XENA Warrior Princess meets The Lord of the Rings in GODFELL:
The Complete Series, where the sudden appearance of a dead god who falls to
Earth sets off a chain reaction of events for control of the world in this
woman warrior-led, high fantasy adventure.
God is dead. Who’s next?
One sunny day in the land of Kerethim, God falls dead from the sky. The impact
sends out shockwaves that draw in royal families at war, shadowy creatures of
the dark, and armies of the dispossessed, all coming to lay claim to parts of
God's body. Into this power struggle wanders Zanzi Vuiline, a soldier and
berserker trying to get home from a years-long war. Forced to fight her way
through the strange landscapes in and on God's corpse, from the soles of its
feet through the top of its head, Zanzi will acquire a mysterious traveling
companion on her own pilgrimage.
GODFELL: The Complete Series tells the story of a fierce
warrior woman tired of war and her traveling companion with her own reasons for
war weariness – and revenge. These two forces of nature are on a journey to
find their way back home – and to themselves. Written by Eisner Award-nominated
author Chris Sebela and illustrations by rising star artist Ben Hennessy.
For fans of: Xena: Warrior Princess, Monstress (Liu/Takeda), Red
Sonja, Barbaric (Moreci/Gooden), Queen of Swords (Moreci/Howell/Gooden), Briar,
Step By Bloody Step, The Witcher, Rat Queens, The Many Deaths of Laila Starr,

“Godfell is a big, savage blast of legendary warrior fiction. It
has a brilliant premise, striking artwork and fascinating protagonists.” – Eoin
Colfer (New York Times bestselling author of: Artemis
Fowl, The Supernaturalist, The Wish List, The Fowl Twins, Highfire, Illegal,
W.A.R.P., Ironman: The Gauntlet, Doctor Who: A Big Hand for the Doctor, and
more! )
“Godfell is that rare idea that makes me upset I didn’t hatch it
myself: an axe-swinging yet soulful journey into the mysteries of the physical
realm — and beyond.” — Daniel Kraus (New York Times bestselling
author of: The Shape of Water, Whalefall, The Teddies Saga, The Death
and Life of Zebulon Finch, Trollhunters, THE AUTUMNAL (Vault
Comics), THE CEMETERIANS (Vault Comics), and more!)
"Godfell is completely sweeping me away with its Odysseus-like
journey home through beautiful landscapes, with a rich lore and compelling
characters. It holds mysteries I can't wait to see resolved but I'll enjoy the
path as patiently as I can. A brilliant work by the creators!" - Nora
Twomey (award-winning animator, director, screenwriter, producer and voice
actress. Known for: Wolfwalkers, My Father’s Dragon, The Breadwinner,
The Secret of Kells)
“Fantasy doesn't get more epic than this! The mother of all quests begins
here!” -Cavan Scott (New York Times bestselling author and
screenwriter: Star Wars: The High Republic, Shadow Service, Doctor Who,
Sherlock Holmes, 2000 A.D.)
"Godfell ushers in an exciting new fantasy comic that is
electrifying and dynamic with a magnetic woman warrior on a mysterious journey.
Sebela takes well-worn genre beats and makes it his own. Wonderfully
illustrated and eloquently written, Godfell is a godsend.
10/10– Lotusland Comics
“… recommend picking this up if you’re a fan of fantasy adventures in weird
worlds such as The Last Airbender.” – Sequential Planet
BEN
HENNESSY Guest Post:
- Series
(TV/Streaming)
Band of Brothers – one of those perfect shows, I think editing this in
anyway would only ever result in it making it a lesser product. From the
script, the cinematography, to the performances, you name it they nailed it
here.
The last of Us – I loved this, another HBO gem. The casting, the
deviations from the game, all of it just added to the canon established in the
game. Can’t wait for S2! I actually covered this series in depth on a podcast I
host with a friend of mine called THE ODDS POD. If post-apocalyptic life is
something you’re into, our podcast is right up your alley.
Samurai Jack – It’s so enjoyable and always visually stunning. The
Shinobi v Jack episode is a masterclass in visual storytelling.
Arcane – this is one of the standout shows of the last number
of years for me. Just like Band of Brothers they just got everything right here
in every part of production.
Breaking Bad – This should
be studied by everyone making any kind
Kingdom – a medieval political drama with a zombie outbreak,
I’m in.
The Black Donnellys – I WISH there was a season 2 of this. I know too much
time has passed to go and do a season 2 now, but if the creators really wanted
to I’m sure the Donnelly family story could transition well to a graphic novel.
I put myself forward as artist for the series! Ha!
Blue Eye’d Samurai – If you haven’t seen this you need to.
Cowboy bebop – It’s so good I don’t think any show will ever be as
cool as the anime
The Bear – It’s one of the strongest shows out there, just look
at all the awards and nominations it has.
Andor – This might actually be the best Star Wars since Star
Wars.
- Video
Games
Gears of War – more monster movie type stuff, I reckon there’s a
bit of theme here! Ha!
The Witcher 3: the Wild Hunt
– I lost myself in this game for a while, I can’t
recommend it enough!
Rime – this is just a beautiful game that deals with some
big topics in a way that make them teachable and digestible.
Skyrim – Another game you can get lost in. It can be whatever
experience your after from the fantasy genre.
The Last of Us – One of the best zombie survival stories out there
- Does
GODFELL have a playlist? If so, can you share each of yours?
Ha! It sure does! I was listening to,
SLAYER’s God hates us all
The MANIC STREET PREACHERS Holy Bible.
TOO MANY ZOOS Brasshouse Vol 1 Survival of
the flyest
METALLICA master of puppets because of
course!
- Is
there anything else you’d like to share with readers/tour participants?
During the month of March on the run up to the release of GODFELL I’ll be doing live streams on my twitch channel (I’m Bennessy10 there). I’ll be drawing GODFELL characters, our heroes, the villains especially my favourite ones.
