Award-winning franchise expands with Issues #5 & #6 and a collected hardcover edition

Ratti Entertainment, in partnership with Wise Acre Comics, is excited to announce the Kickstarter pre-launch campaign for Black Salt: The Last Heroes Left, a martial arts comic series that fuses espionage, action, and
Afro-Asian storytelling. The campaign will fund the completion of Issues #5 and #6 and compile all six issues into a deluxe hardcover graphic novel.

The Black Salt franchise has already made waves across multiple mediums. What began as a comic series grew into an HBO-licensed short film and later a video game demo that earned top industry honors, including the
Spotlight Award at GDC and Best Action Game – Indie Playground at DreamHack Dallas.

“Black Salt has always been about representation, action, and storytelling with global appeal,”

Owen Ratliff

Our goal with this Kickstarter is to give fans the complete story in a premium hardcover edition. The campaign has already earned Kickstarter’s prestigious Project We Love badge and is building strong early momentum with over 354 pre-launch followers. The goal is to reach 500 followers before launch to ensure the campaign explodes out of the gate.

Fans can view the teaser trailer and click Notify Me on Launch on the Kickstarter pre-launch page to show support. This simple action helps increase visibility and signals demand for diverse, independent comics.
