As promised here’s another look at the page 1 of Blood Cries Out with fifty percent of the colour now added by Gat. Stay tuned for the end of the week and the finished page complete with lettering from Nic!
I’ve already seen the next stage of this page with more colour and more special effects!!!
As we are just around the corner for Christmas it seemed like the perfect time to announce the release of Tales of the Forgotten on Kindle.
You can pick up your copy now for £3.60 from the Amazon Kindle shop. If you have a Kindle Fire have no fear as this copy will be in full colour.
When truth must be stolen from the mouths of the wicked, it falls beyond the reach of mere heroes.
Liars, loners, losers – trapped on the outskirts of a war fought in silence and shadow. Drawn into darkness, they flee it, they study it, they make it their home.
They are the Forgotten – a flickering circle of torchlight in an expanding world of Unseen Shadows.
Tales of the Forgotten is the second anthology to be released from the ever-expanding Unseen Shadows universe. The comic collects four standalone stories featuring characters taken from the pages of the bestselling novel Fallen Heroes and the audio drama Empire of Blood.
‘I strongly recommend you get this book’ –Sci-Fi Pulse
Featuring new stories following Ben ‘The Hand’ Ashodi; master thief with a motor mouth, Kathryn Monroe; investigator and genius analyst, then finally Bob Kelsey…dragged into the world of the occult, this cowardly journalist has let himself in for much more than he bargained for.
That’s right people from now until the end of December as part of a special deal for Christmas anyone buying a copy of Tales of the Forgotten from the Unseen Shadows shop on Comicsy will receive a free digital copy of the Fallen Heroes novel.

About Unseen Shadows
Unseen Shadows Ltd is dedicated to expanding the world and characters created in Fallen Heroes through various transmedia elements. Currently in development are several more comic titles, a five part audio drama, a comic adaption of the Fallen Heroes novel, a live action web series and more.
“These are not just nice little side stories with no impact on the events surrounding them,” Barry Nugent, the found of Unseen Shadows explains. “The spin-offs expand and enhance the characters lives and relationships within the novels. It was important to me that the spin offs can be read, watched and listened to independently of each other and the novels but you will get more insights into the characters by experiencing everything the Unseen Shadows universe has to offer.”
So last weekend Unseen Shadows were in full effect at the Thought Bubble Festival in Leeds. I’ve made no secret that Thought Bubble is my favourite comic convention and this year only served to reinforce that fact. I’ve attended the con both as a visitor and an exhibitor and have always come away with nothing but respect and admiration for the way the organisers run the show. On both days when I was either setting up the table or taking it down at the end of the day a member of the TB team always swung by to see if I needed any help. I found them to be nothing but friendly and helpful throughout the weekend.
There was a fantastic vibe to the show throughout the weekend and on the few occasions I got to leave my table there were some fantastic comics being sold. Anyone saying the UK comic industry is on the decline needs to check out Thought Bubble 2013 next year or one of the other brilliant UK comic cons.

In terms of the weekend itself I had a great time and caught up with lots of old faces and met several new ones. I also caught up with several of the Unseen Shadows creative team members who were in attendance to celebrate the launch of Tales of the Forgotten, sell their own wares or throw around ideas for new projects. I also got chatting to several artists and writers all looking to step into the shadows and join the creative team.
Sales went well for all the Unseen Shadows material and as usual I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of people who picked up a copy of the novel.
On the Sunday myself, Corey Brotherson, Cy Dethan and Richmond Clements headed over to the Alea Casino where we took part in a panel hosted by Yomi Ayeni to discuss the first official year of the Unseen Shadows company, how we got started, what we’ve accomplished to date and where we go from here. The panel included a first look at the brand new titles and ideas we’re working on.
Unseen Shadows Panel
You can check out a video of the panel below and you can now order our newest title Tales of the Forgotten from the Unseen Shadows shop.
In honour of the launch weekend for our second anthology Tales of the Forgotten at the Thought Bubble Festival we’ve decided to drop the price from our original convention price £8.50 (RRP 9.99) to £8.00. If you you pick up the first anthology Tales of the Fallen and get both for a bargain £15.00.
Don’t forget as well the Unseen Shadows: Year One panel (Sunday 12:10 – 1pm in the Alea Cinema Room) and the special Unseen Shadows Year One digital collection DVD (£10.00) see you all there at table 17 in the New Dock Hall.
