ORIGINAL STORY:
Former Comics Nexus editors and contributors Daron Kappauff and Chris Delloiacono follow-up their Horizon’s End comic book project with Eternal Autumn! They’ve launched a Kickstarter to raise funds for a 22-page Eternal Autumn #1 that would kick-off a 5 issue mini-series.
The official Kickstarter for Eternal Autumn #1 is here which has a bunch of character bios and art. Plus, the official Facebook page for the collaborators is here.
So, what is Eternal Autumn? Here is how Daron Kappauff and Chris Delloiacono describe it:
- Eternal Autumn is the story of a post-human world, where the human race has been hunted to near extinction by the creatures that haunt our dreams and nightmares. Near the turn of the 21st century, tensions between the Werewolf Nation and the Vampire Kingdom exploded, and the centuries long feud became an all out war. For years this war was carried out in secret, but when the Vampire Kingdom unleashed a zombie horde on the unsuspecting werewolves, the war spilled into man’s world. Mankind, unfortunately, was unprepared and subsequently wiped out.
Our story picks up decades later. The Werewolf Nation and Vampire Kingdom have splintered into various factions that are constantly at war, both internally and externally, as they vie for power, territory, and control of the earth’s last natural resource: humans. The story follows a group of survivors making their way across the barren wasteland of the former United States, as they look for other survivors and a fabled human city that has not only survived but flourished.
The interior art for the series will be done by Iwan Nazif, who has worked for Dark Horse Comics in the past and on the comic book adaption of How to Train Your Dragon 2 in Malaysia. In addition, veteran creator Phil Hester will be providing the pencils and inks for the Eternal Autumn #1 cover, colorist Ross A. Campbell will color Hester’s cover, and A Larger World Studios’ Dave Lanphear will letter the book.
