More than a graphic novel. More than a comic.

THE QUEEN'S HEROES UNIVERSE

Is an independent queer sci-fi universe 25 years in the making. At its center are six heroes from marginalized communities who suddenly discover they may be humanity's last chance for survival. But before they can save the world, they must answer a question humanity has never answered for them:

Is humanity worth saving?

What began in the notebooks of a Puerto Rican teenager grew into a 700-page graphic novel universe built around identity, resilience, sacrifice, and the power of being seen.
This is where the story begins.

700+ pages developed

NEVEAH

NEVEAH

A trans kid forced to survive violence and homelessness in Montenegro, she is saved by a stem cell doctor who gives her the chance to finally become herself through a new gender transition procedure.

Meet the creator

Before there was a universe

There was a notebook.

Fernando was once a child filling notebooks with stories and searching for heroes who looked like him. Growing up queer and Latino, he rarely saw himself at the center of the worlds he loved.

So he made a promise to his younger self: one day, he would create that universe himself.

For more than two decades, through sacrifice and countless reasons to give up, that promise endured. Today, The Queen's Heroes exists because a child refused to let go of a dream.

What began in a notebook became a universe built to remind anyone who has ever felt unseen that they can be the hero too.
