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 CrizamSalvatore Aiala & Erica on 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.”

THE RESURRECTED #1: Revitalizing The Zombie Apocalypse

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 .

The logline of the story is:

“In a future where death is not always the end, a lonely yet resolute Aboriginal-Australian detective challenges the world’s most powerful corporation in a battle to save his people from almost certain extinction. If he is to succeed, he must re-discover his Indigenous roots while also finally learning to overcome the loss of his family who died in the techno-plague that ravished Australia five years earlier.”

The Resurrected comic touches on several philosophical themes that I feel particularly engaged with, including those linked to death and mortality, identity and the nature of freedom and responsibility. It also delves into social-political issues, most significantly the ongoing destructive effects that the centuries old invasion of Australia has had on the Indigenous population.

I’ve been lucky enough to have some of my Indigenous friends review my plot and script and some of the art.

I’m working alongside an extremely talented and experienced team, who have all worked for well-known comic book publishers – Crizam is the artist, Salvatore Aiala the colourist and Erica Schultz is the editor. We’ve just hooked a big name for the variant over but we’ll keep that a secret for the timebeing.

The first issue is complete and will be out in a few months. We will be self-publishing it and running a Kickstarter in mid-Feb as a way of streamlining pre-orders and pre-selling some merchandise. There will be PDF copies of issue one available in April and the print copy should be available in June. We’re already deep into issue two so that should arrive hot on the heels of the first issue.

Here are a few sneak peak panels to give you an idea of the art.

Thanks to all of my wonderful family and friends who have already been so supportive!

Thanks!
Christian

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  –

Cain Duluth

Xander Calypse

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.

 

 

 

Introducing The Resurrected’s Xander Calypse!

We’re finally introducing another main character for our comic series The Resurrected. Check this link if you missed the introduction of our protagonist – Cain Duluth

Meet Xander Calypse, the enigmatic CEO of the all-powerful Drexler Nanotech Corporation (DNC), the company responsible for creating the now banned resurrection serum and for developing the weaponised nanobots that obliterated the Australian population in 2032. Although DNC has been heavily criticised for its reckless development of certain technologies, it was also responsible for designing the nano-technologies that eliminated disease, famine and pollution.

Xander is intensely driven and has little empathy for others. He would do absolutely anything to achieve his goals, but what does a man who is wealthy beyond belief still desire?
