A quick pivot here as we take a gander at some graphic novel assets with a new campaign by author Steven Yu for Joan. Yu doled out a taste for fans several years ago with a small digital preview, and now he’s following up with the completion of his pulpy, action-packed four part epic, with efforts to make Joan a reality now underway at Indiegogo.
When the growing authoritarian might of her nemesis, the self-righteous English monarch, King Henry and his magic-wielding dark lords, The Burgundians, spread like wildfire across the medieval hellscape, God resurrects Joan of Arc to stop them. Enchanted with immortality and blessed with infinite ammo, Joan will stop at nothing until these villains are vanquished and peace is restored across France.
JOAN is a 4-part graphic novel series set in an alternative 1430’s medieval France. It is a hodgepodge of genres, put together in one unique stylish action-packed comic book casserole: spaghetti westerns, 80’s/90’s films of John Woo, Tarantino, and Robert Rodriguez, anime (Ninja Scroll and Samurai Champloo), and comics (Blade of the Immortal and Spawn).
The good news here is that the first two volumes are already complete, and with your help, Yu can get those volumes printed in full graphic novel-sized release as Yu looks ahead to round things out with the third and fourth volumes. Check out some exclusive images he sent us in the gallery below, and head over to Indiegogo to learn more about Joan and how to help!
