The first chapter of Let His Death Be a Warning, the follow-up to the hit indie sci-fi fantasy graphic novel The Monuments, is now available online for free. 

Let His Death Be a Warning is a beautifully illustrated mystery/adventure story from Oliver Mertz, Michael S. Bracco, and Mike Isenberg.

The first issue/first chapter of The Monuments was released in September 2018. Volume one was released through a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign that raised $50,000. Now the story continues for free online at LetHisDeathBeAWarning.com. 

Let His Death Be a Warning is a story about grief, healing, and giant mechs.

EIGHT HUNDRED YEARS AGO
On the remote island of Mehndria, warring city-states band together to face a common enemy: giant, mysterious mechs. All hope seems lost as the mechs destroy everything in their path. 

Then inexplicably and without cause, the mechs all power down. They remain motionless for centuries, untouched, becoming monuments to a forgotten time.

ONE YEAR AGO
On the now unified island of Mehndria, one of the mechs suddenly powers up – revealing a man lost in time. The mechs begin to wake. Destruction follows.

TODAY
Still dealing with the aftermath of the great awakening, the citizens of United Mehndria must deal with their collective trauma. Disrupting this time of healing, one of the mechs goes missing.

The first chapter of Let His Death Be a Warning is available now for free.

Sci-fi fantasy graphic novel The Monuments is now live on Kickstarter, was funded in 12 hours, and has now collected over $21,000 in pledges. 

The Monuments is a 140 page, beautifully illustrated, mystery/adventure story from Oliver Mertz, Michael S. Bracco, and Mike Isenberg.

The first issue/first chapter of The Monuments was released in September 2018. This Kickstarter is to fund the printing for the complete graphic novel. 

The Monuments is about a fantasy world in which four warring city-states are forced to come together to face a common enemy: giant mysterious mechs. Right before wiping out the entire civilization, the mechs all power down for no clear reason, leaving the survivors to rebuild their world together.

800 years later. The world has moved on. The city-states are now united as one nation: a land littered with massive robotic relics that serve as monuments to a long-forgotten war.

After centuries of dormancy, one of these long-frozen mechs suddenly powers up, revealing a man who is confused, misplaced in time, and still very much alive.
