We’re thrilled to release Roman’s Rise Issue #1 by Michael Dolce and illustrator Jason Badower!

From the Executive Producer of THE COVENANT…

“Roman’s Rise has everything you could want in a comic. It’s a fun story with fantastic characters, beautiful art, and electric colors that put it over the top. Kudos to the creative team and to Rogue Matter for starting the year off right.”

– Darren Sanchez, former editor of Marvel Comics

Mercenary, adventurer, podcaster… Roman Rhodes is on a mystical global quest into the darkest parts of Chinese mythology and Kung Fu adventure to find REN, his missing sister, who is being hunted for her extraordinary power by the demigod warrior SHEN WU.

Roman’s Rise is a love letter to Big Trouble in Little China (1986 film) and funny enough for the Hangover (2009 film) audience.

Michael Dolce, the creator of the Roman’s Rise series, was at LA Comic Con!

Michael Dolce has been a professional Writer, Artist, Podcaster, and Awesome Dude in the comic book industry for over 20 years. He co-created “Descendant” for Image Comics, “The Mainstream” for Zenescope, and continues his creator-owned superhero book “The Sire” on Kickstarter and in stores. In 2020, Rogue Matter brought on Michael as Chief Creative Officer, where he has written several new titles, including “Time Trader” and the upcoming “Roman’s Rise.” When he’s not creating comics, he’s hosting the hit pop culture podcast The Rogue Wav Podcast, available on all major podcasting apps.
