Los Angeles -- From the mind of Keu Cha (Witchblade, Rising
Stars) comes a fantasy unheard off. Join Keu Cha this February as he
uncovers a once great land, now steeped in darkness and decay.
As creator Keu Cha is contemplating his Kickstarter adventure
(88% funded with 23 days to go) he explains: “The response on
Kickstarter has been amazing so far, thanks to all our fans and friends,
new and old, but we are still pushing hard to meet our initial goal as
soon as possible and get to our stretch goals. We want to reach as many
people as possible and just get the word out that the first book is
done and will be available soon. This is just the beginning.”
And
Keu Cha also tells about the special format of this new fantasy series:
“First and foremost is the format very special. Every page is a double
page spread. It allows the reader to submerge him or herself into the
artwork and story and see how big our world really is.
Also, Hex is a serious story where good is pitted against evil, and heroes will die.”
On
why Keu choose this special format, or rather the format choose him: “I
always like drawing on larger scale and thought this book would be the
perfect opportunity to do so. The concept is big, the characters are big
and the big format allows me to express that. Also I wanted our book
not just to feel like a comic book but also an art book – something
readers can really enjoy looking at.”
Keu Cha is really enthusiastic to reach his goal, but stretching the goals will be a new endeavor for sure!
“In
addition to the art prints by phenomenal artists such as Joe Benitez,
Billy Tan and Leinil Francis Yu, we do have in mind adding a few more
stretch goals. For example, giving our 2nd issue comic book (when
completed) to all who have pledged over $20 or more. Another possible
new stretch goal is upgrading the perfect bound, oversize 1st issue into
a hard cover. We do have more cool stretch goal ideas in mind but
these are just the beginning. Stay tuned to our progress on
Kickstarter!”
Keu would like to address all the persons who have
not yet pledged in saying: “Please come and check out Hex The Lost
Tribe and you will see for yourself what I’m trying to put together. I
will not publish any book that is not up to 100% of my standards. If you
think these pages are awesome now, wait until we get further along in
the story. “

A synopsis of the HEX THE LOST TRIBE shows the true fantasy setting of this new world and its aspiration:
A
vast legion of undead soldiers, amassed from the remains of generations
before, ravage the land. They are lorded over by an ambitious
necromancer who will not stop short of domination over that is known.
LANA,
princess of the last Kingdom to fall before this unholy army, must flee
her home and travel into the black heart of the growing necropolis that
the rest of the realm has become. Out there amongst the ruins lies
perhaps the only chance for the world’s salvation: the mythical,
mysterious Lost Tribe, a forgotten band of powerful woman warriors and
their beastly companions.
Lana will come face-to-face with
RUYN, the monster that has long haunted her dreams, a being consumed by
his own uncontrollable rage. Does this creature hold the key to saving
Lana’s people or will their encounter unleash an ancient evil capable of
destroy creation itself?
