Kicked Out Of The Kingdom!

In the world of Salvager Kain, everyone "on the outside" is an exile of The Kingdom, a great veiled empire that seems defended and defined only by its impenetrable, infinite wall.

Some outcasts struggle to get back in, some struggle to survive being cast out, but all have to cope with the same induced condition: wiped memories of one's life inside, and an overwhelming yearning to return.

On the plus side, though, it's not a lot of baggage to carry...!

Kain's story begins like all the others' -- dragged out and left with just the clothes on his back. He doesn't know anything of who he was before, or if he'll live long enough to answer who he'll be tomorrow. Stuck wandering between a deep, deadly forest and the endless wall of the empire, Kain faces monsters and other "rejects", struggling to find the basics for survival while staving off the hungry, the desparate, the corrupt and the cut-throat he meets along the way.

The odds aren't good; it seems like nature itself is actually betting he'll fail. Kain's only hope of survival is to salvage new strengths, from whatever he can find... and to avoid the crazies, wherever possible. And if he's really lucky, maybe someday he'll learn why any of them are out there... if he can stay alive that long!

Salvager Kain is my newest ongoing minicomic series, and each issue tells a self-contained story. While I recommend you start reading from the beginning, you should be able to jump in and pick up the story at any issue.

Here's what some people have said online about Salvager Kain

"Aspiring comic artists, take note: if you’re looking to make an impression, you could do a lot worse than to follow in the footsteps of this guy. What we have here is an excellent setup for a series... the art, it’s tremendous. Paul has a serious lock on facial expressions (useful for illustrating what are essentially a bunch of blank slates trying to figure out the world) and the whole thing is just gorgeous. I can only guess that he keeps himself chained to his drawing table, as what else explains this impressive productivity? ...from the first issue this looks like something well worth checking out."
