Hello!

I know it has been a little while since our last update, things are progressing well, albeit a little slower than we originally expected, here at Lakeshore Comics!

How to Build an Army shipped a few weeks ago so we are very excited to have successfully fulfilled our second Kickstarter, and our third one, Broken Trident #2, will not be too far behind!

The artist is finishing up the last few pages, then we'll be on to lettering, and then it's off to the printer!  If you missed out on the Broken Trident #2 Kickstarter, don't worry, you can pre-order your copy here.

Check out the latest amazing artwork from Ailer and his team!

Also, I just want to remind you how awesome all 6 cover options are, we are so lucky to have such an amazing art team!

Thank you so much for your support and helping our comic creation dreams come true!

Hello and Happy Friday!

Broken Trident #2 ends tonight at 11:59PM CST.  We are currently at 105% of our funding goal with 112 backers.  This is our highest backer count we've ever had!  Because we passed 100 backers and 100% funded we have two more Milestone Bonus Rewards to announce!

Now, on top of all of the other FREE rewards, everyone who backs this project will receive a digital sketchbook and a high quality print of J'nor fighting a monster!  (If you backed at a digital level you will get a digital print.)

If you haven't backed Broken Trident #2 yet, click here to check out the campaign and jump on board!

Now that we have hit our funding goal it is time for stretch goals!  I know we only have a few hours left of the campaign but I'm hoping we can at least unlock the first one, maybe more.

Also, don't forget, I'll be live with Scott Harris-King tonight at 10PM CST!

Scott's campaign for his Comic, Quest, ends one hour before ours.  Check it out!

QUEST #1: Epic Fantasy Action in a Magical Realm!

A ragtag party of adventurers face an impossible quest with the fate of their world at stake!

Two hundred years after their world was devastated by a magical war, the heroes of a new age seek to recover the forgotten legacies of their lost home. Thrown together by fate, this ragtag band of adventurers are charged with an impossible mission: survive a thousand miles of haunted dungeons, bizarre monsters, ruined castles, and magical traps -- or see their world die!

Welcome... to Quest!

Scott and I will also be joined by George O'Connor, creator of Charlie's Spot!

Charlie's Spot—The Complete Series

 When a homeless veteran loses his prized busking spot, he sets off on a magical, bizarre, and heartfelt adventure to get it back.

When his prized panhandling spot in the city park is stolen, a guarded homeless veteran reluctantly teams up with a rag-tag group of park buskers and performers to discover who stole his spot and how to get it back.

Good morning!

I am very behind on this update and for that I apologize!  I had an impromptu business trip that lasted all of last week.  I am home now and ready to fill you in with excitement!

We hit our 75 backer milestone last weekend!  At the time of writing this we are actually at 88 backers and 91% funded with 12 days to go!

Now, everyone who backs Broken Trident #2 will receive a FREE digital copy of Happy Hill #1 by ComixTribe, and Mandrill P.I. #1 by Christopher Brimmage, plus all the other Milestone Bonuses!

Let's keep this ship moving!  Tell your friends!  Tell you family!  Tell your local government officials to back Broken Trident #2 on Kickstarter!  Click here to be redirected to the Broken Trident #2 page so you can back or share the link!

Also, we will be live on Comics Explained with JD Calderon tonight!  It is a rare occasion where Travis, Ailer, and I will all be able to make it!  JD will also have JayDee Rosario, Damion R. Waldbrunn, Scott Harris-King, and the above mentioned Chris Brimmage!  You don't want to miss this one!

One last thing before I go.  Our Friend Nathan Lueth's campaign for The Canon of Vangel #1-2 was a success.  As you know, if you backed his campaign and ours, you will receive a special edition cross over print by Nathan and Ailer.  To ensure you get the print, if you backed both, Nathan will be sending you a code to enter in the survey for Broken Trident #2.  You will receive our survey shortly after our campaign funds.

Thank you so much for your support!
