Heavy Weapon: My 80's action movie graphic novel - (a Kickstarter project)

[djshok]

That's awesome! The 80's action flick is a lost art.

Hey is this project the reason you had to sell your wooden dong collection?

[enix2093]

Yessir. It's the reason I sold pretty much everything gaming related that held value as well. Like both of my sealed SGGG Limited Editions, among other things.

[enix2093]

Ok, so I changed the pricing to make it more affordable for cheapos:
$30 for the printed Black & White of one artist (and includes PDF of BOTH artists in B&W), or $15 for just a PDF of one version. The Deluxe Edition is available in PDF and will be $25 - a fraction of the printed versions.

I just did an interview with comicsbulletin.com. It went well. I'll post a link once it's up.

Well, it looks like I had to drop one artist. Not only because of costs, but because he stopped sending me pages...so, with that said, we're almost done with the original artist and things are moving along to a [hopefully] December release.

Check out the original post; I've added some updates and more info on the project.

Here's a sample of one of the nearly finished pages. It differs a bit from the sampler on my website obviously because it has been grayscale shaded:




...and for comparison, this is the untouched "inked" page:

I just updated the preview to 15 pages so you can see the main character kicking a little ass, and included some updated grayscale art on the first few pages.

Here's a prototype of the final product for the Munition Edition (subject to change, and probably will for the better):



- Ammo Box Packaging
- Character Trading Cards
- Challenge Coins
- Dog Tags
- USB Bullet w/ Digital Copy of Heavy Weapon
- Survival Knife & Chinese Dagger Bookmarks
- Hardcover Book

Items that may also be included, but not pictured:
- Poster
- Mini Book containing "Making of...", and more.

If anyone had any interest in pledging support via kickstarter...now would be a good time. Only a little more than a week left, and far from the goal.

Update for the Munition Edition:
I just got the Certificates of Authenticity today (still need to be printed/signed) and the hologram security serial labels (one for the cert, and a matching one for the book). These will also be similar for the signed softcovers:

Early "beta" copies have been sent out to a handful of reviewers, so hopefully I can get some solid feedback...
