Rippaverse Comics recently launched a preorder campaign for Alphacore issue 1, 96-page superhero adventure featuring characters created by Eric July.

Like previous Rippaverse books, the Alphacore preorder campaign is already a great success, having raised nearly a million dollars at the time of this writing.

Written by Chuck Dixon and featuring illustrations by Joe Bennett and letters by the prolific Eric Weathers, Alphacore is a superhero adventure set in the same universe as Isom.

Here’s the official pitch taken from the Alphacore preorder page:

Though an affluent city, Florespark is not without problems. The Florespark Police are very capable of handling formidable threats. But Excepts still exist, and some of them have the worst of intentions. And that’s why they need Alphacore!

The Except team, known as Alphacore, is called in to take care of Except-related problems that the Florespark Police are too outgunned to handle. But not everyone is a fan of their superpowered heroics, and not all of them are on the opposite side of the law. So when a thwarted bank bombing launches an investigation that spins into a string of murders-by-Except, Bryan Solari, Braxwell, and Ingrid Valdez must work alongside fans and non-fans alike to uncover the mystery of who has been the puppetmaster pulling the strings behind these crimes.

How does Alphacore operate? Who is on the team beyond our three main heroes? And who will they discover is behind this recent string of felonies? Find out in the pages of Alphacore #1!

You can preorder a copy of Alphacore issue 1 for $28. If you have extra cash to spend, you can also receive the following tchotchkes and extras:
