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.

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 Chimera Factor: The first act is all inked

Page 33 is a great point to have an update on The Chimera Factor. This stunning page (which is pretty epic) from Plwoods signifies the end of the first act of this story.

What better way to end a first act than with a potential fight about to kick off between our two Heroines.

Looks like Steph and Victoria are having a little disagreement

The creative team are working flat out to get this ready for launch at this year’s Thought Bubble so please keep your fingers and toes crossed!

Free Digital Copies of Operation Solomon and Historia to Celebrate International Women’s Day

08/03/201708/03/2017 / Barry Nugent / Leave a comment

Seeing as today is International Women’s Day I thought I would celebrate that fact by giving away the two stories which feature the first two ladies of Unseen Shadows, Stephanie Connisbee and ex navy pilot and Kathryn Monroe, a special investigator for the United Nations.

So for one day only I have dropped the price to a big fat zero for the digital comics Operation Solomon which stars Steph and Historia which stars Kathryn. You can pick up these for free from the the links below.

I’m also dedicating this post to my mum Icilda Nugent who was the greatest woman I ever knew and whose strength, courage and compassion can be seenin both Steph and Kathryn. It was mum who pushed me to write my first stories and taught me to never stop dreaming, never stop reaching for what I wanted. I think wherever she is now she would have liked Steph and Kathryn…hmm maybe not Steph I think she swears a little too much for mum!

Anyway Happy International Women’s Day and I hope you enjoy the stories!
