Amazon’s digital comic service, comiXology, has debuted the first issue of their exclusive new fantasy series, “Delver.” The five-part limited series was written by Iron Circus Comics founder C. Spike Trotman, and MK Reed (“The Castoffs”), with art duties handled by newcomer Clive Hawken, who was featured in the Kickstarter-funded anthology, “Unversed.”
The series examines social issues through the eyes of a young villager who learns to navigate the uncertain world around her. Speaking about the book, Reed said, “Spike and I are the specific kind of nerds who see epic fantasy settings and wonder about the local economy. Temerity, our main character, is a teen girl stuck in the middle of sudden economic upheaval in her very small town, except that her town’s gold rush also involves giant monsters springing out of the ground.”
Trotman described the book as “for fans of Critical Role, Ursula K. LeGuin novels, and The Adventure Zone.”
Part one of “Delver” is available at no additional cost for members of Prime Reading, Kindle Unlimited, and comiXology Unlimited. It’s also available for purchase on ComiXology and Kindle for regular cost. Upon release, the collected series will be available for purchase with Print-on-Demand through Amazon.
