The
dieselpunk world of Hoang Nguyen's CARBON GREY first dazzled comic book
readers with its beautiful painted art, intrigue-fueled action, and
compelling heroines in August 2011 with the "Sisters at War" story arc.
Now, Nguyen has assembled his creative team once more to continue the
story of the Sisters Grey with the publication of CARBON GREY VOLUME
TWO: DAUGHTERS OF STONE #1 in June.
At the close of volume one, the sisters' relationship was torn apart by the murder of the Kaiser of Mitteleuropa, the man whom they were sworn to protect. Now, with Eva and Giselle in exile and the vicious Anna on the hunt for conspirators, the fourth Grey, Mathilde, is on a quest to discover the truth about the source of her family's power.

A Kickstarter
campaign to fund the production of the new volume of CARBON GREY
reached its funding goal on April 14. Nguyen explained that both the
intensity of the artistic process, with each page meticulously
hand-painted, and the depth of research behind the creation of CARBON
GREY necessitated the campaign.
"A lot of research goes into every page, whether it's a costume designs or different settings," said Nguyen. "I want to make sure that it's believable. My inspirations comes from looking at fashion, photography, architecture, industrial and set design. I like to go beyond the norm and bring something new and different to my drawings."
