Heya, Homeopeeps! Here’s a little in-between love for your inbox - it’s a special occasion because I have a new comic launching in June and I think you’re going to dig it.
EVERFROST is a brand new sci fi miniseries from Sami Kivela and Ryan K Lindsay, the smash hit team behind BEAUTIFUL CANVAS, CHUM, and DEER EDITOR. And I gotta tell you, it’s great to have the band back together again. I’ve been making comics with Sami for nearly a decade, and it’s always exciting and makes me a better writer.
This futuristic story follows Van, a scientist who retired to the ice coast to die, who has finally figured out a way to escape off planet. Here we will find her walking through the snow, and she’s carrying a big sword, and even bigger loss in her heart. But first she needs to work out how and why she just bumped into her son who she hasn’t seen since he died in her arms when he was a child.
Everfrost is a 4 issue miniseries published by Black Mask Studios
Artist: Sami Kivela [Abbott, Undone By Blood]
Writer: Ryan K Lindsay [Eternal, Negative Space]
Colourist: Lauren Affe [The Witcher, Stranger Things, Five Ghosts]
Letterer: Jim Campbell [Giant Days, Wasted Space]
Editor: Dan Hill [Beautiful Canvas, Metropo]
#1 is in Previews Magazine now for a June 02 release - Order Code: APR211533
This comic is a mix of icy Frank Frazetta imagery over Blade Runner science and is a perfect fit if you love SAGA, ODY-C, BLACK SCIENCE, and DESCENDER.
Everfrost has interstellar giant alien skull-whales, emotional flashbacks, sky fights, clones, and a giant fucking sword. It’s wild, it’s absolutely stunning, and it’s designed to also make you feel a little, too.
If you read ETERNAL or BEAUTIFUL CANVAS or NEGATIVE SPACE, then I think you know what I’m aiming to do with this one. Each of those comics sold well, gained stellar reviews, and got me to a place to write EVERFROST. I’m trying to marry the scenery of big epic genre pieces with the heart of weird smaller character studies, and hopefully find a sweet spot in between where your new favourite comic lives.
Talk to your LCS about preordering the comic, and ensuring you get a copy set aside for you when it hits the streets in June!
Indie comics live and die on the vine based on your buzz - if you preorder a copy then the store will probably tack a second one on for the shelf, if 5 of you preorder, they’ll maybe up it to 10, but if 50 of you preorder, then they’ll feel the love and know they’ve got a hit on their hand and stock up appropriately!
This comic means the world to me, and the team, and we’re going to hit the streets hard to let you know why you should be excited for this, too. We look forward to introducing you to Van and the rest of her completely broken and insane cast of characters. I know you’re going to love them, and the journey they go on.
Woo! I’ve messaged our LCS. Looking forward to it!
