Metaphase

Lauren really doesn't belong at superhero school. Growing up an orphan, no heroes ever flew over her corner of nowhere as she scrounged and scrapped just to last another day. But after she and her twin are stolen from their home and experimented on for an unknown purpose, Lauren finds herself in a city in desperate need of new champions, and a class full of powered teenagers with their own oddities and problems. Between the search for her missing sister, her volatile classmates, and a new hierarchy arising from the ashes, Lauren will need to rely on her instincts and her emerging powers if she's going to make it to graduation alive. Metaphase is a slow-burn, character-driven drama with bursts of action and a main character who slowly evolves and changes, not always for the better. For enjoyers of Young Justice, Invincible, and similar stories with superpowers and angst. Readers can expect:A serialized story that tries to move the plot along at a decent pace while still leaving lots of room for character moments, a cast of colorful characters that rotate in and out of the spotlight, two main PoVs with occasional chapters in other perspectives, an original superhero universe inspired by comic book shared universes without a unified power system, and plenty of teen drama; Special warning for occasional bloodshed, death, mass destruction, torture, and teens being realistically horny. . . . Currently posting roughly 4-6k word chapters once a week, usually on Mondays with occasional bonus chapters if I have the time. Metaphase, as with all my projects, will always be 100% human made, from writing to editing to any artwork. Cover by Lily Herring @elle.aech on instagram
