This is a busy busy week at Kalban HQ. Why? Well, a couple things, all related to my comics work.
The first thing up is our DOUBLE SIZED GRAND SEASON FINALE for American Dreams’ first arc! That BIG issue with that awesome Fell Hound cover will be in comic book shops TOMORROW, so you can pick it up there! Alternatively, you can place an order with my publisher, Band of Bards, on their online store, and pick up the whole first arc!
Secondly, my current Kickstarter campaign for Rook & Knight Issue 1 comes to a close in 4 days! (Really 4.5 since it ends on noon-ish on Sunday, but who’s counting? Me…I’m counting.)
Thanks so much to the 180 backers so far, we’re about 90% of the way to our goal. But we need that last push to get over the goal and beyond. We probably won’t make the stretch goals, but I KNOW we can make the goal.
I won’t lie though, it IS stressful. I know people who run SEVERAL in a year and I don’t know how they do it. Compared to last year’s campaigns, this has been a longer stretch to the goal than I thought it would be. But, I’ve seen this happen with friends too this year, and they came roaring back to meet the goal, plus a little extra. I know we can do the same with Rook & Knight. So, if you haven’t backed it yet, check out the KS HERE!
Hopefully this time next week I’ll be a bit more relaxed.
In other news, I will be at Baltimore Comic Con in a couple of months, Sept 8-10! This is always a favorite convention of mine, and this year I’m especially excited. Why? Because an anthology I contributed to is up for a Ringo Award for best anthology!
I would love it if you guys (pros at the moment, fans in a few weeks) would vote for Cthulhu Invades Wonderland for Best Anthology.
I also want to shout out my buddies Jarred Lujan and Kyler Clodfelter for their nomination for Best Humor Comic with Crash & Troy (which is a FANTASTIC book, check it out and vote for them too)!
Got to get back to the grind of both the day job and of comics, so I’ll talk to you guys later. Again, if you haven’t yet, please check out the Rook & Knight Kickstarter!
Thanks!

Thanks for another great newsletter! I know a lot of crowdfunding campaigns that suffered because of shenanigans at Twitter. I’m pulling for Rook & Knight #1! Congrats on your Ringo nomination!! 🎉
