HUZZAH!! We did it!! The Kickstarter campaign for RUNNERS Vol 1 ended last night and made it to the funding goal, with a bit extra to spare! Thanks everyone for backing the project and supporting it on social media. I can’t wait to get it to everyone, and then get cracking on Volume 3!!
For anyone who missed the campaign, you can order the new color edition of Volume 1, as well as Volume 2, from my Store.
Thanks again everyone!!
I’ll be set up at MegaCon in Orlando this weekend (Thur-Sun)! Feel free to swing by and take advantage of my Spring Sale: buy Vol 2 and get Vol 1 (b&w) for FREE! And you can always upgrade that free b&w Vol 1 to color via the Kickstarter campaign! I’ll be in Artist Alley at table 287A. See you there!
To go with the Kickstarter campaign, here is an hour-long interview I did just for Wayne’s Comics Podcast at Major Spoilers. It was a lot of fun and I address a number of Wayne’s great questions regarding my search for publishers, the lure of tweaking all the art during the coloring process, how Game of Thrones and Harry Potter are big inspirations for the series, and more!

The Kickstarter campaign to fund the printing of Vol 1 in color has officially begun!! I am extremely excited to get the first book in color to match Vol 2, the upcoming Vol 3, and all future stories. The campaign runs from May 21 to June 24, so be sure to get your pledges in before then! The book will be available in both paperback and Kickstarter-exclusive hardcover editions, and copies of Vol 2 are also still available, in both paperback and hardcover.
I am offering a number of rewards with the Kickstarter campaign, which include:
Set of three 8″ x 10″ prints
Set of seven 4″ x 6″ character cards
8″ x 10″ character portraits, inked or toned-paper commissions
Super-deluxe 11″ x 17″ inked commission of the entire crew!
Please check out the Kickstarter campaign for RUNNERS Vol 1 and I hope you’ll help me make it a success! And please help spread the word! New sci-fi and comic readers always welcome. 🙂
Thanks everyone!!! Go Kickstarter!!
I’ve very excited to announce that RUNNERS Volume 1: Bad Goods will be re-issued very shortly IN COLOR!
While I still think the b&w version of Vol 1 works well, I know that b&w art can be a deterrent for some readers, which I’d hate to be the case with my series. Also, after having done Vol 2 in color, I really do think color helps sell the sci-fi world of the series quite a bit. As I started working on Vol 3, I decided that Vol 1 really should be in color sooner rather than later to (a) open up the series to as many readers as possible, and (b) visually match Vol 2 and all future RUNNERS books, which will also be in color.
I am currently putting together a Kickstarter campaign to fund the printing of the new color Vol 1, and I hope to launch the campaign on May 21. Please help me spread the word about the Kickstarter and the new color version of Bad Goods! The Kickstarter would be a great time for new readers to jump onto the series and current readers to experience the first book in a whole new way. In the meantime, keep checking here for more page samples and additional info on the upcoming campaign!
