With Minis, from Magnetic Press

It is post-9/11 America, and young contractor Sam Castillo returns from a business trip to the Middle East mere days before a terrorist attack is thwarted in New York. He thinks nothing of it, focused on his blooming career and the love of his life to whom he's about to propose.

But then, without explanation, he is abducted by political forces and thrown into a distant prison for a crime he had nothing to do with. There, he meets a mysterious mentor who teaches him the secrets of survival, escape, and revenge.

This is the world of MONTE CRISTO, a thrilling contemporary adventure story by Jordan Mechner, the creator of the renowned Prince of Persia video game franchise, revising the classic tale The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.

Back it on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/neurobellum/monte-cristo-a-graphic-novel-of-elegant-revenge

No Future - by Corbeyran and Jef

With NEARLY $100,000 in backers and 7 days to go! It's looking like a good future for "NO FUTURE!" Don't miss out. Check out the latest Kickstarter today! The tipping point between Utopia and Dystopia is subjective and invisible, and civilization can’t help but blindly trample that line underfoot on a regular basis. Far-left and far-right-leaning politics wrap completely around to the opposite ends of the spectrum, and the cycle of ideological struggle continues in a funhouse mirror reflection of itself. Back it here: https://buff.ly/3uePOvC

"NO FUTURE" by Eric Corbeyran and fan-favorite artist Jef paint a portrait of what could very well be our future in their newest graphic novel, JUST launched on KICKSTARTER! http://www.no-future.xyz/ #NoFuture #GraphicNovel #EricCorbeyran #Jef #Kickstarter #MagneticPress #Comics #Comicbooks

When that suspect then disappears with their daughter in tow, the chase begins to save the girl and locate the wife. But this suspect has a lot more historical knowledge of this island than anyone is aware of... #Comics #Comicbooks #DidierCassegrain #TaoBang #DontLetGo #TrappedOnZarkass #BlackWaterLilies #GraphicNovels #Backerkit #Kickstarter

NOW LIVE ON KICKSTARTER | THE MIDNIGHT ORDER - Supernatural Horror by Mathieu Bablet For hundreds of years, those attuned to the powers of magic and supernaturalism have been ostracized and persecuted as “witches” by those who do not understand them or wish to maintain power over them. And yet these individuals continued to practice their knowledge in secrecy to protect themselves and those around them from occult evils that would invade our reality. The most dedicated of these individuals formed THE MIDNIGHT ORDER, an organization that grew through generations into a secret globe-spanning organization of agents who protect humanity from unknown demonic forces that could end the world if left unchecked.
