Hey everyone!
Unfortunately, there has not been much progress made, but it's more than nothing. We have been able to get a few more surveys turned in and only have 15 surveys left! These surveys are the main thing holding us back from completing this comic and sending it to the printer. Dezi is only waiting on a final list of names for the Thank You page.
I don't feel like I can put off the printing and release of this book, so orders will be locked on Sept. 20th. That means there is only ONE WEEK left to add anything to your cart, update your address, or complete your survey.
This will help get all of you wonderful supporters get these books into your hands quicker. Have no fear! If you need more time to complete your survey, you will still receive your rewards. Your name will not be able to be customized for the Thank You credits, but we will include the name listed on your Kickstarter account.
Miles Morales: Spider-Man Comic Complete!
Today is the day. I'm excited to share with you all the Spider-Man short fan comic I wrote. It was spectacular getting to work this team to share this story with the world. Devin Arscott was fun to work with and I appreciate his editorial notes. Marcus Jimenez's art and Lucas Gattoni's letters help brought this comic to life. It may be fan comic, but they help make this look like the real deal. You can read it here or below:
Criminals bound for the gallows make a deal with a demon to save their necks in this one-shot comic that's Dungeons & Dragons meets The Suicide Squad.
ONE-SHOT is a love letter to those memories made around the tabletop and the storytelling capabilities that such a rich fantasy world allows us to explore. Join the crew and set out on the adventure to help us to make this comic a reality.
Beem was a petty thief. Echo disparaged the wrong nobleman. Thonk smashed things - lots of things. Whatever reasons sentenced them to the Broken Bark, eight criminals now face the same fate: complete a perilous mission for the demon Loreck...or die trying.
Emelly is not your ordinary young adult; she is gifted with extraordinary abilities that allow her to become the world's greatest marksman. Her life takes a sudden twist when she discovers that a secret organization orchestrated the worst day of her life. Now, seeking vengeance, Emelly forms an unlikely alliance with Jake, a deserter with a disturbing relationship to this shadowy organization.

Hello everyone!
It's been one month since our last update. The Healer's Blade #1: PROLOGUE is nearly ready for the printer. Surveys have been sent out through BackerKit and 82% of surveys have already been completed! There are only 18 surveys that need completed, so we can finish the Thank You page. If you missed your survey, you can complete it here.

It's been one month since our last update. I was waiting for an update before publishing this update, but I can't put it off any longer. Now, there's a bit of bad news. The layout & book designer completed most of the work, but there's been a recent pause to production. The only pages left to design are: the Thank You page, 1-2 pages of backmatter material, and a promotion page. Once these are finished, we will finally be able to send the comic to the printer.
THWIP!
There's more good news too! The Spider-Man two-page fan comic has been continuing on pace. During the first two days of August, Devin Arscott sent his editing notes back and I sent the final script to Marcus Jimenez. The letters will still be completed by Lucas Gattoni.
In the meantime, I can show off one final snippet of the script for all of you. I'm excited for the entire comic, but there is one scene, in particular, that I'm looking forward to seeing the most. This wholesome family moment that Miles must remember to recover and finish the fight!
Kim Wright thought she had it all figured out. A great career, a loving boyfriend, and a dream promotion just around the corner. But her world is shattered when said boyfriend Ethan shamelessly takes credit for her work and steals her dream job. Fueled by hatred, Kim channels her knowledge of murder mysteries to devise the perfect plan to kill her boyfriend and get away with murder!
When her new home of Apex City was ripped out of existence and cast into darkness, Cássia Costa had to embrace an ancient power to become the legendary hero INFERNO GIRL RED. She rose to the challenge, pushing herself farther than she ever thought possible – but though Cássia protected the city from its first major threat, it cost her dearly.
Now, still reeling from a heartbreaking loss, Cássia must forge a relationship with a new mentor, and expand an unlikely team – because the consequences of her previous “victory” have come back to haunt her, and a villainous duo is on the rise!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to provide a quick update for all of you.
Stickers Ordered!

The sticker sheets have all been ordered! I've been in communication with Dezi about the book layout. Surverys are nearly ready to be sent out to each of you. I have also been tweaking my Spider-Man short comic with Marcus Jimenez.
In case you'd forgotten, not only is Marcus Jimenez the artist for the Spider-Man short, but his own comic on Kickstarter for fans of Star Wars, Dune, and other space operas comes a brand new galactic epic.
FALLING STARS#1 is nearly funded with less than a day left! The first comic is completed; digital editions will be sent out the day after the campaign ends.
Falling Stars #1 tells the story of Cero Unit, the Van Arfan Royal bodyguards, and their latest mission. Del Aeluin, the Star Snake, was placed in charge of Nola Van Arfan, The Crowned Head-to-be's protection. His duty was to keep her safe at all costs. Then one day, the Princess vanished from her tower… Cero Unit has one objective, to save the princess; they must kill the deserter.
Falling Stars #1 is the first issue of a new sci-fi action series. Co-created by Marcus Jimenez (The Whole World Blind, ISAI, Deadly Living) and Frankee White (Eat My Flesh, Drink My Blood, Starless DayDream, The Amber Door) with letters by Toben Racicot.
