The RippaZine is back by popular demand, and the RippaZine’s wicked awesome second issue is now available! You might be thinking this is another surprise that has been dropped out of nowhere, but it is our sworn duty at the Rippaverse to bring excitement and enthusiasm back to comic book fans! The debut issue of the RippaZine was released alongside the sensational Yaira #1 campaign and quickly became a smashing success with exclusive interviews, preview pages for Isom #1, Isom #2, Alphacore #1, and Yaira #1, articles from our Rippaverse heroes (and villains), and a brand-new short story comic book introducing an all-new Except into the Rippaverse, The Salvage! And you loved it and asked for more, and the Rippaverse is always here to deliver to the fans. Surprise drops like this one and Goodyng: The Polymath is our way of bringing some fun back to our beloved supporters and fans, new and old. If you loved the premiere issue of the RippaZine, we turn up the heat with issue two!

LETTER FROM OUR EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

No Rippaverse book is complete without a word from the man who started it all, our owner, creator, and editor-in-chief, Eric July. We start with our appreciation to you, our fans, for being here and our promises to be great together.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH NERDROTIC

The second issue has an exclusive interview with the million-subscriber-man, Gary, also lovingly known as Nerdrotic. If you love comic book culture, pop culture, films, and TV, you are certainly familiar with this Godfather of Geekdom, and if you do not yet know him, get ready to discover your new favorite streamer. From local comic book shop owner to struggling addict to pop culture commentator and comic book icon, Gary has lived one hell of a life, and he has a new biography that takes you through it all and back again. His new book is as real as it gets, and we talk all about it and his incredible life in this issue.

ART TUTORIAL FROM CAANAN WHITE

The great art director for the Rippaverse, Caanan White, has an amazing and easy-to-follow art tutorial for aspiring artists of every level. Ever wonder what it would be like to draw for comic books? Get yourself a pencil and some paper and follow along with these brilliant instructions from this astounding creator and awaken the artist inside you. At the Rippaverse, we are always looking for new talent. We have held three open Art Contests, and all three grand prize winners have gone on to do paid work for the Rippaverse. Hone those skills!

GOODYNG: THE POLYMATH – CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT

The latest Rippaverse hero to get his moment to shine in our character spotlight is none other than Goodyng! Did you grab the legendary Mike Baron’s debut book with the Rippaverse, Goodyng: The Polymath? Our very first Rippaverse collection was a smashing success, and we sold out of Covers A, B, and even C! Our only mass print cover is Cover D, by the wonderful Mark Evans, and it is still available and will continue to be so in the Rippaverse online store. Goodyng made his mark when he was first introduced in Isom #2 (also still available to pick up) when he arrived just in time to save Avery’s Silman Ranch from going up in unnatural flames. Get to know this eclectic genius in his own spotlight article that shines some light on just who Cato Goodyng is.
