Boys and Girls: Lend an ear. There's a new, independent comic book studio, Riotgear Graphic Novels, that's interested in putting out stories filled with the message of hope that comes from Christ.
Our first book is coming out this January. The pencils are almost done, and we've got the finances lined up to print. What we need to know is: does anyone care? Are there enough fans serious about both faith and manga to make this work? Because we'd like to see it blow up in a big way. We'd like to bring to the comic book scene what U2 and P.O.D. have brought to the music world: art that stands on it's own alongside the world's, with a heartbeat that points it's audience to Christ.
This could be nothing... just a book that get's published once, then everything folds because no one was into it. Or it could be the beginning of something huge. And I really believe that which way it goes is up to you people.
