Inferno Girl Red – a brand new tokusatsu-inspired graphic novel by writer Mat Groom and artist Erica D’Urso – is fully funded on Kickstarter and is guaranteed to be in your hands in 2022. We now enter the stretch goal phase of the campaign and with that we’re on board with showing just how amazing the artwork and story are.
Check out the following character studies by Erica D’Urso.
Don’t forget to make your pledge to Inferno Girl Red on Kickstarter. The first stretch goal unlocks a bookmark for the hardcover copy at no extra charge to you.
Flying under the radar this week was an announcement from Bluefin Brands during what would have been WonderCon week on an upcoming release from Flame Toys. While there is no release date and no production sample images to show there is a basic design image of an upcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Megazord.
This model kit is roughly 7 to 8 inches tall, will fully transform and combine like in the show, and feature a range of articulation as seen in other Flame Toys model kits.
No release information is available though it will be distributed via Bluefin Brands and likely available wherever Bluefin Brands products are sold. We’ll have more details when they’re available to share.
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.
