Greetings from the stars.
After some long days working in the new comic we are back! In this issue we will talk all about EIGHT MONTHS AGO #1 and the second edition of MERCADO DO CONTRA.
So, let’s start shall we?
EIGHT MONTHS AGO #1
EIGHT MONTHS AGO #1 our newest comic book marks the last piece of the plan around the IN THE DUST OF OUR PLANET first wave of releases. This work will reveal some big important answers to the ever growing universe, so be sure to do not miss it!
here is the synopsis of the story that you can find inside:
EIGHT MONTHS AGO is a gripping prequel to the SWEET WIND series, delving into the enigmatic past of the strange man at the heart of the original series. This thrilling narrative unravels the mystery behind a deadly alien infestation and the pivotal role played by a group of courageous individuals who once lived with him.
The comic comes again from the mind of Daniel da Silva Lopes with editing by Miguel Gonçalves and its the first release we have in beautifull full colors.
Here are some glimpses!
What do you think? I just LOVE those colors!
Well, the surprise don’t just end there. To commemorate its release we decided to launch two more extra alternate covers by two incredible authors. This covers will be very limited and its focus is to create attention around the book and in the authors themselves, because, to be honest, they are pretty incredible!
Alternate limited cover by RICARDO BAPTISTA:

But, the pre-orders are already open in our KO-FI shop. Reserve your copy right now!
And don’t forget. If you pre-order or if you buy your copy at the market you will also receive a special limited print. But we will leave that as a surprise ;)
To finish things off around this release, we have to say that this release must be one of the most important releases we have done, so your support will be the most important thing to us. We hope you believe in this project as much we believe in it.
Thank you.
