A million dollars? “Yabai!”

Eh, it’s only a couple of letters off.

In any case, earlier this week, Rippaverse Comics launched a preorder campaign for Yaira issue 1, 90-page superhero adventure featuring characters created by Eric July. Like previous Rippaverse books, the Yaira preorder campaign is already a runaway success, having raised over a million dollars quicker than any Rippaverse project to date and more than $1.1 million at the time of this writing.

Written by the twin sister writing team of Jen & Sylvia Soska (Black Widow) and featuring illustrations by Débora Caritá (Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris) and letters by the prolific Eric Weathers, Yaira is a superhero adventure set in the same universe as the Rippaverse’s Isom and Alphacore.

Here’s the official pitch taken from the Yaira preorder page followed by a live-action trailer:

Whom, or what, is Yaira?

To the citizens of Florespark, the Alphacore who protect them from Except-related threats, Yaira is nothing less than a powerful force of nature unlike anything else they’ve ever encountered . . .

In the recent aftermath of a brutal battle that ended in stalemate, Alphacore commander Bryan Solari told Yaira to vacate Florespark, and warned her to never return. But Yaira plays by no rules but her own, and now she’s back. What does this frosty force want in sunny Florespark, and what motivated her return? Yaira’s origins go back farther than anyone can possibly imagine or believe – and sometimes, the cost of a primeval past is the haunting of one’s present.

When you wield such immeasurable power, your choices can have drastic and long-lasting consequences. What happens when Yaira’s past catches up with her, and those in her orbit are unwittingly forced to pay the price for her actions? Read Yaira #1 by Jen & Sylvia Soska to find the answers to these and other questions about the mysterious Yaira!

You can preorder a copy of Yaira issue 1 starting at $25. If you have extra cash to spend, you can also receive the following tchotchkes and extras:

• Multiple copies of the book
• Variant covers
