Hey everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
We're still reeling from the early funding and are so grateful for that. But we have a long road ahead of us, so we'll be rolling out those Stretch Goals sometime this week! I've been working on the graphic for it and we think you'll like what we are going to offer! Here's a tease:
BLIND BAG & DRAWN IN
For now, I wanted to let you know that we added Cover B (the K. Lynn Smith variant) to both of these tiers! If you're not familiar with K. Lynn Smith, she is the creator/artist of Plume and For Goodness' Sake and has done work for or through BOOM! Studios, Source Point Press and Scout Comics!
This is a "virgin variant" meaning no trade dress, logos or credits. So Smith's art is on full display!
It's also available as an add-on!
We had intended to have it included on both of these tiers all along, but simply forgot to put it on them! So it's there now.
And to clarify about the Blind Bag tier, if you back that tier you get BOTH covers PLUS three random comics from our catalog inside the bag if that wasn't clear before!
Ringo Award-winner Rylend Grant has about 68 hours left on The Jump #1-2 live on Kickstarter right now! As a backer of the first issue, I can tell you it's a pretty rad book, and this current campaign has doubled its funding goal so far! Below is some more information about it.
THE JUMP is kick-you-in-the tenth paranoid thriller set in the world of astral projection. It’s INCEPTION meets THE BOURNE IDENTITY if it were dripping with macabre and directed by David Fincher.
It’s brought you by the same twisted team that produced Action Lab: Danger Zone's much-lauded superhero noir BANJAX. It made over a dozen critics ten best lists in 2019 and was nominated for FOUR Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Awards including BEST SERIES (alongside BITTER ROOT and SOMETHING’S KILLING THE CHILDREN).
Writer Rylend Grant Rylend has worked for 15+ years in Hollywood, developing film and television projects - mostly big, poppy action movies - with folks like JJ Abrams, Ridley Scott, John Woo, Luc Beson, and Justin Lin.

Hey everyone!
WOW!
We have reached our funding goal in just under the 48 hour mark this morning! And all we can say for that is...
THANK YOU!!!
No, wait, that's NOT all we can say! Keep reading for a SURPRISE.
Before I get to that, though... we did not expect to be funded this fast, and especially on the weekend. So we're completely humbled and grateful for all your support.
We have a LOT of time on the clock, so we definitely have Stretch Goals planned. We'll talk about those next week!
As for now, for reaching that beautiful milestone of FUNDING IN THE FIRST 48 HOURS we are unlocking a...
BONUS DIGITAL COMIC for EVERYONE!
Blood n Concrete #1
London's past and present collide in a darkly comic tale of love, loss, betrayal, revenge and undead Cockney gangsters...
This is by Andy X Jenkins (writer), Ray Dillon (Art & Colors), Michael Okoroagha (Colors) and Robin Jones (letters). It's a supernatural horror comedy, Rated MATURE for violence and language.

Thanks again for helping us get funded so fast, and take your seats, because this train ain't stopping anytime soon!

Darren Close is on track to break his own record on his latest launch, KILLEROO: Semper Fidelis!
If you loved the movie PREDATOR, you'll love this Aussie comic book that pits a squad of US Marines against the Killeroo, in a fierce battle in Kakadu to protect an illegal Uranium Mine.
KILLEROO is a long-running Australian comic book series, and SEMPER FIDELIS is written by Matthew Soall and drawn by Ignacio Di Meglio - and It might just be the best of the series so far!
Several stretch goals are unlocked and there's just under 2 weeks to go.
What An Amazing Day One!

Hello!
You all have made this day AWESOME by all of your support for this campaign!
65% funded on Day One! That's incredible and all thanks to YOU!
And we snagged Project We Love, so Thank You, Kickstarter as well!
I'll Let You In on a Little Secret...
This campaign was NOT meant to be 45 days! In fact, it was only supposed to be 15! But very little sleep and down to the wire tweaking the page led to not seeing the 5 (May) instead of the 4 (April) it was supposed to be when setting the end date!
For a few minutes, I was feeling stupid and we were trying to decide whether we canceled it and relaunched with the correct dates or what exactly to do.
Why didn't we?
Because of YOU!
You all came out in support of this campaign so fast that we just couldn't do that to you!
So we decided instead to ride it out and started talking about plans on just how to do that.
We Have Some Cool Stuff in Store!
Should the trajectory of this campaign continue on pace for the next 44 days, we have some interesting ideas to keep you entertained, to deliver some surprises, and to add even more value for your support! So stay tuned for that, because if things go as we think they will... well, I'll leave that for another time.
Anyway, I just wanted to say...
THANK YOU
For a wonderful Day One. On behalf of John, Rowel, Lisa, Clay and myself, we are extremely grateful and thrilled to have you along for the ride!
