The Bloodhound does his thing in MIDNIGHT’S WAR: NIGHT STREETS. The Legend has finished the final script and Ademir is now illustrating the last 24 pages, so we’ll almost certainly be getting the omnibus out to backers this year.

Called on the Carpet
HYPERGAMOUSE is back on Arktoons… and it looks as if Dag might be in a bit of trouble at the office with the Big Cheese. Whatever shall he do?
MIDNIGHT’S WAR: NIGHT STREETS is going strong as well, as the Bloodhound of Caedis Nex makes his first appearance in the comic. But more importantly, it’s time for those who are planning to support either the HYPERGAMOUSE Vol. 1 book or the SIGMA GAME book to make themselves known. We’re trying out yet another new platform; this one promises to be much better about permitting us to know exactly what items go to which backer.
The Coming Campaign
If you’re intending to back either the HYPERGAMOUSE book or the SIGMA GAME book, please sign up to follow the campaign here.
It should be interesting to discover whether there is more interest in the comic or in the concept. Rhetoric vs dialectic would tend to suggest the former, but then, this is an esoteric community. And before the question is asked, yes, HYPERGAMOUSE will be back on Arktoons with a new episode tomorrow.
How Dare They?
Apparently someone is breaking into the library at the Silent Academy. Breaking into libraries is most certainly something of which we do NOT approve. Unless, of course, you really want to read the book…
Stalking the Stacks
There is a revelation in the library. But the Silent Academy is a school for assassins, after all.
Ascendant is Back!
ASCENDANT: STAR-SPANGLED SQUADRON is back on Arktoons. And the Kickstarter for volume 2 is live and going strong.
A Death Threat
Not what a fake vampire wants to see in her trailer. It’s one thing to have a deranged stalker, it’s another thing to have one if you’re a TV star in the Midnight World, with real vampires.
That’s Not CS!
Either the Silent Academy has no Clean Speech policy or the Princess of the Blood is not respecting it! For shame, Alissabetta, for shame!
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.
