Coming soon to Kickstarter from Time Bomb Comics is Space Banshee Exorcist – a horror sci-fi mash-up of high-tech and ancient mythology. This looks fantastic and something worth backing from this team!
Time Bomb Comics is delighted to announce that anthology main stay, Space Banshee Exorcist, will be collected and published as a graphic novel this year. The new book will bring together the full-length story which previously ran in Quantum, along with a rework of the first Space Banshee Exorcist story that originally appeared in Brawler. The latter was originally drawn by Grace Toscano, but has been redrawn by series artist Danielle Wiebe specially for this collection.
Space Banshee Exorcist follows the titular Space Banshee, Fenshaw, as she works as an exorcist, travelling across a far future, ultra-capitalistic galaxy, fighting monsters and saving humans. Previous stories have seen her battling kelpies and krakens. In her first full-length graphic novel, she is sent to the mysterious medical testing moon, Morrigan, by a pharmaceutical inventor to find out why his clones are disappearing and to kill whatever creature is responsible. Fenshaw quickly realises that things are darker than she anticipated and must navigate her own place in the universe at the same time as doing her job.
Created by writer Katie Cunningham as her second project at Time Bomb Comics after the original graphic novel Rotten Under the Snow, Space Banshee Exorcist first appeared in Brawler #1 in 2020. With artist Danielle Wiebe joining from the second story in Brawler #2, the comic quickly found a fanbase. This includes Time Bomb’s publisher, Steve Tanner:
“Space Banshee Exorcist is one of those concepts that’s best described as ‘completely bonkers, but it works!’ At its heart it’s a great science fiction adventure story with a truly unusual lead. Artist Danielle Wiebe’s pages are just wonderful, and writer Katie Cunningham continues to convince me that she’s the Gail Simone of UK indie comics.”
Writer Katie Cunningham spoke about her feelings on the book:
“Space Banshee Exorcist is so much fun to work on, every time I come up with something crazy Danielle sends back something ten times crazier! I’m so excited to bring Fenshaw to new audiences and for her existing fans to get their hands on this collection. It’s the kind of folk-horror-noir-scifi-adventure the world needs more of.”
The Kickstarter pre-order campaign will be running from July 7th to August 1st, and can be found at:
