UPDATED: Mon, Jul 11, 09:14AM Following the international success of Jinnrise (due for release as a 2018 animated television series from m4e), Jabal Entertainment's CEO Sohaib Awan details the development of its latest project: Blades of Hope. Chris Ryall (editor-in-chief, IDW Publishing), Ron Corcillo (LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures), Russ Carney (Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Siya Oum (creator of Aspen's comics' Lola XOXO), and Maryam Awan (Blades of Hope) discuss how properties like Blades of Hope overcome roadblocks and stereotypes to become true transmedia brands. The Blades of Hope journey/movement is once again proving that gender specificity does not define heroism in comics or the real world.
