Hey, {{first_name}}!
We're cruising right along! Progress is slow but steady. This is the marathon portion of the campaign. Now we just gotta keep the pressure on!
I'd also like to take a minute to let you know about a couple other cool projects that I think you'll like!
WAILING BLADE
by Rich Douek and Joe Mulvey
Set in a Sci-Fantasy dystopia ruled over by ruthless warlords, Wailing Blade follows The Head-Taker, a merciless executioner who travels the travels the breadth of the Tyrant’s empire, dispensing justice and enforcing his will.
this one is a must for fans of Conan, Elric, Masters of the Universe and other sword & sorcery epics
NIGHTMARE THEATER is a paperback comics anthology collecting horror stories by some of the biggest names in indie comics. With stories inspired by horror cinema--from Poe to Alien, ghosts and ghouls, slasher films, tales of terror, B-Movie scream fests, monster movies, Stephen King creepiness, stylized Kubrick hauntings, Romero zombies, demon possession, occult, and otherwise. This one will definitely scratch that Halloween itch!
In other news...I think it's high time I brought back:
That's right! Every day, one new backer will be chosen at random to get a digital sketch card added on to their reward pledge! Had a lot of fun and did a lot of great sketches the last time, so I can't wait to see what backers come up with this time! But you gotta pledge to win!
Got a few other goodies in store for you, too! But you'll have to stay tuned to find out!
More soon! Be good!
But not too good 😉

Hey Beautiful Backers!
Hope you had a great weekend! Just wanted to check in and let you know that the Impure Blood, Vol. 2 Kickstarter is up to 65%!
http://bit.ly/ImpureBloodV2
I get so wrapped up in kicking that boulder up the hill. I had to take a step back and remind myself that it’s only been 1 week!
We are doing very well, and it’s important to recognize and celebrate that. Still, I won’t be able to completely breathe a sigh of relief until it’s all over on November 11.
I also wanted to take a minute and highlight some of the awesome bonus comics that everyone is getting as part of that %50 milestone bonus we just blew past.
This awesome bundle of creepy-cool comics, is free to all backers of the Impure Blood, Volume 2 Kickstarter as my way of saying thanks!
Ichabod Jones: Monster Hunter
by Russell Nohelty
A psychopath escapes a mental asylum and becomes a monster hunter, but doesn't know if he's killing monsters, humans, or it's all in his head.
Russell Nohelty has been killing it on Kickstarter for years with twisted stories and a wicked sense of humor for years now.
During the Great War of 1918, Count Dracula joins forces with the immortal storyteller of The 1001 Arabian Nights in order to take down an empire. It’s ideas like that the got me into comics.
This Kickstarter launches on October 30th! CLICK HERE to make sure you don’t miss out!
Hexes #1: The Boy Who Came Closer
by Simon Birks
Brendan was just a boy when he fell deathly ill. Somehow, he lived, but when he moves back into a house he visited when he was younger, the drawings start again.
Man of Sin
by Andrew Guilde
Searching for the truth about his dead son, a father gets lost in madness.
A dark tale by a brilliant writer. I’m really looking forward to collaborating with Andrew next year.
His latest project, Forgotten Hymns, just launched on Kickstarter.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Toy Story was a slasher? What about if Peter Pan required a sacrifice to enter Neverland? The Dusk County Chronicles is a collection of 4 short twisted tales of terror that takes your dreams and turns them into nightmares.
Deadskins
by Clay Adams
A Harvard-educated dandy and his blind, drunk companion are all that stand between the Old West and a Zombie Indian Apocalypse. The true story of Custer's Last Stand starts here... whatever they taught you in school is bullshit.
Clay’s latest project, Nightmare Theater, launches Tuesday!CLICK HERE to take a look!
Now I hope it goes without saying but, parents please give these books a once over before you give them to your little monsters.
Being able to gift awesome new comics to my backers whilst getting the word out about other cool indie creators, is probably one of my favorite things about running a Kickstarter. I just know you're going to find a new favorite in there!
More soon!
Till next time, be good!
But not too good 😉

Time for GIVEAWAYS!!

Inch by inch, we creep ever closer to being funded!
Now I know there's some folks following along that aren't quite sure they want to join the party yet. If you know anyone, you might want to give them a poke, cause I'm about to sweeten the pot:
All backers between now and %50 funded get a BONUS MINIPRINT added to their reward! And whatever lucky backer pushes us over the halfway point gets a custom sketchcard added to their reward, too!
So that's like... Double Secret Bonus Rewards!
But remember, this only lasts till we get over %50, so don't wait too long!
Things are starting to cool down a bit as we settle into the marathon portion of the campaign, so I think I'll talk about something else next time.
More soon!
Till then, be good!
But not too good 😉

Ah, well...
We were close! It was a bit of a long shot, hitting %50 but midnight last night. But it wasn't impossible.
As it is, we're currently just shy of %47.
So I'm afraid that hearing me geek out about Bram Stoker's Dracula will be an experience reserved for my friends this year (I dunno... maybe you dodged a bullet there).
On the bright side, we did shoot past 100 backers! And that is most definitely something to celebrate!
I do want to get us over that %50 hump, though. So it's time to break out...
(drum roll...)
THE FREE ART GIVEAWAYS!!!
That's right! A free sketch card added to the reward of the whosoever pushes us over %50!!
Any character you want! They were a big hit during my last campaign. Check out some of my fave raves:
I had a lot of fun doing these, last time. And I'm really looking forward to doing them again!
Who's it going to be? I can't wait to find out, and I can't wait to share the results with you! It will even be the subject of my Thursday Night Livedraw!
