MIDAS - by me, Shelli Paroline, and Braden Lamb - is officially out today at a bookstore near you! It’s a space epic with GOLD and DINOSAURS and SPACESHIPS and EXPLOSIONS and ETHICS and I really hope you like it <3
It’s a new collection that contains the complete story!
here’s a crude turnabout of a crude WiP of a certain space ship from a certain comic
THE PROSPECT! :0
You’ve laughed at his Dinosaur Comics webcomic at work. You’ve devoured his Adventure Time adaptation. You marveled at his Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. But have you read Ryan North’s Midas Flesh, the writer’s first original print comic series? If not, you can easily get caught up via trade. North explores the myth of King Midas – of ‘everything he touches turns to gold’ fame – from a surprising angle in this funny, imaginative and remarkably dramatic series. In fact, this is probably North’s most serious work to date. Sometime in the future, a spaceship with a crew of three (two humans and one talking dinosaur), journey to a golden planet in order to secure something that can turn anything it touches to gold. It’s the ultimate source of wealth, and the ultimate weapon.
That’s Comics Alliance’s write-up of the new Midas Flesh trade, out today! You can read a preview here.
