White Ash Comics is joining forces with IDW Publishing to expand its exciting universe. 

Praised as Supernatural meets Saga, the White Ash Universe takes place in the struggling coal-mining town of White Ash, Pennsylvania, blending epic fantasy worldbuilding with compelling romance. Now remastered and featuring new bonus stories, the White Ash universe will be released in its originally intended format for the first time ever through the new White Ash Comics imprint at IDW.

White Ash #1 launches in April as an ongoing series, followed by The Game #1 in June. Next September, White Ash Comics will begin a consistent release of limited series that further flesh out the backstory of the flagship series, beginning with Glarien: Short and Deadly, starring the world’s most dangerous elf.

Charlie Stickney’s long-time partner on White Ash, Conor Hughes, will join him as Chief Creative Officer. Rounding out the team, Nicole D’Andria will lead editorial for the imprint, Tango will head up design, and Travis Escarfullery will be in charge of production. 

With support from IDW, White Ash Comics is making its transition from focusing primarily on Kickstarter to a direct-market focused publisher. An ashcan is being planned for ComicsPRO next February, while other retailer-facing promotions are in development, along with an impressive cover program and ambitious collections rollout strategy, with more details to come.
