Former Image sci-fi wet dream VESCELL is on WEBTOONS!


As we're closing in on the end of this decade, one of illest comics of the last ten years just became available to read online.  

I'm talm'bout VESCELL, the urban sci-fantasy mind-bender by Enrique Carrion and John Upchurch.

Here's some preview pages I copped from a post I wrote in 2012:

Here's the Sales Pitch
The International Company known as Vescell specializes in what is commonly known as 'Vtrans', the transferring of a person's mind and spirit from one body into another. Former Icarus City Detective, Mauricio 'Moo' Barrino is now Vescell's best agent, handling the most high profile and dangerous cases. In the seedy world of a high end corporate espionage, where mysticism and guns clash, and money is tainted with sin, Agent Mauricio Barrino fights against the demons of fate while trying to reach the heaven of his destiny. Be prepared for the bar-raising, sci-fi noir epic that is VESCELL.









Enrique Carrion has a mind for sci-fi.  

I particularly enjoy how he folds in all the bits of fantasy and future technology, but it feels familiar.

And your man John Upchurch is a beast on the art! 


Upchurch has populated the future with a plethora of brickhouse ladies, which should be applauded. Upchurch's art is always slick and impressive, and really compliments the writing rather than compete with it.

Vescell Agent Mauricio Barrino is a smooth, conflicted badass whose exploits deserve to be widely read. I can only assume that VESCELL had trouble finding an audience.  

When I became aware of this book, VESCELL was on issue 6 or 7, so I expected it to be around for awhile, but I was wrong. I have my suspicions that the reasons were not based on the writing or art, which are both incredible.

Have great day!
