Live reveal of Derrick Chew's Cover!

Tomorrow night I'll be jumping on with my buddies over at the Comic Burrito podcast. They love comics and we love them.

Here's a reeeeeeally small peek:

Derrick did a fantastic job as usual, tune in to see the full reveal before anyone else!


Stake sketches at Megacon!

A buddy and amazing Stake supporter grabbed a few blanks from at Megacon this past weekend and had them sketched:

Ryan Kincaid and Mark Pennington Stake Sketches

I love seeing Stake art and different artists interpretations! We will have blanks available if anyone wants them for sketches from artists!


We're about $2k from the next stretch goal, so hopefully we hit it so everyone can get that sweet patch!


Back soon, thanks to all of you, the best backers in the world!

We’ve unlocked another awesome stretch goal!

Something happened this weekend while I was tabling at Megacon…we reached our 4th stretch goal!

That means it’s time to show you what’s next:

All physical backers will get this super cool iron-on patch!

Hopefully we can hit that, because the next one is doozy…


Some big reveals coming over the next few days, including Derrick Chew’s finished cover and Alan Quah’s B&W art.

Now time to decompress from Megacon and get back to work!

Thank you all again!

Scout has a fantastic offering with Charlie Stickney’s White Ash and The Game:

I will have some available for the campaign in the surveys as well, but not many.


We’re getting really close to the next stretch goal at $15k, if we hit this weekend, I’ll update on Monday after we get home from Megacon!

Thank you again!

Thanks to all of you we've crossed our third stretch and are ready to announce the 4th!

I said this one would be quick and related to the last one, well here it is!

The Jessamy print will be come double-sided and feature one of my favorite Stake covers of all time! Featured as the main art for Stake #3, Francesca's wild image of Angel getting ready to crack some skulls will belong to every physical backer!

COMING UP

I'll be setting up at Megacon tomorrow and appearing there all weekend with a really cool Stake Presents: Jessamy #1 exclusive!

John Giang black, white, and bloody

This will be limited and we will also have an individually numbered metal version limited to 25!

If you're coming to the show, make sure you stop by the booth! (46FA)

I'll be back soon!


And now, a few more campaigns worth checking out that are ending soon...


Sacrimony by M Sorcier

I had the pleasure of sharing a Kickstarter roundtable with M last week and jumped on her campaign:

"Khajad is dead. But now she's alive again.

So what's the catch?

She has no memory of her past, no explanation as to why she has magical powers or why she must hide her peculiar newfound white demon wings from society. Her mother, Yunika, thinks it's best to avoid answering any of Khajad's questions. For now, they must figure out how to survive the big city and find a means of living a normal life.

But can their lives ever really be 'normal?'"

Back it here!


Starlight Tavern: Happy Hour

From Bob Salley and Jason Sparich!

"WELCOME TO THE SKETCHIEST WATERING HOLE IN THE GALAXY. WE HAVE COMPILED COUNTLESS STRIPS FEATURING AN ORIGINAL CAST... BUT YOU CAN BE SURE TO SEE SOME ICONIC SCIENCE FICTION CHARACTERS MAKING THEIR WAY THROUGH EVERY NOW AND AGAIN.

BACK HERE!

We're stretching again! Stretch goal #2 has been unlocked, on to #3!

Stretch Goal #2 is unlocked, Magnets for all physical backers!!

What's next? I'll get to that soon...

First, let me introduce you to Pabliku Man.

Pabliku has drawn a large chunk of my upcoming horror one shot Canceled coming out through Scout imprint Black Caravan early next year.

We will have a three additional artists, but he handled the lion's share...Here's a little tease...


Everybody loves Larry! His 1950s daytime kid's show was a hit...until it wasn't. When he's replaced by a clown, he decides to take revenge on the local TV antenna, only to end up electrocuted to death. But is that the end of Larry? Not by a long shot...

Some art:

And a little to give you nightmares...

It's going to be creepy! 

So what does that have to do with this campaign? Well, Pabliku has drawn Jessamy and if we hit the next stretch goal, all physical backers will receive a comic-sized print with his art!

If we hit this awesome goal we'll have another great unlock at $15k!

Thank you all again, see you soon!
