Book Overview
Forum: Enchanted Explorer
Enchanted Explorer is being produced by Milos Slavkovic. “Enchanted explorer is a graphic novel devised to explore into that rarely described parts of fantasy worlds: the dating of fantasy creatures.” According to Milos this work “is by no means an adult comic-book, but a fun satire of the well known fantasy motives and dating in general.” However, it still may not be appropriate for all audiences.
Story
“Five centuries after the destruction of the first Earth, by the Seven lords of apocalypse, one of the seven, the dreaded necromancer Queen Uni Songa has finally, been apprehended and brought to face the justice of the high court of Magic. Yet even as the verdict was swift, the sentencing soon drew to a halt as the accused seems impervious to any mean of corporeal punishment.The infernal creature even seam to relish it.
One punishment after another and the courts aggravation only seam to expend.Until one of the high mages suggested a different approach. If the punishment of the body is insufficient the punishment of the mind is required.To a overblown ego such as the Queen of the Necromancers what could be a better insult than a constant servitude on a task considered so medial, so insignificant that it defies its own purpose, And so Uni was forced into apprenticeship with Juna Ogana Academica Magica first, foremost and only expert in the wonderful field of sexual and mating habits of magical folk and creatures. Thus begin the amatory adventures of this unlikely pair.”

Chances of success
The idea for Enchanted Explorer is indeed unique. It answers questions that you never knew you had, but really do make you wonder. The base goal is a little high. I’ve seen graphic novels work with far less. However it is not unreasonable either. On a positive note, there is a tier that will put your own visage into the graphic novel.
Some concerns I for the campaign and the project itself are in regards to location. I’m not sure what the shipping costs from Serbia to the United States are, and Milos has not made shipping details clear. Also, it feels like English is not Milos‘ first language, and so I am slightly concerned about whether or not proper editing measures will be used in order to ensure the use of proper grammar.
