All Four Artists For Russia's Bubble Comics Launches In January Are Women

It appears to be Russian day today on Bleeding Cool. Not only do we have the new trailer for Guardians, not only are we still responding to those supposed leaks, but we also a first look at Bubble Comics new lineup for January.

Four new superhero titles have been added to the lineup – Allies, Igor Grom, Demonslayer and Realmwalkers.

And of the four writer-artist teams, all four have female artists and one has an all-female team. It's the kind of artistic credit spread that would rock the Bleeding Cool Gendercrunching numbers. But in Russia… it's just the norm.

And to show that Bubble Comics isn't just about the women, and they are willing to employ token male artists as well, Mateus Santolouco of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Dial H has drawn variant connecting covers for all four first issues of their new titles. Together these four images coloured by Marcelo Costa and Mateus Santolouco form one epic picture showing all the main characters from Bubble Comics – the comic

Here are the four new titles.

But in the end the evil won.
Nika had lost everything she fought for… She will never get her old life back but she must move forward. Now she has to gain back her strength, overcome the pain, defeat her inner demons – and begin the new war.

After taking on a mission of saving the planet, Demonslayer gathered a team of like-minded individuals that help him fight forces of evil! Little imp from Hell called Sneak, the shaman Black Hound, the witch Queen of the Rot, the homeless girl Yana and the living nightmare Balor that lives inside her mind – this magical squad doesn't look like your typical heroes but they are the last hope of the Earth in the face of the demon invasion!

Major Igor Grom was the best policeman of Saint Petersburg… until the war on crime didn't break him completely. Grom had lost a woman he loved, his friends and colleagues – and, worst of all, he lost himself…
But Igor isn't giving up. He pulls himself together and gets back to what he joined the police for – helping people and saving Saint Petersburg. And even after falling to the very bottom he is going to open his city from new, unpredictable sides and see right into its dark soul. Maybe that's where he will find the answers he's looking for.

Realmwalkers

Genre: fantasy adventure
Writers: Roman Kotkov and Evgeniy Fedotov
Artist: Anna Rud
Colorist: Anastasia Troitskaya
First issue cover: Ivan Elyasov
Variant cover: Mateus Santolouco and Marcelo Costa
We've got two kinds of news: a fantastic one and an even more fantastic one.
First of all, our Earth is just a part of the Collar of Worlds that consists of many parallel worlds. And, second of all, the gods that you read about in myths and legends actually exist. And any world that they visit will be destroyed in an apocalypse!
But don't worry: there are heroes that will not let that happen. The universe is protected by the Realmwalkers – the mighty warrior of the ancient lineage Andrey Radov and his wife Kseniya that can control plants and their friend – the former Ivan Tsarevich who transformed into the Grey Wolf. Whenever one of the Earths gets a divine intervention, our trio immediately races to help! And their coordinators in this journey are the deathless ruler of Eden Koschei and Vasilisa the Wisest that observe the Collar from the edge of the Universe.
Each new world is unlike the previous, each new monster is more dangerous – but the Realmwalkers are no weaklings either. They have magical abilities and incredible weapons – but the most important thing they have is themselves. Together this team can defeat any enemy and save all the worlds from annihilation… if they don't get tired of each other first…

Here's how the four variant covers slot together… and Mateus Santolouco at New York Comic Con!
