The Last Ember: Hunted #1 - Urban Fantasy Mystery Comic
Created by Brant Fowler
Ember is hunted by a serial killer, harassed by bullies, and nothing is as it seems in this brand new arc and direction in The Last Ember saga! Great jumping on point!

Hey all!
As promised, we've hit $3,000 and beyond, so I am adding some Milestone Bonuses!
The first one unlocks at 75% ($3,150), so we're pretty close to that one already!
There's some significance to those last two that I'll explain when the time comes. But they mean something to me. :)
So the first Milestone Bonus will be...
TART is an amazing book by Kevin Joseph and Ludovic Salle, which brings me to...
My good friend Kevin Joseph has been serializing his series TART for a while now, and currently has a campaign coming to an end soon for issues 11-12 of the acclaimed series! Time travel, fighting demons and saving the world one issue at a time!
They pop in and out of time spreading discord and strife. Any change they cause could destroy history as we know it.
A group of time traveling soldiers stands against them. They call themselves The Toxic Fruit.
Their battle has been waged for many years, but they've never faced anything like this:
In Tart 11, the two newest recruits are taken on one last training mission before they join the fight. Their task: infiltrate Nazi Germany during the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
In Tart 12, the entire Toxic Fruit Organization must band together to try to repel The son of the King of Hell.
As I mentioned previously, I will be on Comic Island TONIGHT, so join me and Kat Calamia as we join Arden to talk Top 10 Comic Book Dads! Hope to see you there!

Hey everyone!
I hope you're enjoying the weekend and gearing up for the holiday for those in the States. We've got all our groceries purchased, and Lisa's finishing up sanding and staining a big table we will be using to play some board games on! It's what we do. :)
NEARLY $3K
As I'm typing this, we are a mere $13 away from $3,000! That's pretty exciting, and when we do hit that amount, I'll be announcing Milestone Bonuses, so keep an eye out!
Yesterday's Live Stream
Myself, Kat Calamia (Like Father, Like Daughter) and Will Allred (Crossover Division) got together yesterday for a live stream to talk about our crosspromotional print. It was a great discussion that went in a lot of directions from creating comics, to our experiences on Kickstarter, branding and much more. It was a great discussion! If you missed it, you can check it out here:
More Videos Coming!
Tomorrow night, I will be a guest on Comic Island alongside Kat talking Top 10 Comic Book Dads, and of course our Kickstarters. I'm not sure if it's live or pre-recorded, but I'll post and let you all know in case you'd like to watch.
Then, a week from Monday, I will be on Kat's channel doing a back and forth Q&A. After the holiday, I'll likely be sprinkling in a few more Facebook lives as well!
My friend Big Tim Stiles has a campaign running for a few more days right now, GORILLA MY DREAMS PRESENTS: LUCIFER BIM-BOM. This is a one-shot spinoff/prequel of Gorilla My Dreams, so if you're a fan of that you'll love this. It tells the origin of his nemesis.
GORILLA MY DREAMS is a black and white comic set in Struggle-Town, where the streets are protected by KNOCKAROUND-GUY, a clinically depressed gorilla who fancies himself a superhero. GORILLA MY DREAMS is best described as: HELLBOY vs. DOOM PATROL in the streets of GOTHAM CITY!
Written by Big Tim Stiles with special guest artist Dennis Tirona, the 22 page GORILLA MY DREAMS Presents: LUCIFER BIM-BOM explores the origins of the man who becomes the kingpin of crime and the most feared costumed criminal in Struggle-Town.
Lucifer is the dilettante son of voodoo gangster Clovis Bacchius. After failing his father one too many times, Lucifer and his crew find themselves in The Vigilance Correctional Centre; a prison for super powered, costumed, and exceptionally dangerous criminals. How does this spoiled rich-boy survive his incarceration with the worst of the worst? He’s gonna have to get his hands dirty…
Project We Love + New Live Stream!

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to let you know and celebrate the fact that we got picked as a Project We Love by Kickstarter yesterday afternoon!
I hadn't even noticed it, but saw it when I took a screenshot of the page to post in an email! haha
Very cool, thank YOU for your support because YOU made that happen!
YOUTUBE & FACEBOOK LIVE STREAM!
This afternoon at 3pm ET/2pm CT, I will be going LIVE again with my good friends Kathryn Calamia and Will Allred! This will be available on both mine and Kat's Facebook pages, and Comic Frontline's YouTube channel.
My friend Kurt has a cool campaign live right now for issues 1-2 of SPECTRESS & SABANION, and it's just $250 from hitting its goal! If you're a backer on The Last Ember, you'll appreciate the mystical and mythological nature of S&S as well!
Spectress & Sabanion is a supernatural horror story about Aneksi, the ghost of Cleopatra's top assassin. Aneksi has lived as a ghost for centuries and has learned to rejoin the world of the living. She is at the cusp of finding purpose in her unlife in the modern world of the living. She is, however, bound by an ancient curse to a demon named Sabanion. As Aneksi pushes more into the world of the living, she must drag Sabanion with her.
Issue #2 continues the story of Spectress and her demon partner, Sabanion, and their bloody escape from Containment Facility-4. They go up against the Moon Crew, the wardens of CONFAC-4, and the Exorcists, priests that wield the unknown power of The Sacred Forlorn.
We have one more variant cover coming soon (which will unlock some new reward tiers), and today I got a sneak peek at it! This is by Linnea, aka PapurrCat!
How beautiful is that?
Ember is going to have a fire aura around her when all is said and done.
So hopefully that will be fully revealed and added sometime next week!
My buddy Travis Gibb and friends have an anthology ending in about 4 days called CTHULHU INVADES OZ live on Kickstarter right now! It's a great looking book and so close to funding!
The Wizard of Oz is a timeless fantasy story known the world over. Lovecraft, and more notably Cthulhu, have been in our nightmares for more than 100 years. Comic creators have been telling stories in these worlds since the creation of the comic book. I have always loved these universes for years, and that's what inspired me to create this anthology.
Over 50 incredible comic creators got together to bring the blending of two different universes in the mystical world of Baum's Wizard of Oz and the horrifying world that is the work of Lovecraft's Cthulhu. When the Great Cthulhu invades Oz! This was war will change OZ FOREVER! This anthology tells one big story through the eyes of the different residents of Oz.

Hey all!
If you've backed one of my previous campaigns, you know I like to play the Caption Game. That's where I take a panel and you provide a caption for it. This time, though, let's mix it up a bit.
WANNA PLAY THE CAPTION GAME?
Okay, here's the way this is going to work.
I'm going to post an image from The Last Ember.
Then I'm going to ask you a question based on the image.
You then post your answers (GET CREATIVE!) in the comments.
Finally, I'll choose a backer from all those that entered on a live stream, and that person will get a backer bonus added to their pledge.
All backers that participate will also get a bonus digital comic!
Ready? Here we go:
WHAT DID QUINCY FIND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK?
You only have until Friday, November 20th at 3pm CT to answer. I'll draw the name on a Facebook live (which will be posted here as well) at 4pm CT the same day!
Have fun, can't wait to see your answers!
My friend Rylend Grant's campaign for THE PEACEKEEPERS 1 & 2 is ending in just a few hours! Rylend is a screenwriter and the creator of Action Lab: Danger Zone's Aberrant. If you're into small towns with dark secrets and bank robberies gone wrong, THE PEACEKEEPERS will be right up your alley!
All hell breaks loose in a quaint northern Michigan community when a team of in-over-their-heads bank robbers kills a beloved Sheriff’s Deputy. In a small town with BIG secrets, local detective Richard Holton races to peel back the layers of a depraved down home conspiracy before the bungling Federal Agents assigned to the case send everyone involved to ground.
