Hello Awesome Backers:
Yes, the campaign for the special limited edition hardback is coming. And without further ado, here's our amazing cover by Rebekah Isaacs, with color by Kurt Michael Russell.
This special limited edition hardcover (162 pages) will include our original six issue mini-series, pin up art by Jessie Mesa Toves, Melissa Pagluica, and Karl Altstaetter, weapons sketches from Granville's workshop (new), and a brand new exclusive 10 page story with art by MJ Erickson.
I've got some new and super cool things planned, so be sure to click below to be notified when we launch.
I almost forgot. The Kickstarter Thank you Wall is live. Please take a look. If a name was misspelled, let me know and I'll fix it. The conversion from Backerkit to Excel sometimes gets wonky. I do check it, but every once in awhile I miss something.
AND...there are some cool campaigns going on you should check out.
RECOMMENDED KICKSTARTERS
HEIRS OF ISILDUR: The Perilous Prospects Books 1-3
Will MYKAL ISILDUR's return from his supernatural sabbatical be enough to turn the tide on the apocalyptic collapse of SHADOW'S HAVEN?
MYKAL ISILDUR is BACK from his supernatural sabbatical, and not a moment too soon. He returned with a clear vision and purpose, but unfortunately for him, so much changed while he was gone.
THE PEACEKEEPERS #1-4 from Ringo Award-Winner Rylend Grant
Bank robbery! Murder! Mayhem! A twisted, howl-at-the-freakin'-moon crime drama from the creator of ABERRANT, BANJAX, and THE JUMP.
All hell breaks loose in a quaint northern Michigan community when a team of in-over-their-heads bank robbers kills a beloved Sheriff’s Deputy. In a small town with BIG secrets, local detective Richard Holton races to peel back the layers of a depraved down home conspiracy before the bungling Federal Agents assigned to the case send everyone involved to ground.
I've been holding off announcing this for privacy reasons and until I had more definitive information, but now is the right time...
Elisabeth, my artist, was in a some what serious car accident a number of months ago, and though she was generally all right, her hands were injured. She has been recuperating and is in physical therapy. The good news is that she is being cleared to work in a few weeks (probably early February) and is excited to start drawing again. The bad news is we are way behind my previous schedule. Obviously, only Elisabeth's health and recovery matter, so I'm not concerned about that. The issues will be completed. It will just take longer than I had anticipated.
Once I see how we're progressing, I'll be able to better plan the next Kickstarter. As usual, I will keep you posted.
In the meantime, I have decided to move forward with something that's been on the back burner for awhile.
BOSTON METAPHYSICAL SOCIETY VOL. 1 SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION HARDBACK
Many of you have been asking when I was going to produce a hardback version, and the answer is, "I am this year!" I'll have more images in a later post, but it will have a cover by Rebekah Isaacs (BZRKR, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel & Faith, etc.), plus pin up art, weapons sketches from Granville's workshop, and a brand new 10 page story.
I'm looking to launch the Kickstarter in March.
Not to forget my colleagues, here are a couple of...

Hello Awesome Backers:
The packing party was a resounding success as we packed over 300 Gemini mailers. (A big thank you to Markeia and James B). All were picked up by USPS on Monday, and I believe a number of them are being delivered today in the Southern California area. I was also able to do more packing over the last couple of days, so we have over 400 boxes and/or Gemini mailers out the door to both US and non-US backers.
I have only done a few of the metal covers, but they are coming. Please note that I will be on vacation next week, but I'll pack as many of the remaining 128 as I can. Otherwise, I'll get to them when I return. Unless something weird happens, I should have them all done before Christmas.
And please let me know how you like the new story!
Once again, thank you for your patience.
Best, Madeleine

Hello Awesome Backers:
I'm happy to report the comics have finally been delivered, and they look fabulous!
Boston Metaphysical Society: Mystery at Pikes Peak Issues 1 and 2, plus my shoe.
Here's what happens next...I've got about 1000 of these to sign, bag, and board before Saturday when the team is getting together to pack up as many as we can. I plan on a pick up from USPS Next Monday (12/4) which will get out 2/3 of over 500 Gemini mailers/boxes, etc. So it will be a big push as I want to be done with this before I leave on vacation on the 12th. (Wish us luck.)
I seriously need a Margarita right now, but there's too much to be done, so I'll save that for later. In the meantime, be sure to check out these terrific campaigns going on right now.
