“Dread & Alive is the first superhero comic book with a Jamaican superhero. Selected #4 on Web Designer Magazine’s Hot 100 for 2011, due to the integration of the art, music and interactive technologies, Dread & Alive #6 is set to raise the bar even further.”
Released on May 17, 2011, Dread & Alive #6 sees Drew share his findings with Brandy and Casey about Gryphon and his men in a SOMA warehouse the night before, prompting the trio to head back to the warehouse to gather more evidence. When they arrive, they are surprised to find the building vacant with no signs that Gryphon, his men or the illegal animal products were ever there. Drew decides to have a closer look around the warehouse and soon discovers that things aren’t always what they seem.
Dread & Alive is the first superhero comic book with a Jamaican superhero. The story follows Drew McIntosh and his battle against evil in both his adopted city of San Francisco and native Jamaica. Selected #4 on Web Designer Magazine’s Hot 100 for 2011, in great part due to the connectivity between the art, music and the multi-media, Dread & Alive features innovative QR technology (bar codes that link to audio, video or information online using a hand held device) in each issue.
Dread & Alive’s The Lost Tapes v6 represents a turn toward the center for the critically acclaimed music series. The rock infused sound of Rootz Underground and the minimalist arrangement by Bushman and Earl ‘Chinna’ Smith capture a quintessential reggae vibe. Artists like Kehv, Melodic and Wio K as well as Taddy P and Tanya Stephens, bring distinct elements of seductive soul, pop, R&B and Hip Hop while never abandoning their reggae roots. And “Me Mantengo Fuerte (I Stay Strong)” by Danny I extends The Lost Tapes’ reach into Latin America where reggae fever is at an all time high.
