Edgeworld centers around hero Killian Jess, a magistrate and former soldier who lives on planet Pala and is in charge of protecting it. The planet is reminiscent of an old Western town, while also being set in space. Jess must battle alien invasions, rogue militaries, and essentially any and every other threat the galaxy could throw at Pala and its citizens.
Austen is best known as an animator and producer on shows like King of the Hill, Steven Universe, The Cleveland Show, and more. Olliffe is a veteran comic book illustrator who has drawn characters such as Spider-Man, Batman, Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, and more. Both creators will serve as integral parts of conveying Edgeworld through the small screen to a widespread audience, while also keeping the originality of the story intact.
