Hey all,
I just wanted to give you a heads up that backerkit surveys will be going out today and tomorrow. If you missed anything when checking out via kickstarter... if you want to add an extra variant, an art piece... if you want to pick up full signed runs of Aberrant, or Banjax, Suicide Jockeys, The Peacekeepers, or The Jump, you'll have your chance here.
I wanted to highlight a few cool items for you, before you head in.
RARE CON VARIANTS
I am down to my last few copies of some UBER rare/limited Aberrant, Banjax, and Jump con variants... some of these had runs as low as 30 copies, were only sold for two days at a specific con (like SDCC) years back and aren't available anywhere else. I expect to sell completely out of these this go round, so grab them early. Everything will come signed if you so desire.
ORIGINAL ART
I just got a peak at the Original art pieces from Fabio and man, are they stunning. He hand-drew and hand-inked these... I LOVED these so much that I wrote him immediately and demanded that he do a set for me.
We have a very limited number of these still available. They'll be right up top in the shop. You can also still get "anything goes" commissions from Fabio... original BREACH stories staring you... and we can draw you into the book.

OUR OTHER BOOKS!
While you're filling out your surveys, be sure to take a hard look at some of my other Award-winning Half Evil Comics books:
THE JUMP
After a series of crippling personal tragedies, Thomas Northrope retreats from his everyday life and finds comfort in an online community dedicated to the art of astral projection. When he demonstrates a unique aptitude for the practice, Thomas becomes the target of a mysterious corporate/political machine – known as Horizon – bent on using promising young practitioners to win a centuries-old war on the astral plane.
The Jump is another smart, sexy high-concept sci-fi thriller. It is Inception meets The Bourne Identity… if it were dripping with macabre and directed by David Fincher.
“Out of this world. Grant delivers another cinematic thrill-ride. THE JUMP is a beautiful medley of fascination and wonder, filled with engaging characters, sprinkled with humor and heart, a healthy dose of intrigue, all wrapped up with a compelling premise.” (Jason Bennet - PopCultHQ)
“THE JUMP is a massive good time. The pacing is phenomenal. The line work is superb. The color work is brilliant. The is fresh, new, and unique. This is why we love comics.” (Steve Leitman - Reading with a Flight Ring)
ISSUES 1-3 OF THE JUMP ARE AVAILABLE VIA THE ADD-ONS INTERFACE!

THE PEACEKEEPERS
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.
The Peacekeepers is a dark, quirky crime drama in the vein of Fargo or No Country for Old Men. It’s a love letter to case-a-season police dramas like True Detective and The Wire, to Elmore Leonard novels, and to comic masterpieces like Criminal and 100 Bullets.
"THE PEACEKEEPERS is going to make everyone on the indie scene step up their game. This is some next-level s*** that is destined to be snagged by Hollywood. The theatrical feel, the brilliant delivery, the character development, and the remarkable comic book experience you’ll get – THE PEACEKEEPERS is going to make a lot of new fans, impress current fans, and is destined for a lot more than we can possibly know. You want greatness, look no further." (Jason Bennett - PopCultHQ)
ISSUES 1-4 OF THE PEACEKEEPERS ARE AVAILABLE VIA THE ADD-ONS INTERFACE!

BANJAX
A wholly original and delightfully twisted deconstruction of the superhero genre. A disgraced, terminally ill former superhero launches a violent and misguided Death Wish-like campaign to purge the city of supervillains before he dies. His former protégé – currently the public’s point-and-wink superhero ideal – is tasked with bringing him in. The Rub? He isn’t remotely up to it.
BANJAX made over a dozen ten-best lists in 2019, it was nominated for FOUR Mike Weiringo Comic Book Industry Awards (including BEST SERIES) and the critics raved:
“This is the most amazingly well done first issue of a series I have ever seen. Point blank. Period… You cannot read this and come out if the same way you went into it… So effin’ good.” (Steven Leitman, Reading with a Flight Ring)
“Holy crap this is good. This book hits all the right notes. It’s marvelously done, such a compelling story. It’s the best comic I’ve read in a long time. Honestly? Bendis could take some notes here.” (ComicCast Podcast)
SEASON 1 (ISSUES 1-4) OF BANJAX IS AVAILABLE VIA THE ADD-ONS INTERFACE!

ABERRANT
A U.S. Army Special Operations Commander, distraught after losing his entire unit to a superhuman attack, wages an absolutely brutal one-man war on the eccentric billionaire and former superhero, Lance Cordrey, whom he believes is ultimately responsible.
ABERRANT won a prestigious Mike Wieringo Comic Book Award ("Ringo Award") in 2019 for BEST VILLAIN and was nominated for two others... BEST SINGLE ISSUE and BEST WRITER (alongside Jeff Lemire, Scott Snyder, Brian K. Vaughn, and Brian Michael Bendis). And here's what the critics had to say:
“Aberrant flat-out works. You have visceral action scenes. Personalities practically ooze out of the page. Honestly, this is the kind of storytelling that the big publishers are missing.” (Big Comic Page)
“ABERRANT #1 is a game-changer at Action Lab: Danger Zone. You’ll become captivated almost immediately… The creative team put together one of the most seamless, cohesive, and dynamic collaborations I’ve seen this year on the indie scene.” (PopCultHQ)
SEASONS 1 & 2 (ISSUES 1-10) OF ABERRANT ARE AVAILABLE VIA THE ADD-ONS INTERFACE!

SUICIDE JOCKEYS
Ten years after a catastrophic mission gone awry, Denver Wallace, leader of the Suicide Jockeys - a poor, usually drunken, almost certainly mentally ill crew of monster-fighting, tank-and-aircraft-piloting suckers - must pick himself up off the proverbial and literal floors, slap his estranged, desperately-fractured team back together and right what once went wrong.
"Suicide Jockeys is the Marlboro Red smoking result of a drunken, passionate night of lovemaking between Pacific Rim and the Power Rangers. It sucked the socks right off of my gross feet and made me spontaneously combust in a fiery cloud of awesome. It's fresh. It's epic. It's tragic. If you're not reading this, then you're a big dummy." (Blake Morgan - Blake's Buzz)
SEASON 1 (ISSUES 1-4) OF SUICIDE JOCKEYS ARE AVAILABLE VIA THE ADD-ONS INTERFACE!
Anyway, let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so much again for backing!
