A new update from our publisher has been posted to the Kickstarter page for our Razor's Edge Anthology #1 campaign in regards to the shipping. I know people have been waiting and the fulfillment is months late, and this update explains why. The project is about half mailed out so far and the rest is coming in the next few weeks. But you can read the details here:

It has been a rough year all around for our company. If you collect or read Cavewoman, our main title we publish, then you know our amount of books released this year is one of the fewest amounts in 2 decades. And on Kickstarter we didn’t do anything this year as we are just focused on catching up...

Here is a quickly thrown together video to show off the enhanced covers from the campaign. We had a Silver foil (Silver), a Holofoil (Chrome), and Metal cover options, and here is how they look in hand.

The Razor's Edge Anthology #1 product is starting to ship out to all the Kickstarter backers, but I wanted to share some stuff here. The ashcan edition was originally supposed to have a red cardstock cover, but the printer didn't have it in stock, so we went with blue instead. It came out pretty awesome! Like the Image Comics ashcans on the '90s, these are 5.5x8.5 inches and all b&w interiors with a colored cardstock cover.
These are serially numbered and limited to 75 copies. Some were sold in the campaign and we (the creators) each got a few copies for ourselves.
But they came out real nice and here's some pics!

If anyone here is going to attend SDCC (San Diego Comic-Con) this week, stop by and say hi! Amryl Dark Entertainment's writer & editor Dave Kopecki (me) and cover & interior artist Nick Nix will both be there selling comics and signing for free!

Nick will be at table DD-20 in Artist Alley, and Dave will be there as well periodically throughout the week to sign books and chat with fans. We will have the brand new Razor's Edge Anthology #1 comics, the new official relaunch of Razor and the London Night universe, as well as our previous books Cavewoman: Razor's Run and Cavewoman Metal Age 1 & 2. (Razor's Edge is currently going to print for the KS backers and will then mail out once everything is all printed, we just get our comp copies a bit earlier and those are what we will have at the con. Just FYI.)

Also, if you have any of our books that you got from us in a previous campaign or bought elsewhere, like from your local comic book store, bring those by and we will sign them for free too! Hope to see some people there!

It's been a while since we posted here, but we are gearing up to go to print soon on the Razor's Edge Anthology book for Kickstarter. So we have the books, cards, and other product all designed and locked. I wanted to share the London Night Pinup Book we did just for the Kickstarter, although we may have some extra after fulfillment.
Since we love the '90s, we did the pinup book as a flip book and it is all in glorious b&w, even the covers. So one side has pinups of the characters by Andrew Mangum, Gabriel Mangum, Nick Nix, and Rob Doria. The other side is all by Gabriel Mangum! Here are the front and back covers, one by Gabriel and one by Rob Doria.

Budd recently finished painting his cover, so we wanted to share it now since we didn't get it during the campaign. This thing is HOT! Pencils, inks, and watercolors by Budd Root.

We wanted to give a huge shout out & thank you to all the fans that backed and supported this campaign and for giving us another successful campaign on the books. Razor's Edge Anthology #1 was 262% funded to the tune of $13,147!

Thank you to the storytelling art team Andrew Mangum, Gabriel Mangum, Nicholas Nix, and Dave Newbold! Thank you to our colorists Gene Jimenez and Dan & Dave Kemp! And to all of our cover artists not listed above, Budd Root, Devon Massey, and Izik Bell! We couldn't have done it without all of you and your contributions.

So a hearty thank you to everyone that helped us along the way and shared or backed the campaign! You all rock! 🤘🤘🤘

Every Friday I add something new to the campaign. Today we added a killer wall calendar to our campaign add-ons, and it can be added to any physical order for just $20!

This one uses the 12 variant covers as the images for the months, featuring the cover art by Andrew Mangum, Budd Root, Devon Massey, Izik Bell, Nicholas Nix, David Newbold, Gabriel Mangum, Dave Kemp, and Nathan Boutwell! Get some killer art for every month of the year! (calendar runs June 2022-June 2023)

There are just 8 days left on the campaign and now is the time to hop on board if you were on the fence! :)

05/11/2021

These 2 special books get added to the campaign on Kickstarter tomorrow morning at 9am Pacific! The London Night Pinup Book is a 24-page b&w comic full of all-new pinups by Gabriel Mangum, Andrew Mangum, Rob Doria, and possibly others.
The Razor Con Book is a look behind the scenes at what might have been. Years before we came aboard, Devon Massey and publisher Kevin Alsop toyed around with some ideas for Razor, so the con book includes character sketches by Devon, some story ideas by Dan Parsons, and a few pages of layouts by artist Buzz! So both of these are available to add to any order tomorrow!

Every Friday during the campaign we will add something cool to the add-ons for the campaign! So stop by and get some killer variant covers to some great comics and now you can add these new goodies as well! Check out the campaign now!

We just added 2 fully finished 11x17 commission opportunities from Andrew Mangum to the campaign! Andrew will do 2 commissions for the Razor's Edge campaign, for a single, full-figure London Night character of your choice with some background and both must be London Night characters because both will be included in an all new pinup book that we will add to the campaign on Friday, 11/5! The 24 page special add-on pinup comic will include all new pinups by Andrew, Gabriel Mangum, and possibly more!

The Lethal Strike image below was done by Andrew as an example of his commissions he is offering, and it is also for sale for the same price of just $200!! So check out the campaign now for some killer Art Rewards by Andrew as well as Nicholas Nix and Gabriel Mangum!

Today I wanted to focus on our b&w variant covers in the campaign. When we release our comics through Diamond to comic stores, we can only do the main variant covers, but on Kickstarter we get to do b&w variant covers AND enhanced specialty covers in Metal, Chrome, Crystal, and Silver.

But these special b&w line art editions are just the raw original art scans with our logo on it, so you can fully appreciate these awesome "pure art" covers in glorious b&w. You can see all the b&w variants available in the image below and check out the campaign now at the following link.

Hello All, As we are creeping toward the next stretch goal, I would just like to ask everyone to please share the campaign across social media and help us to get the word out. All of you are the key to our success, and the more we bring in, the more awesome free stuff for you! 😃 So in today's upd...

Here is our newest Kickstarter update that went out this morning after we hit our goal after 2 1/2 days.

Thank you all so much for your support of our newest campaign!
Thanks to all of you we have hit our first stretch goal, unlocking the desktop wallpaper for your computer! But from here on out, ALL the stretch goals are cool physical items. I will update with new ones as we unlock the posted ones like we always do.

Here is an image of the first 3 stretch goals you can look forward to. At $5k we unlocked the desktop wallpaper, then at $7500 we unlock the cool Razor button, and then at $10k is the Lethal Strike temporary tattoo! There are a lot of other cool things on the horizon too, which we can only unlock as we hit new benchmarks. So please share the campaign across your social media and tell all your friends and family that may be interested. We are a word of mouth campaign so we can't do it without your help, and the more money we bring in, the more free stuff you will get! So it is win-win for all of us!

NEW STUFF WILL BE ADDED THROUGHOUT THE CAMPAIGN:
We wanted to try some new ways of doing things on this campaign, like the special 14th variant cover that is only available in the cover sets. (Regular or enhanced) So one of these new things we will be trying is adding new items on Fridays each week of the campaign. This coming Friday we will be adding more art commissions and art rewards from some of the other artists on the book. So while Andrew Mangum's art rewards are all gone already, we still have some art rewards by Nick Nix and Gabriel Mangum, and we will be adding more by them on Friday morning!

In the coming weeks I will be adding new things each week such as a wall calendar using all the variant covers, some T-shirt options, a possible b&w pinup book, and even a special Razor ashcan!

So be sure to watch the updates we post and check the campaign each week to see what other awesome products we will make available! So stay tuned!

Thank you all!

Check out the campaign now!

This is the special "14th variant" that is only available if you buy the complete cover set in the regular or enhanced editions during the Kickstarter campaign. It is one of the 2 variants by Dave Kemp, who is also the colorist on the Morbid Angel story and colorist on Andrew's covers this time around. This book will be extremely rare and is a special gift from us to all the fans that back for the cover set pledge levels.
But we have 13 other variant covers to choose from and something for everyone! Check out the Kickstarter campaign now!

These are some of the awesome original art rewards from the campaign, launching in almost 24 hours! We will have 5 bust sketches on blank sketch covers available from Andrew Mangum, as well as a HUGE double page spread he did of Morbid Angel.

From artist Nicholas Nix we have the original art to his complete stories for the 5-page Poizon story (that he inked over Dave Newbold bluelines) and the 7-page Lethal Strike story (his inks over bluelines of his own pencils).

And last but not least, cover and interior artist Gabriel Mangum did four 11x17 sketches of each of the 4 main characters, so those are available as well!

Be sure to check out the campaign right at launch, tomorrow at 6pm Pacific, if you want any of this as it goes fast!

This anthology shows you where the characters are now and will lead directly into next years 2-issue series, Razor: Afterlife!

We are pleased to announce we will be launching the brand new Razor's Edge Anthology #1 on Kickstarter in 5 days! The new campaign launches at 6pm Pacific on Friday, October 22nd! Below you can see all the variant covers from Andrew Mangum, Nicholas Nix, David Newbold, Gabriel Mangum, Budd Root, Izik Bell, Devon Massey, Dave Kemp, and Nathan Boutwell! And as usual, we will have some great products and fun stretch goals!

This is the official relaunch of the London Night Universe in their first title in 15 years. This anthology picks up in modern day with various major players and shows us where they are and what they are doing now. The first issue focuses on Morbid Angel, Lethal Strike, Poizon, and Tommi Gunn!
This anthology will allow us to tell stories about some of the other characters in between the regular miniseries like the upcoming Razor: Afterlife series coming in 2022.

We are still waiting for final colors for the Budd Root and Izik Bell covers, as they color themselves or have their own colorists. But we will launch regardless in 5 days with what we have. We hope to see you all there!

We had originally hoped to launch already but we still have covers coming in from artists like Budd Root, Devon Massey, and Izik Bell, so we need more time for them to get to those. So now it is looking like we will launch sometime in September instead of August. Stay tuned for more updates to come!

Hello All!

We are still working through shipping all the Metal Age #2 product out to you all so we can launch our next campaign, but we will start previewing that soon. In the meantime I wanted to take a quick minute to tell you about another project I am working on that just launched. I am helping to run another campaign on my personal KS account with my son, who is also a writer and who also loves to tell dark stories in the supernatural fantasy realm. So this novel is very much in keeping with the tone and type of stories that Amryl Dark Entertainment does. We hope you will give it some consideration and back the project!

Coldharr Chronicles: Rebirth - A novel by Xander Kopecki
The first book in a thrilling new dark-fantasy novel series, introducing Kyle Coldharr and his brutal world of magic.

This is NOT a Young Adult book, but an actual adult magical dark-fantasy novel with 10 interior illustrations throughout. As the first book of a planned series, and with the second novel well underway, the first chapter of Book 2 will also be included in the back of the book as one of the first stretch goals. The Coldharr Chronicles series starts here!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/allthingsinthevoid/coldhaar-chronicles-rebirth-a-novel-by-xander-kopecki/

Story synopsis:
Evil lurks around every corner, but the worst evil of all hides behind a human face. Kyle Coldharr has been beaten, tortured and abused his entire life, all because he was born with the wrong Attribute. In a world of Magical Attributes, discrimination and bigotry run rampant and follow the Dark Attributes, yet Light Attributes are held up on a pedestal as something to respect and elevate. In this world, where you can heal almost any injury with magic, the brutality and injustice visited upon Dark Attributes is palpable.

But Kyle is unique, even for a person in a magical world such as this. For all his pain and suffering, he is a man of immense mental fortitude that has managed to teach himself spells of immense power. Through this he comes to learn that he shares his mind and soul with the Void God, a legendary being and ruler of the vast space of pure energy known as the Void. With this hitchhiker in tow, he is a young man at a crossroads that can go either way, good or evil. As Kyle deals with prejudice, school, bullies, and the dark voice of the Void God in his head, it is only his friends that can keep him grounded and pull him back from the edge.

Once he became an adult, Kyle went through the Awakening ceremony, as all people do when they graduate school and enter adulthood in this world. That’s when his life was flipped upside down by the enormous Dark power that awakened in him that day. Now armed with otherworldly powers and a terrible and insatiable hunger, he sets out to protect his friends, cleanse his city of criminals, and do what he needs to in order to survive. It’s time to show the world what true darkness is.....

The first book in a thrilling new dark-fantasy novel series, introducing Kyle Coldharr and his brutal world of magic.
