The Redeemers is a story written by Eric Rampson and is set to be printed by Ronin Studios. The story follows an up-and-coming Chicago rock band, whose growing fan base is not only due to how much they can rock, but because of how amazing their live show is! The special effects, the storytelling, the costumes! Or so it seems. The Redeemers actually all have REAL supernatural powers and are regularly challenged at their shows by demonic forces!
This was an incredibly fun page to do. Designing the groupiezord was challenging, trying to evoke a certain sexiness and also not to lean too far towards Gundam Wing and Power Rangers. Dex and Gabe's reaction to her was great fun, too. I asked a friend of mine whose lived in Japan to translate "Groupie Zord" to kanji for me, so those symbols are as close to a literal translation as possible.
