One of our favorite things to do at GVN is recognize and promote great indie comic creators who dare to pursue their dreams. That takes courage as well as talent. Part of that endeavor lies in the willingness to seek assistance in promoting their latest project. So, when writer Chris Yates and artist Simone Ragazzoni invited us to look at their new title, Marcus Walker: Kingslayer Protocol, we were happy to check it out. It was a win for us, too. This project is a great blend of manga action and impressive visuals that are a treat for both the mind and the eye. Marcus Walker: Kingslayer Protocol comes to Kickstarter on March 3rd.
Marcus Walker: Kingslayer Protocol
As the war wages on between Kaijus and Kingslayer Mechs in New Honolulu City, Marcus Walker is forced into hiding under the watchful eye of his authoritative family, determined to protect him. This unexpected turn of events forces Marcus to confront the relentless dangers of his choices head on as the sinister forces dredge up old secrets from his bloodline’s past and threaten his future.
Coming to Kickstarter on March 3rd, MARCUS WALKER: KINGSLAYER PROTOCOL is a brand new 48-page comic that is an ideal match for fans of Ultraman: Rising, Big Hero 6, and Power Rangers. Debut writer Chris Yates and rising star artist Simone Ragazzoni (Robotech: Rick Hunter, Power Rangers Universe, Dune: House Corrino) present a brand-new tale that explores the themes of family and self-discovery through explosive, manga-inspired action with real consequences!
Featuring exclusive covers from NYT Bestseller Sean Murphy (Batman: White Knight [Murphyverse], Tokyo Ghost, Chrononauts), Siya Oum (Neo Wonderland, Lola XOXO, Lady Mechanika), NYT Bestseller Rob Guillory (Chew, Farmhand, Mosely), and Kevin Keane (King Spawn, Gunslinger Spawn, Rat City).
All oversized (48 pages of story) deluxe offerings of MARCUS WALKER: KINGSLAYER PROTOCOL will only be available through Kickstarter and its creators.

We want to reassure backers that they are getting in on the ground floor of an exclusive comic that rewards and values them for their support.
Pretty impressive, right? However, don’t just take our word for it. Listen to Steven Maeda, the Co-Creator, Showrunner, and Writer of Netflix’s One Piece, Live Action.
