Rise Rabbit Cinematic Universe: ORIGINS Zine

THE FIRST RRCU ZINE IS HERE!!

And it's completely free! The RRCU has been a passion project of ours for so long that we really wanted to start compiling some of our art in booklets, and see how it went! The zine does not contain any new art/writing. It is only a thematic arrangement of art that has already been published for the RRCU on Tumblr. Just like any RRCU-related stuff, the zine is and always will be free to download. Donations are absolutely not necessary, but if you'll reward us starving artists with your kindness, we would be eternally grateful. Life is busy, so sending out printed versions of the zine would not be sustainable; however, the downloadable folder contains a print-optimized pdf so you can get a physical version from your local print shop if you wish! If you have any comments, questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact any of us. We hope you enjoy the zine!

WHAT THE HECK IS THE RRCU?

The Rise Rabbit Cinematic Universe is a series of derivative fanworks featuring original characters inspired by Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo comics and the spinoff show Samurai Rabbit, with lore and events set in the canonical world of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It was created by myself (@aversiteespabilas) and @rhinocio, together with my best friend Iggy (@r3xcorvus) contributing with their own characters and plot and acting as writing consultant for the rabbits. If you know Stan Sakai's characters, you may find some things familiar, but ultimately, these are completely original characters with original storylines. It started with Rhin and I playing with the concept of our distinct versions of Rise!Usagi being estranged family, and it's now become a rich world of stories and characters that we really feel is worth sharing. Enjoy the ride!
