ABOUT

The Vision

Zeravos is a dark, emotionally driven comic series spanning 11 issues, blending psychological horror, mythic tragedy, and visceral action. Through Ethan, a man unfortunately chosen, manipulated, consumed and reshaped by the Lord of Chaos Arkanis, to wield the relic known as The ShadowBlade. Readers will confront themes of corruption, redemption, and the price of power. This is just a taste of the first issue. I'm confident in the story being told and throughout the duration of the 11 issue run, a motion comic and animated series can come from it.

The World of Umbra

Set in the Shadow Realm called Umbra, the story unravels the histories of the Shadow Realm and the current ruling of it. Arkanis is sick of the current council controlling the reins and aims to do something about it. This realm once in balance, maintained by the Council of Umbra, until chaos disrupted the order.

Themes & Tone

• Deception & Identity – The blade’s forgotten purpose reflects Ethan’s struggle to remember who he is.
• Balance vs. Corruption – Skia as order; Arkanis as unchecked chaos.
• Free Will vs. Manipulation – Every choice Ethan makes questions whether he’s his own man — or a puppet of destiny.

What Lies Ahead

Zeravos is just the beginning. Through motion comic adaptations, immersive lore, and stunning visual storytelling, Darkroot Comics aims to create a lasting universe. You are invited not just to read but to experience the descent, the betrayal, and the rebirth of something deeper in the shadows.
