A Tale of Two Crowdfunds

There are two Arkhaven-related crowdfunding campaigns that kicked off just yesterday. The first is the second volume of Ascendant: Star-Spangled Squadron from our friends at Autarch. We’re relaunching the entire series on Arktoons in two weeks, so this is a good way to support our partners in the comics industry.

The second campaign is, of course, THE HIDDEN EMPEROR by Jon Del Arroz. Arkhaven will be publishing the retail edition of this graphic novel, and it will be featured on Arktoons as well, as part of the OVERMIND series that will be launching there soon. Mike Murphy, Razorfist, the illustrator, and I were all on Arkhaven Nights with Jon last night to launch the crowdfund, which by the end of the stream had already passed its initial objective.

Ayla Rin, Agent Of The Terran Imperium, returns to face a new sinister plot against the Imperium! Something is amiss with the Emperor of Mankind. Ayla Rin discovers he’s been replaced by a clone who’s intentionally sabotaging the Imperium on behalf of the evil Scorpio Alliance! But worse, the Scorpio Alliance knows she knows. And that means blackmail. Ayla is forced to find a secret superweapon that could unleash devastation on the Imperium. Fans of Valerian, The Incal, and Saga epic science fiction comics will love THE HIDDEN EMPEROR!

An Acting Challenge

Today’s MIDNIGHT’S WAR: NIGHTSTREETS is up, and frankly, I think Synthia has a point. It is tough to be sexy with an axe. Unless, of course, you’re Kingsguard…

Speaking of Arktoons, I’m happy to report that the new size and printing quality of the color edition of GHOST OF THE BADLANDS has passed review and we will be making it available at NDM and Amazon as soon as Razor pulls the trigger. We’re going to be redoing AH in the 8.5 x 11 size, and if it proves to be popular enough, may do the same for some of our other series. But our minimum size will be 8 x 10.88, replacing the old 7 x 10 often utilized by the legacy publishers.
