Santwan: Exclave #1 - by Eric July (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

From Rippaverse founder Eric July--writer of Santwan--the character's entry into the line's first major crossover event. Art by Ricardo Jaime; colors by Tatto Caballero.

Santwan's role in the Rippaverse's first major crossover event begins here. Santwan: Exclave #1 is the tie-in one-shot establishing the character's stake in the event and his trajectory through and beyond it. A mercenary with a past that runs through the pages of Isom, Santwan gets his origin told on the event stage--who he was, what he walked away from, and why the crossover drags him back in. A clean entry point for new readers and a continuity beat for established fans of the Rippaverse line. Like every Exclave one-shot, it stands alone--and reads deeper alongside the main series, beginning with Exclave #1 (11/03/26). On sale 11/17/26, the event's third week--56 pages, rated for the line's adult readership.

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

From writer Eric July, founder of Rippaverse Publishing, with interior art by Ricardo Jaime and colors by Tatto Caballero. Letters by The Invisible Art Studio.
