The Hit Card Game Comes To Life In It’s First Comic
OCTOBER 6th, 2026 – 8amPST, (LOS ANGELES, CA) — The comics industry and it’s fans are always looking for the next big thing. They need look no further. Today at 8amPST/ 11amEST the next big thing in comics is launching. Viva Reyn The Comic Book from writer/artist JC Barba launches on the Zoop crowdfunding platform.
Barba has worked as an artist in several media based industries for decades. He has published books on anatomy, teaches classes, and is followed by some of the biggest names in comics on his 125,000 follower Instagram account. Some of these followers include J. Scott Campbell, Alex Ross, Shawn Crystal, JonBoy Meyers, Eric Basaldua and other veteran comic artists. So what is it they know, that the rest of the comics fandom should get on board with?
It’s Barba’s storytelling through his art. His anatomy. His motion. His character design. It all comes together in the universe he created for Viva Reyn. Originally created as a card game with a huge underground following, there has been massive demand for a comic featuring the same characters and world building.
Viva Reyn the comic book is the first chapter story featuring the characters: Solar Puff, Rafael Jackson, Tambo Kong and Reyn Fernandez all trained super fighters who are on a mission to make their first public appearance at the infamous Underdome Tournament. Except Reyn has abandoned the mission, vanished and wants nothing to do with the fighting life.
This campaign will be the first time ever that the Viva Reyn comic will be made available. Barba is offering variant covers, signed editions, sketch opportunities, original art from Viva Reyn, and more. Fans are encouraged to back the campaign early to take advantage of early bird specials, and to get first dibs on limited items.
