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.
If anyone is interested in review pdfs of any of the titles please email me at barry@unseenshadows.com
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.
The Reverend welcomes you to the first page of 'Wrath of God'
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.
So whenever anyone finishes Fallen Heroes I always ask who was your favorite character and although the results vary one name gets mentioned again and again Jonathan Bishop aka ‘The Reverend’.
When Cy Dethan and I chatted about writing a comic script for the Reverend and giving people a little more background on the character I couldn’t wait for him, Gat Melvin (colours), Steve Penfold (art) and Nic Wilkinson (letters to get started. The script Cy has come up with is brilliant and captures the dark and bloody tones of Reverend’s relentless and very personal one man crusade. The comic will also give the reader a deeper look at the Reverend’s past as well as answering the question of how he obtained some of his skills you see described in Fallen Heroes.
Like all the comics in the ‘Tales of the Fallen’ anthology Wrath of God is %100 canon in the Unseen Shadows universe. This is the Reverend’s past approved by me rather than a nice spin off that has nothing to do with the book. So for the readers who enjoyed Fallen Heroes this comic will give you a little more insight into the character and his world before Fallen Heroes. If you’ve not read the book that doesn’t matter as again like all the Unseen Shadows project they are perfectly readable without reading the novel but you will gain a richer experience if you have.
The comic will be released digitally in November and will also form part of the ‘Tales of the Fallen’ anthology being launched at the Thought Bubble Festival in November.
