Hey all,
You have just TWO DAYS left to grab the latest issue of my comic book
THE PEACEKEEPERSon Kickstarter! It was a bit of a personal triumph getting this one made. It's the story I wanted to tell from the moment I got into comics. It took me years to bring it to life. I'm obscenely proud of it. And I'd really be grateful if you'd give it a look.
The project is fully funded and onto stretch goals! We just unlocked out Bonus Digital Extravaganza and so you now get 18+ comics for one pledge.
THE PEACEKEEPERS is a dark, quirky crime drama in the vein of
Fargo or
No Country for Old Men. It’s a love letter to case-a-season police dramas like
True Detective and
The Wire, to Elmore Leonard novels, and to comic masterpieces like
Criminal and
100 Bullets. Now tell me that doesn’t sound cool?
We're a Kickstarter "Project We Love!" The hippies are writing songs about us! COME SEE WHAT ALL THE FUSS IS ABOUT!
PLEDGE HERE:

Thanks so much!

Hey all,
I wanted to let you know that my latest and greatest comic book - a howl-at-the-freakin'-moon crime thriller called THE PEACEKEEPERS - is live here on Kickstarter. We are fully funded and onto stretch goals. You now get 18+ comics for just one pledge!
THE PEACEKEEPERS is a dark, quirky crime drama in the vein of Fargo or No Country for Old Men. It’s a love letter to case-a-season police dramas like True Detective and The Wire, to Elmore Leonard novels, and to comic masterpieces like Criminal and 100 Bullets. Now tell me that doesn't sound cool!
All hell breaks loose in a quaint northern Michigan community when a team of in-over-their-heads bank robbers kills a beloved Sheriff’s Deputy. In a small town with BIG secrets, local detective Richard Holton races to peel back the layers of a depraved down home conspiracy before the bungling Federal Agents assigned to the case send everyone involved to ground.
We are a PROJECT WE LOVE! The hippies are writing songs about us! Come see what all the fuss is about. Pick your copy up today!

Quick update for you:
OFF TO THE PRINTER!
I wanted to let you know that our draw-ins have finished up and we're about to send THE JUMP #4 off to the printer.

More to come on all of this as things progress.
While you our waiting, check out Half Evil Comics' next book... my howl-at-the-freakin'-moon crime thriller, THE PEACEKEEPERS! It just went live here on Kickstarter and it's already a PROJECT WE LOVE:

FROM CREATOR RYLEND GRANT: I’m a screenwriter by trade. For over a decade, I’ve made my living writing smart, mind-bending thrillers for directors like JJ Abrams, Ridley Scott, Justin Lin, John Woo, Luc Besson, and F. Gary Gray, so I can’t help but think of things in cinematic terms. The Peacekeepers is a dark, quirky crime drama in the vein of Fargo or No Country for Old Men. It’s a love letter to case-a-season police dramas like True Detective and The Wire, to Elmore Leonard novels, and to comic masterpieces like Criminal and 100 Bullets.
CHECK OUT THE PRELAUNCH PAGE/SIGN UP FOR NOTIFICATIONS HERE: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rylendgrant/the-peacekeepers-1-5-from-ringo-award-winner-rylend-grant/
YOUR SURVEY'S COMING TODAY AND TOMORROW!
Your Backerkit surveys for THE JUMP 1-4 will land in your inbox starting today (Thursday). If you missed anything when checking out via kickstarter... if you want to add an extra variant, an art piece... if you want to pick up full signed runs of Aberrant, or Banjax, Suicide Jockeys, or The Jump, you'll have your chance here.
AndI wanted to highlight a few cool items for you, before you head in:
RARE CON VARIANTS
I am down to my last few copies of some UBER rare/limited Aberrant, Banjax, and Jump con variants... some of these had runs as low as 30 copies, were only sold for two days at a specific con (like SDCC) years back and aren't available anywhere else. I expect to sell completely out of these this go round, so grab them early. Everything will come signed if you so desire.
ORIGINAL ART
I just got pics of the Original art pieces from Fabio and man, are they stunning. He hand-drew, hand-inked these, and - in some cases - hand-colored these... I LOVED them so much that I wrote him immediately and demanded that he do a set for me.
We have a very limited number of these still available. They'll be right up top in the shop.
You can also still get "anything goes" commissions from Fabio & Edson... original JUMP stories staring you... We can still draw you into the book and we can still put you on a cover.
Anyway, let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so much again for backing!
Rylend
