Hey everyone!
Hope you're having a wonderful week. Oh, by the way...
WE'VE UNLOCKED ANOTHER STRETCH GOAL!
Our next MYSTERY Stretch Goal has now been unlocked. ALL PHYSICAL BACKERS will be getting this special edition TRAIN TICKET!
Here's a full mock-up of the ticket, which we're thinking will be 3.5" x 7" or around there.
They will be numbered and have an actual hole punch in them!
So now you're a piece of the story in a way and can show all your friends you took a ride on the Pneumatic Railway by Last Ember exPress!
While we're talking tickets and memories, you can go over to Dragons by the Yard and get an adoption certificate. For what, you ask? A DRAGON! Yes, folks, you can adopt a dragon!
They just added a new tier and it comes with all kinds of cool dragon stuff! Not to mention a fun comic!
There's literally something for every kind of fan and collector on their campaign, from art, to pins, to chocolate, to beanie plushes, to the comic itself! Check it out before it ends on May 5th!

Hey everyone! And welcome, new backers!
I hope you had a great weekend. My wife and I spent ours getting our first COVID shot. I made the mistake of rolling over on my arm this morning that I got the shot in. Not a great idea. haha
Anyway, over the weekend we also smashed through our next Stretch Goal!
So now we've unlocked 8 pages of Issue 4!
On top of that, we're only just under $250 away from unlocking another 4 pages as of this post!
We still have some surprises in store as we get further down the track, so stay tuned and keep sharing!

Before you go, check out this other Victorian Era mystery comic that is live for 6 more days, Arcane Sally & Mr. Steam #6 by David Alton Hedges and Jefferson Costa!
You can catch up on the entire series through a number of tiers digitally and physically if you're new to the series.
In the LAST ISSUE, our gothic Victorian heroes – Sally, Percy, and Runnymeade – break into the Bodleian Library to retrieve Professor Dodgson’s third Alice in Wonderland book, which contains dangerous formulae for breaching the veil of the afterlife. Anya steals the book first, and in a rooftop duel she bests Percy and is about to kill him when Sally intervenes and saves his life. Percy and Runnymeade return to the trail of the missing turbines, discovering that the reanimated Mr. Churche has taken them to London, where a confrontation between Sally and the murderer results in Churche’s gruesome demise. But Percy spots Anya fleeing the scene of the crime into the streets of London and gives pursuit, determined to stop her at all costs!

Time to check out another cool campaign running right now on Kickstarter!
James Mascia and Dren Productions LLC have put together a really cool anthology based around the world of Peter Pan's Neverland called TALES OF NEVERLAND.
Creators involved include Matt Kund (Constructing Comics, Paranormal Hitman), Wilson Gandolpho (Behemoth Comics), L.K. Ingino (Headless Gnomes), Frank Martin (The Last Homicide, Polar Paradox) and many more!
Here's a little more about the book:
Tales from Neverland is an anthology, featuring 9 stories by 9 different creative teams. Each of the stories focuses on a character, or characters from that place that's just the second star to the right.
Want to see what happens when the pirates leave Neverland? Or what happens to some of the lost boys when they grow up? Or maybe you didn't realize that Nana followed the children on their first journey to that far off land. All these stories and more await you inside the book.

Stretch Goals!

Hey all!
As promised, we have now rolled out Stretch Goals!
We decided to do something we hope you think is cool. As we hit new milestones, we will be UNLOCKING PAGES OF ISSUE 4!
What this means is the more funding we can get during this campaign, the more of issue 4 we can go ahead and produce NOW.
If we hit every goal, ALL BACKERS will get a digital copy of ISSUE 4 added to their pledge.
PLUS, we'll unlock a NEW ADD-ON for a PHYSICAL COPY of ISSUE 4!
We've also peppered in a few mystery goals along the way for PHYSICAL BACKERS!
So let's keep heading down the track and ride this train to the end!
My buddy Frank Martin is SUPER close to his goal with under a week to go! Obviously you're reading this update because you like mystery. Well, Frank's book, THE LAST HOMICIDE #1 is part 1 of a 2-part crime noir detective story. Can't get more mysterious than that!
On the eve of his retirement, Detective Wilmer catches a case he never hoped to see: the murder of a mob boss' son. In a city founded on corruption, the police have little authority to stop the crime plaguing their streets, but this one murder has the potential to tip escalating gang tensions into all out war. Before he hangs up his badge for good, Wilmer and his partner Gomez have one last homicide to solve, otherwise there won't be much of a city for him to retire from.
The Last Homicide embraces this powerful genre while paying respect and homage to the classics that came before. It's a love letter of sorts...and one that's stained in blood.
So go check it out while you can!
