Happy Weekend, folks!!

Apologies if you have seen this, but just in case you haven't - I'm so excited!!! The time has come to show you the first look at our new and most ambitious Kickstarter campaign ever that launches August 28 on my birthday!

It's for our other "elves" of fantasy in NIOBE & DURA: Wrath of the Ancient #1 + THE UNTAMED: Still a Fool #2 (and #1 if you missed it) and issue #2 and MORKA MOA #1 AND #2!

I am thrilled to finally share with you what we have worked so hard to put together for you!!! Thank you for taking the time to look and for the love and support! (Please note, we will continue to work on the page over the coming weeks so keep checking back in). :) ALSO for fans of RUINING CHRISTMAS, we maybe announcing soon artist Eli Hix's involvement in our fantasy world of Asunda!

HIT THE CAMPAIGN LINK HERE TO SEE THE PAGE (where you can hit the REMIND ME button).

You can also HIT THE NOTIFY ME LINK HERE.

There's just so much to share with you our most ambitious campaign to date! The Niobe & Dura tale, set in Asunda, is about NIOBE, our young Hal-Elven hero's time with the great Shaman Dura Ujella (and they are fleeing the dreaded VASTAR – Lord of the Undead, Dura’s own brother).

Dura and Vastar are world creators so in this campaign you will learn about the birth of Asunda!

Here's a sneak peek of some covers and pages. 

The rest you can check out on the page :) Including our launch party where you can get a copy of this for FREE! To go along with your E.W.A and STOCKONIA HIP HOP HOMAGES!

Thanks so much for taking the time to look! 

Much love!

Hey Ruining Christmas family!

Hope all is good! Still waiting on a couple of your surveys to be complete :) But most of you are rocking!! I really appreciate all the kind words from messages that have come through. Means the world to us all!! You never know when you are in the lab tinkering, so it has been wonderful to connect with you guys! Especially since RUINING CHRISTMAS is a big departure for what we are known for lol!

If you are not familiar with what Stranger Comics is most celebrated franchise, please allow me to introduce you to Niobe's fantasy world of Asunda! - A world that has been with me, getting nurtured and developed for 30 years, and for Darrell and Josh, some 20 odd years too. (Asunda is currently in development at HBO). 

Niobe, our warrior half-elven queen returns to what is our most ambitious and awesome campaign yet! If you have never read a Niobe book, all of our stories will be available! 

For returning folks, new tales that will tie so many of the threads together including the continuation of THE UNTAMED where Niobe meets her brother WASO for the first time! PLUS our latest, NIOBE & DURA: Wrath of the Ancient #1 tale – here Niobe is on the run with shaman Dura, from the first undead, Vastar! Both Dura and Vastar will move heaven and hell to make her their champion.

I am just excited to share this with you!

DROP DATE: AUGUST 28 at 10:00am. It’ll be at Summer StrangerCon online where you are all invited. Link next week, when I will also share the campaign page so you can start to see what magic we have conjured with an array of the most incredible artists and talent from David Mack, Jae Lee to our O.Gs Peter Bergting, Sheldon Mitchell, and Hyoung and so many more!

For now, please HIT THE NOTIFY ME BUTTON here… and get ready! As a sneak peek, here is one of the magical covers we have, by newcomer Talia Skyles!

Hey Ruining Christmas family!

A quick note to say, the entire team have been signing, and now the printed comics are on their way! So excited to get these books into your hands. Thanks so much for your patience! One quick note, for folks that got the sketch blanks, the printer made an error by printing the covers on the back (so we have official error sketch blanks lol). The replacements are already on their way so they will be out very soon too.

Thanks so much!

Seb

P.S Please don’t miss out on what we have cooking at Stranger Comics. Big book and screen announcements are coming soon, so please subscribe to our website to stay in touch, to get first looks at not only our new comics and books, but other exciting opportunities you can be a part of!
