The Pantheon Project #2 - On Track for Denver Comic Con!

Update #25 · May 17, 2013 · comment

Hi everyone!

Thank you once more for supporting The Pantheon Project #1. It was a labor of love and such an incredible experience producing my first comic book. The feedback has been great and we're having a blast working on the second installment.

If you liked our debut issue and want to stay informed, please "Like" our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ThePantheonProject) and keep your eyes peeled for updates!

Why Another Kickstarter?

Glad you asked!

When it comes to producing The Pantheon Project #2, we wanted to show all potential publishers that the first issue wasn't a one-off. We have a story to tell and here's the next installment to prove it. I didn't want to risk losing the artists to other projects since they are the special ingredients that make this whole thing work!

The Pantheon Project #1 is on the shelf at Time Warp Comics in Boulder, CO and is currently available via Emanata for Apple iOS devices. We submitted The Pantheon Project to a ton of publishers and our submission to comiXology (the world's largest cloud-based digital comics platform) is still pending.

What am I asking for?

If you're receiving this update then you've already been a massive help. We're not asking for you to pledge any more money - just hoping you will spread the word about our current campaign for The Pantheon Project #2! We're on track to for it's debut at Denver Comic Con (March 31st - June 2nd). If you could share these links with your friends and family it would be GREATLY appreciated! 


Thanks for your continuing support!

Announcing the start of our Kickstarter campaign for The Pantheon Project #2!

Happy Holidays, Everyone! Sneak Peak At #2!!

Update #23 · Dec 29, 2012 · comment

Hello!

I hope everyone is enjoying their respective holidays! I know I did. When I returned from my travels today I saw that I received some packages containing the rest of the Kickstarter rewards that were promised. For those of you who selected the schwag bag and individually numbered Limited Edition copies, they are in hand! I will be packaging them up and shipping them to you next week. 

I thank all of you for your support and can't express enough how much it means to me. I guess the only thing I can do for now is share the inks for the first page of the 2nd issue:

The Pantheon Project #1 - Printing!

Update #21 · Sep 12, 2012 · 3 comments

Hello everyone,

I have some great news: The Pantheon Project #1 has been sent to the printers! We are working with Readycomics.com and we will have the physical issue in hand by the end of the week. I’m currently coordinating with members of the creative team and hope to have the issue shipped out to our backers who selected it as their incentive.

It’s been a great experience working on this comic and collaborating with the incredibly talented Leila, Kevin, Rus and Kit! I’m looking forward to creating more Pantheon Project in the future! I’m including an exclusive sneak peak of The Pantheon Project #2‘s cover art by Leila. CHECK IT OUT!

So of course with good news there’s also a little bad. I will be out of the country for the remainder of the month and will not get some of the Kickstarter incentives out in the time frame I promised (I’m looking at you, schwag bag). Rest assured when I return it will get top priority.

This comic book project wouldn’t have been possible without your support! Thank you!

- Erik

    The series will run six issues and we're creating a major antagonist that will appear in issue #3. However, the character will be profiled in the first issue's supplemental material. Ever wanted to be a bad guy/girl? While you won't appear in story for a little while, you will get a complete artistic makeover and included in the first issue's "coming attractions" section. We design the character, give him/her YOUR name and make it look like YOU! Cool, huh?
