Flesh and Blood Everfest 1st Edition Booster Box releases Friday February 4th, 2022

Launch: February 4, 2022

Step right up, step right up! The greatest show in Rathe is coming to a town near you! Everfest is a supplementary booster set, designed to expand constructed play with new cards for every hero in the game.

Within the bustling grounds of the Everfest carnival, all fashion of performers, peddlers, and frolicking fun is to be found. Will you find fun, fame, or good fortune in the carnival slot of your Everfest booster pack, or perhaps take center stage and become the star of the show?

A World First!

Everfest continues to shine the spotlight on the strong environmental themes of Aria, putting sustainability center stage as the world’s first full production trading card game product featuring fully recyclable paper booster wrappers!

Production scale paper flowwraps have been years in the making. In partnership with Cartamundi, we are proud to be the industry leader in material sustainability for the trading card game industry.

Starting with Everfest first edition, Flesh and Blood booster packs manufactured at Cartamundi Belgium will use paper wrappers whenever possible. We are aiming for all Flesh and Blood boosters to eventually use paper flowwraps, however it will take some time for all our manufacturers to implement this change. As such, fans should expect some future Flesh and Blood booster packs to continue to have plastic flowwraps.

100% of Everfest first edition features paper wrappers, and we are proud of it!

STEP BY BLOODY STEP #1 (OF 4)

IMAGE COMICS

(W) Simon Spurrier (A) Matias Bergara, Matheus Lopes

An armored giant and a helpless child. Together they cross an astonishing world brimming with beasts, bandits, and-deadliest by far-civilizations…  If they stop walking, the earth itself forces them onwards. WHY? The child can’t ask. She and her guardian have no language, no memory, nothing-except each other.
Multiple-Eisner nominees SI SPURRIER (X-Men), MATIAS BERGARA (Coda), and MATHEUS LOPES (Supergirl) present a watershed moment in modern comics: four double-length chapters of a bittersweet fantasy opus, completely text free.
Let’s take a walk.
“STEP BY BLOODY STEP may be my new favorite comic. SPURRIER, BERGARA, and LOPES have created something that celebrates everything comics can be: mysterious, inventive, bursting with imagination and also incredibly heartfelt without ever saying a word.” -JEFF LEMIRE

— A Personal Note from Simon Spurrier about STEP BY BLOODY STEP —
Hey there! Happy new year, and welcome to the first comicbook sensation of 2022.

That’s no idle boast. STEP BY BLOODY STEP is going to entrance any fan of Saga or Isola; anyone who loves Moebius and boundless sci-fi or fantasy; anyone who believes comics can be entertaining, heartwarming and badass… whilst also being true works of art. 

This is the book you give folks when you need to prove there’s magic in comics. It’s a story about a scared little girl and an ultraviolent giant, plus a looot of monsters—yet it’s composed as a symphony for the eye. It is, in a word, spellbinding.

There is no dialogue in this book. But SBBS isn’t some pretentious experiment. It drips with plot, character and intrigue. We wanted to pop the hood on sequential narrative and show off what our miraculous medium can do. A text-free world absorbs the reader. It’s an intense, savage fantasy experience whose core mystery will keep your customers hooked to the end.

My last collaboration with Matias Bergara, Coda, picked up awards and nominations everywhere it went. We pushed fantasy to its limits. Step By Bloody Step goes further.

The first arc is four double-sized issues: incredible value for money. We’re a long way ahead in production, so no danger of skips. We have variants by Jock, Peach Momoko, James Harren, Ian Bertram, Tula Lotay, Jamie McKelvie… It’s the full package.

Creators have been buzzing since we shared the first issue. It’s Jeff Lemire’s “new favorite comic.” Scott Snyder called it a “stunning feat of visual storytelling.” It even achieved the impossible and left Kieron Gillen “speechless.” I could go on. We’ve poured our hearts and souls into crafting a unique journey. It’s our great pleasure to invite you to come walk with us. 

This February, there are no words.
