Masters of the Sun (comic)

Masters of the Sun is a comic book series created by Benjamin Jackendoff and will.i.am (William Adams). The comic's initial incarnation was a graphic novel published by Marvel Comics. It is based on an original story concept by will.i.am, drawing inspiration from hip-hop culture, zombie lore, and Los Angeles history.

The narrative typically centers around a hip-hop crew battling an ancient alien entity that has transformed individuals into zombie-like creatures. The group often utilizes music and technology as weapons in their fight against the undead and the alien threat. Key themes explored within the series include the power of music, unity in the face of adversity, and the importance of cultural heritage.

Beyond the initial Marvel graphic novel, "Masters of the Sun" has expanded into other mediums, including augmented reality experiences, further solidifying its presence as a transmedia project.
