7/17 Going to Comic Con International? Stop by booth 2304 for free schwag and to purchase a copy of our new comic - The Origin of Red Death, Issue 01!
The Avengables are a ragtag team of heroes lead by Colonel Cobb, a retired military officer and expert strategist. Jimmy "Broc" Brockowitz serves as his second in command - a former soldier that is the lone survivor of their top secret experiments, leaving him with the ability to create bionic armor. The current roster also includes Audrey Thorne, AKA Sapphire, a powerful mutant that possesses telekinetic and psionic abilities. Thomas Fitzgerald, more notoriously known as Red Death, is their newest recruit - a former vigilante with issues towards authority. Together, they attempt to protect New Bloom City from Dr. Despairagus, his genetically modified Grunts, the mafia, bullies, thieves, corrupt politicians and countless other super villains.

Written by Avengables creator Emmalee Pearson, featuring artwork by Jeremiah Zeier, who voices Broc and Punchline on the web series.
The Avengables is a blend of traditional rod puppetry, digital animation, special effects, and 3D. Once the script is complete, our talented voice actors bring the words to life. We then sync up their performances with storyboards to create an animatic. This previsualization tool allows us to better plan our shots and prepare the miniature sets. When shooting, the puppeteers perform to the recorded dialogue to get the timing right. Edited with Adobe Premiere, composited in After Effects, sweetened via Audition, with facial animation done in Character Animator. The mouths and eyebrows are mapped onto the puppets using mocha and 3D camera tracking. Music and Foley are added once the picture is locked. Special effects, color grading, and the credits are added before rendering the completed episode.
