Here’s a first look at page 1 from Cademus is Lord written by Richmond Clements with art by Elena Vitagliano. The story is set decades after the events of Fallen Heroes and things have not turned out to well for the world.
To find out more and pick up the new Unseen Shadows anthology Whispers of the Righteous we can be found in New Dock Hall at Table 184 at the upcoming at Thought Bubble Festival.
Two posts in two days I know we’re spoiling you but this one is a biggie so it could not wait.
Been holding off with this news because I wanted to make sure that everything was ok with the printers and bar any last minutes setbacks we will be bringing something a brand new Unseen Shadows anthology to Thought Bubble.
I will be teasing some more artwork and info in the days to come but for now sit back and enjoy the Press Release and a first look at the cover.
Whispers of the Righteous Launches at Thought Bubble 2014
Transmedia Company Releases Third Comic Anthology based on characters from bestselling novel ‘Fallen Heroes’!
Whispers of the Righteous is the third 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.
Featuring new stories following Sir Oliver Cademus, the enigmatic founder of a centuries old cult and his devout knights as theydevote themselves to creating a new world based on their twisted ideals. The final story follows T.O.R.C.H agents Luther Washington and Kathryn Monroe, it’s Katherine’s first case and she’s in a race against the clock to save a little girl from a madman.
The creative team behind the anthology are some of the brightest and best indie comic creators, including Lizzie Boyle, Conor Boyle, Peter Rogers, James Evans, Virgil Yendell and Aaron Moran.
The anthology will launch at Thought Bubble Festival 2014 in Leeds on November 15th & 16th. It will be available online to buy shortly afterwards. Check http://www.unseenshadows.com for more details.
Fallen Heroes writer and Unseen Shadows puppet master Barry Nugent will also be at Thought Bubble taking part on a panel discussing diversity in comics on Saturday 15th of November at 4pm in the Panel Area of Leeds Docks.
I know, I know it’s been a while since you’ve heard from the Unseen Shadows crew but rest assured the team have beavering away on several projects. First up is the news that we now have an artist for our Choose your own adventure story Napoleon Stone and the Army of Set.
The story has been written by Richmond Clements (Historia, Operation Solomon) who will be joined by his Historia artist Alex Moore who is getting her teeth stuck into the project as I type.
Here’s the first look at some early sketches from Alex. I reckon this is going to be my new wallpaper!
I was a huge fan of Alex’s work on Historia and more than a little excited by seeing what she’s doing even at this early stage.
The finished book will be available both in digital and printed form.
It’s been a little while since we had an update but have no fear the wheels are still turning behind the scenes here at Unseen Shadows. To prove it here is a first look at page 5 from the Napoleon Stone/Nathan Ash comic Ashfall by Dan Thompson, Paul Mclaren Paul Williams and Darren Brown…enjoy!
So this week coming I will be brining the Unseen Shadows train to the Nine Worlds Convention in London. In case you are wondering what is Nine worlds here’s comes the explanation bit.
Nine Worlds will take place in London, UK, 8-10 August 2014. It’s about gaming, film, cosplay, fandom, literature, science, geek culture, meeting people and having a really big party.
In total we’ll have over 25 tracks presenting content in 2014, delivering more than 350 sessions over the three convention days. Enough to satisfy even the geekiest of geeks. Mix that all up with parties, comedians, book launches, discos, swordplay masterclasses, the UK’s top Queen tribute band, costume parades, sci-fi sing-a-longs, and bit of quality beer, and that’s what a geekfest is.
OK with the explanation out of the way I can say that I will be there with some copies of Fallen Heroes, Tales of the Forgotten but also some of the remaining copies of the Unseen Shadows Year One DVD which is digital collection of all the Unseen Shadows products (That’s the novel, the comics, the first three part so the audio drama and more).
I will also be taking part in the following panels and hopefully finding something useful to say in each one!
