No Sleep 'Til.....
Well, just no sleep really.
What a FREAKIN’ week this has been for your boy. I just wrapped an 80-hour workweek at the day job so I apologize for being absent from the socials. But I’m back now! Aren’t you lucky?
So, first things first, let’s get back to business.
RAYNA on Kickstarter!
As of now, we’re sitting very comfortably with our Rayna campaign. As a matter of fact, Stan has started on Rayna #2 as we speak. We still have more than half of the campaign to go yet so we’re announcing our STRETCH GOALS this week. Actually, here you can see our $10,000 Stretch Goal!
As soon as we cross $10,000 on the Rayna Kickstarter campaign, ALL PHYSICAL REWARD BACKERS will receive this Rayna pinup by artist JOK LP. Also, DIGITAL BACKERS will receive a digital version of the pinup.
As soon as we hit that $10,000 mark I’ll be announcing the next stretch goal and it’s pretty cool. Trust me. PRE-ORDER RAYNA #1 HERE!
Century House #1 Update.
If you backed the Century House #1 campaign then you may be patiently waiting for your copies of Centruy House #1. More than half of the physical backers are already enjoying their rewards while the rest are wondering where their books are. Well, you have no longer to wait. EVERY remaining order goes out TODAY.
I made the switch last month from Lil Packaging A2 mailers to Gemini Mailers because I was yet again sent a shipment of damaged mailers. So I FINALLY made the jump to Gemini and they have come in and the remaining packages are being packed up as we speak.
Here Are A Few Projects I’m Excited About!
46 HOURS LEFT !
BLACK JACKETS #4 & 5!
MONSTERS ARE REAL…AND THEY SUUUCK!
Join six teenagers as they embark on a journey to unravel the mysteries of a fraternal organization of monster hunters known as the Black Jackets.
See an onslaught of original and interesting monsters.
Humor, action, and horror propel this black and white series written by Mike Tener, illustrated by Francesco Tomaselli, and lettered by Dave Lentz.
THE STORY SO FAR
Issue 1 - Evan, Lynn, Jack, Ellie, and Asa have been officially Black Jackets for six months, substituting their parents who mysteriously vanished one day. Although they've taken on the responsibility of monster hunters quickly, they're no closer to understanding what happened to their parents. Compounding that, an otherworldly being appears with a warning.
Issue 2 - Physically and emotionally exhausted, the gang stays home to catch up on some R&R, but the break is short-lived when an uninvited guest and a supernatural threat ruin everything.
Issue 3 - The gang investigates an abandoned Black Jackets outpost and discover a dark secret that will alter the course of events in the series, while also introducing a new member to the group.
Issues 4 and 5 will wrap up the first story arc with shocking conclusions and, you guessed it, lots of monster-slaying action!
WHO'S THIS FOR?
Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Harry Potter, Ghostbusters, and The Craft.
Horror comedy and action genres with loads of one-liners and coming-of-age drama.

WE ARE SCARLET TWILIGHT #3!
We Are Scarlet Twilight #3 is a 22-page comic that picks up on the story after the first two chapters! As always, it’s very inspired by golden age comics and pulp conventions- so if you’re a fan of Batman: The Animated Series, the Shadow, Metropolis, and Flash Gordon, this is the comic for you!
Issue 3 starts right where 2 ended- Captain Lancet and his Maxie Militia are trapped by the Scarlet Twilight vampire cult that dominates the world, and Cap’s quest to free the world from the vampire curse that afflicts himself seems doomed! To make matters worse, their leader, Madame Satanika, has learned his TRUE identity!

God Summoner #1,2 and 3
3 Chapters of the exciting adventure, filled with Magic, Guns & Inquisitors
God Summoner is a Dark Fantasy Adventure inspired by Greece’s history of ancient wars, old gods, mythical beings, and forbidden lands. In the parallel world of Zaros.
The story follows Adelice and her struggle to return to her family, alive after being abducted by the ruler of a parallel realm. In her journey, she teams up with a resistance group known as the Infidels and together go on an adventure to bring back the Old Gods and bring down Yram's regime. In her journey, she soon comes across the Infidels and teams up with the rugged but friendly Barthel, the adventurous Malik, sweet but brave Kasmara, and the anthropomorphic, mute crow, McKlein. Together they venture into various locations throughout the realm such as the dreaded Marana Prison, the Icy Northern Territories of Orobaskara, the wasteland of Athabaskara, the gigantic Citadel, and the sprawling, haunting city of Mitropolis.
The team must do everything in their power to stop Yram before she casts away the Old Gods forever, thus dooming Adelice and the entire Realm.

BIG JACK: ANIMALS #3
The final issue of this post-apoc revenge story. Jack vs THE BEAR for the survival of Jack's family.
What is BIG JACK about?
BIG JACK is about a husband and father trying to keep his family and himself moving forward in a world which seems hell-bent on his, and the people he loves, destruction.
Though Jack would rather be living a simpler life and seeing his young family thrive, he and his aged "sidekick," Florence "Flori" Larsen, must travel into the untamed wilds where local fauna, scientifically mucked with decades before, snarl and snap, intent on chewing Humankind to extinction...
And the nomadic Human denizens aren't any less dangerous.
With ax and sledge, Jack has his work cut out for him.
There are a lot of great comic book projects out there right now and these are just a few of them. Make sure you check them out, share with your friends, and then check out the “WE ALSO RECOMMEND” section of Kickstarter to discover similar projects you may love.
Now, I’m going to make a Starbucks run (I swear my blood type is ESPRESSO by now), turn up my Run The Jewels playlist (Run The Jewels!), and get these Century House #1 comics packaged!
Talk to you soon.
