We're offering a newEnamelPin FOR FREE to anyone who supports this project above a certain threshold - the "PoisonApple" EnamelPin!
All you have to do to get the pin for free is support this campaign for $30+ Before Shipping (the cost of your Reward Tier + Add-ons), and pledge at a Physical Level (have some Rewards shipped to you).
If both criteria are met, we'll include the Enamel Pin with your Rewards completely free of charge!
And if you're a pin lover, you can add even more enamel pins via Add-ons (where we have 20+ enamel pin designs available):
The Enamel Pin Add-ons were missing at the start of the campaign, so this is your chance to grab them if you missed them when originally pledging!
During the campaign, we also added the Premium Digital PDF Deluxe Edition and a physical copy of Bi Visibility: A Bisexual Comic Book Anthology #1. So if you missed those, be sure to browse our Add-ons section (could help get you closer to that free enamel pin)!
I read the first volume of Inferno Girl Red and enjoyed the direction of her origin story. I can't wait to see where the series takes our hero in their second volume.
"In 2021, an explosively successful Kickstarter campaign helped writer Mat Groom (Marvel Comics’ ULTRAMAN and Image’s ULTRAMASSIVE) and artist Erica D’Urso (CAPTAIN MARVEL and XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS) deliver the 125-page graphic novel INFERNO GIRL RED: BOOK ONE–– which combined the high school super-heroic drama of INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE with the dynamic storytelling and world-building of Japanese tokusatsu superheroes, and the intrigue and relationship drama of British boarding school fiction. Now, they’re returning to Kickstarter to tell the next chapter in the story of legendary hero INFERNO GIRL RED in INFERNO GIRL RED: BOOK TWO. Groom and D’Urso will be joined by the entire original creative team, including colorist Igor Monti (RADIANT BLACK, DEEP CUTS), letterer Becca Carey (ROGUE SUN, REDLANDS), editor Kyle Higgins (RADIANT BLACK, NIGHTWING, MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS) and design agency FOR THE PEOPLE. The new campaign invites readers into the world already loved by thousands, with an opportunity to access both INFERNO GIRL RED: BOOK ONEand BOOK TWO in either digital or deluxe, oversized hardcover forms."
"Flight BA432 enters Heathrow airspace, yet all attempts at communication fail. After an influential 3rd Party intervenes, the aircraft is allowed to land. Dr RICHARD MARRON (liaison between the ECDC and British Government) is contacted, and together with his team, gain entryto the airliner. But inside a horrific nightmarewaits. Bodies are cocooned in a dark fleshy mass."

NEW METAL COVER + Another Stretch Goal Print!

UNLOCKED: New Metal Cover
Overnight, we unlocked our next Stretch Goal: a second Kickstarter-Exclusive Metal Cover!
SECOND KS-EXCLUSIVE METAL COVER!
Our first Metal Cover (the "Monstrous" cover by Stjepan Sejic) sold out on day one of the campaign, so we thought it would be fun to give folks who missed out on that Cover a chance at a new Metal Cover - this one based on our NSFW "Prey" Cover!
Like the first Metal Cover, this cover is EXTREMELY limited! There are 15 available as Add-on and 10 available as part of a new Reward tier - each priced at $60.
If you're interested, grab them before they're gone!
UP NEXT: WIP "Stained-glass" Print
If the campaign hits $61,000 funding, we'll be adding anotherfreeartprint for all backers (Digital copies of the art print for Digital backers)!
For this one, we're doing something a little different...we're creating a print of the WIP Concept Art for one of our most popular covers!
$61,000 Stretch Goal - Get our WIP Stained-glass Art Print for free!
Our "Beast Stained-glass" Variant Cover by Longestdistance has been a really popular choice among backers. And we really love some of the greyscale concept art for the cover (it has a really cool haunting quality to it), so we thought it would be fun for fans of the cover and fans of WIPs to have a printed version of an earlier stage of the cover!
If we hit $61,000 funding, this print will unlock!
From our good friend SteveBryant comes another super cool vampire book - with a punk rock twist!
For centuries, the Van Helsing family has protected humanity from things that go bump in the night. The last protector has fallen, and the mantle goes to her one surviving heir. The problem is, Evie Van Helsing just wants to rock.
