about 2 years ago – Fri, Apr 29, 2022 at 05:40:47 AM

Guys, we've finally poked past and hit the 200-backer milestone! We're also less than 1k from the next stretch goal, which will include a REALLY cool metal bookmark for all backers!! Let's goooo!!

ALL backers will now get a digital copy of The Locksmith #1, by Terrance Grace and Sylvio DB.

There is a room inside an old tenement building in the Bronx. Inside the room is a doorway that leads to another dimension where past, present and future exist simultaneously.

This gateway must remain protected -- by the Locksmith. The problem: Santiago, the Locksmith, has died. The power is unleashed. What was once dead, seeks life. And that is just the beginning... And possibly end of the world -- And the universe.

----

AND... a plug for some friends of ours at Dren Productions, who have just 4 DAYS LEFT on their awesome campaign for two awesome anthologies: Femme Fatale and Tales of the Bizarre. Over 20 sci-fi, horror and thriller stories about dangerous women and strange occurrences. BACK IT HERE NOW!

Femme Fatale - a book about dangerous women. We have a good number of thrilling stories involving women using their powers of intelligence, strength, cunning and seduction, to get whatever it is they desire... and it usually ends up badly for the people who are in their way!

Tales of the Bizarre - a book featuring the best and strangest sci-fi and horror tales we could create. Think about those old B-movies from the classic movie theaters (or stuff you might find playing on the Syfy channel today). The stories that you are going to find in this anthology are both thought provoking and obscure... just how we like them!

BOOM!! We did it!!! FREE SHIT!! AND more milestones revealed! :D

Thank you all again, so much, for helping us smash faces with this campaign. With hitting the goal, we've unlocked a milestone for ALL backers: 

A digital copy of JUSTICE #1 by Wingless Comics

The story of Justice is one of sacrifice. Justice is an archangel of the highest order and the Left Hand of God, but he left the eternal paradise of Heaven.  He battled through the Firmament and descended to Earth to find the Voice of Elohim. The fate of existence hangs in the balance and Othniyel, the angel known as Justice, stands against the abyss.

Issue #1 sees Justice among the rooftops of Las Sombras, the City of  Shadows, where gambling meets the sea. The days grow darker and evils that once hid in the shadows prowl the streets. With his quest weighing heavily on his mind, Justice intervenes when a gang of Children of the Night gives into their bloodlust.

And we've revealed that there are milestones at 200 backers and $5,500 -- spoiler alert, the one at $5,500 definitely contains a METAL BOOKMARK!!!!! 

And, a little promotion for some lovely fellow creators: 

One of the best small publishers out there right now, FAIR SQUARE COMICS, publishers of NOIR IS THE NEW BLACK, are currently running a campaign for WE CAN FUNK: A Graphic journey in2 Funkdom!! Back it here RIGHT NOW!!: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1hitwonder/we-can-funk/

Funk is a major musical genre that spawned over five decades. There are books, but no graphic novel covering this genre. WE CAN FUNK: A Graphic journey in2 Funkdom aims at filling that void by offering short stories starring the major artists that made this music timeless and unforgettable. 12 stories about 12 legendary acts. From Prince 2 James Brown, Rick James 2 George Clinton or Teena Marie 2 name a few.

------------------

Also, our new favorite person, CHRISTIE SHINN, is currently running a campaign for DEMON BITCH: YOU ALL SUCK! Back it here for pins, books, and even games?! : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/horatorastudios/demon-bitch-you-all-suck

It's the newest graphic novel of Demon Bitch called  "TRIGGERED". It's about almost 130+ pages of comics and other artistic bullshit that is guaranteed to gross you out and make you laugh!

"This book was inspired by true events (like everything else) COVID-19 sucked for everyone and it brought out all the stupid. I got pro and anti-whatever and whomsoever and other bullshit people screaming and shaming at me in Dolby - then getting pointlessly mad and forgetting about it at all."

YASSSSS!! You Guys are Amazing!! First Two Milestones Unlocked!!

So first off...thank you all so much for backing. Power Broker is a crazy new release of ours that we're really hoping you love. Second...look at you, unlocking all the things! We're JUST SHY of the goal!!!

ALL BACKERS will now be receiving digital copies of both American Dreams #1 and The Pale #1! 

It is Spring, 1900. The place is New York City. A Jewish immigrant, Jake Gold, is struggling in a sweatshop by day, and fights in a gang at night. He wants a better life, but cannot escape his current situation.

At the same time, Thomas Edison has come to JP Morgan with a scheme to use a machine (stolen from Nikolai Tesla) to harness energy from the stars. However, the experiment opens a portal, unleashing energy throughout New York.  Jake is one of the many New Yorkers now affected by this experiment. Now, he must decide how he must use his abilities to protect everyone’s American Dream.

And The Pale: A lone FBI agent teams up with a sheriff, his deputy and a Navajo cop while investigatng a mysterious body that is linked to a long string of killings. He must navigate through the small-town landscape while hiding the fact that he is not acting on behalf of the bureau... all while keeping his face-blindness a secret from the Sheriff. He will soon discover that he’s not the only one keeping secrets.

And finally, a little boost for an unbelievable fellow creator whose campaign is ending Friday:

FISH LEE is running his campaign for GREENZONE: LIFE IN THE BLOCKS. This man is drawing, coloring, and lettering the entire beautiful book himself and publishing with our good friends at FREESTYLE KOMICS.

He's just past the goal but he could use some stretch goals! CHECK IT OUT HERE!!!! BACK IT NOW! :)

In a world where anyone could be born with superpowers, genomes are viewed as walking weapons… supervillains waiting to happen. Cast out of society and forgotten, they are forced into Greenzones, and packed into super powered ghettos called “the Blocks”. The only hope for a better life is the Genome Citizenship Accords of 1968 which state “any genome that proves their worth by serving the greater good for a period of no less than five consecutive years, may earn their citizenship, right to vote, and right to own property…”   So, if you want to claw your way out of the blocks, and get a chance for a better life, you have to risk it all in either the military, fire department, or the police force. This is the story of three new recruits to the police force on their first shift in the G-unit.

They've just unlocked this amazing cover by Ryan Robinson:
