Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink…. well maybe just a drop. Well, the team is assembled, the vision has been established and things are starting to get rolling on our latest effort Rip Current. Written by Carmen Wright, Rip Current tells the story of a dystopian future in which most of the land masses on the planet have become submerged under water. In this episode, Lucia Ribeiro’s predictable routine, flying patrol around her island fortress, Cascadia, is forever changed when she comes face-to-face with a mysteriously exotic man swimming deep under the ocean. With ever-increasing raids from neighbouring fortress, Cordova, her mother’s political manoeuvrings and the arrival of new guy in her all-female patrol squad crushing in from all directions, Lucia must decide how far she’s willing to go in order to find this mystery man and what she’ll do when she does.
Here’s some of the character sketches provided by Patricio Plaza, who will be pencilling the story.
The black lines will be inked by Christian Major, AKA Fetternity. The colours will be provided by Aya Ikeda-Barry, Ed Brisson will be lettering Rip Current and I, Alex Cieslik will be editing. Stay tooned for more updates as things progress

I don’t mean to sound like a buttsniffer, but Patricio’s pencils are a pleasure to ink. Thick outlines, bold traits, and a fluidity to the physicality of the characters that’s really swell.
This is going to be a good book.

What!! Well, now I know the identity of the mystery inker… very cool! Thanks Christian! You’re doing a wonderful job.
Everything is looking WONDERFUL!! Patricio is brilliant, Aya’s colours are exactly what I hoped for, Alex has a keen eye for details I’ve missed and guess I’ll see Ed’s work pretty quick… I’m very lucky to have this team. I love how it’s looking.

Patricio is one of the finest pencillers I know, so I have no doubt this book will be awesome! I can’t wait to see how the artwork looks inked and coloured!
