What is LANTERN CITY?

LANTERN CITY is an exciting foray into a fan-inspired and fan-created transmedia universe. It combines the epic scope of the Star Wars series with the street-level intensity and attention to detail of The Wire. The characters, both major and supporting, are well developed and intricately woven into the multiple storylines. The series blends action, romance, unique sci-fi, and political upheaval in an exciting way that will entice readers to return issue after issue.

Class and geography divide breathtaking, unfamiliar, and terrifying, LANTERN CITY. The ruling class, called the GREY EMPIRE, lives high above the populace where they bargain and manipulate for every ounce of power they can muster. In the majority, the WORKERS, who occupy the sordid street‐level neighborhoods, keep the city going by tirelessly producing in every necessary facet, all under the thumb of the GREYS. The UNDERGROUND, a city underneath the city, is equal parts enticing and dangerous. It’s the only place where citizens are free, but everything in the Underground is up for grabs and violence is the only way to negotiate.
