Hey Jumpers,
We're cruising along slow and steady as I type this. We're just $765 from that $8,000 stretch goal. Everybody gets a bunch more goodies once we hit that, so go tell a friend about the kick ass comic book party we're throwing here, huh?
.
PUT ME ON A COVER?
One of the things that sets the Half Evil Kickstarter campaigns apart from most of the others here on the platform is our wild creative art tiers. The best and most lauded perhaps is our PUT ME ON A COVER reward.
Do you want to make Leroy kiss your converse? Want to take K.I.T.T. for a spin? Want to go back to the future? Want to wear Mando's armor? We can and WILL put your face/likeness on any of our SIXTEEN (Issues 1-4) covers (you choose... check them all out HERE)... and we'll send you a digital file and beautiful physical print!
An if you choose one of our JUMP #4 covers, you can get an ACTUAL PHYSICAL COMIC ISSUE WITH YOUR MUG ON IT!
NOTE: You can order more than one of these! Or add them to ANY pledge tier! Just choose PUT ME ON A COVER in the add-ons menu!
NOTE: We've actually helped a few enterprising folks print up full 50-copy runs of these to give to friends/family, to use as promotional tools for podcasts... Let us know if you'd like to set something like that up.
Have a great week! I'll check back in once we hit $8,000!

WHILE YOU'RE HERE ON KICKSTARTER, CHECK OUT SOME GREAT PROJECTS FROM OUR FRIENDS:
"Mirrored Dreams" is an art & comic anthology, initiated by Dominik Gümbel & Stefan Große Halbuer.
The 230+ page book includes short comics and illustrations from 13 artists, all based on actual dreams and nightmares their followers sent them.
The campaign is already funded and going until March 7th.
CHECK IT HERE: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/grossehalbuer/mirrored-dreams-art-book
.
Tales of the Bizarre is a comic book anthology series of sci-fi and horror stories with strange twists to them. They are tales much like you might find in classic B-movies, or even on episodes of series like The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits. The original issues stick with a general PG-13 rating, but we knew that we had much more intense stories we wanted to tell, thus, we are now bringing you the spin-off series Dark Embraces. It is the same concept but with much darker storytelling, and with an erotic twist.

Hey Jumpers,
Checking in as week two comes to a close...
STRETCH GOALS
We are, indeed, fully funded and are inching toward that 2nd stretch goal. Everyone will get a beautiful print with their order once we cross that $8,000 threshold. I'll check back in with a reveal once we cruise on by it.
INVENTORY
We sold out of our ABERRANT #1 "Zamunda/Coming to America" Variants, so congrats if you nabbed one of those before they were gobbled up. I spent a little time in the storage unit this week looking at inventory and there are three very sought after variants that I am almost out of/fully expect to sell out before the campaign ends, so this is kind of a "last call" situation. If you want one, get it now:
-There is only ONE copy of the ABERRANT "Weekend at Bernie's" Portuguese variant left.
-There are only THREE of the COMIC JABRONI Tribute JUMP 1 & 2 collected edition covers left.
-There are just THREE of the JUMP 1 Mike Mignola Tribute Holo Foil covers left... and WOW are they pretty:
Anyway, grab one NOW or regret it later!
Some of you may not know that I host a business-of-comics podcast called THE WRITERS BLOCK with my friend - and ELVIRA-writer - David Avallone. We've had some great guests on... Matt Fraction, Stan Sakai, Kevin Eastman, Rodney Barnes, tons more. For whatever it's worth it's a Top 35 Visual Arts Podcast on Apple Pods and we won a Telly.
We just recently started a YouTube channel where you can actually WATCH all of the fun unfold. Check it out here: YouTube.com/@halfevilcomics
This week we have old friends Phil Lamar and Susan Eisenberg - of JUSTICE LEAGUE fame - to talk voice acting. It's an incredible episode. Be sure to check it out. And it'd be a BIG help if you'd subscribe to the channel while you're over there.
.
Anyway, that's all I got for you today. Have a great weekend! I'll check back in here early next week.
Talk soon!

Here are some friends with some interesting campaigns running concurrently:
.
DANGER BOi & THE ANTAGONiSTS is a cyberpunk action-thriller that aims to reimagine the superhero genre for the 21st Century! An ALL-NEW 44 PAGE COMIC that follows Danger Boi and a team of misunderstood outsiders as they struggle to save the city of Las Torres from the world's most powerful (so-called) heroes!
GET IT HERE: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/djtalkstrash/dangerboi?ref=2uv9d4
.
Hope Falls has been swallowed by a winter that never ends. People disappear. Shadows move where they shouldn’t. The sheriff investigates a string of grisly murders, but the deeper he digs, the more he realizes the killer may not be human.
The creative team that brought you the FALLEN series (Red 5 Comics) is back again and this time turning up the terror!
Ted Fallon used to be one of Boston's top cops, a rising star investigator, that is until one day an emergency called him away. Ted's sister fell in with the wrong element and was battling addiction, a battle she was losing. Ted found himself in the small, quaint town of Hope Falls Vermont, nestled in the northern end of the Appalachian Mountains
Ted began a new life as the town's sheriff so he could be closer to his sister and look after her. All was quiet and peaceful until the day when the sun set one last time over the town...that's when Ted's nightmare only began.
Who will like Long Dark Winter?

Hey Jumpers!
It's my birthday today and I'm running around like a lunatic, so I'm a little short on time right now, but I did want to stop in and thank you very sincerely for making this launch such a success. I believe THE JUMP is the very best book that we do here a Half Evil Comics and so it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to feel your enthusiasm for it.
We're only 48 hours in and we are already fully funded, but there's more work to do. We've got some great stretch goals to dig into. I'd love to get you guys a fancy print and a wicked card set... and there's plenty more fun planned, so please TELL A FRIEND about the bad ass comics party we're having here.
NOTE: Crossing that $5,000 threshold has already unlocked out FRIST stretch goal/won you guys our BONUS DIGITAL EXTRAVAGANZA - 12 comics from some of the hottest creators in the biz!
Anyway, I've got some birthday stuff to wrestle with now, but I'll check in later with something more substantial.
Thanks so much again for literally making this dream of ours a reality.
I will leave you with the picture of me... with screen legend Carl Weathers:
Love you guys!
Rylend
