Isom #1

The one that started it all. Avery Silman left the hero Isom behind for a quiet ranch—but family has a way of pulling a man back into the fight. Isom #1, from Rippaverse founder Eric July.

Avery Silman traded the chaos of Florespark for the quiet isolation of a ranch, and meant to stay there. Then his sister asks him to look into the disappearance of a family friend, and the world he tried to escape comes looking for him.

His search leads him to Darren Fontaino—a name out of his past—and back toward the powers, the enemies, and the responsibilities he set down for a reason. The hero he used to be was never as far behind him as he hoped.

Isom #1 is the debut issue of the series that built the Rippaverse: the cornerstone of a connected universe of heroes, villains, and the city of Florespark, and the cleanest entry point for new readers into the entire line.

For new readers, this is the single best place to start the Rippaverse; for collectors, it's the key first issue of the entire line—the book that turned a record-breaking pre-order campaign into a publishing house.

From writer Eric July, founder of Rippaverse Publishing, whose debut Isom #1 became one of the most successful independent comic-book launches in history and the foundation of the connected Rippaverse line.
