First Look at All 8 Covers for Stonebot's Machine Girl and Angela Della Morte From Red 5 Comics

The following is a sponsored post:

Red 5 Comics and Stonebot Studios are launching two new comics in November, Machine Girl and Angela della Morte, both first published as webcomics on www.stonebotcomics.com, now to be brought to print and distributed by Diamond through Red 5 Comics. The covers for the first issue of each were revealed in Red 5's November solicitations, but Bleeding Cool has got the EX-X-XCLUSIVE reveal of the covers for the remaining three issues of each book!

A press release tells us more about Machine Girl:

Machine Girl is going to be published in print for the first time in any language and territory. It started in 2010 as a side project for authors Sergio Monjes and Matts, alongside their other daily obligations. The idea was to tell a fun and adventurous story, full of action and bizarre characters, with a very direct premise: Megan, a very powerful girl, human-like, fights monsters in space. Simple as that.

The project was conceived as a short story, but quickly evolved into a longer graphic novel. Once Sergio started the designs and the art, the story began to take its own road. But it wasn't an easy ride at all. It suffered many delays in production because of the other jobs from its authors, as well as storytelling changes to help the narrative and development of Megan and the other characters. Sergio, in fact, redrew the first 12 pages completely at some point as he was not happy with the result of the first chapter.

Filling the gaps on the story, adding new sequences, changing scenes, dialogues and texts, it took almost 6 full years to have the whole book done! The incorporation of talented colorist Moncho Bunge to the team helped to speed up the process and finish the graphic novel.

First published as a webcomic in 2017 in www.stonebotcomics.com, the first 12 pages saw print for the first time as part of "StoneBot Comics Presents", a preview ashcan book exclusively printed for NYCC that same year. After that, RED 5 Comics became interested in fully publishing the miniseries, and after a whole new set of covers was done specially for their edition, the first issue of Machine Girl will see some action on November on comic stores all over the US.

And here's all the covers for Machine Girl #1-4:

And here's the deal with Angela della Morte, from the press release:

Angela della Morte is the brainchild of Salvador Sanz, a renowned comic book artist that is quite a success in South America and Europe and is finally landing in the American market. His work usually explores the dark horrors of the human soul, with mankind trying to cope with a devastated world and unnerving creatures. His body of work is in black and white, and for the new edition it will incorporate stunning color by Gonzalo Duarte. In Salvador Sanz's own words, "Angela della Morte was born in 2005, when I was looking for a female character who would have the ability to change bodies as if she was changing clothes. In her first episode, her soul nested in the body of a suicide bomber before a terrorist attack, and after the bombing, her conscience returned to her original body. The flesh could be discarded and replaced by a scientific procedure by the sinister organization that employed Angela. Suddenly I found myself talking about the immortality of the soul, about death as a biological creature, and evil as a cancer that could be removed from our consciences through a surgical operation. Angela's universe is expanding more and more in time and geographically. After being published in Argentina, Spain and Brazil, I am very grateful to RED 5 Comics and StoneBot for bringing this story to American readers, and in color for the first time".
