Monster Crew, we did it!

A big thanks to all you wonderful and amazing Early Backers! You are the reason we hit our initial funding goal in the first 24 hours! 

We couldn't do this series without you. I truly mean that. The comics and book world has been a rocky road lately, so having you here with us makes all the difference in the world. I hope the bonuses and extras added throughout this campaign show you how much we appreciate you!

On that note, it's time to talk our first Stretch Goal and Backer Bonuses. 

The Primal Woods postcard size print (4"x6") will be sent to all backers who pledged at the physical level when we hit our next funding goal. A digital version will be sent to every backers. A comic-sized version of this gorgeous illustration is also available as a limited edition metal print connected to this campaign as an add-on and reward tier. Only 25 of the metal prints will be printed and numbered. 

We also unlocked the 125 backers bonus so all backers will receive another digital comic, Immortal Coil #1. 

When we hit 150 Backers, we unlock The Fog Within by Sean Wood and Devin Deon. 

Sean has another Kickstarter project in pre-launch. It's part of the horror Hospice world. 

Hospice: The Scaled Key - A Supernatural, Horror Comic

Redgrave as a hunter controls demons that he conquers while trying to close the gateway to hell with his dragon scaled arm as the key. 

It's Devil May Cry meets Hellboy with a Pokémon like twist. 

If that is your thing, definitely Give the Project a Follow.

I want to say it a few more times because I so appreciate you being here. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Until next time, stay spooky!

Jessica

P.S. If there are any bonuses you are interested in us adding, please leave a comment. I'd love to hear from you!

Hi First Day Backer!

Thank you for showing up on Day 1! I can't wait to deliver the super cool sticker sheet created by Mark Mactal to this amazing first day crew! Thank you! Thank you!

It was a pretty great first day. We are 80% funded, and it's all because of you!

I'm so in love with Anna's art on this comic and completely gaga over Carla's variant cover. I feel super grateful to be surrounded by artists and their amazing work in these super crazy times. 

We hit the 100 backers goal which means all of you will get the amazing first issue of Glitch. I adore this solarpunk comic by Sarah Landauer, Alson Novak, James Vanderah.

The next Bonus will unlock at 125 Backers. It's Issue #1 of Immortal Coil by Gerald von Stoddard, Guilherme Lindemberg.  

Immortal Coil is the award nominated series that blends Norse mythology told through the lens of Eldritch horror in a modern world. It has a live campaign right now so if that's your thing, go check it out!

I can't wait to unlock more of these bonuses for everyone!

Stay Spooky!
