Cullen had been doing all the updates here, but I wanted to jump in and help out where I can. And rambling is something I am very good at. So join me for a little ramble if you will.
Words and I have been closely acquainted now for a really long time. I didn't always put them down on paper though and had many false starts in life with regards to writing. Cullen does it right (matter of fact I have a shirt saying almost that exact thing, although I am not wearing it today.) Writing is a passion, but it is also a job. In order to make a splash in the world and be remembered you need to approach it from both angles. Over the last 30 years I have had passion for writing but lacked the ability to approach it as a job. There are tales I have been working on for decades.
Democritus Brand isn't exactly one that has been being worked on for that long. The specifics of the story we have been tossing around and shifting and tweaking for probably about 5 years. But in many ways every piece of writing I have done builds and influences this work. It is the nature of writing and growing as an artist.
This KickStarter project is growing as well. We may be getting close to the end of the campaign here, but that doesn't even remotely mean we are close to being done. I want to let you all know that there are still some fantastic things to come. We do have some Stretch Goals that need to be updated. Some that I am incredibly excited to post about. And there will be a few add on items that I am sure will get the adrenaline pumping when you see them. Keep an eye out for the next updates coming your way soon!
I kinda want to sit here and keep writing, but it is 10pm on a Tuesday night and I have new comics stacked up waiting to be put on a shelf at my comic shop.
Thanks for being here and helping to make this possible.

Finding these awesome comics on Kickstarter is just too much fun! Here's another you might find cool, but you only have a few hours to support it! NIGHT WOLF!
Born into the outcast breed of werewolves known as the Monoki, eighteen-year-old Rodney Marcelli is reluctantly thrown into an ancient war between good and evil in today's world where the line has blurred. With the help of Snow Paw, the Pureblood Monoki, and the supernatural evil slayer, Night Hunter, Rod must learn to master his newly found lycanthropy and mysterious kinetic energy power that only he possesses. Rod must fight the Dark Covenant in order to avenge his friends and family, and to save the girl he loves from the master vampire, Lord Malice. Rodney Marcelli is Night Wolf!
They're running a campaign for the first four issues! Give it a look if you dig werewolf stories for sure!

A New Variant Announced!

Hey, everyone! We're so excited about the success of this project! Thank you all so much!
To celebrate, we've added a new variant edition of issue 1 to our offerings! This cover will be by Andrea Mutti, an incredibly talented artist who is working with me on a couple of unannounced comic books! We'll have the final color edition this week, but I thought you might want to see the pencils! This cover features Zylphia, one of the awesome members of Professor Brand's crew! I have a feeling she's going to be a fan-favorite.
If you've already backed the project, you can easily adjust your pledge level. We have a level that will get you every print edition of the book!
If you pledged for the "early bird" for the Baldemar Rivas level, we've got you covered, too! The Mutti cover will be available as an add-on to your pledge. It will be $25. You can add the additional funds after the campaign closes OR you can just add the additional funds now without changing your pledge level. That will give you a credit to apply toward the add-ons AND it helps us reach our awesome stretch goals, which we'll be announcing in the next day or so.
Here's your sneak peek at the pencils for the new variant cover!
