Daomu, which translates to "tomb robber," explores an underground world that has been active in China for thousands of years. After witnessing his father's violent murder, Sean Liu discovers that his family belongs to a secret society of tomb raiders. Led by his uncle, Sean joins an elite team of Daomu to go deep underground in search of answers. Who are they? Who -- or what -- killed Sean's father? And what horrors await beneath the earth's surface?

Though Western audiences have long embraced Japanese comics and cartoons, Daomu's arrival in the U.S. is a first for a high-profile Chinese entertainment property. Our work is based on the Daomu Bi Ji ("tomb robber's journal") novel series, which is hugely popular in China. We have a lot of exciting transmedia plans for this property that we'd love to tell you more about in person.

CC2K Co-Founder Robert J. Peterson invites you to support his sci-fi novel The Odds: Book One of the Deadblast Trilogy. It's a post-spocalyptic action-comedy that hearkens back to madcap movies like Big Trouble in Little China. Give it a look!
