THANK YOU!

Seriously, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for making Hairology a possibility. We can't wait to deliver the comic to you, and are putting the finishing touches on the final product as we speak. 

We'll be keeping you updated in the next few weeks about delivery on the indie bundle, digital books, and of course physical copies of Hairology.  

Speaking about the indie bundle, during our last day (because of your help) we also unlocked a $19K stretch goal. We were able to add 6 titles to the indie bundle (A Gathering of Spells #1, Terminus Veil #1, Seidr #1, Deliver Us From Evil #1, White Owl #1, Home Free #1), making the total of comics a whopping 16

And if you're looking for more content to support. Here are some projects that are still LIVE...

Boston Metaphysical Society is one of the giants of Kickstarter! Don't miss a chance to grab a copy.

"Fleeing arrest in Boston, the team (Samuel, Caitlin, Granville, and Alma) arrive at the only safe haven they have--Tesla's Experimental Station in Colorado Springs. There they meet Tesla’s most unlikely partner, Meihui Zhou, a scientist from the Great House Zhou in California. Life gets more complicated when an attempt is made on Tesla’s life and Caitlin’s psychic abilities take a dangerous turn. Now, they must figure out who is trying to kill Tesla and what Caitlin’s visions are trying to tell her before anyone else dies."

MechaTon #4 & 5: A Rule-of-Cool Comic with Mechs and Kaiju

 If you've enjoyed our previous anthologies, you should check out MechaTon because they all have one thing in common - Wells Thompson. He wrote short stories for both volumes of Bi Visibility and is the creator/writer for Mechaton. 

"MechaTon is a story about fighting for your community against selfishness and authoritarianism, getting by with clever thinking and teamwork, and trying to out-pun your little sister and her strange, witchy significant other—also, trash robots punching giant monsters. Think Scott Pilgrim meets Pacific Rim."

IN THE LAND OF THE DRAGON #1-2: Cyberpunk Fantasy Comic Book

One of my good friends, Brant Fowler, is inching closer and closer to his goal!

"What happens when you know the whole world wants to defeat you? It's simple: you fight the world! Nothing is stronger than love, except a bullet in the face. Kenzo is good at his job; he has always completed whatever mission he has been given. Sometimes you can't choose, though. Sometimes you can only follow your instincts and face the consequences. But the Dragon fears no one."

©alifornia, Inc. - Issue #1

"It’s 2047, 18 years after ©alifornia seceded from the United States. After creating a new fresh water source to ensure independence, ©alifornia’s borders are closed, and it supplies 80% of North America’s produce. With Silicon Valley, high-tech is the largest source of revenue, their massive military presence is now privatized, and Hollywood PR continues to shape the world in its image. All citizens are employees of ©alifornia, Inc. and live the ideal ©alifornian life; surf, sun, and gluten-free. But as employees living on company property, certain privacy rights are waived. With CCTV on every corner, ©alifornia is little more than a totalitarian state masquerading as a utopia, and no one is bigger than the brand, even the top brass."

PORTRAITS - 4th sketchBOOK by artist Michael Penick

"What you will find in this book, then, is a collection of portraits done over the past few years with these ideas in mind. They are done in pen and ink because that is how I draw my comic books and is the medium I have devoted the most time to over the years."
