When you live and breathe sci-fi and comics on a daily basis, it’s easy for things to all run together and very difficult for people to do something that truly stands out and makes you take notice. Recently, I was sent a copy of a new digital graphic novel to review called Archeologists Of Shadows that did just that.

The graphic novel is difficult to classify. Yes, it’s Sci-Fi. Yes, it’s Steampunk, but it has a visual style that separates it from the herd, and world building that definitely draws you into the story. It’s really better for you to check it out on your own and get a feel for it yourself, so check out the press release, a cover and the trailer for Archeologists Of Shadows below!

Press Release:

Septagon Studios Releases Archeologists Of Shadows, a Sci-Fi/Steampunk Digital Graphic Novel

ARCHEOLOGISTS OF SHADOWS is set in a world where every living thing is becoming mechanical. Some think that the phenomenon is the will of the gods, and so the Authorities punish those who resist the transformation, although all wonder about the real reason for the changes.

ARCHEOLOGISTS OF SHADOWS, Volume 1: The Resistance, is a graphic novel that has been in development for more than five years. Writer Lara Fuentes and artist Patricio Clarey, based out of Spain, have collaborated with Septagon Studios to publish A.O.S., with editing and adaptation by Preston Park Cooper. It contains over 100 pages of immersive story and art that combine drawing, sculpture, photography, photo manipulation and digital painting.

Early reviews are describing ARCHEOLOGISTS OF SHADOWS as:

“An original story coupled with some of the most ethereal and stunning artwork to ever grace a comic book panel” –Jason Moore SciFiMafia.com

“Behind powerful and imaginative writing and artistic prowess that lends itself to film, Archeologists of Shadows may in fact be the most intriguing independent comic book released this year.” –Patrick Hickey Jr. ReviewFix.com

“Archeologists Of Shadows combines great writing with magnificent art” –Michael Nimmo 3millionyears.co.uk
