WE DID IT!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! + (PENDING / DROPPED BACKERS)
over 1 year ago – Thu, Jun 15, 2023 at 10:35:01 AM

Hey Strangers!

This is a short but most heartfelt message to say THANK YOU! We did it thanks to you guys coming through in such a big way. I was meant to send this sooooo much sooner, but I had to take off to England the night the kickstarter was ending to see my Mum. Hours on a plane + jet lag exhaustion is the reason I’m late. But now, I have my adapter and computer so I couldn’t be more honored and excited to continue to share this heartfelt journey with you! I have such gratitude!

If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact me right away!

PENDING CARDS/DROPPED BACKERS: There are still 52 Backers with cards that have not gone through so you could be one of them. A lot of times cards get held up at the bank due to banks being overprotective. I have messaged each one of you but in case you missed it, please check your spam/promotions folder. Backers have 7 DAYS to rectify or you get dropped from the project! HERE IS A LINK TO HELP!

Thanks so much and more updates to come soon!

LESS THAN 4 DAYS LEFT!!! STRETCH GOAL SMASHED!!! ONLINE WRAP PARTY!!! + PALS!!!
over 1 year ago – Thu, Jun 08, 2023 at 10:06:09 AM

Hello Strangers!

Wow it’s been quite a ride! Now, only a few days left! 

A huge thank you to everyone who is a supporter of this campaign. We just hit the $70K Stretch Goal mark, which means more trading cards AND 7 lucky souls will get a rare metal from the vaults!

I have learned a lot on this one, which includes check the launch date (not on Mother’s Day weekend) and don’t have soooo many variants of multiple comics and combos…in other words: make it easy lol! I should have realized as I’m the guy who likes a menu with about 7 options!

So, I appreciate you guys taking the time to wade through all the choices! And just to clarify, you get your cover choices for exclusives, metals, and art prints when we send the survey (we should have made that more clear too) :) The cover grid is now on the campaign page so you can see! The metal comics are beautiful!!!

AS YOU CAN TELL, ASUNDA HAS BEEN WITH ME FOR 30+ YEARS! HERE'S ME AND MY PALS LARPING!

I believe I was playing an assassin! Look at those ears! And those LARP swords!

NOW WE HAVE THE BEST LARP SWORDS MADE BY CALIMACIL! WHAT A DREAM! These blades will be forged in Hell aka the Nadheim in NIOBE: She is Spirit!

NIOBE'S BLOOD SWORDS!

LAST CHANCE FOR EXCLUSIVE ADD-ONS!

In case you missed it we put up just 50 copies of the SDCC exclusive of X-Men 266 (first appearance of Gambit) homage by Caanan White and Blond! They are as a set with the Kickstarter exclusive. Collect one or more! There also some Silver Metal Waterfalls, Untamed issue #1 sets (first appearance of Niobe) and other rare items from the vaults! If you have any ADD ON questions we have a video which I have again for ya here! Look for around the 3:10m mark for help!

GET THESE SETS BEFORE THEY RUN OUT! Covers by Caanan White and Blond!

And because you need to see these agaib, the METALS!!! Remember you can add any Reward including the Metal Reward 24 (Silver) and Reward 32 (Gold) to any Reward! I am surprised the Silver Metal Baller Bundle as Reward or ADDON at Reward 38 hasn’t been taken more as it discounts so many! (And includes all the paper)!!!

CONVENTIONS!

We are locked in for BLERDCON and SDCC, NYCC, LA COMIC CON and more for the remainder of the year! And if you missed STRANGERCON or the repeat because YouTube took it down, come celebrate:

KICKSTARTER WRAP PARTY! SUNDAY JUNE 12 AT 5PM PST! Who knows what surprises and goodies we will have in store! If we hit 100 likes you will definitely get another mini exclusive art print! 

HIT THE SUBSCRIBE, REMIND, LIKE BUTTON BELOW!

The Kickstarter will end June 13 at 10am so make sure you get all your ADDONS on, and keep sharing the word! With a bit of luck and love, we will hit the next stretch goal where all $100 backers will get a FREE exclusive!

Happy Wednesday, Strangers!

A huge thank you to everyone here! We just knocked down another stretch goal thanks to you guys! I am so incredibly appreciative of the love and support for Niobe and the rest of the characters that have lived in my mind and the world of ASUNDA! What a journey it has been! So in case you missed it:

GET MY SEMINAR FOR FREE:
I wanted to share something extra special with you guys. Every backer who supports this campaign for at least $19 will get an invitation to a private zoom where I will share the HOW TO TAKE AN IDEA FROM CONCEPT TO CREATION lecture I perform at convention panels and universities around the world! I’ll email you the PDF after, which will hopefully inspire you or at least give you some pointers and writer tips. This is very personal for me, so I hope you find something in it, whether you’re a creator or not. IF YOU FEEL A WRITER/CREATOR or  SOMEONE WHO NEEDS A SWIFT KICK IN THE BEHIND WILL BENEFIT, PLEASE LET THEM KNOW. A COOL COMIC / PRINT AND SEMINAR! :)

Writing these Niobe and Untamed comics and all the Tales of Asunda has been a soul-searching experience. You read them, you know a part of me... 

Thank you for all the love over the years.

REGARDING ADD ONS: We have added a few more like cool God symbol patches and more exclusives. Please check the bottom of the campaign page to see them! And for folks that missed it, here is a tutorial on how to rock add ons.

Dear Stranger Family!!!

We did it thanks to you guys!!! What a wonderful day yesterday, thank you so much for making this happen. It is has been well over thirty years since Asunda first started coming into a young lad's wild imagination, so to see how far it has come, and to celebrate it with you guys is truly a blessing. I am so very appreciative!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Speaking of creating worlds, it is Dura who created the world of Asunda, so it is fitting we celebrate this campaign on Mother's Day. I hope you enjoy some of the beautiful covers we have on display that really evokes the spirit of creation.

If you have any questions regarding how to ADD ON there is a graphic on the campaign page showing you how, but we will also make a video to help and you can always message me here.

STRANGERCON

Thank you to everyone who stopped by!!! Unfortunately YouTube took it down!!! I think because I played some music?? I am not sure why, but it was a special event and I am honored to share the day with you.
