Heroes Con
It was really great seeing some of you at Heroes Con this weekend. I was so happy to hear so many people who came up say they had backed the campaign or were going to! What a truly humbling experience.
I hope to see more of you out and about at shows and signings!
Stretch Goal #3 Unlocked
So we crossed the $10k threshold this afternoon, for about 5 minutes, then dipped back down below. As always, I'm going to honor the unlocking of the stretch goal and say that we will get that last $16 dollars (as of this writing) to get back over the $10k mark again!
In case you forgot:
We're unlocking a refrigerator magnet featuring Miki Okazaki's art! This is for all physical backers and will go great with the other Stake, Canceled, and Skin Deep magnets. If you don't have the others, I'll make them available on the BackerKit survey!
I'll have a new stretch goal up for you all tomorrow!
Other awesome campaigns!
HOW I SLEPT MY WAY THROUGH COLLEGE AND OTHER TALES FROM FRESHMAN YEAR is an adult thriller comic book series from the co-creator of White Ash, The Game and Glarien.
Written by Charlie Stickney, with art by Emiliana Pinna, colors by Dearbhla Kelly, and letters by Conor Hughes, the 24 Page third issue of HISMWTC continues the story of Stephanie, an ambitious young college freshman who's swept up into a game of cat and mouse with a brilliant professor, whom she discovers is running a high-end escort service using students as call girls. Think -- House of Cards having a three-way with How To Get Away With Murder and The Girlfriend Experience.
Charlie is a good friend of mine, so check it out his campaign for a high quality, entertaining book!

The Völsung Saga is one of the most significant and influential Nordic sagas, playing a central role in Scandinavian literature and mythology. It tells the legend of the Völsung clan, filled with tragic fates, heroic deeds, and supernatural interventions.
I recently found out I'm of Scandinavian ancestry (at least a little bit), so this kind of stuff is obviously about my people, right!?!

We couldn't be happier with the launch so far...
And it's all because of you wonderful backers!
We've already blown through 2 stretch goals and are working toward the 3rd.
We have added an add-on for a new version of the hardcover with Miki Okazaki's art on the dustjacket!
If you've backed any of my campaigns you may have a few of these on your refrigerator, so it's that time again!
IF WE HIT $10,000 on the campaign, we'll unlock this Miki Okazaki Stake Presents: Jessamy Vol 1 magnet for all physical backers!
We're over $8,000 already and have some cool stuff planned if we can keep this rolling!
EXCLUSIVE CROSSOVER!
How would you like to get your hands on this exclusive Snow Paw and Jessamy 5x7 print by Evan Scale?
My friend Rob Multari and I are proud to present this epic crossover print to anyone who physically backs Night Wolf Vol 1-2 Urban Fantasy Werewolf Coming-of-Age Epicand Stake Presents: Jessamy Vol 1! We will also send digital backers a hi res digital version!
Born into the outcast breed of werewolves known as the Monoki, eighteen-year-old Rodney Marcelli is reluctantly pulled into an ancient war between good and evil, during a modern time where the line has blurred.
With the help of Snow Paw, the Pureblood Monoki, and the supernatural evil slayer, Night Hunter, Rod must learn to master his newly found lycanthropy and mysterious kinetic energy power that only he possesses. Rod must fight the Dark Covenant in order to avenge his friends and family, and to save the girl he loves from the master vampire, Lord Malice.
Rodney Marcelli is Night Wolf!
BACK NIGHT WOLF VOL 1-2 NOW RIGHT HERE!!
The campaign is still just getting underway, but we really can't wait to get this printed and in your hands...who am I kidding, I can't wait to get this in my hands too!!
We are funded and on to stretch goals!

First of all...THANK YOU!
As always, none of what we do would be possible without the support of all of you backers.
You are the lifeblood of this series and everything my teams and I do in comics!
We have hit the funding goal and blown past it, so we better get into announcing some stretch goals before we slide on by them as well!
First up, a lot of times our friends who back digitally are left out of the Stretch Goals as we fill the physical packages with extra goodies. This time I wanted to start off with something for everyone, and something that hopefully brings out the kid in all of us!
If we reach $5,000 we will be sending every backer an 8.5 coloring page of Caio Cacau's Stake Presents: Jessamy - Exilé cover line art!
Maybe we'll have a contest for people to submit their colored pieces?
UPDATE, stretch goal #1 UNLOCKED
Soooooo, as I was typing this we passed the first stretch goal:
On to the next...
...which we will have for you tomorrow as the graphic is still being built!
EARLY BIRD Reminder
Just a reminder for physical backers, we have a $1 copy of Caio's cover available for the first 48 hours of the campaign. All you have to do is go to the add-ons section of your pledge and add it for a $1 (this is en lieu of the $1 shipping we add per extra book since Kickstarter will not allow free add-ons).
If you didn't add it to your pledge and you want it, make sure you do it before Thursday at 10AM EST!
Ending Soon from our friends!
There are few campaigns ending in the next few days I'd love for you to check out and back if you fancy them!
"Deep in the southern swamplands of Florida, a gripping tale is about to surface from the murky waters below. Jonathan Hedrick, acclaimed comic book creator and writer of hit comics such as The Recount, Quicksand, and Dream Master, is set to unleash Brackish upon the indie comics community—an enthralling, 24-page narrative that breaks the truce between two feuding families and, once more, threatens to stain the swamp with the blood of generations.
This comic promises to reawaken buried secrets, open old scars, and inflict fresh wounds as both violence and romance erupt within these dangerous waters."
DREAMQUEST 2: The Crawling Chaos is a 48-page sequel set in the universe of H.P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle.
Written and lettered by Clay Adams (BLAZING BLADE OF FRANKENSTEIN, RED XMAS) with art by Mick Beyers (WHITE ASH, A QUEEN OF MARS), colors by Alex Zief (CARMILLA UNBOUND, MONSTER MATADOR) and edits by former Marvel and DC editor Frank Pittarese, DREAMQUEST expands on Lovecraft's Dream Cycle--imagine Re-Animator meets Dream Warriors.
We're looking forward to a great campaign and hopefully unlocking lots of cool stuff for you all through stretch goals.
We have already added an add-on at the request of a long time backer, can you find it? (HINT: it's one of the coolest items we do in these campaigns)
Back soon with more updates!
