The journey toward the realization of the Midnight World continues apace. Thanks to all the new backers, and the original backers who picked up a copy of SILENZIOSA. Here is an as-yet-unreleased look at the way in which Lucius and Denisa spend their time when they’re not engaged in their usual nefarious skullduggery. Even monsters have their pedestrian moments; notice that Lucius prefers for Denisa to play white.

The MIDNIGHT’S WAR campaign is proceeding smoothly, although not spectacularly. About 10 percent of the people who backed the original ALT-HERO campaign have backed this one to date, which could be attributed to a broad spectrum of reasons, but regardless, we appreciate the support that permits us to continue the series.

It would appear we should have simply done a 96-page story about a black superhero fighting racism, that’s what conservatives love these days, right, Anon? If there is one thing we can be sure of, Anon, it’s that the market never lies. We obviously should have had bestselling author Mike Pence author the series instead of The Legend Chuck Dixon.

But economic gaslighting is what it has always been and it really isn’t any concern of ours what sort of public performance art is being performed. So, below is an image of the inks from MIDNIGHT’S WAR: NIGHT STREETS, which is already well underway. Apparently Celise isn’t much more concerned about her colleagues’ opinion of her smoking inside than Dynamique is.

And don’t forget, you can now obtain the first print edition of SILENZIOSA by backing MW.

As the MIDNIGHT’S WAR crowdfund has successfully reached its initial target, Arkhaven Comics is pleased to announce that SILENZIOSA Volume One is now available as an add-on, in either paperback or hardcover. Those who have already backed the campaign can now add it to their existing pledge, new backers will find it as an option after making an initial pledge for anything from the Arktoons Backer level to The Rites of Cain level.

SILENZIOSA tells the tale of Alissabetta, Princess of the Blood, and daughter of His Majesty King Charles Arthur III of Inghiltar, Yrlandia, and the Skotian Isles, who finds herself forced to attend the Silent Academy when her uncle, the family assassin, meets an unexpected demise. Please note that if you’re only interested in Silenziosa, the best way to obtain it is back at the Arktoons Backer level, then add Silenziosa Volume One in your preferred format.

In other news, both Canada and Australia have been added as free shipping destinations for all rewards except for the leatherbound omnibus and the Knight of St. Michael statue for Australia. The shipping costs preclude the inclusion of Australia for those two items. We also believe we will be able to provide color in the leatherbound edition, although in that case the interior book block will be perfect bound rather than Smyth-sewn. We have also added a PDF Edition add-on for 15 at the request of several backers.

The next stretch goal will be announced when the campaign hits 60k. And speaking of MIDNIGHT’S WAR, Episode 57, Something Significant, is featured on Arktoons today.

It’s taken a little longer than previous campaigns, but we’re almost there. A new stretch goal will be announced tomorrow if the initial target is hit tonight. Bounding Into Comics has a nice article up reporting on the launch of the campaign. If you’re a backer, be sure to leave a comment there!

The series is currently free to read on Arkhaven Comics’ digital platform Arkhaven and currently has over 56 episodes published to date. According to the site’s metrics it’s one of the more popular titles on the site and has over 250,000 views.

The new Kickstarter will collect the first six issues of the series that are currently available to read on Arkhaven.com. However, it also offers collected editions of issues 7-12 as well. These issues continue the story of Dante Fitzalan, Arika su-Fitzalan, Julian Varney, Denisa Denue Remords, and Andre Montbard and “follows the bitter vendetta being fought between two of the rival vampire factions, a vendetta that was, unbeknownst to both factions, caused by a hostile third party.”

Not only that it also offers a collection of a new Chuck Dixon spinoff series, Midnight’s War: Night Streets, which is described as a “police procedural set within the Midnight World that features characters introduced in Midnight’s War as well as entirely new characters.”

On a related note, it is looking increasingly likely that we will be able to do the leather omnibus edition in color. We will run some test bindings in the new year in order to be sure.

UPDATE: Greenlight! We are currently at 102.6% of goal on Day 3. Thanks to all 171 of the backers! The first stretch goal will be announced tomorrow.
