We are now at the 36 hour mark and frankly blown away!
Last night, we went over to help move some stuff into my in-laws' new house, and when we got home the campaign had hit $10,000!
On the dot!
I mean, that's a pretty awesome thing to find when you get home on a Friday night, am I right?
This campaign was already our most funded and most backed. And now it's our very first 5-figure campaign as well!
So... THANK YOU!!!
What else can we say? This has been an absolutely amazing campaign and that's all because of all of you!
Where will it end? Only time will tell. Less than 36 hours of it at that! So we'll see. But wherever it ends, we are beyond thrilled with the amount of support and faith in us and our product!

Kickstarter Exclusive!

– Sat, May 29, 2021 at 06:54:36 PM
Hey everyone!
You've gotten us to $9K! Woohoo! That's just... we're blown away! Thank you!
So to celebrate (and because I already teased it yesterday), we have a new product!
KICKSTARTER EXCLUSIVE ISSUE #1 VARIANT
Several of you asked if there was a variant to issue 1, and until now there wasn't!
Lisa recolored this piece changing it to a night scene and adding more fog, and now it is our PC #1 Kickstarter Exclusive variant cover!
You can add this to your pledge as an ADD-ON. See this post for details on how to do that.
OR, if you are getting the EVERY PNEUMATIC CASES COVER tier, we've just added an UPGRADED version of this tier that includes this new KS Exclusive issue 1 variant AND BOTH Issue 4 covers as well!
And if variants are your jam, we have a poll going right now to see if there's interest in a black & white version of Federico's issue 4 variant, which you can vote in HERE until Saturday night at midnight!
Now that I've overloaded you with information, check out this AMAZING campaign:
Curtis Clow is back with the sixth and seventh issues of BEASTLANDS, which was well over funded on Day 1!
As of this post, it's at over $30K with almost 500 backers! That's just incredible, but no surprise! The book is absolutely gorgeous! But don't take my word for it, look at Jo Mi-Gyeong's art!
Beastlands is an action adventure story set in a beautiful medieval fantasy world, where some people have companion beasts known as "Keepers". These beasts are kind of like lifelong pets. Except they're big mountable animals with various fantasy features. Their companionship could last your lifetime if you're a good companion, but if you're not they could get sick, injured or worse.
In Beastlands you'll go on an adventure with a group of 3 teenage friends, Mac, Ava and Ping. They're on a journey to find out what Mac's father, an explorer, was trying to discover before he disappeared. On this quest their friendships will be put to the test all while a tyrannical King looks to outlaw Keepers from the land.
If you're a fantasy fan like me, or just a fan of great comics, you won't want to miss BEASTLANDS!

I want to share this really cool project that just launched by my good friends Kat Calamia and Phil Falco!
It's a crossover comic where their two series, LIKE FATHER, LIKE DAUGHTER and HAUNTING are crossing over to battle zombies, ghosts and who knows what else!
And I just happen to be lettering it also!
Casey has super strength and invulnerability. The dead rise wherever Bram goes. Their two worlds collide in this epic crossover with gorgeous art by Rafi de Sousa and colors by Fabi Marques, with fun, witty dialogue by Kat and Phil, and the lettering and design ain't too shabby either. :)
Check out these sweet EARLY BIRD deals good for the first 48 HOURS as well:
