The series was announced on March 2, 2013 on Facebook with a release date sometime in 2014. In that same month, Jessica Gauci and Ryan Cooley were revealed as the first graphic novel's illustrator and assistant writer, respectively.
On April 21, 2013, four pictures were posted on the official Facebook page with a description that stated that they would serve as templates for what the art style would look like in the series.
