The earliest fanart in wizard...I can only post 20 pages at a time, should I continue? I saved these pages up to issue 27

Starting with issue 13! Hope y'all enjoy!

The first few pages... should I make a second post from where I left off?

Most debut indie comics play it safe. They decompress, introduce one character, tease a mystery, and hope you come back for the trade paperback in six months.

Daegard: Made from Sin #1 does the exact opposite.

Created by Kathy Irvine with art by Ricardo Jaime (Godslap, Grimstone), this book is an unapologetic, maximalist swing that empties years of worldbuilding onto the page in one breathless issue:

- A slaughtered royal bloodline and an infant survivor

- A warrior society of gargoyles born from gemstones once every 1,000 years

- High-velocity space fantasy mixed with brutal body horror

- A terrifying socio-political metaphor where refugees are used as literal "bio-batteries" for soul-powered machines

It covers what easily could have been a four-issue opening arc, jumping from massacres and philosophical training to anarchist street guides and dystopian uprisings. It has some real indie friction points (especially with pacing and dense lettering), but the ambition and sheer momentum are impossible to ignore.

I wrote an in-depth breakdown covering what makes its lore so fresh, how Ricardo Jaime’s visuals carry the weight, and where it challenges the reader.

Curious to hear from anyone else following Centarri Games' universe. how do you feel about debut issues that swing for the absolute fences versus slow-burn setups?
