Exclave - by Eric July (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The Rippaverse's first major crossover event begins. From Rippaverse founder Eric July--creator of Yaira, Bloodruth, and Alphacore--the line-defining event that pulls every street-level, geopolitical, and supernatural corner of the Rippaverse into one collision. Art by Will Conrad.

Exclave #1 is the first issue of the Rippaverse's first ensemble crossover event. Every major character has a stake. Every series has a tie-in one-shot. Every reader gets a clean entry point. The setup, the players, the threat, and the line in the sand that forces the Rippaverse's heroes to choose where they stand. Three heroes stand at the center of it--Isom and Sydnee Bloodruth among them--with every corner of the line pulled in around them. The event runs through November and December: the main series sets the stage, and eight character one-shots carry it across the line, every one built to be readable on its own.

Other Exclave event titles include Salvage: Exclave #1, Yaira: Exclave #1, Saoirse: Exclave #1, Santwan: Exclave #1, RonCop: Exclave #1, Fontaino: Exclave #1, Catch & Kill: Exclave #1, Alphacore/Horseman: Exclave #1.

From writer Eric July--solo on the main Exclave series--with interior art by Will Conrad (Brazil; Nightwing, Wonder Woman, Star Wars). Letters by The Invisible Art Studio.
