2023
almost 2 years ago – Sat, Dec 31, 2022 at 06:04:20 PM

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a great holiday with your families, ate fantastic food and got everything your heart desired.  I just wanted to check in with everyone and give a small update. 

Everything is still on track with the second issue of Vengeance. Jake should be done in March as we already were shooting for, then we will have to send it off to the printer. The only thing I didn't factor in before the launch, was the color issues. Color was nothing something we envisioned originally for Vengeance, as I like the story told in black/white myself. Though with Cam joining the team, it led to us now getting color versions of both issues. I just spoke with him yesterday and the first issue should be completed by the middle of January, so I should have those issues at my house in February.  When he is done with issue one, he is going to be working on issue two, while Jake is still completing pages. I am pretty certain that eventually he will be waiting on Jake to get finished with the pages, so he will have to have the completed issue two before Cameron is complete with the colors. I am thinking that it will still be March when it is all said and done for coloring on the second issue, but with the printer having to get the copies sent out, it may be April before I get them out to you all.

We shall see how it goes. I'm doing the lettering as pages come in, so the moment I get the last page put in our Drive folder, then that same day I will have the book sent to the printer. It is all going to be down to just timing and how things work out. WE WILL SEE AND HOPE IT ALL WORKS OUT GOOD. If it does end up being April before it gets to you, I hope that's cool if you are getting black/white and color versions of the book at no extra cost, but if you are really upset about it, then reach out and I will send you a free sticker or do a little Tik Tok dance for your eyes only. Whatever makes you happy. 

We have so many cool things coming in 2023 by the way. Issue 3 Kickstarter should be launching this year as well. I have a whole new outline, after we condensed down the first arc down to just three issues and I can't wait to see how the script comes out. The outline is amazing and honestly if my script turns out to be as good as what I have envisioned, it might be the best thing I have written.  We also will have another Kickstarter launching for a whole new project at the end of Summer tentatively. I'm not writing it, so I'm really ready to promote other stuff through Original Geek Comics that I am not the brains behind. There's also a smaller project we have coming up that just the small idea of it had me begging for more. It is bonkers. You just stick here, and we will let you know more later.

Have a great rest of 2022,

Nick

An Epic Conclusion
about 2 years ago – Tue, Nov 01, 2022 at 05:14:59 AM

Wow. We hit $3,000. 200% funded. Not bad for someone’s second comic ever. Thank you so much for the support and I hope you enjoy all the comic goodness coming your way.

The book is halfway complete and we are on track for a March release. We may have a cool annoucement soon regarding a new book, but I can’t give any details at this time. I’m out of here, but I will drop some updates soon. Be well, and thank you. 

Stretch Goal #2 Unlocked/ What’s Next?
about 2 years ago – Sat, Oct 29, 2022 at 01:43:04 PM

We hit that $2,500 goal, so good things are on the horizion! If you can read this, then you are getting a full color version of issue one. I’m super excited to see the full thing in color! 


Now we move on to the next stretch goal. $3,000 will get everyone issue two IN FULL COLOR! We are like 50 something hours left on the campaign and anything can happen I guess. Heck, before I could finish typing this up someone just donated $100 so we are only $400 away from that next stretch goal. Honestly, I’m not sure what we are doing after that, but let’s see if we can get us this next one first. Tell your friends! Increase your pledge! If everyone increased by $5 (since I am giving free shipping you can just think you are paying me for that lol), then we could be even closer and I thjnk I can get a few more people to donate to get us there! 

Stretch Goal #2 & Campaign Shout-Outs
about 2 years ago – Tue, Oct 25, 2022 at 08:02:49 AM

I don't know if you guys have noticed, but late last week we hit the $1,750 stretch goal and unlocked the Asselin Variant! I announced on Saturday our next stretch goal on our social medias while I was at an event, but I didn't have time to do an update. It's been a crazy few days, and I am just now getting to that update. So, for our next stretch goal, which is $2,500, we will give everyone who has backed or even just bought our first issue, another first issue. The difference? It WILL BE IN FULL COLOR!!! This a huge deal as we know some people are turned off by black/white art, so we hope this will help us hit a new audience. Cameron Asselin will be doing the colors for the issue and he also joined us at Original Geek Comics, and will be bringing his own comic to life soon. Tell your friends to donate so they can get you a free color issue one!

Let's shout out some cool campaigns from even cooler people!

The Legend of Sparkledog #1: Don't Say OwO

A multi-genre reality shifting horror adventure!

But once the fursuit arrives, Quinn discovers that the suit might be the one wearing them.

Join Quinn on a multi genre reality-shifting horror adventure as they try to collect the Four Chrystal Paw Pads to bring peace back into the world...or are they?

Issue One sets the stage for this absolute nightmare of a story!
