Almost Faded: The Happenstance

Almost Faded is a four-part comic series set in a shared universe where an unprecedented event—The Happenstance—suddenly causes all men on Earth to shrink to just a few inches tall. The series explores the cultural, societal, and personal transformations that unfold in the wake of this surreal phenomenon.

The first installment, Almost Faded: The Happenstance, kicks off the saga with four short, interconnected stories that capture the immediate aftermath of this bizarre global shift. Rather than focusing on a single protagonist or narrative arc, the series invites readers to explore a range of scenarios and reactions—imagining how such an event might reshape power dynamics, relationships, and daily life.

Each volume in the series jumps forward in time, offering a snapshot of society at a different stage of adaptation:

1. The Happenstance (what you are purchasing right now) – The minutes and hour immediately after the event, when most people—especially women—are unaware that something unimaginable has just happened.
2. Volume 2 – Set hours after, showing initial reactions: government confusion, media chaos, and personal reckonings, like a woman rushing to find her ex before it’s too late.
3. Volume 3 – A year later, as society begins adjusting. Some women exploit the situation, and power imbalances become more normalized—though still controversial.
4. Volume 4 – A decade on. Society is split. Men, now permanently miniaturized, live in segregated zones or work under exploitative conditions. Social roles have fractured, and the world is fundamentally different.

This isn't a character-driven saga. Instead, Almost Faded offers an anthology-style dive into a world transformed, where the thrill lies in the speculative situations that might happen.
