The Jackson Cosmology Project Trilogy

Saga’s official poster

**The Jackson Cosmology Project Trilogy** is a story saga split into the Origins, Titanic and Racing Arcs, and spans across Seasons 3, 4 and 5. In this trilogy, the origins of Katie Jackson are revealed, as well as The Group’s major battle against what was thought to be a normal human Kathy Beefer and later The Dark Lord as they shapeshift into and possess members of The Group to take down Katie, The Group and the universe as a whole. It also crosses over with another of Bryan Martinez Rodarte’s works to resolve plot points in that series.
