Thank You For A Great Campaign & Next Steps!
almost 2 years ago – Fri, Oct 21, 2022 at 01:48:09 PM

Good day my Wolf Pack!

I want to say how grateful that I am for you, my Wolf Pack members! Thank you, so much for being a part of the Snow Paw #1-2 campaign! Thank you for another great campaign! You Wolf Pack Members ARE THE BEST! I couldn't have done it without you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me continue my dream of making comic books! There is still more Snow Paw stories to be told and you are part of making that happen! I'm so very thankful that you are taking this creative journey with me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Here is a sneak peek of what's to come! This is an exclusive first look at the pencils by Chris Williams for first Snow Paw #3 cover! This cover features Snow Paw, Silver Mane, Akileo, Elenalue the Elf, and Turrorlig the Steampunk Dwarf on a 19th Century London rooftop ready for action! I hope you like it! Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

What Are the Next Steps?

A few things need to happen before we can kick off production and fulfillment. Here's a quick rundown:

First, Kickstarter needs to transfer over the funds, so that I have the money to make the rewards (this can take up to three weeks). Kickstarter has notified me that some of the payments were declined. If funds fall behind the unlocked Milestone and Stretch Goal thresholds, I won't be able to place the orders for those bonus rewards. Please double check your payment method in your Kickstarter account, so you can get your rewards and so that we can keep all of the unlocked Milestones and Stretch Goals.

Second, I need to find out your reward delivery information to send out your rewards. I will be sending you all a Reward Delivery Survey through BackerKit to collect this information.

I will give you a heads-up before sending the survey, so that you can watch for it in your email or spam folder. You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email contains a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as possible, since we need this information to process your rewards.

If you need to change your survey responses, purchase add-on items, or update your shipping information, you can click the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page. (This page will only start working after I send the surveys out.)

If you prefer, you can contact me directly and give me your information, but answering your survey helps me get your rewards out to you faster. BackerKit helps me to save a lot of time by streamlining the survey process, automating data organization, and providing me with pledge management software to make it easy to process your pledge reward shipments.

If you used your Facebook credentials to log into your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey link is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact me.

An All-New Speculative Mythology Comics Anthology!

It is speculative mythology at its finest and we’re challenging creators to imagine the kind of stories that might emerge when humanity finally starts calling Mars its home.

Now she's going to the next level - human experimentation. Luckily for her (and no one else), her allies in the Mob are more than happy to hand over their enemies for her to do her worst. She conducts the most gruesome experiments and creates the most horrible hybrids. Even children aren't off limits. Most die horribly, but a few survive, gaining incredible powers in the process. And they aren't happy about what she's done to them. No one more so than the Cthulhu Man, a being who grows so powerful, nothing can contain him. Will Dr. Douglas reap what she's sowed? And will the greatest horror ever seen be unleashed on the world? Find out in this Lovecraftian Horror meets action packed Sci-Fi comic book. Click here to visit the Kickstarter!

The Game 1-3

In the game of life, no one's been keeping score... until now. From the creators of White Ash and Glarien. Welcome to THE GAME

The 48 page oversized second issue issue contains Chapters Two AND Three of The Game.  Picking up where they left off, the story follows the down on his luck Eli, who on his thirtieth birthday is told he's Player Number 3 in a game that's been going for over a thousand years.  And that he needs to figure out the rules pretty quick if he wants to survive.

Dungeons and Dimwits - Issue 1

Imagine all the insane stuff that happens during your TTRPG games, put into one amazing comic!

The idea for Dungeons & Dimwits came about by James Mascia and a group of friends making jokes while playing some tabletop games. They started telling stories about some of the weird stuff players (and game masters) have done, and then James started visualizing what that might look like in the world of the game. What resulted was a book of comics, detailing some crazy stuff that they have seen, experienced, and possibly played through with their respective gaming groups. So, if you love spoofs about RPGs and fantasy, click here to visit the Kickstarter page!

Thank you for being part of the Wolf Pack! I appreciate you all so much! I couldn't do it without you! Have a great rest of your Wednesday!

We're continuing The Great Deluge storyline with another chapter after an immensely successful campaign last year with issue #7 following the events of the Crows of Mana'Olana story (collected as a trade paperback and available on this campaign as well!)

Discover an ancient mythology, perpetrated for centuries by a magical order that knows the secret of the creation of the worlds, in the two space-based stories: The copper roll and The old man and the Treasure of Treasures. The first an action space opera, the second a measured road story with unexpected protagonists.

Here is the synopsis: Nakoa and Nohea are two children living a happy, simple life in the remote islands of Hawaiʻi.

As they get older and gain some independence, Nakoa and Nohea earn the freedom to go off on adventures with their cousins a little further away from home. The kids soon discover that creepy things are lurking in the depths. Stakes are raised and new revelations come to light in Journey to ʻĪkua! Click here to visit the Kickstarter!

Sidequest #5

The end of the line - a Clash of Magic and Modernity! Which life does D'arik choose? Can Barca exact his revenge?

This one is a fun one with a great concept! Have you ever played a video game? Played a table-top role-playing game? Lost yourself in a book? Did you use that activity to escape reality for a bit, maybe blow off some steam? If so, you may relate to this book: when the stress of life gets to be too much for D'arik, he hooks up with his adventuring party to go on some quests! But what happens when he relies too much on escapism to cope? What happens when his choices begin to reflect his frustrations? If you’re a fan of fantasy, D&D, videos, and good storytelling, then Sidequest is for you! Click here to check out the Kickstarter!

Frankenstein the Unconquered #1 & 2: An Action-Horror Comic

Frankenstein's monster thaws from the ice 500 years in the future to find a bombed out apocalypse as hideous and broken as he is.

This one has a werewolf, or Wolfman as they put it, and an awesome variant cover by K Lynn Smith! Here is the synopsis: Seeing an opportunity to reinvent himself and live the peaceful life he always wanted, the Beast attempts to settle down and live simply with villagers who are unafraid of his ghastly appearance. But when soldiers come to collect their due, violence is the only answer the Beast can come up with, and his dream of living simply is ripped away. Having followed his war path to its bloody conclusion, the Beast was exiled to the stars, his legacy tarnished, his family flayed before his eyes. For thirty years, the world has known an uneasy peace, but the Beast never stopped fighting for control and now, on the dawn of the 200th year, the sky explodes and the Beast, bathed in the cosmic blood of stars and comets, has returned. God help anyone who stands in his way.  Click here to visit the Kickstarter page!
