In Search Of Money ?

On Monday, Rippaverse Comics launched a preorder campaign for Isom issue 2, the next installment of the Ill-Advised story arc.

Following the record-breaking yet curiously underreported success of Isom issue 1 (which grossed $3.7 million), this second issue is already well on its way to replicating that success, having raised more than $800 thousand at the time of this writing.

Written by Eric July and featuring illustrations by Cliff Richards, colors by Gabe Eltaeb, and lettering by the prolific Eric Weathers, Isom is the cornerstone series in the larger superhero world of the Rippaverse, which will soon include Yaira and Alphacore.

Here’s the official pitch taken from the Rippaverse website:

The story so far…

Avery Silman is thrown into a world he thought was behind him when he hung up his suit and must decide if wearing the mantel again is the best course of action.

In Issue One, Avery’s sister—Altona—calls Avery to have him investigate the disappearance of a young woman who was last seen with former friend Darren Fontaino. But Darren had changed since he was hanging out with Avery when they were young. Instead of the friend he knew, Darren has become a cold-blooded shot-caller and one of the most feared men in the city.

The visit turns into one of the longest days in Avery’s life. Around these parts, people call ‘special beings’ Excepts. And unfortunately for Avery, he has the luxury of running into some of them. The Alphacore and Yaira have their own set of conflicts, while the living tank known as Santwan reappeared to add more difficulty to Avery’s life.

What are the consequences of Avery’s choices in Part 1? Who will come to his aid? Grab Isom #2: Ill-Advised Pt. 2 and find out for yourself!

Let’s be great.
