METAL HEAD #2 - a double sized NSFW science fiction story

Digital rewards away!
10 months ago – Sun, Dec 24, 2023 at 12:36:18 PM

We have sent out all digital rewards, so if you have any problems let me know.  If you haven't received them, you may not have responded to your Backerkit survey - check your spam folder, or you might have accidentally trashed it.  I know, Kickstarter sends lots of emails, and the more you support KS projects, the more emails you get!

Hard copies were ordered from the printer this week, so they should be shipping in a couple weeks.

Meanwhile make sure you check out our holiday gift to you, Daybreak issues 1 to 3 from Keith Champagne and Stefan Tosheff.  Their double-sized finale will be launching the same time as our next project, Horror Show, toward the end of January.  Stay tuned!

Merry Xmas everyone

Make sure you're up to date!

This project is moving fast, so please make sure your payment info is up to date.  You should be receiving emails from Kickstarter if it is not.  I plan on sending BackerKit surveys next week, which means the digital version of the book (which is almost compiled, just waiting on that last stretch goal pinup) will be sent to everyone in less than 2 weeks.  Just in time for Christmas!  Hard copies will be mailed out late December or early January.

Thanks!

Wow! This has been our best Kickstarter yet! In a week or so you will be getting a survey from Backerkit, please keep an eye out for it. We are putting the finishing touches on the comic, so the PDF will be circulated before Christmas and the print copies will get to you in January. 

Keep an eye out for our next project, HORROR SHOW, a one shot horror book drawn by the inestimable Darryl Banks of DC Comics fame. His art has never looked better. 

As always, thanks for your support!

We exceeded $7,000 in pledges, so every hard copy backer will be getting a METAL HEAD sticker. I'll send the art to digital backers too, maybe you can print it and cut it out or use it as a screen saver. 

If we can get over $8,000 I will have another pinup and extra bonus material included in the book. We can get there but we need your help!  Did you see two people can be in a future (RIOT EARP) comic? You will be a character In the story with your real name!

Only 17 hours to go in New Pain's combination JUMP/UNCOVERED campaign. You don't have to get both books, you can get just one. (But you really should get both books, it's the holidays). If you do get one of the books as well as METAL HEAD, you will get 2 free pinups, so time's awastin'. Buy JUMP OR UNCOVERED digital OR hard copy, get METAL HEAD digital OR hard copy, and get the pinups digital or hard copy accordingly. Just shoot me a message that you backed both books (I'll also ask afterwards). 

Speaking of pinups, David Alejandro Mejia finished his, which is available as a gorgeous variant cover, so feel free to pick one up. 

Thanks for your support! 

Last week to go

We're in the home stretch, so if you come across a mention of METAL HEAD on social media, please like or repost it so more people can see it and join the party.  We are close to the next bonus, a METAL HEAD sticker.  If we reach $8,000, I foresee another pinup (digital or hard copy for all to enjoy).

For those of you seeking the two bonus pinups that you get for backing METAL HEAD and New Pain's JUMP and/or UNCOVERED, please make sure to let me know you have done so (I will also ask when the time comes). I will be sending them out, two amazing pinups by Bruno Abdias starring a character from METAL HEAD and a character from JUMP, two lovely alien ladies.

JUMP and UNCOVERED can be found at bit.ly/newpain2in1.  They are offering 2 books, but you only have to back one of them, in hard copy or digital.  That means for just a few bucks more you get a great book or two from industry veteran Keith Champagne and a cast of thousands (well, maybe dozens) of artists.

There is still a chance to get your name and likeness in a future issue of RIOT EARP.  Look for the appropriate rewards level and pledge.  Only two chances to do so.

Finally, please allow me to plug NIGHTMARE THEATER 3D, which has less than 3 days to go.  It's done by a bevy of creators, including my buddy David Schraeder. Over 160 pages of horror stories, some in 3D, by some of the best creators in indie comics.  Fans of NSFW horror will dig this project. There are a TON of sample pages on their Kickstarter page:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/schraderopolis/nightmare-theater-3d-the-final-chapter?ref=user_menu

Starts at $13 for digital and $29 for trade paperback, well worth the money.  And check out this amazing variant cover by Italian artist Emanuele Taglietti. I'm so jealous!

Please back all of these books! 

Thanks!
