Product Details
Overview
From Rippaverse Creative Manager Andrew Rodriguez—his creator-owned debut. Arcstream: False Start #1 introduces Zephyr Arland.
Zephyr Arland comes from a family of speedsters. He's the one who false-starts. A student at North Florespark High in the years after the Great War of Separation redrew the map, Zephyr is in over his head: what started as an offer of guidance has revealed itself to be something else entirely, and the gap between who his family expects him to be and what he can actually do keeps getting wider. On the track, a false start costs you the race. Out there, it can cost a lot more.
Arcstream: False Start is a three-issue limited series with a clean reading arc—the first issue sets the stage, #2 (early 2027) deepens the conflict, and #3 (spring 2027) brings the series home. A coming-of-age superhero story for teen readers, and the first creator-owned series from inside the Rippaverse's own creative team. It joins The Detention Crew in the line's growing teen lane—56 pages, rated for teen readers.
From writer Andrew Rodriguez—Creative Manager at Rippaverse Publishing—with interior art by RippaFest winner Lee Sands and colors by veteran colorist Andrew Dalhouse—a debut creative team for a debut hero, launched from inside the line.
