About

Before there was a comic, a script, or even a title, there was a story in my head waiting to be told.

Over 15 years ago, I told the woman who’s now my wife that one day I’d bring this world to life.

I grew up on comics, TV, and film. All of them shaped how I see story. But movies inspired me to create. The way they made people feel for characters who didn’t even exist always stuck with me. I don’t just want to entertain. I want you to laugh, cry, and cheer. That’s always been the mission.

I’ve always seen Armor of the Gods as a live-action epic. That’s how it plays in my head when I write. But comics felt like the only place to start, because here we’re only limited by imagination. It’s a rite of passage and I’m proud that this is where The Armor Saga begins.

I started Hidden Trees Comics to tell the kind of stories studios stopped telling. I’m not trying to be like Disney, Marvel, or DC, greenlighting soulless cash grabs, and dragging beloved stories through the mud. I put everything I have into this because I believe people deserve quality. If you’ve ever loved a game, movie, comic, or book that felt like it was made with love, that’s what we’re building here.

You’re not just welcome. You’re essential. This is more than a story. It’s a movement.

This is just the beginning. Let’s bring this world to life and make something unforgettable.
