StoneGate Cinematic Universe (SGCU) presents:

DISTRICT FILES — BLEAKSTONE POINT (Issue #1)

Written by Adam Dudley & Aderinto Ebunoluwa
Cover Art by Tristan (United Kingdom)

This is where it begins.

District Files is the official graphic novel series within the StoneGate Cinematic Universe (SGCU), laying the foundation for Becoming Hank Luciano: StoneGate City — a crime-tech story centered on power, survival, and transformation.

BleakStone Point — Issue #1 explores the early life of Sincere Cross, before the name Hank Luciano is ever established. Set in a district shaped by pressure and limited options, the story follows a young strategist navigating decisions that carry lasting consequences.

This is not a standalone release.
It is the first entry in a growing series under SGCU.

What begins here will expand across future issues—leading into a larger cinematic experience.

Issue #1 is coming.
Coming to Digital & Print.

StoneGate Cinematic Universe has officially entered development on its first graphic novel.

District Files — Issue #1: BleakStone Point introduces the early foundations of StoneGate City and the origins of Sincere Cross before he becomes Hank Luciano.

Script development is currently underway as the story moves into production format to guide illustration and visual storytelling.

SGCU has also quietly launched GateFund on the official website, allowing early supporters to contribute to the foundational stages of the universe. Early contributions will help support development and the creation of an official teaser trailer for the Becoming Hank Luciano film.

This marks the first step in building the StoneGate Cinematic Universe from graphic novels into larger cinematic projects.
