a new supernatural empath comic series
Sylas, a first responder in New York City, finds his life changed forever when he is gifted empathic powers to heal people who are struggling with pain and suffering.

VOLUME 1
Sylas, an EMT with a troubled past, is granted the power to sense and siphon pain from others. He is now able to ease the suffering of people around him— but at a cost. The more Sylas uses this power, the more it curses him with carrying the miseries of those he's helped. Tormented by bearing the burdens of the world, Sylas is charmed by a charismatic drifter who shows him there is more than one side to this power.
In this new fantasy series, Syphon blends noir with the supernatural and asks the question, "How much weight of the world can you carry?"
Comic book documentarian PATRICK MEANEY (Grant Morrison: Talking with Gods, The Image Revolution ) teams up with artist JEFF EDWARDS (G.I. Joe ) in a story by MOHSEN ASHRAF (Pantheon ) that evokes the lore of Neil Gaiman's American Gods with the psychological thrills of M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable .
"Meaney and Ashraf pack Syphon with a gripping showcase of the human experience and a unique supernatural aspect."
– Katie Liggera, Comic Critic
"SYPHON is a brilliantly crafted story."
