ABOUT
A unique brand
Hi! My name is Edwin Brown, the creator of Spidercade Studios. Join me on my creative journey from childhood dreams to building an original comic series!
A Christian series like no other!
Zero Hour Epsilon Force is a unique superhero, fantasy and science fiction series that's grounded in Biblical principles and references the Bible a lot. However, unlike a lot of other Christian content which is often targeted for very young audiences, Zero Hour Epsilon Force was specifically designed for teens. Adults have even loved it too. The series uses real world issues and historical events to help the readers relate to the characters while empowering them to overcome many of those same challenges that the characters may face. Some issues addressed include racism, mental health and cancer among many other topics and how Jesus is the answer to it all.
Furthermore, the series is packed full of action and fight scenes that were heavily inspired by many of the old school Saturday Morning cartoons from the 90s and 2000s and big screen superhero movies, making this a unique and intense series that you won't find anywhere else! If you want a high stakes, a relatable Bible-based series full of aliens, robots, menacing villains who are actually real threats, and super powered characters who aren't afraid to throw down and stand up for Jesus and for what's right, this is the series for you! The OG edition of issue 1 was a 2023 Black Authors Matter Children's book award for comics. There's also a PG version of the series for younger audiences called G8 if you're a parent with younger kids.
Inspired by the nostalgic Saturday Morning Cartoons from childhood!
As a child, drawing and being active were some of my favorite things to do. I also loved watching Saturday Morning cartoons and action movies as well as reading/listening to Bible stories like Samson and David and Goliath. Nature was also somewhat of an interest of mine and I loved learning about reptiles and dinosaurs. All of this combined motivated me to create my own superhero named Tyrannogator who I drew a lot throughout my childhood. I always imagined Tyrannogator in various situations similar to the heroes on TV and how he would fight his way out of them using his superpowers and athleticism.-
​
Fast-forward to adulthood and I decided to create a comic series of Tyrannogator from the childhood drawings I did of him. I wanted the series to be Bible-based in order to tell people about Jesus while also still keeping it intense, entertaining, action packed, and relatable so people would actually want to read it. This way it could be similar to many of the superheroes, anime and action movies I loved as a kid while still making Jesus a central point of the series. Hence, this is why it's more for teens and young adults unlike many other Christian content that's around.
The murder of George Floyd was partly what made me decide to include more relatable content in the series that people may encounter in real life (such as racism or diseases for example) and to speak on those topics and show that despite circumstances that many people may go through in real life, God is still bigger than it all and Jesus bore it all when he died and rose again.
SPIDERCADE? WHY THAT NAME?
The name Spidercade is combination of the words spider and arcade which is a throwback to the mobile arcade style game called Arachnidoom that I created and published back in 2017. This was the first game I had ever created and it was based off the original villain character I made as a child to fight against Tyrannogator. The game is a simple survival game where the player takes control of a spaceship and shoots missiles at a barrage of spiders coming from outer space. The player must shoot as many spiders as possible to raise their score before the spiders inevitably take over, ending the game. I later recreated the game a couple years later with a different developer platform for the ease of keeping track of the game. Currently the game is still available to download online. Since this was my first ever published game based on a character I created, I decided to make the business name based on that and Spidercade Studios was born.
