Kickstarter Highlight: Brawler #2
Time Bomb Comics have headed back to Kickstarter for issue 2 of their brilliant anthology Brawler, and it’s looking like it'll be just as enjoyable as the first!.
Brawler #1 was published after a successful pre-order campaign on Kickstarter last year, a title taking inspiration from the 1980’s anthology Warrior, featuring a mix of new and established characters from some truly talented writers and artists.
With Brawler’s sensational second issue #2 the plan is to do that once again, offering a 56-page, perfect bound, full-colour anthology of strange tales and amazing stories.
Here;s what;s on offer…
WOLFHEART - Mercenary Karn Wolfheart struggles to survive in the brutal years that followed the collapse of the once-mighty Roman Empire. By Ferg Handley, James Devin & Bolt-01.
MAJOR RAKHANA - The steampunk space-ace that calls the shots, Major Rakhana is our Glorious Empire's staunch defender against the wicked alien hordes in our outermost colonies. By Steve Tanner, Pete Woods & Bolt-01.
THE KILLING STROKE - Feudal Japan, a lone Samurai, and actions that speak louder than words. By Gary Crutchley & Matt Soffe.
SPACE BANSHEE EXORCIST -Fanshaw is a banshee who’s moved into space and become an exorcist. Undead in the space age, she makes a ‘living’ travelling between moon colonies and star stations, helping hapless humans rid themselves of the spectres and ghouls they've brought with them from earth. By Katie Cunningham, Danielle Wiebe & Bolt-01.
KARL KAMPE, MONSTER HUNTER - The hit Swedish adventure comics character makes his British comics debut! By Jorgen Karlsson, Hakan Aydin & Ichsan Ansori.
AMNESIA AGENTS - There is a physical place where your memories go. You forget a person, a place or even your keys, they end up in Echo. Sometimes, evil forces led by the Forget Foxes steal memories and hide them, and it's the job of the Amnesia Agents to get them back. By Jason Cobley and James Gray.
HELGA FRANKENSTEIN - Amongst the high mountains at the heart of Europe lies a haven for ungodly creatures of every shape and kind, including a woman made from the dead remains of others: The daughter of infamous Victor Frankenstein! By John Short, Gabrielle Noble & Bolt-01.
KEIKO PANDA - Turn left and the world is different. Humans live and fight alongside and against Mammalians and Arboreans, intelligent animals and vegetables! Samurai Commander Keiko Panda of Nippon investigates strange events and crimes in the mountains and mists of the east. By Jason Cobley, Andrew Richmond & Bolt-01.
As you can see, Brawler #2 features a diverse range of ideas with truly eclectic characters from some top-drawer talent. There's no "lead" story in Brawler - we think each one could hold their own against the next - and that's one of Brawler's key strengths. There's no filler here, just cover to cover strange tales and amazing stories, with one or two surprises along the way that you'll discover when you enjoy the book!
