A Thing Called Truth Vol: 2 - Drive Home Heads to Kickstarter

Magdalene and Dorian are back. But this time they're heading to Kickstarter...

lolanda Zanfardino and Elisa Romboli's queer rom-com roadtrip is coming back for a second outing. Heading to Kickstarter on January 30th, A Thing Called Truth Vol. 2: Drive Home will see the next chapter in Magdalene and Dorian's story. However, this time it's a comple graphic novel!

'What happened with the medical advancement Dr. Magdalene "Mag" Träumer was working on before it was stripped away from her by her unscrupulous former employer? Will her estranged husband's search for her lead to complications with the law? Will Dorian Wildfang's Quixote-like quest to fulfill her brother's posthumous wishes come to pass?

BECAUSE QUEER STORIES DESERVE GOOD ENDINGS.'

As normal with crowdfunding, the campaigns success relies on people pledging to see the project come to life. And to help temp you to part with your money, Zanfardino and Romboli have some very tempting backer rewards on offer. Backers will have an opportunity to fund the campaign by pledging towards both PDF and physical copies of Volume two as well as items such as door knockers, art prints, signed original book art, and even a cameo in the book. The campaign also includes the opportunity to add copies of Volume one to the pledge for those who need to catch up. Specially priced retailer tiers will be available for comic and book shops to be able to carry this book in person.

“A Thing Called Truth is a soul searching story about finding the balance between devoting yourself fully to a goal and being able to enjoy life with no regrets. About the dream of leaving your mark on the world. About the reasons for yearning to go far away—and those that will take you back home," said Zanfardino and Romboli. “It's about how you can't keep running forever, but facing the world gets easier when you find out you're not alone anymore.”

Crafting the Apocalypse with Kek-W

Rob takes a trip to Deadworld with 2000 AD writer Kek-W… ‘ The Fall of Deadworld: Redemption ’ made its return to the 2000 AD Prog this week. While the battle for Sector 13 and the wider city rumbles on, I spoke to curator of chaos, Kek-W about Deadworld past, and more importantly, its future. Looking back, what first attracted you to writing what’s essentially the Dark Judges origin story? KW - Well, the first four DREAMS OF DEADWORLD stories that Dave and I did were well received, so rather than just doing more of the same - stories that showcased the individual Dark Judges - I pitched the idea of telling the back-story of how the four of them destroyed an entire world. How did that happen, how might it work? I figured it was a landscape ripe with dramatic story-telling potential. 'Ripe' being the operative word! (laughs) I also thought it might be interesting to focus in on a ordinary family, to see and experience the collapse of civilization from their point of view and

As a Genetic Infantry, Rogue is bred to survive the harsh war-torn environment of NU-Earth.

The Norts call it Zvartchvinte

Comic Book Review - The Best of 2000 AD Vol. 3

Rob reviews The Best of 2000 AD Vol.3… The ‘Ultimate Mix-Tape’ of 2000 AD’s greatest hits is back for its third volume. Packed with an array of specially curated strips, The Best of 2000 AD series does its very best in introducing you to the world of Tharg, and his Thrillverse. Much like its predecessors, this volume offers up an enticing mixture of strips and feature that draw across all corners of the wider 2000 AD mythos. While we do get a couple of standard trips to Mega-City 1 with Judge Dredd, series Editor Owen Johnson shows us the anthologies more “Tales of the Unexplained” side as things get a little bizarre. Personally, this third volume has been my favourite out of the series so far. Not only does it feature a Judge Dredd written by Michael Carroll, we also have the debut of Ian Edginton and D’Israeli. While you’d think that Johnson would of opted to include the duo’s phenomenal Scarlet Traces, he’s instead swapped the Earth/Mars war for the Atlantic Ocean, as we get a mu
