STRETCH GOAL SMASHED UNLOCKS DUSU! A tale of Niobe's tribe!
almost 7 years ago – Fri, Jun 23, 2017 at 11:01:43 AM

Thank you so much for all of the love and support!!!  

We are crushing these goals thanks to you guys. And we are one step further to seeing Niobe take her Elven leap to the screen. More on that soon!! But please know that it really takes a village so please keep Niobe in your thoughts and please keep spreading the love with a post or share. 

ALSO DUSU IS NOW AVAILABLE AS AN ADD ON!!! 

With the latest Stretch Goal unlocked you can get your paws on DUSU: Path of the Ancient (a tale of Niobe’s family tribe!) by Niobe creative team of Jones and May along with Stranger alums Christopher Garner and James C. Webster. By increasing your pledge amount by $25 (Shipping included with any pledge for a physical reward) you can get the oversized hardcover to match Niobe and The Untamed!

Here is Terrance aka DUSU to talk about this passion for a Niobe and Dusu hardcover along with Amandla who sharing her dreams about Niobe beyond the comic!

Here is the DUSU synopsis:  

“Within every heart sleeps the animal.  The One awakened will be lord of all.”  – Galemren proverb.  

Hidden from his kin and sheltered from his future, Dusu is raised among the Galemren (Wild Elves) in the secret heart of the Ugoma Jungle, a world in which he does not belong. But Dusu is not entirely human either. He is on the Path to something more… Dusu must focus his rage and become the savior of Ugoma before all he loves is destroyed.

So, onto new Stretch Goals and new conventions. See you at Denver Comic Con!!!

Love Seb

AND A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO OUR FRIENDS! Please check out the following:  

BLACK

From June 20 – July 31, Kickstarter Gold will spotlight creators as they run new projects inspired by favorite rewards and ideas from their past campaigns. Featuring some of the most exciting creators of the past eight years, the initiative will be an opportunity for backers to connect with these exceptional artists, designers, and makers — and to get in on special rewards that aren’t available anywhere else. After the BLACK campaign ended, people still asked how they can contribute – so we were delighted and honored when Kickstarter contacted us about bringing BLACK back to participate in KICKSTARTER GOLD. Find this masterpiece here: 

LINK:  For our Black Kickstarter Gold campaign, we’re seeking funds to have our amazing toner, Derwin Roberson remaster the entire book for all backers. 

And here is fantasy project...

The Black Suit of Death, Returns! 

We have returned to Kickstarter once again to raise funds to cover the cost of art and production for The Black Suit of Death #2. This subsequent issue picks up where the last one left off, as Edd Grimes, now possessed by the Black Suit of Death (B.S.D.), finds himself compelled to fulfill the alien suit's mission. "Mud & Blood: Part I" is our love letter to those who have supported us all these years and their chance, your chance, to have your likeness appear in a comic book! In this issue we return to the violent action readers of Ides of March have been waiting for! 

 

HERE IS A TRAILER TO THEIR PROJECT!

Over 18 deaths in Edd's first massacre as the pilot of the B.S.D. allows for 18 opportunities for your likeness to be worn by a character fated to meet the sharp end of the reaper's scythe! 

Bonus pages in Niobe AND Dusu! :)

Hey Guys!

Another update, so soon after the last one :) That is because we just smashed through another stretch goal thanks to you guys! It is truly an honor for our project to receive so much love, so I can't thank you enough. Well - I can, by letting you know that 16 MORE pages will go into both the NIOBE She is Life hardcover AND the DUSU Path of the Ancient hardcover. Whatever Niobe gets, so does Dusu, so I do recommend you to pick up the DUSU book as an ADD ON (and THE UNTAMED hardcover) to complete the set if you can :)

So, let us keep knocking down the goals so we can get you more goodies. Any pledge, post, or tirade to your friends is greatly appreciated.

Much love!

Seb
