Gothic Nightmares Get a Manga Mayhem Makeover in Miss Mina and The Midnight Guardians

Posted on by Leave a comment

At the dawn of the 19th century, Dracula has nearly conquered Europe and set his sights on the Americas… but the Vampire King meets his match in Miss Mina and The Midnight Guardians: The Legend of the Golden Jaguar, the newest deluxe oversized graphic novella from publisher Fun Time Go!

Created and written by comic industry luminary David Hedgecock, this latest offering in the Kickstarter-exclusive Miss Mina and The Midnight Guardians graphic novel line sees the fearless and sharp-tongued Mina Murray lead a ragtag troop of monsters in deadly contest against the Vampire King. Will they keep an ancient Amazonian power from falling into Dracula’s clutches?

Mixing manga-influenced artwork, vibrant color, a dash of steampunk, and a bite of Hammer Films horror, Miss Mina and The Midnight Guardians is now live for crowdfunding on Kickstarter.

Miss Mina and The Midnight Guardians: The Legend of the Golden Jaguar features a superstar collection of creators, both within its pages and as contributors for the coveted Kickstarter rewards. The Xong Brothers provide the gorgeous art on the lead story, while Osvaldo “Montos” Montpeller and David Garcia Cruz illustrate a back-up story. Also, bestselling author Jonathan Maberry contributes a backup prose story with spot illustrations by Omar Lozano.

mong the crowdfunding rewards, backers will find:

  • Five collectible cover options, including artwork by:
    • The Xong Brothers
    •  Ludo Lullabi
    • Chuma Hill
    • Tony Harris
  • Books, pins, collector boxes, exclusive dustjackets, and metal prints
  • Day One discounts for early backers
  • Special discounts and rare items available through Fun Time Go!’s VIP program
  • …and more!

Miss Mina and The Midnight Guardians reimagines familiar faces from classic horror and literature in a wildly alternate 19th century where the fantastic and the frightening are everyday realities. Debuting in 2024 with the subtitled The Legend Begins and continuing the following year with The Legend Continues, the series frames its larger-than-life cast with lavish art, expressive character work, and kinetic action to give the MISS MINA world a wholly distinct visual identity.

Miss Mina and The Midnight Guardians: The Legend of the Golden Jaguar is now live via Kickstarter, with the campaign ending on October 2nd, 2026!

Witchblade passes the Gauntlet around with Team-Up Variants this September

Posted on by

Image Comics and Top Cow have revealed a line-wide Witchblade Team-Up variant covers in celebration of the milestone Witchblade (2024) #25 issue’s premiere this September. Some of the biggest names in comics will put their artistic spin on Witchblade as its iconic characters make an appearance across the covers of some of Image’s most popular ongoing series.

Witchblade is a comic book series published by Top Cow Productions, which ran from November 1995 to October 2015 and December 2017 to January 2020. The series was created by Marc Silvestri, David Wohl, Brian Haberlin, and Michael Turner. The comic series was made into a TNT television series in 2001 and was directed by Ralph Hemecher and starred Yancy Butler as Sara Pezzini. Later, Top Cow and Japanese animation studio Gonzo produced an anime adaptation of Witchblade, which debuted in 2006.

Marguerite Bennett and Guiseppe Cafaro’s current run on Witchblade (2024) features a reimagined origin, with contemporary takes on familiar characters, as well as fresh story arcs to hook new fans and rekindle the energy and excitement that fueled the ’90s Image Revolution. New York City Police Detective Sara Pezzini’s life is forever fractured by her father’s murder. Cold, cunning, and hellbent on revenge, Sara now stalks a vicious criminal cabal beneath the city, where an ancient power collides and transforms her into something wild, magnificent, and beyond her darkest imaginings. How will Sara use this ancient power? …Or will she be consumed by it?

Witchblade will appear on the covers of:
