“Clan of the Vein: The Girl of Hy Brasil” Wants You!

by Kimmie Chameleon:

The powerhouse trio of Clan of the Vein has officially launched their Kickstarter campaign. Now is your chance to be a part of something unlike anything else. Neil D’Monte, Neo Edmund, and Neal Fischer (N3 for short) are on the path to bring Clan of the Vein to the big screen, but first desire to offer us a graphic novel prequel to the movie.

“Clan of the Vein: Girl of Hy Brasil” gives us a glimpse into the unnerving life of vampire Ian MacBane. As described on their Kickstarter website:

Clan of the Vein is an action-packed graphic novel about Ian MacBane – history’s most deadly vampire turned vampire assassin. Fueled by relentless determination, MacBane tirelessly hunted the world for countless centuries until he had exterminated every last vampire. With his quest seemingly complete, he became damned to live an immortal existence as a warrior without a war. Taking refuge in an ancient castle on an uncharted island off Hy Brasil, where he survived on an alchemic serum that suppressed his thirst for human blood.

His isolation ends when a squad of vampires called the Children of Judas attack. His belief that he had exterminated the vampire menace was dead wrong. The last remaining vampires have joined forces to locate an ancient artifact that would give birth to a new generation of monsters. The location of this lost artifact is locked deep in the abyss of MacBane’s forgotten past and his enemies will stop at nothing to force him to remember.

N3: Neo Edmund, Neil D’Monte, and Neal Fischer

Co-authored by Neo Edmund, (author of A Tale of Red Riding: Rise of the Werewolf Huntress) and Neil D’Monte, (artist: The Mummy, Day of the Dead, Bunraku) this relentlessly action-jammed story destroys the sparkly image of vampires in recent fiction and replaces it with the gritty folklore from various cultures across the world. These vampires are truly monstrous, and no two species die the same.

Jason Walton (colorist) joins in with Neil D’Monte to create the elaborate action sequences in the book, and producer/editor Neal Fischer (Sushi Girl) lends his guidance to the team. Incentives for helping fund this project include:

• Digital downloads of the CLAN OF THE VEIN: The Girl of Hy Brasil -graphic novel.
• Signed copies of the CLAN OF THE VEIN graphic novel.
• A limited edition 8 x 10, black and white lithograph by Neil D’Monte.

• Autographed postcards from Neil D’Monte and friends
• Limited Edition T-Shirts

Clan of the Vein will redefine our romantic ideas of what have vampires have become. It is time to return to the roots of their ancient mythos and propagate an entirely new vision with this wisdom. Join the Clan and score some truly unique rewards. Time is ticking, so don’t delay!!!
