Rocketship Entertainment and 11 Bit Studios partner for Frostpunk 1886: The Graphic Novel

Posted on by

Rocketship Entertainment and 11 Bit Studios have announced they will partner for Frostpunk 1886: The Graphic Novel.  Harvey Award-nominated writer Justin Jordan and Eisner nominated artist Ryan Benjamin will adapt Frostpunk, the critically acclaimed city building survival game.

In the summer of 1886, the snowstorms began. Crops failed, people starved. Millions fled south. They met only chaos, famine, and death. In the farthest reaches of the resource-rich north, the British Empire began construction of heat-bearing generators, where a chosen few could survive safe from the chaos of crumbling civilization. They ran out of time. An apocalyptic ice storm came from the south, devouring all in its path. People fled in panic. Some managed to cross the seas and reach the site of a generator only to find it frozen solid. The generator was designed to power a city capable of weathering the end of the world… It falls to us to build it.

Originally released in 2018, Frostpunk was a massive indie success, highly regarded for its unique blend of city-building, survival, and intense moral storytelling within a frozen, post-apocalyptic setting. In 2024, the highly anticipated sequel Frostpunk 2 garnered huge sales and even more critical acclaim, and recently, 11 Bit Studios announced that in 2027 they will release Frostpunk 1886, a ground up remake of the original game in Unreal Engine 5.The Frostpunk universe’s story begins like this:

The Kickstarter for Frostpunk 1886: the Graphic Novel launches this summer featuring exclusives and will be followed by retail distribution through Simon and Schuster and Lunar Distribution.

Gunpowder Prophets

(w) Justin Jordan (a) Patrick Piazzalunga

In this mix of seventies style exploitation, Italian horror and buddy comedy, Huck and Marley deal with supernatural problems for money. Well, they’re trying to do it for money, but Huck’s morals and Marley’s bloodlust usually end with that going….er….somewhat astray.

Huck and Marley help people for money. Well, in theory anyway… For some reason, their “help” always seems to involve massive amounts of property damage, a somehow guaranteed collision with the supernatural and, if Marley has his way, a huge body count. They’re the Gunpowder Prophets, and a simple job rescuing a girl from a backwoods cult turns weird when the super groovy leader’s supernatural powers turn out to be very, very real. It’s seventies style horror mixed with grindhouse action in Gunpowder Prophets. Gonzo over the top action horror from Justin Jordan (The Strange Talent of Luther Strode), Patrick Piazzalunga (Monsters are my Business), Roman Stevens, and Taylor Esposito.

Gunpowder Prophets #4

(W) Justin Jordan (A) Patrick Piazzalunga (C) Roman Stevens (L) Taylor Esposito

Welp, Ol’ Huck and Marley have been released from jail and rekilled the zombie bikers, but they’ve lost their actual target. Fortunately, they know just where to get her back: at Straker’s auction of the odd, awesome, and unspeakable. You know, if it doesn’t kill them…

Gunpowder Prophets #3

(W) Justin Jordan (A) Patrick Piazzalunga (C) Roman Stevens (L) Taylor Esposito

Huck and Marley killed the bikers and rescued America (the kid, not the country)… only to run right into the long arm of the law. That’s a problem. But not as big a problem as the bikers coming back from the dead. And boy, are they mad.

Gunpowder Prophets #2

(W) Justin Jordan (A) Patrick Piazzalunga (C) Roman Stevens (L) Taylor Esposito

Welp, Huck and Marley have successfully rescued America (the kid, not the country) and killed her father, although that last part didn’t take. They’d be home free if it weren’t for the little fact of the notoriously sadistic Heaven’s Devils biker gang being right on their tail.
