#PoserPreviews--Familiars (Ashcan) from Source Point Press

Source Point Press has become one of the publishers I'm addicted to after the production/distribution freeze of new books in the opening phase of COVID stuff.  After my friends from Comic Burrito introduced me to their Free Comic Book Week, I found so many great titles to fall in love with.  Some of my favorites being: Floppy Cop, The Seance Room, Franklin and Ghost, and Dead End Kids!

They consistently have so many great titles coming out, yet folks are too busy playing catch-up and pulling things after the fact (which is great). However, I want more folks to chat Source Point Press with on release day.  Therefore, I'm going to increase my coverage of their previews etc. to call out some great books you don't want to miss out on!

Familiars #1
By: (W) Garrett Gunn, (A) Michael Calero

Source Point Press summarizes the story as:  

Long ago, the Old Gods of the universe ruled alongside their mythical Familiars. Ancient and magical beasts imprinted upon each champion at birth and said to have been hand selected for each trainer by the Father. Before his mysterious death, The Father converged all the realms of the universe into one solitary region, known as Velor.
 
Familiars is the story of a Champion. It follows Ayse Katsu, as she attempts to reach the Path of Kami's Chosen; a mythical state of existence reserved for those who are worthy of being named the greatest champions in the region.
 
“More than anything, Familiars is about friendships. It's about the idea that nobody reaches their dreams alone. That it’s the bonds we make and the connections we build to others, our community, and to nature that help us grow” says Gunn.
 
The Familiars ashcan showcases the most exciting part of the upcoming series, the battles, but it also offers a glimpse into the future of the Valor region.
 
“The ashcan is a look into the future of the series, where we see sort of a culminating event that the regular series will be building towards. Plus, if you're a collector, it's the first appearance of the entire main cast,” says Gunn.

Picking up this ashcan is definitely on this to-do list. I am definitely down to check out a new fantastic tale about uniting to either preserve or challenge the will of the gods.  Or, as Izzy's Comics calls it "Pokemon for Adults..."  

The regular Familiars series is set to debut later this year from Source Point Press with a super-sized first issue in magazine format. The ashcan is available now, only at izzyscomics.com with multiple colors and signature/grading options available.  I am a HUGE fan of collecting Ashcans and Advance Reader Copies and you better believe this is something I'm going to pick up for the collection.  Copies are limited, so make sure you pick yours up ASAP!
