HOTSHOT Crossover Print!
almost 3 years ago – Thu, Jun 17, 2021 at 08:51:06 AM

As we enter our final week on Kickstarter, let's take a minute to share an new Crossover Print and to spotlight some of our Limited-Quantity Kickstarter-Exclusive rewards!

A New Crossover Print!

We just can't get enough Crossovers here on HAUNTING/LFLD!

Late last week, we had the pleasure of joining Mike Watson on his YouTube Chat and Draw where he drew the below Illustration LIVE ON CAMERA! And now you can have your own copy of this awesome Print!

Anyone who backs both HAUNTING/LFLD and The HOTSHOT Collection will receive the below Print Illustration featuring Hotshot, Bram, and Casey!

Physical Tier backers of both campaigns will receive a Physical copy of the print. Digital Tier backers of one or both campaigns will receive a Hi-Res Digital version of the illustration!

"His name is HOTSHOT! When Mike Watson mysteriously gains superpowers — he does what any comic book geek would do: BECOME A SUPERHERO!  But, being a hero is FAR harder than he ever imagined.  After the death of the Earth’s greatest champion, Mike struggles to fill those shoes, all while balancing his new position against his already hectic life as an art student in college."

Foil Cover

In case you missed it, we have a Kickstarter Exclusive offer to upgrade the "Ghosts & Ghouls" Virgin Variant to Metallic Foil cover stock!

This extremely limited Foil Cover version is available as both a USD $50 Reward Tier and a USD $50 Add-on.

We'll only be printing twenty (20) copies of this exclusive metallic cover (7 of which have already been claimed), so get a copy while you still have the chance!

Only Two Cameos Left!

We're down to our FINAL TWO drawn-in cameo rewards for the HAUNTING/LFLD crossover!

You can make a guest appearance in HAUNTING/LFLD as a COSTUMED STUDENT at the Halloween Dance with our USD $300 Tier, or as one of the ZOMBIE PARTY CRASHERS with our USD $400 Tier!

So come crossover with our Crossover by getting yourself into the book!

There's only 1 slot remaining for each cameo, so grab it before it's gone!

ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT to Support Another AWESOME Crossover - VAMPIRELLA-PREY FOR THE SINNER
almost 3 years ago – Fri, Jun 11, 2021 at 10:32:50 AM

Phil and I love spreading the word for amazing Kickstarters, and we saw that Dynamite Comics and Counterpoint Comics were also doing a crossover. So, we knew we wanted to spotlight VAMPIRELLA-PREY FOR THE SINNER. Dynamite Comics and Counterpoint Comics are no strangers to the platform with every campaign hitting a home run.

Here's a bit about the book:

The crossover no one saw coming is here. The baddest of the bad girls, Vampirella and Syn from the indy hit, Prey for the Sinner.  On her intergalactic quest for vengeance, Syn follows the slimy criminal known as Zyzz to the home world of the one and only Vampirella... the planet known as Drakulon. It doesn't take long for the ladies to run into each other  and realize that they must work together to stop the doomsday virus Zyzz is carrying from being unleashed. 

There's only three days left to back:

To show our gratitude, in addition to early access for the first 2 chapters of our WEBTOON - Slice of Life, we are also going to give ALL BACKERS a sneak peek at all 9 stories for our next Kickstarter - Bi Visibility: A Bisexual Comic Book Anthology.

Other Kickstarters To Back

MechaTon

Speaking of Bi-Visibility, one of our wonderful writers from the anthology has his own Kickstarter running!

"MechaTon is a story about fighting for your community against selfishness and authoritarianism, getting by with clever thinking and teamwork, and trying to out-pun your little sister and her strange, witchy significant other. Also trash robots punching giant monsters. Think Gurren Laggan meets Murder Falcon."
