Blood Cries Out Goes to Print

15/10/201915/10/2019 / Barry Nugent / Leave a comment

Last week I hit the send button on my computer sending the final print file of Blood Cries Out off to the printer (waves at Rich). This almost brings to a close a comic that has been six years in development. Now myself and the BCO creative team are sitting and waiting for the print run to drop at my door. I say sitting, I’m busy working away on a few more goodies that will be coming with me to the Blood Cries Out launch at the Thought Bubble Comic Festival.

If you’ve been following the site you will know that we have now opened up pre-orders for Blood Cries Out . We’ve started to get some pre-orders in so if you want to secure your copy head over to this link. And remember all pre-orders will come with a free digital comic.

If you’re interested in getting yourself a copy but are not attending Thought Bubble then you can pre-order one of the twenty copies that have been set aside. They are starting to go so get in there if you want one.

Here’s a sneak peek at our pull up banner (kitchen not included).

And if you going to Thought Bubble you can find us in the Comixology Originals Hall on Table 118.

BLOOD CRIES OUT AT THOUGHT BUBBLE 2019

Blood Cries Out, from writer Cy Dethan, artist/colourist Conor Boyle and letterer Nic Wilkinson, is the latest title from the Unseen Shadows Universe.

The 100 page comic, will launch at the Thought Bubble Comic Festival (9th -10th Nov), which is being held in the Harrogate Convention Centre.

“WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?”

The Reverend is a weapon forged by fate and the cruelties of men, his life an endless crusade waged in shadow and blood. He is a one-man holy war, but he is not the first product of the machinery that created him.

When the twisted Broken Heart cult seeks to conjure and enslave a force they are ill-equipped to control, The Reverend must face a custom-built killer who knows him as only a brother can. The Reverend has finally met his equal in battle, and faith alone may no longer sustain him.

Blood Cries Out is a gritty supernatural action adventure featuring characters taken from the pages of the bestselling novels Fallen Heroes and Forgotten Warriors written by Barry Nugent.

The Reverend made his comic debut in the one shot story Wrath of God written by Cy Dethan with art by Steve Penfold, colours by Gat Melvyn and lettering by Nic Wilkinson.

Although Blood Cries Out is a standalone comic it pulls on story threads from te comics Wrath of God and The Immaculate Abortion of Dina Leigh ,also written by Cy Dethan.

The retail price for Blood Cries Out is £14.99 but if you pre-order the comic for collection at the Thought Bubble Comic Festival you can pick it up for the special price of £10.

Back from the Shadows!

Wow so it’s been almost two years since I posted anything on the Unseen Shadows site…blimey time does fly. While I’m talking landmarks I realised this year marks twenty year since I first sat down to write Fallen Heroes…been quite the ride.

What I’m hoping is this post will mark me getting back into the routine of giving out regular updates on the Unseen Shadows projects still on the go.

Current projects on the go include

The third novel – well as far as the third and final novel in what I’m now calling ‘The Fallen Heroes Trilogy’ that is a good question. At the moment a have a title, a cover and a ton of ideas. However I’ve not started as yet as I’m currently finishing off my attempt at a middle grade fiction novel. Finger crossed though I will be putting pen to paper on the third novel this year.

Blood Cries Out – and all new story starring the Reverend.

Eye of Stone – a Napoleon Stone comic,

Cademus is Lord – a comic set 70 years in the future

Napoleon Stone and the Fragments of Fate – a choose your own adventure novel.

Finally I’m working on ‘Unseen Shadows‘ which will be a collection of all the comic one shots which have been released under the Unseen Shadows label.

Stay tuned over the coming weeks for more update, sneak peeks and some special offers.

THE CHIMERA FACTOR WILL BE UNLEASHED

AT THOUGHT BUBBLE 2017

When it comes to saving the world sometimes your worst enemy is your best ally.

The Chimera Factor from writer Richmond Clements, artist PL Woods and letterer Paul Mclaren is the fourteenth title from the Unseen Shadows Universe. The graphic novel will launch at the Thought Bubble Comic Festival 2017

This globe spanning adventure features characters taken from the pages of bestselling Urban Fantasy novel Fallen Heroes and its upcoming sequel Forgotten Warriors.

Three organisations vying for control.
Two women with nothing to lose.
One relic of immeasurable power.
Winner takes all.

When a crashed World War II plane is discovered in the Antarctic a United Nations covert unit, led by Major Stephanie Connisbee, is sent to investigate.

Unbeknownst to Steph another team, headed up by ruthless adventuress, Victoria Sullivan has also been dispatched to the crash site.

Beneath the snow and ice Steph and Victoria discover a relic of mass destruction that should have stayed buried.

Now the two mismatched warriors must work together to stop a shadowy organisation from using the relic to plunge the world into chaos.

There’s just one problem; Steph and Victoria want each other dead and the relic for themselves.

Saving the world has never been messier.

Hold your breath.

Stand your ground.

The worst is yet to come.

Three years ago, on the eve of their greatest triumph, the Book of Cademus suffered their greatest defeat.

Today the leaders of this apocalyptic cult are hunted across the globe as their followers lose faith in their gods.

Reduced to striking out from the shadows in petty acts of vengeance, the cult hatches one last desperate gambit to regain all they have lost.

The Icarus Foundation, ignorant of the danger, has become locked in a political power struggle. The United Nations believes Icarus are too dangerous to be left unchecked and take drastic measures to bring them under control.

With Icarus’ focus turned elsewhere the burden falls on those scarred survivors to stand against the Book of Cademus once more. If they can…
