Hello Everyone!
I am bouncing around Baltimore Comic Con and trying to keep a close eye on the project as I sell books and meet my heroes like Dani and Becky Cloonan. The good news is, we're 89% of the way to our goal! Nearly there! Hell yeah!
We are starting the slow down period as we exit the first week of the campaign, which is totally normal for a Kickstarter. We're still going to be out there everyday waving our arms to get attention on the comic and bring us to and beyond our goal. If you're looking to help us do that, there's actually a number of things you can do to give the campaign a nudge:
- Leave a comment on the campaign saying what you're excited about, that you're a Frankenstein the Unconquered fan, or what drew you to the project. It sounds dumb, but that kind of activity is something Kickstarter looks for to promote the campaign internally.
- Share the campaign on your preferred social media--we aren't everywhere and hearing that a campaign is great from a fan hits different than seeing the creator promote it for the billionth time.
- Talk to a friend about the campaign the next time you hang out in person. I know that being around people is scary, but we believe in you!
- Stand on your roof and shout "The Bride has come to rend and tear our world asunder!" And when the police show up, tell them about the campaign.
We'll be in touch soon as we hopefully hit our funding goal, until then, let's keep shouting into the void!
Projects We Support!
Old Devils #1-2
"Occult reality show has-beens Jade and Shaw have puzzled together a centuries-long pattern of young women dying during childbirth. The common thread: A charismatic out-of-towner who disappears when they die.
"Now, the paranormal investigators have a chance to stop the killings, and redeem themselves for their decades-old public failings, in the cities and towns that dot the northernmost Great Plains.
"OLD DEVILS is a limited horror series in the tradition of Something Is Killing the Children, 30 Days of Night, and Marvel's Nightstalkers. This Kickstarter will fund issue #2, a 24 page comic by Matthew Wilding (Free Hands, Nightmare Man) and Jeremiah Schiek (Hush Ronin, One True Love)."
Wilding and Schiek have constructed a really compelling supernatural thriller that I, personally, can't wait to see more of. It's fully funded and on its 99th backer and I think it'd be really cool if we gave them backer 100! Check it out here.
Ruination #1-11
"RUINATION is a fantasy adventure comic book series that follows a group of young soldiers as they forge their own path in a world hellbent on destroying itself... again.
"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 a group of Fallen viciously attacked a fishing village in search of a powerful 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 assassin (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..."
Ruination is a veritable Kickstarter institution at this point and it remains imaginative, compelling, and beautiful with some of the best fantasy art on the platform! Frankenstein the Unconquered artist Elisabeth Mkhedzie is part of the team on this series, so we really can't give it more of an endorsement. It's also 99% of the way to it's goal, so again, it would be cool if we bumped them over their funding goal! It's great, check it out here!
Let's crush our funding goal and lay out some stretch goals soon!
