Ruptura Comics acquires Opus Comics’ Stock and launches a “We’ve Got You” campaign

Ruptura Comics

Ruptura Comics has acquired the remaining stock of Opus Comics. The publisher has inherited more than just the inventory, they’ve also inherited the frustrations and unresolved issues of many loyal readers.

Opus Comics launched in 2022 from Incendium, a “creative service business for the music industry.” The publisher inked a deal with the Frank Frazetta estate as well as bands like Disturbed, and released comics based on other properties like Bill and Ted. The publisher quickly fizzled with the last news in June 2023. The publisher left many hanging with outstanding orders and purchases.

Ruptura is attempting to make up for that with the “We’ve Got You” campaign. It’s a commitment to support and assist anyone affected by Opus Comics. Right now, they’re focusing on readers with pending orders for Cradle of Filth: Maledictus Athenaeum. They’re encouraging anyone with anything outstanding to contact Ruptura at customerservice@rupturacomics.com so they can resolve their cases and provide the service they deserve.

The campaign isn’t just about fulfilling orders—it’s an attempt to restore faith in an industry that the publisher feels should celebrate creativity, not leave readers in doubt. Ruptura in the announcement stated that they are “striving to create a real community rooted in transparency, integrity, and support.”

Ruptura recently teamed with Magma Comix to release Hell’s Half Acre and Rome Eternal. Ruptura was founded in the 1990s. amid the burgeoning scene of the so-called “new Mexican comic.” Over time, it has stepped in and out of the spotlight, changing its form and finding different ways to collaborate with other publishing houses.

In the acquisition from Opus Comics, they purchased a significant portion of the publisher’s physical stock through a closeout sale. This included comics, merchandise, and the license for Cradle of Filth: Maledictus Athenaeum. While they won’t be able to address and resolve all issues from Opus, they’re also working to engage the former licensors and explore solutions for the community.

Ruptura is going beyond fulfilling the outstanding Cradle of Filth: Maledictus, they have also announced a new project, Funeral in Carpathia which is on pre-sale now.

In the future, Ruptura is looking to revive other titles from Opus/Incendium, offer limited-edition merchandise, as well as more original stories.
