Posted on by Leave a comment

AHOY Comics has made its reputation on witty satires, acclaimed creators, and a commitment to bold and risk-taking storytelling. Now the funnybook publisher behind The Toxic Avenger, Second Coming, Justice Warriors, The Wrong Earth and more is launching its debut Kickstarter for The Forgotten Divine, a satirical science fiction drama from writer Mark Russell and artist Russ Braun. The Forgotten Divine is the first of AHOY’s new AHOY Select line, their pop-up imprint for direct to consumer releases. You can makes sure to get your copy now!

Meet Rodney Coleman, an unhoused veteran whose sleep is haunted by dreams of a faraway planet. (At least, he thinks they’re dreams.) Soon Coleman connects with others plagued by dreams of the same world and finds himself at the head of a UFO cult. The group’s shared effort to understand their visions is heartfelt at first—but over time it descends into unreality, conspiracy, paranoia, violence, and conceivably… revelation. 

The campaign includes a slew of unique tiers and exclusive extras that only the “Expect More-igans” at AHOY could dream up, including a paperback edition signed by writer Mark Russell; exclusive hardcover editions featuring variant covers by Russ Braun, Matt Bors, and Mark Russell; enamel pins featuring AHOY fan-favorite characters; prints; bathrobes; hour-long Zoom calls with Mark Russell, Russ Braun, and Editor-in-Chief Tom Peyer; and (most crucially) a virtual lock of Tom Peyer’s hair. More extras and add-ons will be announced during the campaign.

We have an exclusive look at the enamel pins you can get with your copy of The Forgotten Divine. Don’t miss out pins featuring the Ahoy logo, “Forgotten Divine Astronaut Ghost,” “Forgotten Divine Crackpot,” Dragonflyman, Edgar Allan Poe, and Marquis de Cocoa Cereal.

Check out the pins below and get yours along with a copy of The Forgotten Divine today!

Dog Tag #1 takes us to war in a rather serious and straightforward debut issue

Posted on by

Dog Tag is a fictional story about a very real war. It follows the life and thoughts of Corporal Tom Fuller through the final year of World War II as his service takes him from the invasion of Normandy to the surrender of Japan. Borrowed from real world stories and little known events of the war, Dog Tag asks big questions about the war while focusing on the heroism of the ordinary people who lived and died during the conflict.

Racer X #6

(w) Mark Russell (a) Nuno Plati

An outlaw race in the desert pits Racer X against the deadliest engine ever built, and the mob that wants it unleashed on the X Circuit. As the GRX makes its bloody debut at Death’s Bend, Racer X counters with a revolutionary new machine designed not just to win, but to survive. Betrayal, industrial espionage, and lethal ambition collide in a race where momentum kills, survival is victory, and some wins cost more than anyone can afford.

Exclusive: Dive into Mark Russell and Russ Braun’s The Forgotten Divine with Character Blurbs

Posted on by

AHOY Comics has made its reputation on witty satires, acclaimed creators, and a commitment to bold and risk-taking storytelling. Now the publisher is launching its debut Kickstarter for The Forgotten Divine, a satirical science fiction drama from writer Mark Russell and artist Russ Braun. The inaugural campaign from the publisher that asks its readers to Expect More will offer exclusive campaign-only covers, unique AHOY goodies, and more tantalizing perks yet to be announced. Sign up here to be notified when the campaign goes live.

Meet Rodney Coleman, an unhoused veteran whose sleep is haunted by dreams of a faraway planet. (At least, he thinks they’re dreams.) Soon Coleman connects with others plagued by dreams of the same world and finds himself at the head of a UFO cult. The group’s shared effort to understand their visions is heartfelt at first—but over time it descends into unreality, conspiracy, paranoia, violence, and conceivably… revelation. 

We have an exclusive look at the characters with blurbs from Russell and art by Braun. Check it out below and sign up now so you don’t miss out when this launches!

Rodney: A homeless veteran whose visions of an alien world start a global movement that would become known as The Forgotten Divine. An explosives expert in Afghanistan, he returns home to a country that now considers him a liability. But his visions give him a sense of purpose he never had on the battlefield.

Doc: Rodney’s mental health therapist. A better friend than therapist, Doc is divorced and lives alone in a house with no pets and only one fork. The only inhabited house in a deserted cul-de-sac, he goes from trying to talk Rodney down from his visions to being a dedicated believer in The Forgotten Divine.

Willemina: Willemina was working at a museum of the weird when she became an oddity herself. Having strange visions, she had no idea what to make of them until she saw a poster for a support group looking for people who were having dreams at once too real and too alien to just be dreams. 

Toby: A ten year-old girl who has the strongest and most detailed visions of anyone in The Forgotten Divine. She comes to be seen as a prophet by those who share her affliction/calling.

Agent Reeve: An FBI agent and psychologist, she is willing to do whatever it takes to infiltrate The Forgotten Divine and prevent what she fears will be another Jonestown or Waco. TA dedication which puts her on a collision course with the very people she’s trying to save.

Racer X hits the Tiger Syndicate hard… but Dante Ferno hunts harder. As X is herded into a deadly construction-site trap, Ferno unveils his chilling creed inside a taxidermy “Hall of Champions”: only predators survive.
