The Hypergamouse campaign is off to a very good start. In just 10 hours from its launch on UATV’s Arkhaven Nights, it had already hit its initial funding goal, thereby guaranteeing a print edition of what has been the #1 comic on Arktoons for the last two years. We’ve already announced the first stretch goal, which will be the addition of an illustrated essay on The Art of Hypergamouse written by illustrator Lacey Fairchild . This will add an additional 8 pages to both the regular editions and to the coffee table book.
Lacey’s illustrations often amount to a meta-commentary on the scripts they are portraying; it’s astonishing to see the additional storytelling depth she adds by utilizing facial expressions, body language, and background imagery to the four simple panels. So it will be fascinating to read her perspective on drawing the comic.
In addition to the various editions of Hypergamouse available, there are a number of add-ons available including the Sigma Game book, a five-pack of Arkhaven hardcovers, and a 12-pack of Arkhaven paperbacks. And for leather book collectors, there is even a signed leatherbound first edition of Hypergamouse available for the backing. And it’s currently #5 in Comics ranked by Popularity.
And speaking of Hypergamouse, it being Friday, there is a new episode today: The Real Reason.
