Thanks to all of you backers, the first issue of Cayrels Ring was a big success. Now its time to continue to grow the ring galaxy known as...CAYRELS RING.
Going forward with the series will be Alchemichael on art duties with Cassie Kelly continuing to lend her colours to the pages. With this team we plan on telling many stories of people living in Cayrels Ring, some of those affected by the events and people featured in issue 1.
With the first issue of Cayrels Ring, we told a self contained story, an epic tale but it was only the beginning. Each subsequent issue of the series will feature 3 short stories, each featuring a different person's experiences and trials while inhabiting this far away galaxy.
Issue 2 is called Epic Problem. Here's a synopsis of the three stories featured within.
Story 1. The story of low grade bounty hunter, Varlo Das. We saw him briefly in the cantina on Kui-Xing in Chapter 5 of issue 1 and that's him in the 5 pages of his story below.
Das's bounties are colony deserters, those who sign up to colonize a new planet and then abscond when the going gets tough. These are bounties that other Hunters avoid and frown upon, but not this man. Das, shuttle-less, travels around the galaxy using the equivalent of a interstellar Greyhound bus.
We follow Das on a routine job that derails.
Story 2. Ramy Hezal works in a Spore manufacturing plant on Movi Ilan, or at least he did. Hezal relates his story of dismissal to an unlucky fellow bar patron.
Story 3. Daito Renda lives on small island on the planet M’Konist with Arala, his 8-year-old daughter. One morning Daito receives an email from the Namuvin Mining Corp stating that they’ve found the frozen body of his wife. His wife died shortly after their daughter was born while working on the mining moon of Tungl Jo.
With the collapse of Aulendil IV into a small black hole 15 years ago, the moons orbit shifted slightly, causing ice to melt, leading to the discovery of her body. Renda travels with his reluctant daughter to claim his beloved wife's body and is given an exceptional opportunity, one that Arala strongly disagrees with.
Check out the first 5 pages of issue 2 below, featuring Varlo Das.

Risks and challenges
This will be my third Kickstarter. My previous two were delivered ahead of time and were of stellar quality.
That being said, delays can happen, especially when it comes to printing. I will be communicating with all backers very frequently and will be transparent with the process.
Know this, you will get your issue of Cayrels Ring!
