Hello!

This is what happens when you post late night updates after working 14 hours in one day:

You see that grammar?  That's impressive!  It obviously should have said, Since we're at 75%, everyone who BACKS Broken Trident #2 WILL RECEIVE three free digital comics...

I would say don't judge me, but that's not fair, because I'm judging me!

Also, just a quick update to let you know we will be live on Nerdtastic News with Manuel Mendiola, Wed 5-24, at 8PM CST!

Click the above image, right here, or the link below to tune in!

Good morning!

The campaign has only been live for a few days and we are already 44% funded!  That means we're very close to the 50% Milestone, which means more free stuff!  Thank you so much for your support on this project!

I received a new, unfinished, page from the artists this morning, and I am so excited about it so I have to share it with you, check this out!

I cannot wait to see this page in full color, and I'm thinking I will turn this into a print as well!

As always, I love to share my fellow creators projects.  I have personally backed both of these and they look amazing!

This first project is by my friend Chris Brimmage

Who stops cartoons when they turn criminal?

MANDRILL P.I., that's who!

When you’ve had a career as long and storied as this hardboiled, hard-drinking private detective, you make a lot of enemies. And as he takes a case to rescue a pair of kidnapped toddlers, he finds himself being hunted by mysterious figures from his past. If he doesn’t turn the tables and stop them in time, they won’t just murder him, they’ll slaughter the kids and everyone important to him!

Will he put an end to their reign of terror before it’s too late? Or will he and his friends meet a most gruesome end?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brimmage/mandrill-pi-novel-vol-2

The next one is from my friends Jayel Draco and Lynsey G from Oneshi Press

Monkey Maids is an absurdist novella in the Tales from Existentia collection from IPPY-award-winning author Lynsey G (Tracy Queen, PACK), featuring cover art and illustrations by Jayel Draco (Mr. Guy: Zombie Hunter, Children of Gaia).

🐒When Leo's roommate goes on vacation, he gets bored. So, just like anyone would, he purchases 17 monkeys to keep himself occupied.

Now, with his roommate's return looming, he's got to learn how to feed and groom them…plus how to convince Liz to let him keep the whole troop.

Renting them out for parties seems like the logical choice. What could possibly go wrong?

Equal parts funny and hair- (or should we say fur-) raising, the story includes shenanigans aplenty, quite a few ruckuses, at least one hullabaloo, and a search for connection that spans species.

Again, thank you so much for your support, I could not do this without you!

Have a great weekend!

Broken Trident #2 is live!
over 1 year ago – Tue, May 16, 2023 at 07:05:26 AM

Hello!

Broken Trident #2 just went live!

Click here to check it out!

Broken Trident #2 Cover A

Another super cool thing about the Broken Trident campaign is that we got writer/artist Nathan Lueth (Impure Blood, Concrete Arcanum, The Canon of Vangel) to do a guest cover and a cross-over print with our artist.

Nathan Lueth/Ailer Azusano Crossover Print

The only way to get your hands on that print is to back Broken Trident #1-2 on Kickstarter as well as The Canon of Vangel #1-2.  Click the above image to head over to the Broken Trident page to learn more!

Speaking of Nathan, as I stated, he is the creator of the Canon of Vangel, which is live right now for another 15 days, check it out!

Ten years in the future, after a magical reawakening has thrown the modern world into chaos, a wandering Paladin is on a mission to help magical and mundane folks alike navigate the strange new world, face her demons, and  pump the brakes on the apocalypse in progress.

If you like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, and The Dresden Files, then you are going to love The Canon of Vangel!

Thank you so much for your support!  We could not make this dream come true without you!
