About this project
SWEETS is a 5 issue full color miniseries by writer and artist Kody Chamberlain. This comic is being published by Image Comics with an estimated release date of July 14, 2010.
A spree killer terrorizes New Orleans days before Hurricane Katrina makes landfall. Detective Curt Delatte just buried his only daughter, he’s in no condition to work. But when the bodies pile up, he masks his grief and joins the hunt through the bowels of the Big Easy. It won’t be long until his city, and his evidence, gets washed away.
CHAMBERLAIN, a native of South Louisiana, makes his writing debut with this dark and gritty miniseries.
All contributions made to this Kickstarter.com project will be used to fund printing and promotional efforts like posters, flyers, tradeshow displays, trade show travel expenses, shipping, print and web advertising, and preview books (ashcans) that are sent out to the media for review.
