THE RESURRECTED #1 is now live on Kickstarter!
Hello friends!
Our Kickstarter campaign for THE RESURRECTED comic book series has officially launched!
The Resurrected #1 on Kickstarter
If you haven’t been following, our series is a story about redemption, the acceptance of our mortality and about how far one Aboriginal-Australian detective would go to save his people from almost certain extinction. On a socio-political level, it is also an exploration of the plight of Australia’s Indigenous peoples.
Christian Carnouche is the writer/creator, art is by Crizam colours Salvatore Aiala letters by Cardinal Rae & edits by Erica Schultz
Ariela Kristantina and Bryan Valenza have also produced a stunning variant cover for issue one, while Michael Montenat has created a stunning print as a reward for the campaign.
Thanks again for supporting us!

Creator Talks Podcast – Christian Carnouche and The Resurrected
He and Christopher Calloway had a really fun chat about Christian’s comic #TheResurrected, the importance of an editor (yay for Erica Schultz ), comic book promotion, the research that went into writing an Indigenous-Australian protagonist & of course vintage Star Wars.
Massive thank you to all of the collaborators Crizam, Salvatore Aiala & Erica on The Resurrected:)
Central Park in Sydney – inspiration for the Nova Lucis landscape
I was in Sydney for a couple of weeks, having a bit of a break from comic book scriptwriting and Kickstarter prep. The weather was spectacular.
This is my new favourite building in Sydney and is right next to where I spent a good chunk of my youth. It is also served as one of the references for some of the beautiful Nova Lucis buildings designed by Crizam Zamora for our comic, THE RESURRECTED.
Check out ComicVerse’s review of THE RESURRECTED!
First ever review of THE RESURRECTED is in! And all I can say is WOW, WOW AND WOW!
“THE RESURRECTED #1 is both challenging and entertaining. Carnouche and Zamora make an excellent team for this debut comic. The comic does not shy away from issues like oppression, racism, and death. However, it is not all doom and gloom. The cop-show mystery keeps the pace moving. Cain makes a compelling and complex hero! I am eager to see what the future installments have to offer.”
Check out the full review below:
HUGE thank you ComicsVerse for such a wonderful review! Not only was it extremely positive but also insightful and intelligent. I feel like they really understood what the comic was about. I am a big fan of ComicsVerse so this is particularly satisfying.
Thank you Molly for the effort and research that went into the review and for the support you have shown our team 🙂
Well done to the TR team Crizam , Salvatore Aiala, Cardinal Rae , Erica Schultz & Christian Carnouche .

What does a comic book writer do?
What exactly does a comic book writer do? I’ve been asked this question a bunch of times so I thought I would share a really brief example of the script that I wrote for Issue One of the The Resurrected. The sample attached is Page One, which is relatively quite a short page.
Every comic book writer is different, some provide the artist merely with some basic details and let them design the majority of the panel but others use their script to suggest panel size and shape, shot angles, colours etc etc. As you can see from my script sample, I’m probably somewhere in between. There’s no right or wrong way to go about it.
As a writer, we should also be describing what action is happening in the panel, what the characters are doing, saying and feeling, and what the environment is like.
The writer’s job also includes mapping the plot, character arcs and themes. Our entire series is already mapped out, with the help of my amazing editor Erica Schultz.
Page One was quite a difficult page both to write and draw, considering that we had to be historically accurate. We undertook loads of research and also ran the script and panel designs past Indigenous friends to make sure we weren’t misrepresenting their culture. I’ve already written an article about this process so I won’t go into it further:
Hope this helps you guys understand the writer’s role a little bit better.

Introducing The Resurrected’s Akimi Ozaki!
Excited to introduce our third main character for our comic series The Resurrected. Check these link if you missed our last character introductions –
Meet Akimi Ozaki, Cain’s 35-year-old easygoing Japanese-American partner at the Special Division for the Ressurected (SDR). Akimi was a detective at the LAPD before transferring to the UN city-state of Nova Lucis four years ago, not long after the 2032 techno-terrorist attack that rendered Australia inhospitable. Akimi is dedicated to the word of the law and in contrast to her technophobe partner Cain, she has embraced the massive leaps in nanotechnology that have improved her chances of catching crooks. Although Cain’s intensity often annoys her, Akimi has his back, no matter what the situation.
Art finally complete for ‘The Resurrected’ Issue #1!
The art is finally finished for the first issue of The Resurrected comic so we’re celebrating with the first ever public release of a completed page – Page 1 (albeit low res for now). Not only that, but our artist Crizam ZAMORA has shared the entire art process for this page, from the pencils/ink through to the colours/letters,
