The first time we met Cássia Costa was in the back pages of the first issue of Radiant Black. Since then, we have seen various images and teases about an upcoming Kickstarter project. Today, that project is now live!
Inferno Girl Red is a tokusatsu and superhero inspired comic book written by Mat Groom (SELF/MADE, ULTRAMAN), drawn by Erica D’Urso (JAMES BOND, XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS, THE LIFE OF CAPTAIN MARVEL), colored by Igor Monti (MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS, MEGA MAN: FULLY CHARGED), lettered by Becca Carey (WONDER WOMAN, BATGIRL, HARLEY QUINN, RADIANT BLACK), and edited by toku-famed writer Kyle Higgins (MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS, RADIANT BLACK, NIGHTWING, THE WINTER SOLDIER, ULTRAMAN).
The story follows Cássia Costa is as follows:
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 are a number of reward tiers giving you everything from a digital copy of the graphic novel, to appearing in the graphic novel itself, to receiving an actual piece of original artwork from artist Nicola Scott.

The next set of Kamen Rider Gaim Complete Selection Modification Lockseeds is coming and this time it is the Kureshima Lockseed Set, which will undoubtedly contain Lockseeds for both Kamen Rider Zangetsu and Kamen Rider Ryugen.
Of note – the teaser image for the Kureshima Lockseed Set is Kamen Rider Zangetsu in his Kachidoki Arms form – a form that was first featured on a stage show and later in the Kamen Rider Fan Club exclusive Gaim Gaiden story released a few months back. Its inclusion will mark the first time any roleplay items for this form have been released (only a S.H. Figuart has been released).
The set will begin pre-orders via Premium Bandai Japan on April 6th. While as of yet to be announced, we assume Team Kamen Rider and Bluefin Brands will also carry this item. More details on the 6th!
