Launching next Tuesday: WAHCOMMO - a dark fantasy graphic novel by Luis NCT!
over 3 years ago – Sat, Oct 17, 2020 at 12:18:43 AM

Hi everyone!

We are launching our next Kickstarter campaign NEXT TUESDAY for another beautiful hardcover graphic novel, this time a dark fantasy in the best LOTR tradition: WAHCOMMO, illustrated by the phenomenal LUIS NCT!

Mixing familiar aesthetic elements from THE LORD OF THE RINGS with character threads from YA tales such as THE GIVER series and the GRACELING series, WAHCOMMO will appeal to fans of high fantasy from every direction. Filled with classic elements of role playing games such as BALDUR’S GATE, THE ELDER SCROLLS, and THE WITCHER, WAHCOMMO offers an adventure filled with an exciting and unique visual style that mixes comic art with painterly brushwork and the cinematic scope of an animated feature.

It’s a bold narrative about determining one’s own fate and defying social expectations.

We're absolutely over the moon to have gotten one of our most favorite artists ever, the multiple-award-winning co-creator of one of our favorite Eisner-nominated comics, ISOLA, to provide a campaign exclusive variant cover for the book: KARL KERSCHL!

Campaign-exclusive variant cover by Karl Kerschl (Isola)

In fact, we are so excited by Karl's cover art that we are giving away a FREE LINEN CARDSTOCK PRINT of his cover art to every backer who pre-registers their promise to pledge on our landing page at www.wahcommo.com!

Just visit that site, enter your email address, and when we see your pledge come in during the campaign, we'll mark you down to receive one of these beautiful pieces! (This is similar to our pre-registration offer for the Peach Momoko print for ASTER... if you missed that one, here's your chance to get in on this one!)

Visit the pre-reg landing page for more art and preview material, then also visit the pre-launch page on Kickstarter to be notified when it goes live on TUESDAY OCT. 20th at 10am CST!

Thanks for your continued support!

Our latest project is now live: ASTER OF PAN - a post-apocalyptic graphic novel by Merwan
over 3 years ago – Wed, Aug 26, 2020 at 05:40:44 AM

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to share this link (in case you hadn't gotten an email or other news about it) -- we've just launched our next Kickstarter project! (Yes, already!) :D

ASTER OF PAN is lushly watercolored original graphic novel by acclaimed writer/artist/animator MERWAN (“Blood and Gold”, “For the Empire”, and “Glory Days”). This 200-page hardcover is packed end-to-end with high-octane action sequences mixed with gripping character drama and a moving spirit of determination and hope. Like the best high-concept YA summer blockbusters, ASTER OF PAN will have you poised at the edge of your seat till the end credits roll.

It's like THE HUNGER GAMES meets DODGEBALL as if animated by Katsuhiro Otomo.

The gallery-quality 8.5"x11” hardcover edition of this 200-page work of art will feature a campaign-exclusive variant cover by celebrated illustrator PEACH MOMOKO (@peachmomoko60). This variant and any additional stretch goal items will only be available through this campaign. (The standard retail edition featuring Merwan’s original cover will also be available as an add-on after the campaign.)

READ THE FULL 8-PAGE OPENING PROLOGUE SEQUENCE HERE!

(More pages will be added to this link throughout the campaign!)

So hop over to the campaign today to see more, including the trailer video and a link to sample pages. This amazing book is really something you have to see to believe!
