Isaac Lee Edwards Jr. is a Black independent comic book writer and creator born and raised in Austin, Texas, who has been developing stories since age 6. He is the creator of the Battle Chi Universe — a self-published interconnected comics universe comprising multiple series and characters. The flagship title Battle Chi follows Derrick Edmin, the reincarnation of a universal legend known as the Chi, after the Chi and its counter-opposite the Syn fall and are reborn into new lives. Available through his Fourthwall storefront at battlechicomics-shop.fourthwall.com, the series has been a decade in the making.
