Want some aggressive fantasy? And I don’t imply aggressive like, “Grunt and puff, I’m so aggressive” (though the story has a few of that too). But I imply, it’s aggressively within the fantasy realm: orcs, dwarves, dungeons, and limitless wars between races and lessons which are straight out of LotR. Well then, that is the Kickstarter crowdfunding marketing campaign for you. Me? Well, I simply suppose these elves know the best way to get together, and that’s all the rationale I have to advocate some Magic Powder-sized enjoyable.

From the far-flung future! This is Sonic Saturn! A Tale from the 12 months 5005, Sonic Saturn is a fast-paced, action-packed sci-fi comedian!
I’m a sucker for the labor-intensive of creating new paper seem like previous paper, and new comics seem like previous comics. The story for Sonic Saturn #1 focuses on Johnny Estrella, a personality who depends on his ability and wit to get out of sticky area conditions, drawn in a mode that the Space Comics listed artist calls “Pulp Americana.” This throwback artwork model was developed by Carranza “with the intention of recreating golden age comic book covers down to the smallest detail,” one thing that he described to Voyage LA as “an ongoing learning process where I attempt to master the aging factors of old paper, the coloring methods of comic printing.”
