Pledge Manager Survey Smoke Test

Six of you have received the Pledge Manager survey in the smoke test. Please fill this out if you want your rewards! The rest will receive it if everything goes well with the original six. Everything is ready to ship, so the earlier you fill out your survey, the faster you'll get your rewards.

Coming Soon: Colorful Heresies # 2!

Colorful Heresies # 2, the horror anthology in every color, is finished and ready for launch on Kickstarter on March 3rd! All 49 story pages (52 pages total) are drawn, colored, and lettered, just in time for the launch.  This massive standalone second issue of Colorful Heresies focuses on stories themed around the colors green, blue, indigo, and violet, in the subgenres of cosmic, psychological, fairy tale, and existential horror, along with the second part of the framing sequence from the 44-page # 1 that's a sequel to our Halloween-themed psychological horror story, "Dr. Orange." Follow the prelaunch page at colorfulheresies.com to get a notification to take advantage of early bird deals.  

You did it!

The campaign is over! Thanks to all the pledges and shares!

What's next?

Next I'll be sending out surveys in the pledge manager in the next few days. If you get a notification that your card didn't go through, please fix it as soon as possible, or else you won't get your rewards. If you are a print backer, also make sure to fill out your address. Once you fill out your pledge manager survey, you'll have to pay shipping if you got physical rewards. Soon after that, I'll send out PDFs, pins, and print comics.

Colorful Heresies # 1-2 Coming



Colorful Heresies # 2, the horror anthology in every color, is coming to Kickstarter on March 3rd.  This massive standalone 52-page second issue of Colorful Heresies focuses on stories themed around the colors green, blue, indigo, and violet, in the subgenres of cosmic, psychological, fairy tale, and existential horror, along with a framing sequence that's a sequel to our Halloween-themed psychological horror story, "Dr. Orange."  You can also get the 44-page # 1 for stories focused on red, orange, and yellow in the same campaign if you missed it last year. Follow the prelaunch page at colorfulheresies.com to get a notification to take advantage of early bird deals.

15 Backers Reached!

We just reached 15 backers, which means everyone gets a free PDF of Siren's Song!

New Achievement: 55 Backers



Our next achievement is at 55 backers.  At that time, we'll give away a free PDF of the Insymmetry Creations Sampler for all backers, plus for anyone who ordered a physical item (including just a lapel pin) will get a free print copy of The Order of Dracula # 3 Cover B variant (Lawrence of Arabia variant) by artists Greg Woronchak and Maulana Faris. This variant is otherwise unavailable in the campaign.

DateBotz



Mankind has entered the Robot Age. Humanoid robots are indispensable to the daily grind of modernity, performing functions once only reserved for humans. Most people are grateful for the help. There are bots for everything: manual labor, personal security, childcare, combat sports. And, of course, companionship. Shinsun MegaCorp is the market leader in love androids. Predictably, all this comes with a high price tag. The ultra-wealthy can afford their own private models, but the average person on a universal basic income can only hope to enjoy their company momentarily. Pay to play. The DateBotz return to the factory after liaisons to be decontaminated and updated. A delicate balance has been struck, but there is something brewing under the surface: a growing undercurrent of unrest . . . you can get it here on Kickstarter for 18 more days.

New Interview

I did an interview yesterday with comic creator Edward Davis (IMMORTAL ERA) and others where we talked about the campaign and also talked about whether nostalgia can be good or bad for comic creation on Saturday Morning Comic Talk - check it out here.

Two Backers to Go until Achievement

We're now at 13 backers so we've only got 2 to go until we meet our 15-backer achievement - everyone getting a free PDF of Siren's Song! Keep spreading the word and we can meet that and add on more achievements.

Let's have a great last 11 days of the campaign! I'm already almost done setting up the Pledge Manager so we can do surveys as soon as possible afterward. And all rewards are ready to ship, so when you see those surveys drop, be sure to waste no time filling them out so you can get your rewards as soon as possible. See you on the other side.

You Did It!

We have hit and exceeded our goal! Thank you to all who backed and shared! That means, unless people cancel and bring us below the goal amount, we will be fulfilling all rewards.

What's Next? A New Achievement!



In celebration of funding, I just added a new Achievement to the campaign. At 15 backers, all backers will get a free PDF comic - Don Nguyen's and Andy Nordvall's Siren's Song. But what is Siren's Song? This is how the creators tell it:

"Won by a pirate captain in a hand of cards, Pip struggles to survive as a lowly cabin boy aboard The Mottled Swift. Eido is the youngest of an ancient race called many things like siren, mermaid, witch, demigod.  Yearning to escape from her island prison, Eido investigates a mysterious ship in the harbor and winds up rescuing young Pip from drowning. Together, Pip and Eido must elude both peoples, leading them to a desperate voyage into the Land of the Dead, where they will find their loyalties – and their friendship – tested."

Sound cool? It does to me! This isn't available anywhere else in the campaign, so the only way you can get it for free is if enough backers come on board. So tell your friends and we'll have an amazing last 20 days of the campaign or so. If we meet this Achievement, another will be on the horizon.
