Thanks so much for the shout out Simon!

THE WILDER #1 The dimension-hopping genre-bending epic fantasy/cyberpunk comic series you have been waiting for. For fans of Metal Hurlant and Saga.

I just backed THE WILDER #1 from @rgstudios.bsky.social on Kickstarter. The art looks incredible and I'd love to read this, so go and back it!

The Beach Street Hoodlums cause J.J. and Scrub all kinds of stress. It doesn't help that JJ is sporting the T-Jump 2080 Magneto Repulser boots, the envy of all of Toy-Town and grapple gangs in the En-bee. But they sure do help with a quick getaway. boing boing.

The Wilder is Live on Kickstarter.

READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING.

It feels like our opinion on our favourite @axel_med page in THE WILDER changes daily. But this one keps coming up. I love the flow of it. I love the Deli-pickle-meets-burger-sauce colouring. And I love @robjoneswrites lettering.

We are heading to our FIRST THOUGHT BUBBLE!!

If you are heading to the convention come say hi at RESHIRT HALL C24.

Dickie Bevan of BURGER fame who will be with us and we will also be running a raffle of one of Axel Medellin's original signed inks from the WILDER!

7 DAYS TILL THE WILDER LAUNCHES ON KICKSTARTER!
That's right! Your chance to get your hands on this genre mashup adventure is coming very soon! Link is in the Bio! We can't wait to share this labour of love with you!

Who is this voice emerging out of the corrupted liminal space? What does it want? Why is it doing this? And when is it going to shut the F*** up?!

THE WILDER is framed by a conversation between predator and prey. Godling and mortal. Problem is the mortal is going through a teen-angst phase.

More pages for your eyeballs. Mor and Earth. Two very different worlds, art styles and genres mashed together in un-holy matrimony. 2 worlds 1fate.

JJ and Scrub are going to work hard now if they are going to be able to pay tribute to the Beach Street Hoodlums... 🤓

We couldn't be more excited to announce that THE WILDER 1 is finished! It's in the can. It is ready for launch!! Rob Jones @robjoneswrites has absolutely smashed the lettering and we can't wait to finally share this with you!
