versatile, agile, and effective military in the world. Then came the drawdown: conflicts ended abroad, and with them came widespread military layoffs. When a new global threat emerged, capable of overwhelming conventional forces, the world needed something more than soldiers. It needed a team of Superservants.

WarPigs Issue #1 is a Superservant comic set in Chocolate City, a decade after 9/11. Unexplained attacks strike military installations and cities worldwide, triggering mass casualties and panic. With no clear enemy and no conventional answer, the President convenes his advisors and authorizes the recruitment of a new kind of protector, specialized individuals capable of facing a threat the old military can't.
