Hey Jumpers,
Just a friendly reminder that Issue 2 of THE JUMP launches here on Kickstarter ONE WEEK FROM TODAY (March 22nd)!
We are currently at 116 followers! Please help us get to 150! Check out our PRELAUNCH PAGE and click the green NOTIFY ME ON LAUNCH button.
The first Issue of THE JUMP was brought to life by YOU right here on Kickstarter last year and received RAVE reviews.
You will not BELIEVE what we have in store for you for Issue 2! This one is going to MELT YOUR FACE! So, please SIGN UP FOR LAUNCH NOTIFICATIONS and come make the JUMP with us ONE MORE TIME!
THE JUMP is, of course, brought to you by me - Rylend Grant - and artist Fabio Alves, colorist Edson Ferreira, & letterer HdE... the very same team that brought you the dark and decidedly wicked superhero noir BANJAX (published Action Lab: Danger Zone).
BANJAX was nominated for FOUR Mike Weirngo Comic Book Awards in 2020 (including BEST SERIES along-side BITTER ROOT and SOMETHING's KILLING THE CHILDREN) and the critics raved:
“This is the most amazingly well done first issue of a series I have ever seen. Point blank. Period… You cannot read this and come out if the same way you went into it… So effin’ good.”(Steven Leitman, Reading with a Flight Ring)
“Banjax has all the action, violence, grit, and heart of a classic.” (David Pepose, Creator of Spencer & Locke)
“Quality, engrossing material embedded with a cinematic feel. Gifted storytelling and breathtaking artwork. Banjax will instantly have you screaming for more!” (Jason Bennett, PopCultHQ)
“Banjax hits incredibly hard. Intense, thought-provoking, wildly entertaining. It’s near perfect. For those looking for something unique, Issue #1 is a must-read.” (Charlie Chipman, The Brazen Bull)
“Riveting. Refreshing. Heart-breaking. Ultra-violent. Honestly, a bit unsettling. The artwork of Fábio Alves is everything a dark and gritty comic should embody. Edson Ferreira’s color work adds an extra punch to really emotional panels. Don’t miss out on this bloody good time! A+” (Andrew Huard, You Don’t Read Comics)
“Holy crap this is good. This book hits all the right notes. It’s marvelously done, such a compelling story. It’s the best comic I’ve read in a long time. Honestly? Bendis could take some notes here.”(ComicCast Podcast)
So, I promise you, you are in for a real treat here with THE JUMP #2. Sign up HERE to be notified when the campaign goes live!
Thanks! I hope all is well with you and yours.

Hey all,
I just wanted to let you know that writer David Avallone (Drawing Blood, Betty Page, Elvira) and I just brought our crazy comic-creator-hangout podcast, THE WRITERS BLOCK, to Apple Podcasts. You can do us a HUGE favor and SUBSCRIBE NOW.
THE WRITERS BLOCK is weekly post-con-style roundtable romp with some of the most outspoken (yet still employed) creators in comics. Show biz war stories. State of the comic union. Furious debates over ‘80s televisions shows. Great lobster bisque recipes. Something for everybody.
We had an INCREDIBLE lineup for Season 1... Kevin Eastman, Matt Fraction, Stan Sakai, Amanda Deibert, David F. Walker, Erica Schultz, Christopher Cantwell, John Layman, Taylor Esposito, David Booher, Scott Dunbier, Cecil Castellucci, Sean Lewis, Nancy Collins, Alex Segura, Barbra Dillon, Emily Flake, Lalo Alcaraz, Jason Inman, Ashley Victoria Robinson, David Pepose, Charlie Stickney, Richard Fairgray, Troy Little, Brenda Hickey, HexComix, and Drew Edwards.
Truly a murderers row.
Season 2 is going to be EPIC, so SUBSCRIBE NOW!
LAST CHANCE to back Rylend Grant's THE PEACEKEEPERS on Kickstarter!

Hey Jumpers,
You have just 30 HOURS left to back/pick up a copy of my latest and great comic book, THE PEACEKEEPERS, on Kickstarter! Check it out HERE.
The Peacekeepers is a dark, quirky crime drama in the vein of Fargo or No Country for Old Men. It’s a love letter to case-a-season police dramas like True Detective and The Wire, to Elmore Leonard novels, and to comic masterpieces like Criminal and 100 Bullets.
It's brought to you by the same twisted team that brought you 10 rip-roaring issues of my much-lauded political action thriller ABERRANT. Aberrant made a dozen critics ten-best lists in 2019. It won a Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Award (for BEST VILLAIN) in 2019 and was nominated for two others (BEST WRITER & BEST SINGLE ISSUE).
We've already hit our first three stretch goals and so now each and every backer will receive a beautiful print, a card set, AND our BONUS DIGITAL EXTRAVAGANZA, a virtual cornucopia of books from the hottest creators in comics. So, essentially, you're now getting about 16 different comic issues and a print for this one pledge.
More fun to come, too.
PLEDGE NOW to get in on this before time runs out!
Hope all is well out there! Stay safe!
