The Skyrocket is an independent comic book by writer Mike Federali and artist Osmar Petroli. It's a science fiction action adventure you can't miss.
What we want.....well, we really just want to keep making the comic book for as long as we can. We love the characters and are building a small following, but it's hard to make a comic book in our spare time.
We've already printed two issues so we've got the 'How To" part covered. Mike writes it here in the Good Ol' United States and Osmar draws it in the Good Ol' Argentina. It's truly an international meeting of the minds to get The Skyrocket made each issue. We aren't the best bloggers, but we've started a site http://www.theskyrocket.com
The money would go to cover the cost of artwork and printing and a little bit of advertising to help us pick up new fans and readers. Anything over our goal would just go for more comic related stuff like posters, collected trades, and maybe...just maybe, a plane ticket to get Osmar into the United States for a comic book convention!

Sure, by day you are a just a regular joe (or jill), but in our universe YOU can be a criminal mastermind, a 6-armed ninja, or a giant half-person/half-buffalo.
