If you’re unfamiliar, right here’s a quick description of what to count on: “the high school super-heroic drama of INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE with the dynamic storytelling and world-building of Japanese tokusatsu superheroes, and the intrigue and relationship drama of British boarding school fiction.” It’s a profitable mixture.

This consists of colorist Igor Monti, letterer Becca Carey, editor Kyle Higgins, and design company FOR THE PEOPLE.

The superb response of the Kickstarter and comic-reading neighborhood confirmed what we already believed: this can be a story value telling, and a world that’s value diving into.
