For those of you who are relatively new this video of Issue 9 Diva is the latest YouTube video by John Paul Guerra, who has been putting up a number of comic and bonus issues on the channel so you can watch the action unfold.
The team working on this are Kirsty Swan and Gabri (artwork) and Ian Austin (script and story). The plot is about Sal dealing with day to day life as an independent music producer dealing with a celebrity in search of street cred (and at this point I must remind people that any resemblance to current singers in search of street cred is totally coincidental. Also as far as I know none of them have robot entourages).
Meanwhile AK Girl and Hyper Rob are fighting off some robot eels before a mysterious stranger appears who is clearly infatuated with Sal (incidentally we cover what happened to him and other plots with something I’ll be bringing out soon).
Now at this point some may bring up the lettering on this- truth be told this is one reason why we are rebooting the comic and focusing on doing one or two 40 page issues as opposed to 22 page issues throughout the year as we kept getting delayed and at there does come a point where you go “This has to get out there”.
That being said I do think the guys involved did a great job and Ian created a great character in El Paso Grande.
If you would like to support Reynard City there are various methods you can do so including our ad packages (including our relaunch at Norcon), Patreon and Paypal, as well as some awesome goodies in our shop. We are doing all we can to make this reboot as good as possible but equally we want to support everyone that has worked so hard on this project and they deserve respect for the amount of effort they put in.
Incidentally I do think Di Caprio looks like how I imagine Gatsby to look.
Oh and thanks to everyone who has entered our variant art cover contest, will be posting up a request blog later in the week as I have some that I would personally love to see (we have an independent judge looking over them so can’t guarantee that’ll win a prize but would be super appreciated!)
