This November Arcana Studios is proud to present the return of the very talented Steve Uy, the creator of Feather. Steve returns to creator-owned comics with Jova’s Harvest, a 3 issue ethical drama told entirely in rhyme.
Jova is a Harvester, a servant of heaven charged with the task of preserving the mortal world by preventing Armageddon. Stuck in the mortal world below, he maintains Heaven’s dominance over Hell by facilitating the deaths of good people and collecting their souls.
Once every century, the gates to Hell open and Jova is charged the task of sealing them by vanquishing the devil himself, his own beloved brother, Luci, in a debilitating war of attrition.
For millennia Jova has accomplished his mission, but this century, things are about to change. His sister, an angel of Heaven, has secretly sold her soul to Luci so that she may live in the mortal world with her estranged brother…
Arcana has been keeping this book a secret and Sean O’Reilly, Arcana’s EIC, was extremely excited to be working with Steve Uy, “Steve is one of those unique individuals who is a one man show as he creates, writes and does his own art. I read Feather and was simply FLOORED by what he was able to accomplish. To work with someone of his experience, caliber and ability is simply incredible and something I really do value. Also, Steve has also NEVER been late…this a HUGE asset to publishers and was literally the icing on the cake.”
Issue #1 of Jova’s Harvest will come out in November by Arcana Studios and will be a 40-page DOUBLE sized issue. The following two single-sized issues will be released monthly thereafter.
