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!

over 5 years ago – Tue, Dec 08, 2020 at 08:16:41 PM

Hey, everyone!

Last night, you did it! We reached our initial funding goal thanks to all of you! 

This is the most funded and most backed campaign I've done to date, and the support for this book has been nothing short of amazing! The entire team thanks you!

Now, sit back, this is going to be a bit of a longer update!

What Now?

There's SO MUCH going on right now... we are, as of today, in the FINAL WEEK of this campaign! So first things, first, TONIGHT I will be going LIVE on Facebook and YouTube, as I mentioned in the previous update, to usher in the final week and chat with anyone that wants to comment for a little bit. This will be at 6pm Central.

Will There Be Stretch Goals?

Yes, there WILL be Stretch Goals. I will post those soon! We've got a few cool things to share, so hopefully we get to unlock as many as we can!

In the meantime, I'll continue to share other cool campaigns I think you should check out as well, we might play some more games, and there are some other things I have up my sleeve if time and opportunity allows.

Milestone Unlocked! (New One Revealed!)
over 5 years ago – Sat, Dec 05, 2020 at 11:55:42 AM

Happy Friday, everyone!

I am happy to report that we have now officially unlocked this third milestone!

So now, EVERYONE is getting a Metal Bookmark from FaerieMetal.com!

(Digital backers, you'll get the high-res image in the form of a background or digital print!)

And with that...

So yay, you did it! Thank you!

Now I can reveal here what our next Milestone Bonus is!

NEW MILESTONE REVEALED!

When we reach 201 backers, we will release a brand new Reward Tier and Add-On for a 5" x 9" METAL PRINT of our project image, also by FaerieMetal.com!

I think that image is going to look FANTASTIC as a metal print hanging on your (and my) wall!

We are only 18 BACKERS AWAY from reaching that Milestone!

And when we do reach that, we will have broken our record of number of backers on a single campaign as well! So you'll be a part of TWO major milestones in our history! How cool is that?

Now, let me share another campaign before I go celebrate with a late dinner pizza!

Michael Avon Oeming, co-creator of POWERS has turned to Kickstarter with the latest issue of THE AFTER REALM QUARTERLY, and it's down to its final 48 HOURS!

The previous issues were published via Image Comics, so if you want to continue the series, this is where you do that exclusively! 

She struggles to find her friend to fulfill a promise they made about exploring the Nine Realms.

After saving her people from Loki, Oona sets out to explore those new worlds and record what has become of them,  and to record what happened to the Old Gods and the new peoples that inhabit it.

Wait, There's More!

As an added incentive for backing, if you back BOTH THE AFTER REALM QUARTERLY and LIKE FATHER, LIKE DAUGHTER #1-7, you'll get this amazing crossover print that was colored by my wife, Lisa Moore!

LEP Crate & Coasters Discount!
over 5 years ago – Wed, Dec 02, 2020 at 08:56:37 PM

Hey, everyone!

Happy Wednesday, I hope you're doing well and hanging in there until the weekend.

So before I talk about the title of this post, I got this package in the mail and wanted to show it off, so you can watch below:

They look so cool! And they're functional!

Which brings me to the title of the post...

LEP Crate & Coasters Discount!

You may or may not have noticed the price change over the past couple of days, but I discounted the LEP Crate & Coasters tier by $25! You can now get this deal for $175! It was previously $199.

With that tier, you get the complete LEP Crate with everything it contains, plus a set of the coasters. So if you were contemplating upgrading to a Crate, this is a great deal to get both!

You can also add on the Coasters to any physical pledge for NO ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST IN THE US, and only $5 extra for International!

My good friend Melissa "MJ" Massey is winding down her latest campaign for BLACK BALL #1-3, which is in its final hours. And if you like the concept of The Last Ember you'll really like this campaign as well as it's a magical murder mystery set in an alternate version of the 1920s!

Magic! Murder! Mystery!

In an alternate 1920s, America's 18th Amendment outlaws both alcohol and spellcraft--the technology once used to power modern American lives. While the Practical Scientists have stepped in with their new technology, Arcanists won't go down without a fight, and continue to trade spellcraft and crafting materials to keep the art alive.

In this double-length issue, the irreverent Chester Radison gets Emily involved in an underground spell-dueling club run by his bookie Mikey Hernandez. Our rag tag pair will have to contend with the seductive spell slinger Sherry Blair, and may even run into her husband, Connor Blair--who happens to be  a Practical gangster. And if Emily can survive all that, luncheon with her sister's fiancé might be a piece of cake.

Tyler Martin's THE ANTAGONISTS!
over 5 years ago – Wed, Dec 02, 2020 at 05:45:29 PM

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to let you know about a campaign that just launched, THE ANTAGONISTS. I am actually lettering the book and helped design the Kickstarter page, but that's not why I want you to check it out.

It's a really cool concept that sees a family of Supervillains akin to a counterpart of the Fantastic Four taking the lead. I love the twist in concept, and the book looks great! This is for issues #1-3. Go give it a look!

It's been twenty years since the world has seen or heard from the infamous supervillains known as Desructus and Ultima. After years of trying to take over the world the duo finally won during an attack on the capital, the first step of many to ensure world domination.

Their victory was short-lived however, as they vanished from the public eye. Wanted and pursued by the governments of the world the couple retired and settled down in suburbia Detroit. Now loving and hard-working parents Calvin and Tonya Eval struggle to keep their worst impulses in check and their past and identities hidden from their super-powered children.

Unfortunately for the Evals the past comes back to haunt them as they soon learn that redemption is easier sought than achieved after they are forced back into action to protect their family and the life they've worked so hard to build.

THE ANTAGONISTS comic series is all about perspective! Good people doing bad things and bad ones doing good things.

It’s about the thin line each of us walk everyday, the choices we each make daily on whether to be the hero or the villain.
