Braham Entertainment is shaking up in the comic book universe with the television rights acquisition of Godhood comics’ The Antagonists, an action-packed comic book series with a unique spin on the superhero genre.
Created by Tyler F. Martin, The Antagonists is a unique take on the average “superhero story”. It follows married infamous supervillains Destructus and Ultima as they settle into retirement after successfully taking over the world. Wanted and pursued by the governments of the world, the couple struggles to keep their worst impulses in check while balancing married life, parental responsibilities, being Black in America, and hiding their past and former identities from their superpowered children.
Selling out in mere minutes upon its launch, The Antagonists has captivated audiences, garnering over 22k followers with fans describing the series as The Incredibles meets The Boys meets Ozark. Helmed by Emmy-nominated Producer and Filmmaker Noel Braham, Braham Entertainment is dedicated to showcasing diversity and highlighting young, bold storytellers and fresh talent.
“We are extremely excited about this new partnership and for the development of this dynamic franchise. Being that Tyler and I hail from the same hometown (Atlanta), this is definitely a full-circle moment. The Antagonists provides a fresh and innovative perspective into topical issues and characters that aren’t typically represented in mainstream Hollywood, and we look forward to working with Godhood Comics to bring it to television screens worldwide” said Noel Braham.
“My love for comic books has always been critical in my creative journey as I aim to tell the stories that seem to have been forgotten, and we are thrilled to be working with Braham Entertainment to bring the world of The Antagonists to the television screen. This was a bittersweet project for my team and I, with messages, narratives, and concepts that spark a unique dialogue. What is a villain? And more importantly, what makes one?” said comic creator Tyler F. Martin. “Myself along with Felipe Dunbar, the co-creator, wanted to ensure that we had an authentic representation of the African American family, despite their shortcomings. The stories of the underdog, the little guy, and those of us who feel unseen and unheard, The Antagonists is our calling card.”
Braham Entertainment was recently nominated for two Daytime Emmy awards for his latest project, Watchtower, in the Outstanding Special Class Directing and Outstanding Special Class Short Format Programming categories, and won the Disney/ Lucas Fan Film Award for Best VFX and Best Choreography for his project Star Wars Exile.
