The pre-launch page for the new BloodRayne comic series is now live, and the campaign is set to launch in the first quarter of 2027. The crowdfunding campaign will celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary, with many surprises and announcements to come! Fans can sign up to be notified at launch and back all-new stories from Rayne's life. Pledge rewards include Kickstarter-exclusive editions of the #1 issue, exclusive variant covers by all-star artists (to be revealed), and BloodRayne merchandise available only through the BloodRayne comic rebirth 25th anniversary campaign!
The 2027 comic series is written by Kevin Roditeli (POSTAL, SWAT Kats) and drawn by artist BRÄO (The Crow, Penthouse Comics). Beyond the main story, the book will feature expanded-universe stories by writer Felipe Cagno (The Few and Cursed) which will lead to a larger worldwide threat in the BloodRayne universe, with assistance from BloodRayne lore builder Andy Lanning (Guardians of the Galaxy, Punisher: Year One) and Ant Williams (X-Men, Deadpool). The creative team is rounded out by comics veterans letterer/designer Serge LaPointe (Assassin’s Creed, Christopher Nolan’s Batman) and editor Chris Stevens (Lost Fantasy, Marvel Artbooks).
The new comic book series is produced by Roditeli Productions, the comic studio led by CEO and Creative Director Kevin Roditeli that specializes in bringing beloved entertainment properties to comics through crowdfunding. Its SWAT Kats - First Ever Comic Book campaign raised more than $1,000,000 from over 7,000 backers, setting the record for the biggest single-issue comic Kickstarter of all time. Earlier this year, the campaign repeated its success with bringing another beloved video game property, POSTAL, to comics in partnership with Running With Scissors. It became the biggest debut issue for a video game comic adaptation on Kickstarter. Now, it is BloodRayne's turn.
"Rayne has been slicing through the action horror genre since 2002, and her fans have stuck with her the whole way,” says Alex Lotz, Managing Producer at Ziggurat Interactive. “Partnering with Roditeli Productions lets us give those fans something they've been asking for: new stories, told by a team that knows how to make a comic campaign special."
"Rayne is one of gaming's great antiheroes that collectively influenced a generation,” says Kevin Roditeli, writer and Creative Director, Roditeli Productions. “Her influence as a character is still resonating in games, films and comics to this date. We had no other choice but to bring her back to comics for the 25th anniversary of the franchise. She is a pop culture icon that deserves to be present in comics ongoingly, and that’s what we want to accomplish. She is back to stay!”
