Hello All,
Hope everyone is well. I wanted to do a quick check in, to let you know we have a new book on the horizons - First Place Losers:
Once mech racing’s fastest rising star, disgraced ex-con Jacco Jang, must once again prove himself in the sport. Now as a coach to a young naive pilot, he must prove to his family and the world, that he’s worthy of redemption.
Super excited for this one, and working with an incredible team - co-written with Flobo Boyce, Max Davenport on art, Ed Ryzowski on colors, Andriy Lukin on design, and Rob Jones on letters.
Plenty of high octane action, twists, and gorgeous art. Our plan is to launch come mid-July. Hope you'll join us! Click the link below for pre-launch, and we'll see you there:

Have a great rest of your week!

Hi Gang,
We are in our final week of the Rum Row Kickstarter! If you were considering backing, now is the time! We have already unlocked two stretch goals - an interview with an actual hot air balloon pilot, and 4 Rum Row themed tarot cards. Here's a sample for you to check out:
We're only $2,000 away from unlocking the next stretch goal of the 5 page Rum Row short, by wraparound cover artist Sam Lotfi, and writer Russell Nohelty. Issue #4 is nearing the 50 page mark! Here's some of my favorite panels.
Thanks again for taking the time to check us out, and have a great rest of your week!
Best,
Team Rum Row

Our First Arc is Complete!

Hi All,
Our campaign for reprinting issue #1, and printing issue #2 was one of our toughest campaigns to date. It was a whirlwind, down to the last hour. But thanks to all of you, we did it! That allowed us to move onto issue #3, and until recently, was our biggest Kickstarter funding goal to date. It's that type of faith in us that makes creating indie comics so rewarding. You're part of the team, and make all of this possible.
I realize the slow production schedule could be a bit discouraging at times. But I assure you, the story arc is complete! Issue #4 is done!
The final issue will be coming in at a whopping 40 pages, with 36 full colored story pages and some bonus back matter. In addition, we'll be having a beautiful wrap around cover courtesy of Sam Lotfi, and an awesome collectors box to store your issues on the shelf. So if you wanted to pick up the rest of the series, now is the perfect time. Here's a few images:
Check out some amazing interior pages as well. Gavin really went all out!
If you think this might be your cup of tea, definitely click the link.
This will alert you to when the project goes live on Tuesday 5/3. We are eternally grateful for your support. We look forward to finishing out this story with a bang. Hope to see you soon!
Best,
Team Rum Row
P.S. - If you're a repeated backer, and are getting multiple updates currently, we appreciate your patience! As an avid Kickstarter backer myself, I often experience the same thing. But with indie comics, every backer counts. And getting the word out anyway we can is vital. I promise the end result will be worth it. Thanks for hanging in there!
