From the creators of White Ash and Glarien, comes THE GAME…
Now live on Kickstarter, The Game issues #1-3 from the creators of White Ash, writer Charlie Stickney with art and letters by Conor Hughes; colors by Tríona Farrell. This sexy noir, sci-fi thriller evokes elements of the original Quantum Leap combined with The Highlander, but in this all-new series it’s go big or go home if you even stand a chance to win.
Eli, who is down on his luck, is told on his 30th birthday that he’s Player Number 3 in a game that’s been going for over a thousand years. And that he needs to figure out the rules pretty quick if he wants to survive.
“I’ll admit, I got greedy,” said Charlie Stickney. “After having the privilege of building the world of White Ash with Conor Hughes, when approaching The Game , an equally expansive universe, I thought why not run this team back – see what else we can do. Thankfully Conor said yes, and along with Tríona Farrell, we’re building something special. If you like our spin on the fantasy tropes, you’re going to love what we do with sci-fi.”
“I’m ecstatic to be back working on The Game!” said Conor Hughes. “From first blush The Game felt tailor made for the kind of story I’d have a blast telling and the kind of characters I’d have fun inhabiting. Any young adult especially can relate to the escalating pressures Eli faces as he’s thrown into a gauntlet wherein he doesn’t even know what he doesn’t know. His position on the game board seems both precarious and unclear and that’s what makes this story so exciting to tell. Happily he does seem to have allies, though their position on the board is also a matter of some question…”
Half the fun of The Game is finding out the next big reveal! The 48-page oversized second issue contains chapters two and three. Variant covers by Eric Nguyễn, Steph C. and Ivan Tao.
To honor the new White Ash Comics Imprint, Charlie Stickney and Conor Hughes will be branding all titles on Kickstarter going forward.
