If you like your fantasy stories with a healthy amount of adult humor and sex appeal, then you'll want to keep an eye out for Real Hero Shit. This upcoming graphic novel from cartoonist Kendra Wells (Tell No Tales: Pirates of the Seven Seas) promises to put a fresh, hilarious and even raunchy spin on the classic questing formula.
With the Kickstarter drive for Real Hero Shit launching today, IGN can present an exclusive preview of this hilarious new comic. Check it out in the slideshow gallery below [warning – some slightly NSFW content ahead]:
Real Hero Shit is being published through Spike Trotman's Iron Circus Comics. Trotman herself is famed for the long-running web comic Templar, Arizona and the Smut Peddler anthology series, and is among the most prolific comic publishers on Kickstarter.
Here's the official description for the book:
In REAL HERO SHIT, people are going missing in a small mountain town, and the city guards are blocked from a real investigation. The notorious Underguild has assigned Michel a secret mission: find the missing villagers and bring whatever kidnapped them to justice. Unfortunately for Michel and his fellow adventurers, Ani and Hocus, they’re short a fighter and need one more party member to foil this plot. Even more unfortunately, the only volunteer seems to be the arrogant, ostentatious, purple playboy Prince Eugene looking to cure his boredom.
Covert is not a concept that Prince Eugene is familiar with, and let’s just say his commitment to the mission is questionable. Every day is basically spring break for Eugene, but outside the palace walls he crashes into a hard reality: the system that kept him safe in his silk-sheeted bed isn't particularly concerned with the well-being of anyone who isn't him. Eugene will have to level-up his awareness if he means to be a real hero, and time is running short!
The Real Hero Shit Kickstarter is live now and runs through the end of October.
If that's not enough to satiate your desire for goofy fantasy, we recently got a closer look at Amazon's Critical Role animated series at NYCC. Alongside their new animated show, the Critical Role team will begin their third campaign this month, October 21.
