About “Carrying Iron”
There’s a brand-new Children of Gaia short comic in the world—and it’s doing something brand new! “Carrying Iron” is the first COG story set in the realm of Terra, where humans hold sway, technology is moving fast, the new world has just been discovered, and colonization is under way. “Carrying Iron” is also the first COG story to feature the Triggerman, a pivotal character whose legend will only grow with time…and a series of books devoted entirely to him. And, on top of all that, “Carring Iron” is the first COG story to be written by Peter Lampasona and illustrated by D.L. Johnson! Wow, that’s a lot of firsts. And it’s only the beginning…
“Carrying Iron” is out now in the eighth Oneshi Press comics anthology. Featuring the work of two dozen indie creators, these 120 pages will make readers think, possibly cry, and definitely smile. So check it out limited-edition trade paperback via the Oneshi Press online store! (Digital release coming soon!)
