300 Backers and a new Add-On!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Oct 29, 2020 at 04:02:32 PM

We have reached a number I really hoped pre-campaign we would reach and with over 2 weeks left! 300 backers is an amazing milestone and I’m so thankful to all of you! 

You may remember from last campaign we had some sketch cover options, I didn’t start the campaign with that option, but I think it’s time to make it available! 

David is an amazing artist and killed it last time on his sketch covers. The add-on is live now!

I may have a few more of these opportunities available soon, so stay tuned!

Last day to back!

My friend (and Stake cover artist) Bryan Silverbax has a campaign ending today on Kickstarter! If you enjoy character stats, old comic trading cards, or comic universe guidebooks, this is for you! Bryan has created a fun resource for his characters in his expansive Kerra Prime connected universe.

This ends today, so if you're interested back now!

We're really close to the next stretch goal! So hopefully we can hit that soon.

The not so secret big Stake News ANNOUNCEMENT!
over 3 years ago – Mon, Oct 26, 2020 at 07:29:36 PM

Yesterday I promised an update regarding Stake in general. While we push along toward the $17,500 stretch goal I wanted to share something that I'm really proud of.

It's no secret Stake is being published by Scout (I'm offering copies of it in this campaign), well now it's really real! We have hit Diamond Previews and will be in stores January 13, 2021 with the fully re-drawn Francesca Fantini edition of Stake #1!


Many of you have taken advantage of the option to purchase the Scout edition here already!

The second cover is by Derrick Chew, he drew this almost two years ago, before I even had interior pages for Stake. It is an unlock retailer incentive, this means your local shop can order 10 of the main cover then order as many as they'd like of the Chew cover.

The order codes are NOV201504 and NOV201505 if you want to tell your local comic shop to order them. We will also have them on the Scout site in January!

I couldn't be more thrilled with how this series is turning out and can't wait to get into everyone's hands!


Another great campaign to check out!

HAUNTING #1-2 - A Supernatural Horror Comic

HAUNTING follows Bram, your average, everyday bratty teenager...who just so happens to RAISE THE DEAD!

Wherever he goes, ghosts appear - restless spirits that attack the living viciously and without prejudice. Bram has spent his entire life turning a blind eye to the destruction and deaths caused by his strange ability. But his recklessness finally catches up to him in the form of Deacon, a mysterious and vengeful man from his past. Deacon corners Bram and Faith, a small-town girl with a tragic past, in Dusty Springs. Now Bram will be forced to learn that his actions have consequences... whether he takes responsibility for those consequences is another question entirely.

You can get issues 1 and 2 in this campaign are at a really reasonable price.

I know I keep saying this, but it's truly my state right now.

WOW

I wasn't able to post last night when passed our latest stretch and now that I'm finally able to, we're already with $800 of the next!

You guys are truly amazing!

Up next is a piece from a friend of mind who happens to be a great artist! His rendition of Jessamy is just beautifully whimsical, it really makes me smile...

Here's the full art so you can get a better feel for it:

I hope you love it!
