This is something me and a friend have been working on for a couple of years now. It finally exists in the world (as a prologue, at least!) and I'm very keen to show people.

These are only the initial four pages, which show the events of the Breach Crisis - a demon invasion of Helsinki, repelled by the UN.

There's more to come - a lot more. We really hope you like it.

I know - it's shameless self promotion, but we'd like people all over the world to check out what we're doing.

If you do think it's neat, or if you have some pals who might be interested, we have a Kickstarter here, where we have loads more information on the setting and the characters. Check the updates for even more!

First it looks amazing I would love to read. Secondly fuck you now that you have me waiting an undisclosed amount of time waiting for this.

Honestly, we feel the same! Watching it come together is rewarding AND frustrating. We want the whole thing done now!

Absolutely love the concept/art style! You planning to have main characters or have separate isolated events with different characters?

Also, as I forgot to mention (eek!) our artist is the wonderful Elli Puukangas: https://ellipuukangas.deviantart.com/

As close to both as we can manage. We're very 'have our pie and eat it' at Team Pande. The comic will follow a team of scruffy mercs...

...but we're going to have An Actual Boatload of peripheral content, like newspaper clippings from the RZ, and short stories.

The invasion started in Helsinki huh, i guess flight number 666 to HEL had something to do with it.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Not QUITE as contrived as that! We didn't actually take note of the Hel thing at first. We used Helsinki because we wanted somewhere that...

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

...wasn't the usual New York/London/etc and Helsinki IS building an underground city, so it fit!

It's always pretty interesting to me when like mythological creatures are introduced to a modern setting. Looks great OP, i'd read it.

Ahahah! Great scene. Yeah, we were tired of modern militaries getting stomped by aliens and such. Superior firepower buys a lot of victory!

Once you guys get it going, you should post it on Webtoons. I’m sure it wouldn’t be long before it gets featured.

That's a really good shout! Appreciate the tip!

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

There’s Tapas too, which you can make money off of (I think) but it isn’t as popular. Webtoons mainly uses patrons. I’ve seen popular 1/2

ones with tons of patrons. Around 100 can make you $600 a month depending on how much ya charge for that kind of thing.

I have a very large suspension of disbelief but I just CANNOT buy the UN actually doing something! Seriously though great work!

Now see this are demons. They have no nation, culture or religion to object or are allianced with.

Thanks! Really appreciate it! And yeah, Apokal has a point. This is free PR! 'UN SAVES THW WORLD!' Also the Finns did a lot of work. Achem.

We've had 'that's a deathclaw' and 'that's a hell baron'! Safe to say we cribbed from the designs we liked!

Wow this is a lot like something I’ve been working on. Mines about multiple parallel worlds beginning to overlap to form one reality Pt.1-

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Pt.2- the story focuses on multiple characters from said realities and what they’re experiencing in the chaos that ensues during the event.

You spotted that huh? We will have other colours... eventually. Promise. Really love what our artist did with battles of colours here though

I work in corporate design. The blue/orange contrast is really popular because of how pleasing it looks. First panel reminds me of -

I did a bit of a film/TV course and learned the Arcane Orange/Blue Poster Design trick from there. That's a really flattering comparison!

An interesting take on the "Modern world meets fantasy" concept, I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure. Great work so far!
