And The Winner Is…
Sean O’Reilly, Arcana Studio EIC, is thrilled
to announce that Alexandra Janicek has won the Epic Ezra Model Search! The
contest was held to find a real life model to portray their most popular
character. The selection of Alexandra coincides with the release of Ezra vs. 10th
Muse #1, which pits Arcana’s ivory skinned mercenary, Ezra, against Blue Water
Production’s mythological beauty, 10th Muse.
Alexandra beat out 29 other models to win
the coveted role of Ezra. When she learned of the results she had this to say,
“Being Ezra appeals to me because she seems dangerous, powerful and sexy. I am
quite excited that I won and I look forward to learning more and being a part
of this intriguing world!”
As the winner, Alexandra Janicek will appear
as Ezra on the cover of the upcoming Ezra vs. 10th Muse comic book. In
the comic, the medieval mercenary targets Medusa, the sworn enemy of the 10th
Muse. However, the 10th Muse
is forced to stop Ezra and save Medusa to prevent history from unraveling. To
celebrate this epic crossover, Cindy Margolis, the most downloaded model ever
and current 10th Muse model, will join Alexandra on the cover!
The idea for the crossover was first
conceived, as Sean and Darren Davis began work on Power of the Valkyrie, a new
Arcana series from Blue Water Productions. They thought the crossover would be
a great way to kick off Valkyrie, as both Ezra and 10th Muse are
extremely popular.
Ezra was created by O’Reilly, Canada’s
most prolific independent comic book writer. Originally appearing in the first
issue of Arcana’s debut title, Kade, Ezra instantly became the company’s most
popular character. With a past shrouded in intrigue and circumstance, Ezra is a
rogue mercenary for hire. When her parents tragically died, she was taken in by
the Order of the Black Sun, where she learned to take care of herself. Now,
this porcelain skinned warrior searches for adventure. She is strong, swift,
and sexy.
The 10th Muse is the story of modern Greek
mythology and a forgotten tenth muse. Created by Davis, the 10th
Muse gained critical acclaim during its initial run at Image Comics and
continues to get rave reviews now that it is with Alias. In the mold of strong
female characters like La Femme Nikita, 10th Muse is a real warrior true in her
convictions just like a certain pale skinned Arcana beauty. She is a perfect
opponent for Ezra as the two prepare for what is sure to be an epic battle.
Battle lines will be drawn as Ezra vs. 10th Muse #1 hits a
comic shop near you!
