Sneak Peek from Breakaway
Once again the story is written by Yomi Ayeni, edited by Corey Brotherson, and art is by Jennie Gyllblad.
It has been years since the onset of the Dark Winter, and Victorian society is finally getting to grips with living in smoke.
A lifetime of burning fuels to power the big mechanical machines, coupled with diverse weather conditions created a deadly pea-souper that plunged the world into darkness.
Time has moved on…
Yes, that’s right, Clockwork Watch is packing its collective bags and jetting off to the United States in July 2013 where the team of Yomi, Jennie and Corey will be selling copies of The Arrival and Breakaway at Comic-Con International in San Diego. This is one of the biggest comic book and sci-fi conventions in the world, with well over 130,000 people attending each year, from eager showgoers and talented creators, to big-shot Hollywood actors and directors looking to promote their latest movies.
It’s an honour to have been selected among the tons of those who applied and we’ll look forward to seeing you there if you can make it! We’ll have more info on which table we’ll be seated at closer to the time.
“this project is definitely one to watch and, more importantly, get involved in.” – Geeks Unleashed!
It’s always great to have a good review, but sometimes it goes much further than a few column inches. While Clockwork Watch is a Steampunk story, it’s more about engaging participants in co-creation and storytelling. Thanks to the guys at Geeks Unleashed – you rock!

Comic News Insider Interview
We hooked up with Jimmy Aquino of the Comic News Insider while we were at the Bristol Comic Expo. You can listen to his interview here
Yayy! Another action packed weekend. We finally had our industry launch – at the Bristol Comic Expo. Corey, Jennie and Yomi had a table at the show, as well as a panel discussion. We sat alongside the Barry and David of Geek Syndicate, the Markosia family, and Kill Shakespeare.
The interest in The Arrival and the whole project was very encouraging. We’re fired-up and looking forward to many of the challenges associated with producing a new project such as Clockwork Watch.
We’d like to thank Harry Markos, Matt Gibbs, Doctor Geof, Conor McCreery, Anthony Del Col, Jimmy Aquino, and James Pearson (Bayou Arcana).
Here are some pictures and a short video…

When the show was over, we went to the pub… 😉
A much awaited trip to the pub
And here we move on to the last of our main characters in The Arrival…
Chan Ranbir
Chan Ranbir
Chan is very much a driving force of The Arrival – for both the right and wrong reasons. A short-tempered genius, the father of the Ranbirs is stern, influential and a figure who looms over the family’s future.
Chan wants two things – for Clockwork to be a success, and to have his family part of that. In some respects he thinks that’s one and the same, and as such it creates one of the major problems for the family.
Reading Yomi’s original script made Chan into a very harsh figure. Which is perfectly natural. The Arrival is told through the eyes of his son, Janav, who only sees the move to England not in terms of building a future, but as a destruction of the young boy’s past. And as we take in the story through the perceptions of a slightly bitter eight-year-old, Chan comes across as a bit of an ogre. However, deconstructing that reveals a man driven by his passion to be a father to a better society, rather than merely being a simple obstacle for Janav to overcome.
Chan Ranbir, Master Kineticist
True, Chan can be seen as overbearing, but the intriguing thing that stood out when peeling back the layers of his character is that he is a man of the future. He is such an important part of the Clockwork Watch universe – a main cog, if you will – that he is one of the few characters in the story who has his eyes firmly set on what’s yet to come.
Which is the biggest problem for Chan. After all, the large irony of a man who has his sights on everything ahead of him, tends to be short-sighted to the things closest to him…
