Spinner Rack: THE FARAWAY Returns!
The campaign for the second issue (and the first in case you missed it) of THE FARAWAY is now LIVE on Kickstarter!
I don’t think there are any new Cullen Bunn books hitting the shelves this week. But I swear I’m not slacking off! The Kickstarter campaign for THE FARAWAY is now live!
We know the story, right? While playing a fantasy role-playing game, a group of friends accidentally transports themselves into a fantasy world. Therein, they meet a friendly magical gnome who grants them magical weapons and guides them through their adventures. They face dark forces, but they rise into the roles of heroes and reaffirm the lifelong bonds of friendship in the process.
Yeah.
This isn’t that story.
Our heroes are transported into a magical kingdom of warriors and wizards and dragons and catacombs, yes. They meet a friendly magical gnome, yes. They are granted magical artifacts of great power, yes. But, within minutes of arriving in the fantasy world, this group of five college students finds themselves thrown into an adventure that is more horror than high fantasy.
Our heroes have arrived, you see, in the DARKEST if dark fantasy worlds, where the “evil overlord” has already successfully conquered the realm and enslaved all of the free peoples. It is a nightmare realm populated by the most awful monsters and the most cruel sorcerers and warlords.
Think of it as a tale of survival horror... in a land like Mordor… if the corruption of Mordor spread across all of Middle Earth.
Trapped in this violent, vicious, unforgiving, terrifying (and terrifyingly lethal) realm, our heroes struggle for survival as, at every turn, they are faced with malignant monsters, foul magic, and fiendish foes.
Written by master of horror comics Cullen Bunn and illustrated by high-energy artist Vitalii Kalchenko, THE FARAWAY takes the familiar tropes of “gamers trapped in a fantasy world” and twists them into something reaaaaaal naasty.
If you missed the campaign for the first issue, don’t worry! You can grab that issue right along with issue 2!
