That move Diana does with Lashina + the lasso is still so fucking good.

It reminds me of that Jackie Chan fight from Shanghai Noon, the one with the rope and horseshoe.

Thx for the responses peeps.
Im planning to launch a kickstarter for my book in a few weeks. Only used 32 pages as a reference. The one I'm planning has 48 sequential pages so basically a double issue.
Mostly worried about printing and shipping costs tbh Printing will likely run me about $4-5 per book plus shipping so per copy Im estimating to come out to $8-9 so it would be pretty hard to justify a $10 physical copy tier.
Kind of thinking
$1 - thx for the money
$5 - pdf
$11 - physical copy
$17 - Phys copy+pdf+bookmark(?)
$30 - Phys+pdf+bookmark+head sketch in book+pdf extras (scripts, character sketches, deleted material, etc)
$40 - all above+digital avatar/profile pic sketch
$70 - all above + 9" x 12" full figure sketch commission
$150 - all above + orig page
$250 - All above but sub in a 11 x 17 full illustration
$375 - everything but sub orig cover for orig page
In all my tentative goal is 1k. Pretty modest I think. All 48 pages have been drawn and lettered. 18 pages have yet to be colored but Ill likely knock those out during the month of the campaign. So getting rewards out the door will likely take me 2 months at most

Has anyone ever ordered from IDW directly? I'm curious how the shipping is from their shop.

Smoke and Shadow just started up, but I'll wait for the hardcovers since they're amazing. Chronologically, it's The Promise, The Search, and then The Rift. Between the three, I think The Search is the best, but The Rift is really good, too. The Promise has a solid idea, but I wasn't much of a fan.
Is it a variant? Because then I'm fine with the quotes.Went back a few pages and didn't see this posted.
I don't know if this is spot on or trying too hard. Those quotes are on the actual cover.
I need to absorb both of you into me.That move Diana does with Lashina + the lasso is still so fucking good.

Yep. The whole thing is pretty solid. The two teams play off each other rather well.

Looking through the Harvey nominees, I was reminded of this small-time miniseries (cancelled short of its full 12 issues) by Donny Cates and Daniel Warren Johnson. DWJ is nominated for a Harvey, and I probably didn't have enough confidence to post about it before, but holy shit DWJ can draw.
The first image is from Ghost Fleet, the second is from Space Mullet (haven't read). Exceptional artist. If anyone is at all interested, Ghost Fleet is an 8 issue mini (published by Dark Horse) that I believe would appeal to people who enjoyed Preacher and more mature action titles.

This is not a good reason to read that and don't act like it is

Maybe as this minuscule yet endearing character detail, but it's not a draw for the book. You're underselling how special the book is by having it hinge on the draw of nipple piercings. It's like you're pricing the book at $9.99. It's a
Which is what he was doing.
Are you really giving me shit for underselling Sunstone? The person who bangs the drum most for the characters and emotions of the story. OK.

I'm just saying, shill with honor. Don't make this about nipple piercings.
Sorry, I didn't mean to make it seem like I was attacking you. Actually, I intended it to be a bit overserious on purpose. lol
Do you not think the piercing was a big story point? Or do you think it was done for titillation? I think it is a very important moment.

I think it was an important character-building moment, but you would need the context.
dude, I was just being facetious. I didn't mean to be taken seriously and I didn't mean to upset you

A non-comic book* got me hooked for the past week but I just finished reading it. Now back to comics
Battling Boy: Such amazing artwork (and lettering and sound effects). And more than that, the world itself is fascinating.
Like Tyrant and frye have said, it very much feels like part one in a multi part story. Shame we haven't heard more about a sequel.
The Rise of Aurora West: Part one of a prequel to Battling Boy. Different artist for this one, but still great. And in contrast to Battling Boy, we actually get a lot more character insight, a good mystery and what feels like a complete story arc. There is a very definite passage of time from the prequels to the Battling Boy book and all the connections are very well done. Works as a great take on the Batman mythology too.
Waiting for The Fall of The House of West to be available at my library, hope that doesn't take too long.
*City of Darkness: Life In Kowloon Walled City Non comic book but does have a lot of pictures. A fascinating look into the Kowloon Walled City, told through great photographs and lots of interviews with long-term residents just before the whole block was demolished. Reads like something straight out of a sci-fi comic.

The power from the various t-shirts was also very interesting.

Messi has pushed Sunstone on me for ages. I'm now going to buy it. But only for the nipple piercings and I am going to judge it solely on that merit.

I was actually looking into The Rise of Aurora West and The Fall of the House of West the other day, I had no idea that Pope didn't do the art. You seem pretty positive towards it so I'll be sure to give it a look. I liked the world a lot and I am very interested in seeing more. It is a real shame how Battling Boy just... stops. It was very enjoyable though.
I highly recommend 100% too. It rules. All black and white and you can tell Pope really just loves inking from it. It's fantastic.
Story you shared was pretty interesting too!
