WESLEY SNIPES RETURNS TO COMICS! 

The producer and star of the Blade franchise is back with a 140-page, OVERSIZED, balls-to-the-wall sci-fi/noir graphic novel. No punches pulled here.

In this dark tale, Detective Niles “Roach” Washington pursues a serial killer five thousand years in the makings. The world around him says to ignore the signs he's seeing, but his instincts push him forward. With enemies on all sides and within, Roach wades into the darkness to find the killer and uncovers Earth’s darkest secret.  

This is a collector's item and is presented in a CAMPAIGN-ONLY OVERSIZED FORMAT (8.5" x 13").  It is huge. It will be a double-layered softcover (much thicker than standard with wrapped edges) with sewn binding, which allows the book to lay flat with a ribbon bookmark. It will feel as big and dynamic as the story.

The ONLY way to get it this way is here. It will NOT be sold in stores or online later. If this is on your shelf, the world will know you're not afraid of danger.

Created by Wesley Snipes, Keith Arem, and Adam Lawson

*NOTE: all art is subject to change.

This campaign offers the Indiegogo exclusive VARIANT COVER and 8" x 10" print. This will be the ONLY way to ever get them. The cover features amazing line art by Rob Willis and breathtaking colors by Valentina Bianconi. The print is by legendary artist Preston Asevedo.

ORIGINAL COVER + PRINT

TRADING CARDS + BOOKMARK

Every print backer gets a crowdfunding exclusive pack of trading cards and metal bookmark. These stretch goals were unlocked previously on Kickstarter and they are all yours for the taking. 

The graphic novel will contain hidden codes throughout the pages that will unlock digital collectibles. These codes will not appear in any other version of the book, so this is your chance to get them. The digital collectibles are going to include exclusive access to events, art, comics, and other exciting experiences. 

Size isn't everything. Sometimes you need to grab a comic and go. We are crafting a black & white manga-sized “Go Version” of the book with a unique wrap cover. The pages will have gray and zip tones like your favorite manga and feature red page edges that make it stand out from the crowd.

There is more to explore! The Exiled is a complete story, but it also opens the door to many others. Exiled: The Forgotten Wars is a perfect-bound, 48-page story set in the world of The Exiled. Without giving away its secrets, it will be haunting and action-packed with line art by Jason Crager.

*The complete set: Oversized hero book, The Forgotten Wars graphic novel, and Go Version

You are going to want to lay your hands on this 6-inch figurine. It has weight and size and features "Roach" in action.  The figurine is included in the VETERAN tier and can also be ADDED-ON.

A NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING

We have a fulfillment partner who uses local hubs worldwide to ship goods, so you are getting the best price for the territory you are in. Unfortunately, shipping around the world has gone up. The book is also oversized, and the figurine is huge, so we need custom boxes and packaging. That is how we got our shipping prices. We want to respect your dollar and we want to be able to ship your stuff.
