A Cornered Animal

Greetings my mighty loyalist,

We are losing special metal scientists, physicists, and high security facility HVAC workers at an alarming rate.


Give this video a gander.


So, essentially, we are losing scientists and researchers ad nauseam. People that are young, far from death, and maintaining good standing in life. People that work at highly scrutinized facilities such as Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Los Alamos. If you have been following me, you know I am very passionate about the likely reasoning behind these deaths and disappearances.

This is intensely concerning, not only for the breakthroughs and work these people brought to the table, but also because they have families. They have lives. These people are systematically targeted, and their loved ones are left holding the bag. This should be incredibly alarming and enraging to everyone, because we know it’s not coincidence, and we know it’s not joe shmoes doing it. The entity causing these deaths and disappearances obviously find these people to be nothing more than nuisances. In a world they see as bugs, those were just some of the queens. Lives, nuisances.

What is it that is so important to keep under wraps that they have to be so blatant about it? Bob Gymlan draws a good point, that this is boiling. Nothing makes this much of an effort unless it is becoming desperate. It’s a sad thing that people have to be sacrificed before the truth comes to light. People who did not sign-up to be killed, but people who signed up to discover and be honest.

Perhaps the silver lining is that this really does mean we are going to get answers. Whether it is alien tech, inter dimensional beings, our own advanced discoveries, or a mixture of all three, we will get something, because just look at them. It’s in the thumbnail. There’s something.

Now something Bob pointed out that I only just realized, cause im kind of stupid, or maybe I just lost sight at some point. The reason most of the richest people in the world want to downplay advanced tech, is because their gas and oil suddenly become irrelevant. If you can move through space and time manipulating gravity, then why the hell would we need cars? coal plants? oil? Hell, even the regular high end gaming rig with power supplies, graphics cards, and RAM becomes old school. Analog. That’s not just Boeing and Chevron. That’s Nvidia, that’s Corsair, that’s Ford. The economy globally would be in shambles. OF COURSE the public discourse of this would be manipulated and managed by governments, NASA and Space X, the rich with vested interests.

It’s a farce.

I Have a Confession

Greetings my mighty Legion!

I have a confession. I miscalculated several things, and I need to cancel this project.

The TLDR: Bad News

  • I underestimated how many pages I would have in Issue 4.

  • Subsequently, the issue should/needs to be split into two parts.

  • The increased page count has increased the pricing estimates for the floppy comic and for the trade volume. Not to mention the shipping.

  • If this funds, the money would be insufficient for the work.

  • Increased page count also means more time and strained deadline on promises made.

  • I need more for back issue printing to fulfill rewards.

  • I don’t think I can undertake a two front load of learning file formatting for two new printers.

The TLDR: Good News

  • Part 1 for this new endeavor is completely done given a couple of bonus pages.

  • I already have the new cover DONE.

  • The new pre-launch page is LIVE.

  • The same variant cover, tiers, and remasters are still on the table.

  • When we hit 80 followers, this project can go live.

Here’s the Link!

So, there it is. I made this decision for a trade paper back a year ago, not knowing exactly what the future would hold. When I decided on the launch day, I thought it would work in tandem with being at our state’s largest convention, and I also suspected I would be about done with 50 pages of work around that time. Well, I am almost done with 50 pages sitting at 38, but after reviewing floppy comic specs and my outlines, im not almost done with the finale for this first part of the series. Here inlays the problem.

My mission is to give you a quality story to the best of my ability. I don’t rush things I don’t think should be rushed, or at least, I try not to. That means if I think I have to make a 5th issue as a part 2 to the finale of this arc for the sake of the story’s moving parts, then that’s what I’m going to do. An issue 5 will easily be another 30 pages.

All this to say that I could be stretching the limits of a staple bound comic and would have to go soft bound if this was one huge issue. That is a huge price hike when it’s in the 80 page range. That’s an entire story in of itself, and kind of conflicts with making a volume 1. As well, there are all the other price increases with that many added pages. I also promised behind the scene/ abandoned pages, commission pages, shoutout pages etc. (The bonus content of a deluxe) And it’s just so much more than anticipated.

Finally, I’m new to the world of graphic novel printing. My intentions were to use Print Ninja as the printer, and they’re new to me. Different printers have different methods, templates, etc. It always comes with complications. I’m also switching to using Comic impressions rather than Comix Wellspring. Same issue, given im more familiar with a floppy comic. So to tackle these changes on top of making commissions, 30+ more pages, and all the scroll-able assets. It’s a lot of promises that I’d rather not face all at once.

Another piece of this is the need for back-issues. I need to order more issue 1 and 2s for anyone that requests them, and again, the funding goal just won’t cover that.

I want to say thank you again for showing up in this campaign. You all blew me away! I mentioned before the TOTAL number of backers for my previous campaigns was 32, and you surpassed that in a matter of days! We sit a 44 backers with two weeks left! But I had to give this an objective look. I don’t want to waste your time.

This has been an extremely difficult decision to determine, but I think it is for the best.

What Now?

So, where does that leave us? Well you see the link up there! Go sign-up!

I have this version of issue four 99% done with an achievable goal that has room to make everything quality, on time, and not strained. And I have to say im quite proud of this cover. What happens to the standard cover from this campaign? That cover is more related to what issue 5 will be, so I’m going to reserve it for that!

I’ll launch when we hit 80 followers, so it’s important that you just go press “Follow” or “Notify me on launch”

New Kickstarter

Thank you all so much for your support and I hope you understand,

Comix Well Spring Special

Greetings my great Legion!

It’s been one of those weeks. I love what I do, I love it a lot, but it’s stressful trying to make it work for the regular world. You guys showed up for the launch, though, and I really appreciate it. I would love it if you joined us tonight at 5:30 CTD as I draw with some of the boys. Jump in the chat and ask questions and you’ll be able to pick the brain of other artists as well! This is an event hosted by Comix Well Spring called Spilled ink. It’s just a livestream that goes on every Thursday at 5:30 CDT. So give them a subscribe!

Oh…

And there’s a little special I’m running on the Kickstarter for the single issue 4’s for this little live-stream. But you gotta jump in and say hey!

Thank you for reading and kind regards,

Upcoming Envy Updates Are Looking Sick

Greetings my great Legion,

  • The Envy updates are going to be so fun!

  • We hit 30+ backers on the campaign!

  • I’ll be be on a couple of shows this week.

    • They will have Campaign discounts.


Upcoming Envy Updates

A sneak peek of page 38.

This page has a lot more going on than I’m showing, and I can just see so much of this finished piece in my mind. I won’t be spoiling what this is, but if you’ve been following closely, I bet you could figure it out. These next few pages are going to be intense visually and with dialogue. With that being said, I am starting to be a little behind what I had managed later last year. I am a man of quality, and I want this to be great. So stay tuned.


30+ Backers

The NSFW digital download for Sam has been unlocked and will be sent during fulfillment given the discretion!

This is so amazing. My first two campaigns both brought in 30 backers total. It took all I could do to get them, you. All my heart. But this one, I have been building this for almost a year and that part paid off. But I still have so much to go. And I’m working three times as hard to push this.

I’m giving my altar call.

It would be an honor if you pledged to the Legion for this campaign if you have not already. Your funds will not be pulled unless we do fund, and if you come across a discount link, you will always be able to edit your pledges.

Thank you so much for making this possible.

Greetings Loyalist,

The Huntsville Expo Special

Thank you for reading.

Envy Issue 4 Kickstarter

Greetings my great and mighty Loyalist,

As the impending Launch of Envy Issue 4 and Volume 1 is upon us, I wanted to do a quick reward preview for you all and go over the details of some shipping situations.


Background Character Tier!

This is exactly what it sounds like. As I create and develop more properties for American Demon Comics, I will be needing to fill up those pages. This will include upcoming titles and future Envy updates. So if you want to be an illustrated part of this world forever, now you can. This isn’t strictly just for your own self, but this is open to an original character, given the appropriate setting.

Digital Commission

Request a digital commission! Anything from my world or yours, as well as anything demon, fantasy, pin-up, or cryptid. Some things I will not do, such as angular robots, big two IP’s and adjacent (Darkhorse/ Image), or furies. I want all of these to be shared within the American Demon Comics umbrella and projects. For example, if the commission is decided and requested to be in the book before the end of the kickstarter, I will have it put in the back with bonus content! Oh, and this also comes with your core products and only holds 10 slots!

Shipping Details

US rewards will have free shipping! Most tiers will have shipping to EU, UK, AU, and CA and it is quite expensive, but the option is there. However some of the more complicated or heavier tiers will have to remain US exclusive. So be sure to check those options as you decide.

There are plenty more tier options and, of course, you subscribers will be first in on the special deal links!


The Best of Indie

After reading the most recent, Hellhound on my trail, Bigfoot Knows Karate is not only brutal and action packed, but also hilarious. Seeing the Chupacabra dual wield shotguns was not in my aspirations in life, but i’m certainly better off now after seeing it. Check out the upcoming campaign later this month!
