ASoT & Rafer Roberts: Queen of Hell: Initium
Hey y'all, I'm gonna assume projects from Valiant alumni are ok to post here since there are also Bad Idea posts in this section.
If you don't know me, I'm the guitarist from A Sound of Thunder. We did the official Shadowman concept album, and more singles about Shadowman, Doctor Mirage, Punk Mambo, and Rai. (Dan Abnett even wrote the lyrics for the Rai song.)
Through Valiant we struck up a relationship with Rafer Roberts. I know some here are not so hot on his Harbinger: Renegade run coming right after Dysart, but I think his A+A was much more up his alley and better appreciated. If you've read his other work like Grumble or Plastic Farm you know he excels with a combination of subversive humor and action.
Anyway we have teamed up with Rafer to create a series called Queen of Hell: Initium. It's on Kickstarter now. We sure would appreciate you taking a look. There are a bunch of amazing covers including foils, sketch variants, metals, and even what I believe is the world's first sketch variant record jacket!
Thanks in advance for checking it out! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/as ... en-of-hell

I've shared it on FB. Wish I could pledge, but I'm not able to at this time.

I appreciate that, thank you! There are some ad tools via BackerKit that we can get access to if we hit 500 backers that would help us reach a lot more people, so even a $1 pledge is super helpful, and you'd be offered many of the rewards as add-ons after the campaign ends!

A saw a wild Magnus appear on the backer list! If you're reading this,thanks brother!
Just checked the number of copies claimed... print runs on the *main* covers are going to be under 500. This one here is currently sitting around 325 (it was capped at 1,000 MAX, but with 225 claimed plus 100 overprint for archive, stragglers, etc. we are at ~325 right now).

(the tiers stack - it's not $30 for this one comic, it's $30 for the first three issues)
Also there are THREE (
) copies of the foil claimed, so those will be the real ghosts after the campaign!
If the dudes from Alien are lurking here, thanks for sharing in the Bloodshot Kickstarter update! \m/

Final 24 hours for this. One of the virgin art variants currently looks to have a print run of TWO copies. Just saying if you like rare stuff, you could take a flyer on this! (Also the story kinda rocks.
)
