B7 Media Launches First Comic on Kickstarter - Pilgrim: Secrets and Lies

B7 Media has just launched the Kickstarter for its SF thriller mini-series, Pilgrim: Secrets and Lies, the first book project in its B7 Comics line.

Currently funding on Kickstarter right now, the comic is written by award-winning editor and writer John Freeman (Doctor Who & DownTheTubes), with art by New York Times bestselling artist Neil Edwards (Spider-Man, Superman), coloured by Martin Baines (Thunderbirds) and lettered by Jim Campbell (2000AD).

B7 Media are launching the new imprint with this four-issue SF mini-series and is using Kickstarter to raise funds for the completion of the mini-series.

Pilgrim: Secrets and Lies is based on the universe created by Bev Doyle, Richard Kurti and Andrew Mark Sewell. The story digs deep into the millennia-old strata of our planet and unearths something completely unknown. Dormant since long before the dinosaurs, it's incomprehensible, ancient – and alien.

With the world transformed by environmental disaster, tensions rising between the Western Alliance and the Eastern Coalition and space colonisation beyond our solar system now within easy reach, the discovery lying beneath the Antarctic ice promises to be a threat we have never faced before.

Some will go to extreme lengths to expose the deadly enigma's secrets. And others will go even further to protect them….

The Pilgrim comic project kicked off last year with a special teaser story exclusively published in SHIFT Magazine, drawn by Wam Nick, and now available to read on the Pilgrim2121.com website.

The first 36-page issue, featuring 22 pages of comic strip, is printer-ready, and the second issue is scripted, with art underway. The overall pledge amount goes a long way with funding covering four issues.

After issue one, the series will be published quarterly starting from February 2023.

Series covers will be by Alex Ronald, with variant covers on #1 by Alex and Neil Edwards.

The Kickstarter features #1 variant limited edition cover options, posters, and a limited-edition bronzed figure of the series lead, Lily Winters, a young woman thrust into a world where little is at it seems - and danger lurks on Earth, in space… and, possibly, in her very mind!
