Well - First Contracts Signed

Update #1 · Apr 29, 2012 · comment

This is one of those times where taking the risk is worth it, while we have two backers now, we have 25 days to go, and have a long way to go in terms of getting this project off the ground and into the black. But I think and believe that this will happen, so we met up with Justin Zimmerman in Portland yesterday to sign the contracts for Comics Forge Presents Number 1, and turned over every dime that was due to him. That was a fun check to write, and awesome for Justin.

He does the Killing Jar and Otherworlds, both of which are awesome independent comic books. He is letting us use three of the stories from Otherworlds for our inaugural edition of Comics Forge Presents. 

This is enough money for him to work on another project, pay an artist for the cover art (where he gets to keep the original art), and the cover by the way is going to be awesome. From what we have agreed to, this will be fantastic. I can't wait to post up the sketch and then the final cover for this.

We are also getting ready to pay for our second edition of the series to a wonderful artist down in Florida who is truly deserving of attention. She is one of the most amazing independent artists that I have met in a long time.

That is our update for right now, if you want to spread the word on this one that would be awesome. We can really use the help as the project seems to have stalled. Share and share alike, life is wonderful and thank you for all the support we have gotten to date.
