And drum roll… we now have a title for the very first full length Unseen Shadows Graphic novel which has been in development for a little while now. The story will centre on everyone’s fave vigilante from Fallen Heroes – Jonathan Bishop aka The Reverend. Written by Cy Dethan with art by Steve Penfold, colours by Gat Melvin and letters by Nic Wilkinson the story will be called The Reverend: Blood Cries Out.
Despite my dictator like behavior last year towards the Tales of the Fallen creative team last year they seem to be up for more punishment as the majority of teams will be staying on to create more stories within the Unseen Shadows in 2012/2013. First up will be a series of one shots to be released throughout 2012. The plan will be to release these titles in a digital format and then collect them all in a printed format to be published towards the end of 2012. This will hopefully coincide with ‘Forgotten Warriors’ the sequel to Fallen Heroes, which I hope will be out this year *crosses fingers* – this second anthology will be called Tales of the Forgotten.
Steve Penfold and Gat Melyvn are responsible for this and I’m sure you will agree that they have excelled with this cover for Wrath of God written by Cy Dethan. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to write the character again without seeing this image in my mind.
Great job fellas!
I am very excited to announce the news that bar the usual last minute admin bits and bobs all the four stories within the Tales of the Fallen anthology are complete. Huge, huge thanks to all the creative teams for working their guts out over the months to hit the deadline. The plan now is to prepare the anthology for proof printing and then the actual print run if all goes well. Look out soon for a special pre-order deal for the book. The individual stories will also be available via Comixology and graphicly soon.

In the meantime here’s the cover, blurb and preview for Wrath of God by Cy Dethan, Nic Wilkinson, Steve Penfold and Gat Melvyn. I will stick up another cover and preview tomorrow.
Cy Dethan (Writer), Steve Penfold (Art) Gat Melvin (Colours), Nic Wilkinson (Lettering)
The Reverend: a holy weapon forged in tragedy and flame – a murderous martyr whose cold judgement strikes with the force of a vengeful God. Despair, for the Reverend walks among you. He is the right hand of vengeance. He is Wrath.
Check out this fantastic four page preview by Cy Dethan, Nic Wilkinson, Steve Penfold and Gat Melvyn. Be warned as the preview gets a little bloody and if there are any John Woo fans in the house you’re going to love this preview.
