New Kickstarter coming in July, Plus Heroes Con!
Stake Presents: Jessamy #3 is launching in July! I'll be at Heroes Con in Charlotte this weekend, and Ringo Nominations
Hello wonderful people!
I hope you’re all well, lots of fun stuff to get to this week, so here we go!
Kickstarter Updates
The Kickstarter for Stake Presents: Jessamy #2 is in full swing of being fulfilled! I got to see my collaborators and friends Francesca and Joel last week to sign hundreds of books for our amazing backers!
It was…exhausting…but totally worth it to provide that extra little touch for our backers.
The books came out great and are starting to get into people’s hands.
If you missed the campaign, that’s ok…
Stake Presents: Jessamy #3 Kickstarter…
…is coming in July!
I’ve already showed you the cover in the last update, but now the campaign pre-launch page is available! Click here to be notified when the campaign is live and make sure you don’t miss the free…that’s right FREE…Early Bird cover!
I’ll be revealing the covers and cover art over the next few weeks!
Heroes Con in Charlotte
I’m really excited to be going to my first Heroes Con this weekend (June 24-26). This is a very comic centric convention, which is a lot different than most of the major conventions out there.
You’ll be able to find me at the Black Caravan booth (2058/2060) and Stake artist Francesca Fantini will be in artist alley with her husband, writer Jonathan Hedrick!
If you’re at the show, make sure you come see us!
Ringo Awards
And now a shameless request!
Every year Baltimore Comic Con does awards named after the late Mike Wieringo. One of the aspects of these awards is that, unlike most, the nominees are partially selected by the fans!
I'm not one to ask for people to vote for me for things, but I would really love it if you guys could at the very least show some love to Francesca and Joel for all their hard work on the Stake series that you've been awesome enough to back! And if you wanted to lump me in as well that would be ok ;)
Joel made this really cool cheatsheet of categories you can nominate Stake for. If you you love Stake as much as we do, hop on over to the Ringo Nominations page and throw us a vote!
What Else!?!
I’ve been back in the laboratory lately and writing more consistently as I finally start to break free of this long COVID brain fog that has plagued me the first half of the year.
Canceled
I’ve written the next installment of Canceled and hired an artist! I really like his style and think you’ll dig it. Aiming to have a preview copy ready in time for New York Comic Con in October and launch a crowdfunding campaign to go with it.
Cthulhu Invades…stuff
If you backed Cthulhu Invades Wonderland you’ll get a fun little two page story from me and artist Eranga Devasurendra and colorist Giuseppe Sabè Di Stefano. If you missed it, there will be plenty of opportunity to get copies. Rumor has it there will be another installment coming.
Being vague and secretive
I can’t talk much about it yet, but over the next year I’ll be developing a project in conjunction with five other creators that is going to be a ton of fun. More horror, I seem to be doing a lot of that lately, but I it’s going to be pretty wild.
That’s it for this update, if you’re coming to Heroes Con, make sure you stop by and see me and Francesca!
And if you haven’t yet, SIGN UP TO BE NOTIFIED for the Stake Presents: Jessamy #3 launch!
Tata for now!
