(Isstories Editorial):- New Port Richey, Florida Sep 11, 2025 (Issuewire.com) – The Lion of God, the first book in a new series from author and multimedia creator David Cole, has officially arrived. More than a comic-book release, it is a sweeping introduction to a universe that merges sacred history, mythology, and deeply personal storytelling.
At its center stands Samael, an archangel often shrouded in mystery. In scripture and mysticism, Samael embodies both judgment and protection, a paradox that has made him one of the most debated angelic figures. In Cole’s telling, Samael is not a distant archetype but an awakened identity — one revealed to the author himself in a story that blurs the boundary between lived experience and imaginative creation.
The debut volume immerses readers in celestial and astral landscapes, where ancient bonds are tested against the backdrop of cosmic conflict. Samael’s journey is both internal and external: a search for identity and truth, even as forces of chaos gather in realms beyond human sight. Characters such as Lilith, depicted not as adversary but as Samael’s equal and counterpart, bring the series an emotional resonance that complements its larger mythological scope.

Unlike conventional superhero tales, The Lion of God is less about capes and costumes and more about meaning. Every encounter carries a symbolic weight. Every battle mirrors a deeper struggle. Cole has crafted a story that asks readers to reflect on their own lives while they follow a narrative rich in otherworldly adventure.
Cole has ambitious plans for the series. Each new installment will expand Samael’s universe while remaining rooted in themes of choice, responsibility, and transformation. In blending autobiography with allegory, The Lion of God becomes not only an epic to be read, but also a conversation with the reader — an exploration of what it means to wrestle with destiny.
About the Author
David Cole was born on February 8th in Putnam, Connecticut. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Baker College in Flint, Michigan, and spent a decade working at Microsoft. While there, he engineered a sophisticated diagnostic engine that allowed technicians to reconstruct a virtual CPU and memory map from system crash data, reducing problem-solving time dramatically.
Beyond his technical accomplishments, Cole is an artist at heart. He created the video game Hunt The Muglump, available on Steam and iOS, and developed the iOS app Gematria Wizard. In recent years, he has turned to filmmaking and live-streaming, producing projects such as No One is Your Enemy and Dear Lilith, I Love You (Sweet Dreams), which has been submitted to multiple international film festivals and has already won the best director award from New York Tri-State International Film Festival. He also runs Venomous Press and Old Skool Games and Software, offering software development and creative projects alike.
Cole’s personal tastes lean toward the overlooked and the unconventional. A lifelong fan of classic horror and science fiction films of the 70s through the 90s, he finds inspiration in the cultural artifacts most people have forgotten. He lives on Florida’s Gulf Coast with his wife Sarah and their son Elijah, where he continues to merge technology, art, and storytelling into original works.
