The hottest tokusatsu-inspired hero is one step closer to reality thanks to a successful Day One Kickstarter campaign.  Inferno Girl Red – a graphic novel written by Mat Groom and drawn by Erica D’Urso with colors by Igor Monti – is well over the 50% threshold on day one and will very likely see a successful campaign.

We’re thrilled to share with you a five page preview of the upcoming graphic novel.

The story is as follows:

We all need something to believe in.  Especially Cássia Costa.

An ancient cult and their army of demons have stolen Cássia’s home, Apex City.  When a magical dragon bracelet rockets into her life and affixes itself to her arm, Cássia’s the only person equipped to stop the cult from offering the entire city to their dark lord.

There’s just one catch…

The magical bracelet is powered by belief, and Cássia — an intensely pragmatic, rational girl – doesn’t have much to spare. She’ll have to find something to kindle her faith, though, and fast —because she has a secret legacy to live up to. Because her mother’s life is on the line. And because Apex City needs Inferno Girl Red.

There’s still time for you to back this Kickstarter and land some awesome pledge rewards.  Click here to check out and support the Kickstarter.
