The Eisner‑winning author Ram V has opened Mirror Maker Studios, a fresh creative hub and idea incubator centered on projects he and his team are developing. The debut is paired with a brand‑new Mirror Maker YouTube channel that spotlights the behind‑the‑scenes work of comics, writing, animation, games, and other storytelling mediums.
Content on the channel will include creator talks, step‑by‑step video guides, and behind‑the‑scenes footage from current projects. Mirror Maker additionally intends to roll out episodic narrative fiction on the channel starting in 2027.
Ram V commented:
“I think creating and making art is among humanity’s finest traits and something we should treasure and nurture,” Ram V said. “When corporations push creators and fans toward mass‑produced content that lacks personal perspective and effort, I feel more artists should share the wonder of the crafting process, not just the finished product. Launching the YouTube channel offers an exciting way to capture that work and give readers, viewers, and fans a space to connect with the people and the journey behind the projects they love— especially as the central role of the human mind and experience in art comes under pressure.”
The studio’s debut aligns with the release of DEICIDIUM Volume 1, the opening installment of a nine‑volume graphic novel project co‑created by Ram V and artist Evan Cagle, with extra work contributed by Anand Radhakrishnan, Tom Muller, Aditya Bidikar, and several others.
The storyline mixes science fiction, mythology, and crime in a future where religion has turned into an economic and political force. Corporations and manufactured faiths keep society under control until ancient deities start appearing in everyday individuals. A squad of twelve orphans, raised to act without religious or emotional ties, is sent out to confront them.
Volume 1 of DEICIDIUM will see worldwide publication by the French house Morgen and a U.S. launch via Image Comics. It hits comic retailers on November 11 and hits bookstores on December 8. Anime Corner holds the exclusive right to showcase a few sample pages from the title.
The debut episode of Mirror Maker YouTube zeroes in on the DEICIDIUM creative team and the early stages of the series’ development. Upcoming installments are slated to include guests such as Esoteric from Czarface, Kickstarter CEO Everette Taylor, Becky Cloonan, Anand RK, and additional participants.
Ram V said:
“The goal of the Mirror Maker channel is to give viewers insight into how creative projects come to life. Pairing that with an early brainstorming session for my forthcoming book DEICIDIUM felt like the right move,” Ram V said. “We assembled a group of top‑tier creators from around the globe, locked ourselves in a tiny apartment, and captured the creative spark, initial choices, and ideas that shape the book. It’s comparable to watching a band fuse to produce a track that ends up greater than the sum of its components.”
“Plenty of people have ideas, but what’s rare is finding creators who are genuinely intrigued by their own concepts, believing they haven’t fully delved into the possibilities, and who willingly bring a partner along for the exploration. I’ve been incredibly lucky to meet that person in Ram,” Evan Cagle commented.
Mirror Maker Studios builds on Ram V’s existing credits, which comprise titles such as New Gods, Detective Comics, Rare Flavours, Dawnrunner, Blue in Green, and The Many Deaths of Laila Starr. The new studio is designed to serve as a more expansive platform for endeavors that cross publishing and additional media forms.
