Clawed down the 4th Stretch Goal and what a Bonus Reward it is!
about 2 years ago – Wed, Apr 20, 2022 at 06:14:45 AM

Good evening my Wolf Pack!

We have hunted and clawed down the 4th Stretch Goal and what a Stretch Goal it is! My friend, Russell Nohelty, who is an excellent writer, has generously offered to give the Wolf Pack his Ichabod Jones Monster Hunter Volume 2 FOR FREE!

That means, all Wolf Pack member at any tier is receiving a FREE digital copy of Ichabod Jones Monster Hunter Volume 2. Which is awesome, but here’s the unbelievable part…Russell has also offered to contribute several physical copies of the Ichabod Jones Monster Hunter Volume 2 HARDCOVER to Wolf Pack members who pledge at the Print Catch-Up: Standard Covers tier or higher ($65 and up) FOR FREE! So, if you were on the fence between the digital catch-up tiers and the physical catch-up tiers, or even considering one of the higher tiers, this hardcover is now included with all those tiers.

What is Ichabod Jones Monster Hunter? 

It's a 96-page Lovecraftian dark fantasy, horror-comedy about a psychopath that escapes from a mental asylum and becomes a monster hunter during the Apocalypse, but he doesn't know if he's killing monsters, humans, or it's all in his head the whole time. The second arc breaks the story open into a fantastical world full of even more magic and monsters, including his meeting the first wizard of the Apocalypse, Necromonica, huge sand scorpions, nightmare elves, inferini, and much more. The first arc hinted at the huge world of Ichabod Jones: Monster Hunter, and the second arc smacks you full force into it.

What about Ichabod Jones Monster Hunter Volume 1?

 Well, Russell, whose generosity knows no bounds, has also generously offered volume 1 to our mutual friend, Charlie Stickney for his White Ash Kickstarter! You may remember that Charlie and I are running a cross promotion for the Lilian & the Wolf 5x7” print for everyone who backs both White Ash and Night Wolf. So, not only can you get the print for backing both campaigns, but you can also get the first two volumes of Russell’s Ichabod Jones Monster Hunter! Click here to visit the White Ash Deluxe Edition Kickstarter Page!

I have both volumes of Ichabod myself and they are great reads with awesome art. This is literally a steal of a deal just for you wonder Wolf Pack members and White Ashians as Thank You Gifts! I always strive to give the Wolf Pack the best free bonus rewards, and this time Russell has helped with that endeavor! Charlie and I can’t thank Russell enough for generously donating these gorgeous hardcovers!

Clawed Down the 3rd Stretch Goal!
about 2 years ago – Sun, Apr 17, 2022 at 02:34:43 AM

Happy Saturday my Wolf Pack!

I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far! The pack has clawed down the 3rd Stretch Goal! We are currently at 175% funded with 418 Wolf Pack members strong and continuing to grow! You Wolf Pack members are crushing these Milestones and Stretch Goals! Well done, I'm so proud that you all have joined me on this hunt! However, we not done yet! There are still plenty to unlock!

UNLOCK NEW Stretch Goals! The stretch goals will be revealed once their thresholds have been clawed down! These stretch goals consist of a variety of FREE Bonus Rewards, new ADD-ONs, and book enhancements!

• $12,500 UNLOCKED - NEW limited METAL COVER editions of Night Wolf #1-6 can be now be added to any physical pledge. These covers can be graded through both CGC and CBCS. These specialty covers will be produced by Faerie Metal Photography!
• $15,000 UNLOCKED - All backers at any pledge level will receive Carlos Herrera's Night Wolf Digital Sketch Book for FREE!
• $17,500 UNLOCKED - An advanced preview of the NEW Plush Night Wolf Voodoo Doll designs.

A NEW Plush Night Wolf Voodoo Doll Design

So, I have been sitting on this design for a few months now,  saving it for this Stretch Goal reveal. I'm super excited that I now get to share it with you! It original came from a pin up featuring the twin witches, Janelle & Circe, by Megan Affolter. In the pin up Circe is holding a voodoo doll of Night Wolf, which was such an awesome touch that Megan had included in her art, that I had to do something more with it. Last Fall, while she was working on the chibi stickers from the Snow Paw campaign, I asked if she would be interested in doing the designs for a plushie inspired by her Night Wolf voodoo doll. She of course loved the idea and whipped out the awesome designs below in no time flat.

Now, I haven't found the right vendor for the product yet. I'm still searching, so if anyone knows one please message me with more information. Also, I'm not quite sure if I'm going to make this its own Kickstarter or make it part of the next Night Wolf campaign. It would probably be released a little faster if I launch a separate Kickstarter for it. On the other hand, I've yet to launch a non-comic book Kickstarter, so I would be entering uncharted waters. Which could be a fun experiment for me. What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments below!

A supernatural monster stalks the grounds of an exotic vacation resort whose guests get to leave all their troubles behind... FOREVER!

Happy Hill is a supernatural vacation thriller and horror action dramedy comic book series about the deadly consequences of the pursuit of happiness, written by Bram Stoker-Award Nominated writer Rich Douek (Sea of Sorrows, Road of Bones, Wailing Blade) and co-written & drawn by artist Joe Mulvey (Scam, Wailing Blade).

Here's What Happy Hill is All About...Wyatt Willows and Thea Rippley are the only survivors of the infamous “Roanoke Orphanage” disappearance that claimed twelve children in a single night. While Thea has done her best to put it behind her, Wyatt is convinced that local urban legend, The Wudsman, was responsible and he's been obsessed with proving it. When 6-year-old Mackenzie MacIntyre disappears on the grounds of the exclusive Happy Hill resort, the only thing found in the search is an old mask once worn by the Wudsman, covered in Mackenzie's blood! With his first hot lead in years, Wyatt ropes Thea back into the investigation, posing as a vacationing couple at the opulent resort. Meanwhile, lost in the woods, young Mackenzie runs for her life after coming face to face with the terrifying Wudsman. As Wyatt and Thea get a grand tour of everything Happy Hill has to offer, every too-good-to-be-true step takes them closer to learning that the price people are willing to pay for true happiness might be more than anyone involved can bear.
