Six Days
Time To Knuckle Down & Finish The Job
I’m sure I shared that image before, but I take great pride in the fact that Kickstarter’s team has found every single Spider-Squirrel campaign worthy of the coveted Project We Love badge. I think that says something for what we’re building here.
Since it’s a public comment, I don’t feel weird sharing the fact that Kickstarter’s very own CEO chimed in on my campaign comments! How dope is that??
Anyway, the reason I started writing this is to get the word out that we only have SIX DAYS LEFT on this campaign!!! We’re short about $1399 (okay, exactly that amount) which seems daunting but I know we’re going to pull through. But it’s going to take all of you backing and sharing this campaign to make it happen! These things only succeed because of YOU!
We’re giving away seven (7) FREE digital indiecomics to all backers who pre-order before Tuesday, August 8th at noon (EDT/GMT-5). Back at any rewards level to get these goodies.
The entire Xion Studios library is available in this campaign, including the NEVER-BEFORE-RELEASED GodQuest: Milestone #2!
Step Into The Future
We decided that the enthusiasm for our upcoming “American Yakuza” original graphic novel (OGN) project — from both our readers/fans and our creators — gave us enough reason to provide an early release of a very special item:
This $25 add-on ships WORLDWIDE FOR FREE to all physical rewards backers. The coin isn’t just a cool item — it’s the access key to an EXCLUSIVE Patreon page where owners of these coins (or $10/month Patrons) can get some really cool process insights and digital bonuses such as:
Behind-the-scenes & process artwork
Character designs, bios, and more
Script drafts
Easter eggs & creator commentary
Digital wallpapers
Spotify & Apple Music playlists assembled by the creative team during the process
$5 credit to the official Xion Studios online shop
Digital download of Act I (20pgs) of the finished OGN (the remaining Acts will be made available at a discount for coin-wielders when the Kickstarter campaign launches)
Back this campaign and add this coin to your pledge to get access to this Mature Audiences (18+) book set in the Xion Universe! That's right, this story takes place in the same universe & world as Spider-Squirrel! Ninety-six (96) pages of corporate takeovers, assassination attempts, Yakuza “business”, MMA, sex, international affairs -- this book is John Wick meets The Wolf of Wall Street meets Kill Bill and then some…!
I Invested in an International Conglomerate and Went from MMA Champion to the First-Ever American Yakuza Overnight, Literally… is expected to arrive on Kickstarter by April 2024. Digital rewards for coin-wielders will arrive monthly from October 2023 until the campaign launch.
Excited?? I knew you would be! This is my most ambitious project to date, and probably the one I’m MOST excited about at the moment!! Although, there are more things coming in 2024, if you’ve been reading my Substack or paying attention to my socials…
I’m proud to be working with Anthony Stokes, Chris Moses, Damiano Restivo, Fabi Marques, HdE, and Vito Delsante to bring this project to you!! Covers will be by Restivo, Morse, and our pal Ariel Medel (from GodQuest: Milestone), plus a few surprises!
Go Back The SSTPTSS Now!
So, after all that, I hope you’re ready to go back my current book! Thank you for sticking around, and I hope you have a TERRIFIC weekend!
Congratulations on the Project We Love badge!! That’s an incredible offer, I’m hyped for the SSTPTSS!
