The Furies Fernando Blanco

Preface The Power Project The Furies was the first manga I ever made with my brother. The fledging manga was begot in High School. When my skills became good enough, I started it again using better paper. Each page took a single week. In time, I was able to complete a page a day. We have been toying with the idea of having it published. Recently, we got around to it. The story is about a Sumerian magic user who happens to be named Gilgamesh, who happens to have a friend named Enkiku. One day, ancient Greek goddesses called The Furies enter his castle and start tormenting him. Gilgamesh does not know who or why those Goddesses were summoned. During one of his skirmishes with the Furies, he ends up meeting the love of his life, Kida. She has a strange connection with the Furies, rooted in her unique ability. IntroductionThe Power Project The Furies focuses on Gilgamesh and Kida's adventures with the Furies. The Furies are the McGuffin of our manga. They just get the plot rolling. For those not familiar with the Goddesses, they are Greek revenge Goddesses. They only appear when somebody has killed a family member. They torment their victim till he kills himself. Once he kicks the bucket, they take the soul and continue their torment some more. The Furies seem to think that Gilgamesh has killed his father, thought Gilgamesh cannot seem to remember doing the deed. It also doesn't help that his court seems to think so as well. The only person who believes in Gilgamesh's innocence is his best friend Enkiku. Since Gilgamesh doesn't understand the nature of the foreign Goddesses, he does not threat them with the seriousness that the Furies desire. Their relationship somewhat when Gilgamesh meets Kida. Kida has a strange familiarity with the Furies. Plot aside, the manga features a lot of action and comedy. We put a lot of thought into the choreography of our battles.
