Hey all!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend, and all you moms had an amazing Mother's Day!
Lisa and I had steak dinner with our moms, it was a nice time.
And now we're starting the week off strong because over the weekend...
WE UNLOCKED OUR 9TH STRETCH GOAL!!!
That's right! Now we are just a few hundred away from COMPLETELY UNLOCKING ISSUE 4!
So keep spreading the word! Rowel took a break from working on the pages to start sketching out the main cover for issue 4, so we will be able to show that soon! And we may just still have a few more surprises up our sleeves before all is said and done!
Okay, with that, have an awesome week, but before you go, check out this campaign!
John Schlim Jr. puts out some incredible books and is a really nice guy. He has the latest issue of Infinity Agents on Kickstarter right now and it's off to a great start!
If you are a fan of Sci-Fi with a dash of superhero in your stories, this book is right up your alley!
It's all about three agents from the Infinite Borders Security Agency (IBSA), or "Infinity Agents" who are tasked with engaging a "superhero" whose powers are derived by an alien exoskeleton.
Think SWORD from Marvel mixed with Green Lantern from DC as far as their organization goes. They deal with extraterrestrial matters on Earth or in space, and there are no boundaries to their jurisdiction.
In issue 3, EVERYTHING changes! So go check it out and get caught up on the series as well!

Hey everyone!
As we head into the weekend, we've just smashed through our...
EIGHTH STRETCH GOAL!
And that means ALL PHYSICAL BACKERS will get a new print by Rowel Roque (PC artist) and colors (forthcoming) by Ryan Kroboth (Sunmaker)!
And here's a full look at the piece:
This was one of our potential covers for issue 3, but we decided to hold it back and reveal it here!
This will be a 5" x 7" fully colored print, and ALL DIGITAL BACKERS will get a high-res digital file of it as well because why not?
STILL TO COME
We have 6 more pages still left to unlock Issue 4! And we just might have another surprise in the works as well! Stay tuned for that. But for now, enjoy these campaigns too:
Nathan Lueth is back with Volume 3 of Impure Blood!With just a few days to go, this has been his best Kickstarter yet! So congrats, Nathan!
In this volume...
Dara has disappeared in a fit of uncontrolled rage. Now she has to learn to rein in her power before it burns her from the inside out while Caspian, Mac, and Roan attempt to locate her from across the continent. Elnor takes a detour to check in with her boss and to serve a side of blackmail on an all-too-deserving target. All roads lead to Eldendore, a city-state plagued by years of bigotry and intolerance of the Ancient Blood. Rebellion threatens to spill into the streets even before Roan arrives. Tentative new friendships are formed and immediately tested in the midst of chaos. While fighting their way out of yet another city, the company is once again forced to question Auhle’s intentions in stealing the ancient artifact that the Watchers are after.
Next up, Rod Rodolfo and T.A. Ewart have put together Ezarieth World Heroes for mature fantasy and adventure fans! This comic sees a Crazy Dragon Goddess bringing chaos to the realm and a young Thief and Elf Prince that must stop her. But, how do you kill a god?
With an odd partnership, two strangers hold the fate of the world and by their dreadful act, they shall be called: Heroes!! The most incredible twist in a Fantasy and Adventure story ever told in a comic book format. For a feeling like this, only comics!!!
This project fuses the worlds of Steampunk, Medieval Fantasy and Metal Music together in a unique tapestry of awesomeness!
This campaign brings both universes into the metal music world, and lets them duke it out with 5 songs each on an album that will be available as MP3s, on CD, and on collectible colored vinyl!
The campaign also centers around the special edition comicHeirs of Isildur: Nightmare Scenario(now 28 pages because of STRETCH GOALS!), which will answer one of the burning questions from the previous arc, The Crossroads Conundrum, and its cliffhangers.
New to Heirs of Isildur? That's okay, you can catch up on the entire story in this campaign!

Hey all!
Today we've officially reached 200 backers! THANK YOU for that! The support this project has gotten so far has really been incredible!
And we just over $200 away from our next Stretch Goal as well!
As we hit that middle stretch of the campaign, we thought we'd share some panels from other pages in the book just for fun. Lisa is working on the colors (they're all flatted and lettered!) but in the meantime we have some inks!
The Arrival! The Ravenscrofts love traveling by train!
Annie can handle her own luggage. Poor guy was going to get a hernia!
We'll share some more panels soon. We might even do a Caption Game!
For now, let's talk about another campaign that's heading toward its first Stretch Goal with just over a week left!
Doc Hanover turns her enemies into corpses, but during the siege she turned one into a friend. He’s just made a really bad mistake ...
This is the 4th chapter of The Surgeon, and you can catch up on the story so far digitally or physically in this campaign. There's even an EXTENDED PREVIEW from ALL THREE previous chapters available on the page! And here's a page from this chapter:
They are just over $300 shy of their $8K Stretch Goal. If you like what you see, consider helping push them toward it!

Hey everyone!
We are just rolling through these Stretch Goals! We've unlocked our 6th now and we're over 200% funded! WOOHOO!
That's 16 pages of issue 4 unlocked so far, by the way!
To celebrate that milestone and to kick off the 5th Month of the year here on May 1st, we're going to share the love with these 5 other cool campaigns we think you should check out that are ending soon!
Counting, Colors & Cthulhu Hardcover Board Book is the latest offering from Tyler James, Jason Ciaramella, and Joshua Janes. This is the 9th launch for the children's book brand and their highest funded one to date nearing $130K! How cool is that?
In addition to this book and the two previous ones being offered, there are also a number of plushies available, and it's all based around baby Cthulhu from Lovecraft lore!
So if you're looking for some cool and fun ways to teach your kids, or you just want it for yourself, head on over and check it out!
COUNTING, COLORS & CTHULHU is a beautifully illustrated, premium board book from the creators of C is for Cthulhu & Sweet Dreams Cthulhu that teaches numbers and colors using adorable Lovecraft inspired monsters.
Lampblack #1: fantasy horror comic in cinematic style is a really cool looking project about a girl whose paintings come to life and a Deaf boy wanting to be a soldier. It is a story of passion, art and war inspired by Studio Ghibli.
This campaign is a really cool concept with beautiful art that pulled me in right away. It's by writer Camille Longley (The Flameskin Chronicles), artist Pablo Peppino, colorist Damián Peñalba, letterer Joel Saavedra, editor Kelly Gaines and Deaf Culture and ASL consultant June Ann LeFors.
Mabel is an ink girl, born with the ability to bring anything she paints to life. It's a dangerous gift, one she is forbidden to use. But she can't put down her brush. She won't. She was born to paint, and the ink allows her to create beauty and magic out of her simple life. She will save her family with her art, whatever the cost.
SterlingCohen is Deaf, and the only heir to Caraday's largest industrial conglomerate. His father is a tyrant--in commerce and at home. But Sterling dreams of becoming a soldier, and wants desperately to abandon the family business to serve his country.
Mabel will unwittingly unleash lampblack's dark magic on her world, endangering her family and her home. Together, Sterling and Mabel must find a way to defeat the monsters Mabel has created and make a new, better world for themselves.
Here we go! This is the conclusion to the Tango of the Matadors story where a matador will fall! If you love Kaiju battles and unique mash-ups, you'll love this monster hunting romp by writer Steven Prince, Ringo Award nominated artist Fabio Alves and colorist Alex Zief!
Born from out love of Mad-Max, Kaiju and Santo and... telenovelas?! The Monster Matador is an action-packed mash-up of all those things, with more than a few laughs to spare. Just don't laugh at the Matador. He does not like to be laughed at.
Ruination #1-2 - A Fantasy Adventure Comic Series by Writer Ryan Bis, artist Giulia Lalli, colorist Kaytee Brown, letterer Matias Zanetti and editor (and good friend of mine) Nicole D'Andria!
This is a fantasy series focusing on a group of young soldiers who forge their own path in a world that seems dead set on destroying itself, and not for the first time!
After some great feedback on issue 1, the team is back again with just a few days left!
The nation of Saldyria was nearly destroyed during its centuries-long war with the mysterious rebels called the Fallen. After a truce was declared, the Saldyrians began rebuilding and gave birth to the first post-war children. All was peaceful until yesterday, when a group of Fallen viciously attacked Caldanna, a fishing village, in search of a crystal held by one of its residents. Now, two Saldyrian soldiers (Dante and Jalen) are fighting to save their loved ones with surprising aid from a Fallen (Keila) looking to end the violence. Pursued by Fallen soldiers, the group escaped through a strange portal in the woods. While they have bought themselves some time, the world on the other side of the portal may not be safer than their own.
Bloom - The Origin of a Prophet - Issues 1 & 2 by writer and Hero Tomorrow Comics President Ted Sikora and artist Butch Mapa (Marvel's Action Avengers for IDW)!
If you love origin stories and art imitating life and vice versa, you'll enjoy the story of Bloom, which sees an aspiring comic book artist looking for inspiration for his character, a femme fatale, which he finds in a wild dancer named Regina whom he meets at a street fair in 1969!
They've already smashed their goal and some stretch goals and have just a few days to go!
Witness the psycho-delic origin of the most powerful character in the Hero Tomorrow Comics universe. A mind-bending 4 issue journey to reshape your reality!
I hope you enjoy these projects. The Kickstarter community is so supportive and we love being able to shine the light on other projects and other creators as much as we can. So go check them out if you can!
