Rocketship Entertainment will be publishing TurtleMe’s The Beginning After the End novels
Rocketship Entertainment has announced that it will be publishing the novels behind the award-winning webcomic and anime phenomenon The Beginning After the End by author Brandon Lee, aka TurtleMe. The first three volumes will launch in a Kickstarter campaign on August 5th featuring softcover editions and deluxe hardcover illustrated editions along with exclusive merch. Those volumes will release in retail in 2026, followed by campaigns for the final nine volumes.
The Beginning After the End follows the story of King Grey, who once benefited from unrivaled strength, wealth, and prestige in a world governed by martial ability, but now finds himself reborn in a society dominated by magic. Given a second chance at life, the once-king strives to understand his role in this new world and the purpose of his reincarnation while correcting the mistakes of his past.
Backers of the campaign can bring home the first three volumes of the series in hardcover or softcover editions. The hardcover is a deluxe illustrated edition that will contain ten full color original illustrations for each volume with covers that depict imagery and scenes from their respective volumes in debossed fourteen karat gold and mother of pearl on a die-cut barn door. Deluxe hardcovers will be clad in a leather-bound slipcase with a wraparound gate that is secured by a zinc alloy sword fitted into the sheath of the door. The campaign will also include a blind box collector’s enamel pin set and a gift box set featuring acrylic standees, a replica of the sword Dawn’s Ballad, and the maps of Alacrya and Dicathen.
