Kick ALL the Starters Part II

[Mamorien]

It's in its final days, but I only just backed it, so I'm only just getting around to sharing it. Sorry. Anyway, here's Wonderwall the latest from the maniac what brung ya Deep Fried and Weapon Brown.

(Image desc: Space. We can see Sol in the distance between Earth, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, and what's probably the Moon. The eastern portion of North America is still mostly in night, so from the New Jersey border westward, we can see the golden lights of a great many cities. The Moon is also covered with urban light, as well as one group of hexagonal light-lines.
"In the not-too-far-distant future, humanity has taken to the stars and joined the brotherhood of prosperous, peace-loving worlds that constitute the galactic alliance known as U-Fed.
"Having put aside war and prejudice, mankind is fueled by grit and compassion in equal measure, and all the treasures of outer space are yours for the taking as long as you play by the rules--
"--and as long as you don't try to change the rules.")

This is the future of Kobayashi Maru, an action parody of Star Trek (as well as other sci-fi standouts) that I would like to pitch to major publishers early next year.

I created and published the first issue of Kobayashi Maru several years ago (the "pilot", if you will), and then put it on hold to pursue other projects. Now I would like to bring the project back to life! In order to follow that dream, I need to pay for the artistic talent that I want to bring on board to supplement my own artwork and turn Kobayashi Maru into a project that will really stand out in a crowd. And you can help bring this project to life by funding the Kobayashi Maru: Source Code sketchbook!

Source Code will contain character profiles, development art and  nuggets of story info that will introduce you to the world I am building... including background information that will only be disclosed later in the series but that you will be the first to learn!

If this Kickstarter is successful, I will be able to hire the artists I want to assist me on this project and create a set of completed pages to display in a second Kickstarter that will fund the completion of a new, revised first issue of Kobayashi Maru, From there it will be sent off to Dark Horse Comics, Image Comics... anyone insane enough to open my envelope! (Or, if things go REALLY well, I may just publish Kobayashi Maru as a graphic novel on my own! Who knows??)

If you are a fan of science fiction and would enjoy an original comic book series with a skewed take on Star Trek--the series and its fandom-- with touches of Quentin Tarantino, Philip K. Dick and Rick and Morty thrown in for good measure, I hope you will choose to get in on the ground floor of Kobayashi Maru and Kickstart Source Code,  an exciting, limited edition one-off that will not be printed again!

P.S. Due to the vagaries of campaign add-ons, I will have (once my rewards ship, currently estimated for December) a duplicate copy of Yungbluth's cheesecake art-book Feast for the Eyes. If anyone's accidentally interested, please call or write this station.
