SYNOPSIS

   A cemetery caretaker’s midnight shift goes sideways when a dead man rises from his grave to give him a magical orb and a mission - to deliver the glowing orb to his Grandson Victor. Only two things stand in his way...Victor Vetika is a reclusive world famous singer and he currently resides in Enasni Hospital for the criminally insane for murdering a group of fans at one of his sold out shows. And, as he travels to Enasni Hospital, the caretaker discovers he is being stalked by the dead.

A LITTLE HISTORY

   United Forces was a combined concept that Gary Dufner and Phil Avelli were working on before they knew what it was to eventually to become. The two friends met in art college in NYC (School of Visual Arts) and would draw silly pictures of themselves wielding weapons and killing things.

   While Avelli worked on his own comic book, Leaf, Dufner started putting their characters in comic stories as “Gary ‘n Phil” eventually titling it “United Forces” - after the love of the band S.O.D. and their famous song.
