WELCOME TO BLOOD WORLD
Who Are Raincross Press and What is Blood World?
Raincross Press is a collection of writers and artists from across the globe who have partnered together to create independent titles that focus on storytelling and world building. We want to spark your imagination and provide you with an entertaining experience that makes you yearn for the next part of the story.
Blood World is our debut graphic title. Based on the Blood World universe by writer, D.W. Howard (OPSEC, The Long Game), this science fiction epic takes places in our solar system in the year 2587. The setting can best be described as one part Dune, one part Game of Thrones, and one part Gattaca with a smattering of fantasy and Blade Runner thrown in for good measure. The format for the book has taken inspiration from foundational titles like 2000 AD and Heavy Metal, and will be an 80 + page graphic anthology of stories and additional content in each issue.
Your support on this project will help us bring our dream to life so that we can deliver that vision to you. All of us here at Raincross fell in love with this vision of the far future and your support will allow us to bring this world to life for you, our readers. Your support will fund the final artwork for the book, printing and shipping costs and packaging We are committed to hitting the ground running and your support will help us in that goal.
Take a look at some of the artwork that will feature in this exciting new title.
