Cutaway Comics’ Gods and Monsters The Next Phase 3 New Players

Crowdfunding is open now on Indiegogo for this Phase of Gods and Monsters at www.indiegogo.com

New players enter the world of GODS and MONSTERS – Introducing, DRAX, LOSKO and making her comic doubt – IRIS WILDTHYME!

Cutaway Comics’ epic crossover event continues as three new players enter the world of GODS AND MONSTERS: Cockney thief and rebel DRAX, transtemporal adventuress IRIS WILDTHYME and the maverick Antontine killer LOSKO.

Over a year in the making, Gods and Monsters will see friends and foes from the worlds of Doctor Who brought together across time and space onboard the Eltralla, a phantom colony ship lost in space and time, harbouring a hidden and potentially universe-shattering, secret. In this phase, four brand-new stories featuring DRAX, ELDRAD, LOSKO and IRIS WILDTHYME.

Cutaway Comics Publisher Gareth Kavanagh comments: “This is where it starts to get really exciting, or should I say dangerous? We’ve got the comic introduction of Iris Wildthyme, approved by none other than Iris’ creator Paul Magrs and with the blessing of Katy Manning – who is thrilled Iris has her own comic – at last!”

“But that’s not all – we’ve also got the matter of the disaster at the Nunton Power Complex to clear up – and it’s down to Cockney thief Drax to try and solve it. But how can there be two of him in the same place, at the same time?”

“And then there’s a new player – Losko of the Antoine! Stephen Gallagher is back to explore more of the Warriors Gate-verse. We’re really excited about this one – he’s a deadly, remorseless killer entering the gameboard!”

The comics launch via crowdfunding on Indiegogo with extra perks available including the chance for you to have a personalised cover for the comics, ‘Sugar Smacks’ inspired badge sets, packs of Drax’s builders tea, t-shirts, papercraft items, VAM discs packed with content, signed items and more!

Here’s more details of the stories:

DRAX: London Calling & LA Woman

Written by Ian Winterton with art by Stephen B. Scott and Martin Baines

Inspired to be a better man by events on Atrios, Drax returns to Earth accidentally arriving in 1976 – when an earlier version of him is still banged up in Brixton nick! He’s then persuaded to tackle a situation at Nunton Power Complex, where the mutated remnants of alien warlord Eldrad still live…
In Part Two, LA Woman, Drax is abducted by an old enemy and taken to 1976 Los Angeles where people have started falling out of the sky. Amongst them is a mysterious woman – a cyber-enhanced warrior from humanity’s far future. Except… she’s somehow also from 21st Century Scotland.

IRIS WILDTHYME: Partners in Crime

Written by Sean Mason with art by Libby Reed

A young thief. A horde of bloodthirsty pirates. An interdimensional map. Ancient temples and deadly traps. Treasure of immeasurable and terrible power. Multiverse ending paradoxes. A talking flamingo. Just another Tuesday for Iris Wildthyme. But where is she going to find a decent gin & tonic in this apocalyptic wasteland?

LOSKO OF THE ANTONINE

Written by Steve Gallagher with art by Mike Collins.

One of a race of fierce feline warriors, the Antonines – distant evolutionary cousins of the Tharils – Losko is born at a time when former human slaves of the Tharils, having overthrown their masters, now rule a vast interstellar empire of their own. In a twisted form of revenge, the human imperium is built on slavery, not just of the Tharils, but all non-humans. Experiencing human cruelty first hand, Losko’s growing hatred for humanity sets him on a path to become a killer – fanatical, remorseless and utterly deadly.
