2D Wednesday “Brutus the Bound” from Exit 73 Studios

A nice trailer for a series called Brutus the Bound from Joe Colson who we interviewed last year.

Brutus, a great warrior from a distant planet, is ripped from his past and taken to the future of an evil Overlord. The Overlord holds Brutus’ family hostage, and binds Brutus in a temporal harness, forcing him to become an Infinite Gladiator, fighting opponents throughout time and space.
