You can back the campaign here if you are so inclined.
In other comics-related news, we’re looking for individuals in European countries to assist The Legend in building a database all of his works published in those countries over the last 20 years. We have someone for the UK, but we’d ideally have one in every country. If you’re willing and able to contact your domestic publishers, email me with LEGEND in the subject.

As the campaign winds down with only four days left, MIDNIGHT’S WAR gets a bit… darker. These vampires do not sparkle and they are not, even remotely, the good guys. Don’t forget that you can now add the limited edition hardcover of OUT OF THE SHADOWS to your backing.
UPDATE: The bankruptcy of Aftershock Comics is just a harbinger of the failures that are in the process of sweeping the comics industry. Thanks to the continued support of the backers, Arkhaven Comics continues to grow slowly, and steadily, and anticipates being one of the only survivors. The failure of Aftershock tends to demonstrate that we were a) correct to avoid traditional distribution and b) did well to make the pivot to Arktoons.
Can’t imagine how it could have possibly have failed…
BULLS OF BEACON HILL
The comic follows Doctor Christopher Boldt, a surgeon running for Boston City Council. Unbeknown to the wider public, his father, Orin Paige, is one of Boston’s most notorious gangsters. Until now, Paige had been happy “to deny any connection to his queer son, who he sees as a liability in the mob world. Now, Chris’s political aspirations have put father and son on a collision course.
WITCH HAMMER
Witch. The word conjures images of hags in black robes and crooked hats, standing over cauldrons of bubbling brew. But witches are among us, and we do not realize it. They are our friends and neighbors. They are our family members. They are our idols.

There is a bit of a historical Easter egg in today’s HOW TO SUCCEED. A free ebook to the first person who can correctly identify what it is. Hint: it’s also in the previous two episodes.

It’s official. Castalia House will publish a short novel set in the Midnight World entitled OUT OF THE SHADOWS. As promised, chapter two:
MIDNIGHT’S WAR: Out of the Shadows
Chapter Two: Where All Roads Lead
All throughout the following day, Elliott found himself somewhat distracted. He zoned out during a conference call with Bank of America, and twice had to be pulled out of his reveries during a meeting with the Human Resources team by his executive assistant, Natalie.
He couldn’t stop thinking about what this mysterious meeting might entail, and what “very profitable,” might mean. It couldn’t be Blackrock behind this, could it? Even if they wanted to keep their interest on the down low in order to hide their intentions from the competitors that trailed them like remoras sticking to a great white shark, Elliott was pretty sure sending an executive to the site in question wasn’t their modus operandi. To paraphrase the Muslims, Mohammed would have to go to the Rock, as the Rock wasn’t in the habit of coming to him.
For a reason that he couldn’t quite rationalize, he felt there might be a European element lurking somewhere underneath it all, perhaps even a very old European element. Being a second-generation son of Silicon Valley, Elliott knew very little about the money markets of the Old World, the London oligarchs, the Swiss private banks, and the ancient Italian investment firms that seemed to own everything from Greek shipping firms to Vietnamese wineries without anyone ever even knowing their names.
So what would the play be, he wondered. That old generational money never seemed to be very interested in the stock markets, let alone in splashy public offerings and the media attention they attracted. But how would an outright buyout make any sense at this point in time? Making money was all about the multiple, but what potential buyer, no matter how well-endowed, could match the buying power of an entire market pumped up on hype and the hypothetical promise of longer life?
