Veillence
.
To Mateo, Veillence appears to be an ordinary new student.

But she didn’t transfer to his school by accident.

Every conversation has a purpose. Every friendship brings her closer to her target. And behind every smile is a mission Mateo knows nothing about.

Is Veillence an enemy, an ally—or something caught between the two?

Would you trust her?

THE ELEMENT VS. SLUDGE MASTER & CIPHER VEX

The Bronx won’t survive this fight unless Mateo finds a way through both of them. 💥

One is a monster with nothing left to lose. The other is a master of making sure everyone loses.

Which villain would you face first? 👇

THE ELEMENT VS. SLUDGE MASTER
.
The Bronx has seen monsters before. It’s never seen one like Sludge Master. 🗑️💥
.
Element can command fire, water, earth, air, and electricity. But when the streets themselves turn against him, power alone won’t win this fight.

Who’s coming out on top—Element or Sludge Master?

THE ELEMENT VS. CIPHER VEX. ⚡🥷

One is only beginning to understand his power.

The other has spent a lifetime being tortured into a weapon.

Cipher Vex didn’t come to the Bronx by accident. He was sent with a mission—and he knows far more about Mateo, his abilities and his hidden past than Mateo could ever imagine.

Element fights with the uncontrollable force of five elements.

Cipher Vex fights with precision, discipline and a loyalty that cannot be questioned.

Raw power versus calculated destruction.

But when they finally collide, this won’t be just another battle.

It will be the beginning of a rivalry built on secrets neither of them fully understands.

Who wins: Element or Cipher Vex?

THIS IS WHAT BUILDING A UNIVERSE LOOKS LIKE. ⚡

From comic-book pages and animated scenes to conventions, community events and meeting readers face-to-face—every moment in this video represents another step in the journey.

Element began as an idea shared between a father and son. Now, Jesiah and I are watching that idea become artwork, animation, books, merchandise—and most importantly, something people genuinely believe in.

We are independent creators. We don’t have a giant studio behind us. What we have is a story we believe in, an incredible creative team and a community that continues to support us.

Every purchase, follow, share, comment and conversation helps us build the Element Universe one page at a time.

This is bigger than one comic book.

This is family.
This is purpose.
This is legacy.

Built in the Bronx. Created by family. Powered by the community.

The journey is only beginning. ⚡🔥🌊🌪️🪨

THE BRONX DIDN’T ASK FOR A HERO.

IT CREATED ONE. ⚡🔥🌊🌪️🪨

Mateo Alvarez is a fifteen-year-old Bronx teenager carrying the power of five elements—and the weight of a destiny he never chose.

He’s still learning what he can do.

Still discovering where his powers came from.

And completely unaware that the enemy watching him knows more about his past than he does.

Every image reveals another side of Element—but his real journey is only beginning.

ELEMENT ISSUE #1.

A new hero. A hidden past. A battle for the Bronx.

Which elemental power would you choose?

CIPHER VEX

He was raised to love the man who destroyed his family.

Cipher Vex believes Entropy rescued him, raised him and gave his life purpose. He doesn’t know that the man he loves like a father is responsible for the tragedy that shaped his entire life—and molded him into a weapon.

That does not make him innocent.

But does it make him evil?
