The Rippaverse continues its upward momentum, and this time, it’s breaking ground with something brand new—its first-ever anthology, Saints & Sinners. In just 26 hours, the compilation comic surged past the $100,000 revenue mark, showing that there’s a massive appetite for bold, independent storytelling beyond the traditional comic book gatekeepers.

As of this writing, Saints & Sinners has racked up over $144,000 in sales with 4,064 books sold—a staggering figure for a creator-owned title that doesn’t rely on the advertising machine of Disney’s Marvel or Warner Bros. Discovery’s DC Comics. The success is a major win for the indie comic book scene and a testament to the Rippaverse’s passionate fanbase.

Described as a collection of six unforgettable tales that explore the gray areas of morality, Saints & Sinners delves into stories of vengeance, obsession, redemption, and the supernatural. This is not the safe, sanitized storytelling you find in the mainstream—this is a universe teeming with mystery, divine forces, and characters who operate far from the conventional superhero mold.

Together, this lineup offers a wide-ranging set of stories that blend dynamic visuals with philosophical themes, delivering a true celebration of what makes the Rippaverse so distinct.

“It’s about exploring the space between good and evil,” said Eric July when describing the anthology. “We want readers to think, to question, to engage.”

That engagement is clearly working. Unlike traditional comic publishers locked in endless reboots and forced messaging, the Rippaverse thrives on giving creators freedom and giving fans what they actually want: great characters, solid storytelling, and beautiful art.

As crowdfunding continues to outperform industry expectations, one thing is clear—the future of comics isn’t just in the hands of billion-dollar conglomerates. It’s also in the hands of creators brave enough to do it on their own terms.
