We're likely to hit 200 backers and $11,000 in the next 24 hours. Truly exceptional milestones there. Thanks so much again for all the love and support! I thought I'd give you guys another peek today at what's coming to all of you in that BONUS DIGITAL EXTRAVAGANZA. Each and every backer will now receive:
Set in the future during a pandemic of organ failure, a scientist becomes a victim of his own life-saving technology.
DUPLICANT came from Karla's love of dystopian future movies like Minority Report, Blade Runner, and a little known movie called Repo: The Genetic Opera. The idea of repo men for organs struck a creative chord in her, and she decided to do her own unique twist on it.
In DUPLICANT, the organs are manufactured. This idea came from Karla's interest in science, and specifically nanotechnology and 3D printing. The cost of these manufactured organs is so high that you’re essentially sold to the highest bidder to pay off the debt. The human organ trade is illegal.
This one is another GREAT read folks. Hard hitting and prescient.
Karla is also currently running a kickstarter campaign for Issue 3 of the series. It just earned the coveted PROJECT WE LOVE designation. Check that out here:

A few shout-outs before I let you go today. Some friends have some really intriguing campaigns running right now:
Mythic Creature Trainer #1 is an action-packed, full-colour 48-page fantasy adventure comic about training dragons and dealing with troubles at home and at work!
The king’s dragon trainer is fired for accidentally unleashing a mutating corruption on the royal stables. Now, he must save his job and his reputation by finding a long-lost cure before the advancing orc horde takes advantage of this new weakness in the kingdom’s defenses.
This is a collection of the entire legendary 1980's run of Warlock 5 from Den Beauvais and Gordon Derry collected into one big, fat, 380 page hardcover omnibus!
Nearly all the artwork has been scanned and retouched from THE ORIGINAL ARTWORK and will be printed on premium paper to truly showcase how stunning Den Beauvais' artwork truly is. The original run was printed on very thin, low quality newsprint, so this will show the art as it was truly intended to be seen.
Created by Den Beauvais and Gordon Derry, Warlock 5 was published by Barry Blair, a Canadian comic book publisher, artist, and writer, known for launching Aircel Comics in the 1980s. A fierce advocate for innovation in the themes, genres, and types of illustrations, Blair helped to bring titles to life that broke the narrative and graphic boundaries at the time — including Warlock 5.

Hey all,
We're cruising along nicely here in JUMPland. I wanted to let you guys know that the BONUS DIGITAL EXTRAVAGANZA is building out quite nicely. You're going to end up with a really nice pile of books when this campaign ends. I'll introduce you to them slowly but surely over these next few weeks. First up, is issue 1 of one of my very favorite titles:
Ichabod Jones: Monster Hunter by Russell Novelty
Ichabod Jones is a critically acclaimed, original comic book series that follows the exploits of an insane and fundamentally deranged mental patient that escapes from a maximum security asylum to rid the world of monsters during the apocalypse with the (usually unwelcome) help of the omniscient, impatient, and authoritative voice in his head.
The project came out digitally in 2012 to great reviews. Here's just a small sample of them:
"...five of five stars, it is awesome and well worth getting...this one is well worth the couple of bucks you will spend. Overall truly fun to read, and extraordinarily well done. I need to go find the physical copy of this comic book so I can add it to my own library."- Comics Forge
"Nohelty does a wonderful job pacing this series, letting the second half of issue 2 take you full steam into Ichabod’s insanity (or maybe reality). There simply is no middle ground. When trapped with other asylum members, both alive and dead, Ichabod devises a way out of entrapment that relies on the literal “intestinal” fortitude of a slayed “monster” to give then a lifeline of hope out of their pit of despair (for the obtuse, he climbs out of trouble using entrails – damn you obtuse and your obtuseness). Issue three becomes even more insane; once outside of entrapment Ichabod and his followers find a deserted wasteland (i.e. welcome to the apocalypse, kids). From here things just get stranger with Dune-like sandworms and a town that seems to be anything but salvation."- Ain't It Cool News
."..I’m glad I got the chance to read Ichabod Jones: Monster Hunter. The journey is a strange one but I couldn’t help but be enthralled the entire time." - My Comic Network
"IJ: MH is not just a visually cool-frightening book to look at. It’s pretty mental too." - Buy Indie Comics
This one is a GREAT read folks. I promise you'll instantly be made a fan. And once you are, be sure to check out https://www.russellnohelty.com to check out everything else Russell is up to. He's got an extensive catalogue of incredible comics and novels that's really worth digging into and he runs all sorts of amazing how-to courses for writers and marketers.
Russel is also currently running a kickstarter campaign for his Summer slate of Sci-Fi novels. It just earned the coveted PROJECT WE LOVE designation. Check that out here:

A few shout-outs before I let you go today. Some friends have some really intriguing campaigns running right now:
This story is set 100 years in the future, in the city of Glasburgh, or to use the local nickname, Glasscity, which in turn is based on Glasgow, Scotland. Gabriel (Gabe) Gatti is a Glasburgh detective. It's been five years since the disappearance of his daughter and he still has no clue as to who or what has taken her. When a case mirrors his own, Gabe and his partner Jacob dive head first into the darker part of an already dark city. Everything they thought they knew about the city is about to change.
If you like the narration of Rorschach and the ramblings of Mark then this is the series for you.
Zombies We're Human Too is a 100 page graphic novel that tells Zombie stories BEFORE an HOW they became Zombies. Fans of Nation, Zombieland and The Walking Dead will LOVE this one!
The story of Justice is one of sacrifice. Justice is an archangel of the highest order and the Left Hand of God, but he left the eternal paradise of Heaven. He battled through the Firmament and descended to Earth to find the Voice of Elohim. The fate of existence hangs in the balance and Othniyel, the angel known as Justice stands against the abyss.
Issue #1 sees Justice among the rooftops of Las Sombras, the City of Shadows, where gambling meets the sea. The days grow darker and evils that once hid in the shadows prowl the streets. With his quest weighing heavily on his mind, Justice intervenes when a gang of Children of the Night gives into their bloodlust.
They're offering some cool prints and sculptures as rewards:
