Myth Makers: A New Era of Superheroes and Modern Myths

Superheroes have long been our modern myths, shaping the way we tell stories of heroism, loss, and redemption. In Myth Makers, an indie comic series created by Moroni Aguilar, these themes take center stage, delivering a gripping, character-driven narrative that blends action-packed storytelling with deep emotional resonance. With issue #4 now on Kickstarter, fans of X-Men, TMNT, Spider-Man, Power Rangers, Sailor Moon, and Gargoyles won’t want to miss out on the next chapter of this thrilling series.

The Story So Far

Myth Makers tells the story of a group of unlikely heroes who, after coming together for the greater good, slowly evolve into a found family. Through their shared adventures, they learn what it truly means to be a hero—both in battle and in life. But their journey isn’t without hardship.

In the last issue, the Myth Makers barely survived a harrowing battle in Hell, where they faced a literal Death Goddess. The experience solidified their decision to officially become a team—except for one member: The Crimson Warrior.

Now, in Myth Makers #4, the team heads to Tokyo, Japan, to convince Crimson Warrior to join them. However, his past trauma holds him back. He lost his old team once, and the thought of losing another is too much to bear. The issue picks up with monsters rampaging through the streets of Tokyo and Crimson Warrior gravely injured. As he faces his most dangerous battle yet, he must make a choice—learn to let people in, or die fighting alone.

A Story of Loss and Healing

One of the core themes of Myth Makers #4 is loss and the different ways people cope with it. The comic explores several key emotional struggles:

How we deal with losing loved ones and the power of new connections.
How the fear of future loss can push us into isolation.
How shutting people out might feel like self-preservation, but ultimately leads to a downward spiral.
How being part of something bigger—a family, a team, a community—can help us heal.

For readers who enjoy stories of heroism with depth, strong character arcs, and high-stakes action, Myth Makers delivers on all fronts.

Meet the Heroes of Myth Makers

A story is only as strong as its characters, and Myth Makers has assembled a dynamic team of heroes, each bringing something unique to the table.

A seasoned hero with a mysterious past, Crimson Warrior is known for his brutal efficiency. No one knows where he comes from, only that if you’re a villain and you see him coming, you should start running.

Star Fragment

A magical warrior filled with light and joy, Star Fragment embodies the essence of heroism. She’s known as one of the kindest heroes around, though some suspect there’s more to her than meets the eye.
