Milestone UNLOCKED - Ignis Quadrant PDF + SPOTLIGHT
over 3 years ago – Thu, Jun 23, 2022 at 09:31:58 AM

We are at the halfway mark in the campaign - 2 weeks remaining. 150+ backers and $3,200 raised is absolutely amazing! Thank you everyone. Up next is Audio Commentary for every backer.  We're also very close to unlocking the Spark Trading Card! Remember to share if you haven't already.

Spotlight - Territory #1-3

I had the pleasure of connecting with Blake on Twitter and later on a YT Live Broadcast Blake's Buzz (different Blake). Blake has been a Torch supporter since the first campaign! I learned that he has an awesome story of his own and after hearing him talk about it on the Livestream, I had to share it with y'all.


TERRITORY is a post-apocalyptic kaiju story set in a far distant Pacific Northwest of the United States. Ancestors tell the story of how civilization was wiped from the earth in nuclear fire long ago. From the ashes of the destruction rose the Behemoths, giant creatures whose presence breathed life back into the land. The surviving people now live in tribes, worshiping the Behemoths as gods!

Announcing NEW Milestone Item! + SPOTLIGHT
over 3 years ago – Thu, Jun 16, 2022 at 01:52:43 PM

Good News! Fellow comic creator Evan Carothers has generously offered to include a Digital Copy of his comic book Ignis Quadrant: Novus Landing #1! We decided to make this digital an extra Milestone Goal. 150 Backers and everyone gets a digital copy. 


Evan and I are collaborators and sci-fi writing buds. I actually had the chance to write for Evan's Ignis Quadrant Anthology "Death in the Quad" which is coming to KS sometime next year.  I'll keep you posted once it comes out. 

Montana Bones is a hard-drinking, foul-mouthed gunslinger who has seen more bad days than good recently, and whose penchant for helping people gains him plenty of scars. In his latest exploits, he finds himself in the crosshairs of a local gangster in Novus Landing after saving a mysterious amnesiac scientist. 


Spotlight - The Saturn Effect: Alpha Vol.1

Evan also pointed me in the direction of this sci-fi gem. Cool art and a cool premise. Plus it's a complete run which you don't often see. Check it out!


Earth's control over the solar system is threatened as ragtag rebels and disenfranchised soldiers struggle for freedom when Star Wars meets The Expanse in THESATURNEFFECT! Follow stellar siblings Alpha and Centauri as they try to free the Titan Colonies from the Earth Empire in Volume One of The Saturn Effect: Alpha!

Big Milestone UNLOCKED ~ Upgraded Cover Stock
over 3 years ago – Wed, Jun 15, 2022 at 09:59:01 AM

That's right...Physical Backers Rejoice! Issue #2 Covers will now be a heavier, nicer stock weight, similar to Issue #1. Now your collection will match nicely. 


If you can, please share this campaign with others! I checked the KS analytics, and found that Twitter/FB sharing is largely responsible for these last few milestone accomplishments. You have no idea how powerful a referral is!


Cheers!
