Due to this, their first issue out the gate contains three different print covers. It's truly a birthday blowout! Amazon hasn't linked the different versions, so I will here.
Check them out below.
Cover by Anton Oxenuk |
Cover by Genzoman |
Cover by P. Alexander (Yes, that's Chen from Touhou) |
Not only have they gone all out with covers, but the stories themselves are truly something different, as well. They really went for variety in this one.
For their Spring 2021 issue they have given out quite the buffet of content: a serialization, short stories, a poem, and a comic book! This is the most explosive issue yet!
Here is the description:
The Artomique Paradigm (Part 1 of 3)
By MICHAEL TIERNEY
Earth is now in contact with their intergalactic cousins! But during recent conflicts with aliens and pirates, the Artomiques, fascist refugees from an alternate timeline, have become Terra’s dominant faction using stolen Wild Stars technology!
The Grain Merchant of Alomar
By JIM BREYFOGLE
The Mongoose & Meerkat have set up in the city of Alomar—in spare rooms of a wealthy merchant who has no idea they’re living there, even after he’s hired them!
Devil’s Deal
By MICHAEL WIESENBERG
A gambler and a wannabe cardsharp, Henry finally has an Ace up his sleeve: the ability to see a moment into the future—a diabolical gift from the Devil Himself!
The Book of Dark Sighs
By ROBERT ZOLTAN
Dareon and Blue, the Rogues of Merth, find themselves in the crosshairs of an old foe! They must find for him a powerful tome, or Blue’s love will perish at his hand!

The fearsome legions of the God Badaxe are on the march, cleaving a bloody swath through the magical land of Pangaea. Countless villages have been burnt to the ground, their young male populations examined and beheaded. Somewhere, a boy with a strange birthmark on his right palm poses a deadly threat to the most powerful being on Pangea—if he is allowed to reach maturity!
So with this issue you are getting quite a grab bag of high quality fiction. Cirsova definitely isn't resting on its laurels this year.
Once again, you can find the new issue here.
Of course, don't forget that Cirsova are also running a crowdfund for a lost space romance adventure from the son of Nathaniel Hawthorne! If they reach the last stretch goal (of which they are in striking range!) they will be able to restore more lost classics! Be sure to back it today!
Have you read all these? I'm thinking about backing the Cosmic Courtship, but know very little about the author or his work.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, I thought you might be interested in this nearly-lost almost-a-show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-iO6wPHC_A
I've bought every issue of Cirsova so far, but my copy of this one hasn't come in yet.
DeleteAs for Cosmic Courtship, I mostly backed it out of trust for the publisher. They have very good taste when it comes to story selection.
Thanks for the link!
OK no problem. That's good to know they have good taste.
DeleteYou're welcome! I was thinking with your love for old and under-appreciated things that channel would appeal to you. I suspect there's plenty more of that.
