What will you do if everyone was born with Super Power, but you are the only one that wasn't? "I want to be human again..." Phoenix.
Hypothetically, if I were to have any superhero powers ... I'd like the power of teleporting. That way, I can freely teleport myself to various restaurants around the city or even the world. Obviously, in reality this can never happen but in the comics world; anything is possible.
A friend of mine, Kai Hong Cheung, recently started a new comic venture with a buddy of his. The project is called Comic Phoenix 2014, and they are currently looking for funding to produce the 68 page black and white manga.

THE SYNOPSIS "PHOENIX VOL.1
Humans, a race that has never been content with the privileges one
possesses, never rest to try and surpass God. As a result, countless
years of research and resources had been devoted to genetic engineering.
This led the world to successfully create the next chain of
evolution—inherit super powers at birth. Eventually, the number of super
humans grew, leaving natural human beings to be extinct. Humans tried
so hard to become something so great, but all they’ve done, is made
themselves more inhumane.
Crime rates increased and greed
in people's heart grew bigger as more and more people began to misuse
their abilities. Ones with great power but twisted hearts gathered to
enslave and threaten the weak. Years of disorders passed and those that
could stand and fight rose to a war, known as "The War of Hope". As
years went by, the world started to crumble. Both sides started to
wither away. To salvage what was left the “Act of Settlement” was
implemented. Academies were established to educate those with great
power to maintain order, help control their power and preserve peace.
However, as the world returns to its order, a dark force rises, to
submerge the world in darkness again.
The story begins in "The Underground Lab" where Henry Emmerich, a genius researcher, attempts to reverse the effects of genetic mutations. His son, Frank Emmerich, possesses super human strength which is deemed dangerous by the Academies and is targeted by their elite forces. As a result, Henry and his partner, Lucifer, re-initiate the "Project Phoenix" to eliminate the seed of disaster their ancestors had once planted. As the story unfolds, what awaits Henry and his fatherly love attempt to untwist Frank's fate?
