Exciting Announcement: Mars Frontier Graphic Novel Nears Completion!
To all Mars Frontier enthusiasts, gamers, and science fiction aficionados, we have thrilling news to share with you today! After over a decade of immersive gameplay and a devoted community, we are delighted to announce that the world of Mars Frontier is set to continue its journey in a stunning graphic novel project. This project has been a labor of love for our dedicated team, which includes a remarkable lineup of co-creators, industry veterans, and celebrated artists who have joined forces to bring Mars Frontier to life like never before!
A Legacy of Collaboration:
Since its initial release in 2012, the Mars Frontier indie online video game has united artists, writers, game designers, and producers in creating an extraordinary universe that has captured the imaginations of millions. We are proud to announce that many of the original illustrators and concept artists who contributed to the game’s visual splendor have lent their talents to the graphic novel project. Prepare to be astounded by the artistic prowess of visionaries such as Abe Taraky (God of War), Lee Stringer (Star Wars), and Eric Williams (Dungeons and Dragons), whose stunning production and concept art will be featured in the graphic novel, showcasing the breathtaking landscapes and captivating characters of Mars Frontier.
A Stellar Creative Team:
In addition to these revered artists, we are thrilled to introduce the remarkable talents behind the graphic novel itself. Joining forces as co-creators and collaborators, we have comic series co-creator and artist Omar Francia (known for his work on Batman and Star Wars), writer Ricardo Sanchez (recognized for his contributions to Resident Evil) and writer James Tien (co-creator of their Mars Frontier video game). Their shared vision and passion for storytelling ensure that the Mars Frontier graphic novel will be an unforgettable experience, seamlessly merging intricate visuals with a compelling narrative.
Guiding the artistic direction and ensuring the highest quality is editor Shahriar Fouladi, whose expertise honed through work with esteemed publishers such as IDW and Image will bring a professional touch to every page. To add the final touches of authenticity and visual cohesion, we are thrilled to have letterer Simon Bowland, whose mastery of the craft shines through his work at major publishers like Marvel and DC. The work is supported by Conrad Tien, who led financing and production of the project as part of the Battlehouse, Inc. game studio who developed and operated the Mars Frontier game.
The Countdown Begins:
We are thrilled to announce that the story, script, and artwork for the Mars Frontier graphic novel are now complete! Our team is eagerly awaiting the final lettering to put the finishing touches on this remarkable project. In the meantime, we are exploring various options for bringing the graphic novel to your hands.
Options and Opportunities:
To ensure the widest possible access for all Mars Frontier enthusiasts, we are considering self-publishing the graphic novel via a Kickstarter campaign. This would provide a unique opportunity for you, the fans, to directly support the project and be among the first to hold this extraordinary creation in your hands. Alternatively, we are also exploring potential partnerships with comic publishers or young adult graphic novel and book publishers to bring the story to a wider audience.
Join the Adventure:
The Mars Frontier graphic novel is designed to captivate players and fans of the game, young adult readers aged 13 and above, as well as science fiction, comic, and graphic novel enthusiasts. We believe this immersive experience will not only satisfy existing fans but also ignite a passion for comics among younger readers, introducing them to a whole new world of imagination.
