The Dark Age: 4 Days to make it real.

For the past month and a half, we have been working to raise the money to print "The Dark Age: All the Magic is Gone" #1.

My next comic sits in a strange place between detective noir and urban fantasy, while-- I hope-- being something completely new. Detective Sandra Cash has a chance to discover an impossible truth about the world, it's history, and the possibility of a very different future.

This is my second ongoing comics series, and like with The Deathlings, the entire team was put together on DeviantArt. Line art and covers are by the amazing Rosaria Battiloro (Nachan) and color art is by the lovely Paulina Vassileva (pauscorpi). You can find some art from the series in our galleries here, but it's even easier to find over on our Kickstarter site.

I'm writing today because time in running out. The Kickstarter fundraising platform lets people pre-order, pledge in exchange for prizes, or straight-up donate to creative causes-- but if the project doesn't reach it's goal by the end, nothing changes hands. It's all or nothing.

As of today, there are seven four days left in our Kickstarter, and we have raised an amazing $1,669 $1,738 from literally dozens of amazing and generous people. (Including selling over a hundred copies of our comics.) That means we need to raise another $331 $262 in the next week, or it was all for nothing.

If you can help, for as little as $3, it would mean a lot to us. Literally the difference between printing 2,500 professional copies of this comic book, or not being able to print. This isn't charity, and when done right it's simply a pre-order.

You can even get original artwork by some incredible artists in exchange for your pledge (and along with your copy of the comic). Not just anyone, but some fantastic and well-known deviants!

JonathanWyke is offering a digital commission!
jurithedreamer is offering a finished "sketch". (Hers are amazing!)
* neurotic-elf offered a commission, which has been claimed!
Nachan is offering not one but FOUR original sketches of characters from the book-- that's by the original series artist, no less!
