Article Summary

Spero Toys' Animal Warriors Of The Kingdom action figures land in comic shops.
Kickstarted comic book series expands the AWOK universe with issue releases.
First comic issue available digitally for free as physical copies sell out.
Comic series debuts in comic stores March 2024, spotlighting hero Pale's journey.

Spero Toy Enterprise has successfully crowdfunded a number of action figure lines, including Animal Warriors Of The Kingdom featuring animal humanoid warriors. Hence the name. Meant to bring back the look and feel of beloved '80s and early '90s action figure era The Kingdom, they also created a spinoff comic book series of the same name to flesh out the concept. Saying "Readers will learn about the world our heroes and villains inhabit and experience the adventure alongside the series main protagonist Pale, in order to thwart the plans of the vile Emperor Kah Lee!"

They have released four comic book issues available physically and digitally on their website but as of March 2024, they will be coming to comic book stores in the direct market, through Diamond Comic Distributors. The first issue solicitation is below, from writer Jason Bienvenu and artist Utama Prastha. The first issue is sold out from the website, but the subsequent three are available and the first issue is made available digitally for free. Will this bring a wider audience to Animal Warriors Of The Kingdom, or will AWOK bring a wider audience to comic book stores?

The Great Houses of the Animal Kingdom are in shambles. A tyrannical ruler has all but consolidated his complete control over the land and sea. With the impending fall of the last resistance stronghold, the flame of hope is almost extinguished. One last beacon of light is all that remains of the once robust resistance-a young ape named Pale, whose quest to mend the fractured trust between the great animal houses will be tested as he seeks to neutralize, Emperor Kah Lee!
