About this project
ICARUS follows U.S.M.C. Major Robert Riley on his exploits to track and assassinate all super-powered beings on Earth. Things aren’t all that they seem in Riley’s world: Girls that can see the future, alien invasions and government conspiracies all play a part in this twisting and turning adventure. When Big Brother decides to put its foot down, Riley is there to chop it off.

http://super75comics.wordpress.com/free-icarus-primer/The goal of this Kickstarter is to provide me with the opportunity to produce a 4-issue miniseries. I write, illustrate and letter every page. The funds from this campaign will allow me to work on the book full-time, for 4 months. At the end of the four months a trade will be produced that will be priced at $12 or less. So, if I am given the opportunity to make the mini series, the reader can choose to read the four issues for only $4, or get the digital issues and buy the trade at the end for roughly just $16.
For every $2000 I am lucky enough to go over my minimum pledge amount, I will continue to produce an issue, every month. $1 monthly digital comics can work, let's give this experiment the chance to make it work. There are no zero reward contributions on this drive, for the minimum amount of only $4, you receive a digital subscription for all 4 issues of the mini-series.
