The Hunt is a universe of swords and sorcery adventure by Jorin Evers, a cartoonist in the Netherlands on quite a creative journey. I am impressed with what I see in this 48-page comic book that kicks off a Kickstarter campaign beginning tomorrow, January 11th. Both as the artist and writer, Evers demonstrates a pure delight for the fantasy genre. It will be fun to see this particular project evolve. Jorin Evers is an accomplished artist who got on my radar for his work on The Eighth.
Evers deserves to be proud of The Hunt series he is kicking off. Here are a few words from him:
“Designing characters and putting them in action-heavy sequences is what I find most entertaining. And that’s really what this project is about. I really wanted to have a setting for some cool action, which would allow me to draw some awesome characters.”
There’s one particular Evers creation I’m especially rooting for: a lone wolf character, who prefers to hide behind a cloak, but will spring into action and transform into a huge werewolf. It’s a little early to say but I have high hopes for him! Overall, this comic has a springy vibe to its characters and action fueled by a healthy manga influence. And, if you like vampires, Evers has got you covered too. Comics readers, wherever you find them, at conventions, comics shops or coffee shops, like to talk about how much fun it is once they’re hooked to a certain blend of fantasy or horror. The Hunt is off to a very promising start in finding those readers.
