Just what do you think you are up to, huh?

Who us? Well, all sorts of stuff really…some of it was even innocent.

Innocent for us that is. I mean, just look at these three mugs. It’s a pretty safe bet they’re up to no good.

Alex and Josh appear stoic. One snarky comment could turn this car around and send them home. Or worse. Cleveland.

Hanging in New Haven

Most recently, some of you may have encountered our foolishness at Indie Creators Con in New Haven, CT. It was an amazing show with tons of fantastic indie talent. Don’t worry, if you missed it, we’re sure they will do it again.

What about that Anthology you’ve promised us?

Don’t worry, We Suck At Comics, Volume Two is on the way! We are just sanding down a few rough patches and sewing the whole thing up right now. We’ve got almost all the assets we need to put the book together and will have a few special announcements coming out soon.

We probably shouldn’t be trusted with power tools…

In the meantime, have you followed the Kickstarter page yet? What? You haven’t?!?!?!?!? Why not?

Well, you ought to fix that then! Just head on over to the We Suck at Comics: Volume 2 Kickstarter.

Still haven’t gotten Volume 1?

Well, we can fix that too! We still have a few copies left, but supplies are going fast. You’ll find 17 different stories from 17 different teams and 288 pages of creative goodness as soon as you open the cover!

Stay tuned!

That’s it for now, but keep your eyes peeled ‘cause we’ve got some cool stuff coming your way soon!

Don’t forget to treat yourself!

What has been happening with Wayward Raven Media in October?

October has been an adventure!

Wow, October has been a busy month for these rogue birds!

We had a very successful New York Comic Con (NYCC) where we launched Lux Prismatica, got to catch up with a ton of old friends and welcomed a new place on the show floor!

Our schedule even tires our friends out! Don’t worry Jeff, we wouldn’t dare take funny pictures of you if you fall asleep at our booth…

What else is new this October?

And then we went ahead and launched a Kickstarter campaign two weeks later! Clearly, we either love this stuff or are gluttons for punishment (hint: it is the first one).

As of writing, We Suck at Comics is:

• 80% funded

• Was selected as a Project We Love by the Kickstarter Staff

• Has over 100 backers

It has been such a successful October that we hated to see it leave! But depart it must. Fear not though, kind supporters for November holds much promise.

What about November?

Next month we will be at Rhode Island Comic Con from 11/4 -11/6. We have a spot on the convention show floor, booth 220. But what are we bringing with us to RICC? We’re glad you asked!

For starters, since our Kickstarter will still be going on until the 17th of the month, we will be offering on-the-spot rewards! Anyone who pledges at our booth will receive immediate gratification in the form of either comics or artwork!

If you’ve ever met us at a convention, you know that Mark always brings his super secret homebrews. This year he has something completely new - homemade hot sauce! 

Goes great with everything! Chicken, pork, cereal…whatever, don’t judge us.

Mark made several varieties that he will give away for free with purchase.

They include:

• Bourbon, brown sugar habanero 

• Raspberry habanero

• Pineapple halepeno/fresno/pablano

• Halepeno/pablano

One more thing…

And finally, we have added some new rewards to our ongoing KS campaign. We are humbled that so many of the limited Wayward Raven packages have been snatched up (currently only 8 left!) that we decided to add three new reward tiers. They include The Ascendant and Damn Heroes books. 

Let’s smash that Kickstarter goal!

Since we are so close to hitting goal, we will be announcing our stretch goals soon. Keep an eye out for more updates!

Thank you all so much for making this an amazing October! We truly appreciate you all and your contribution to making us successful!

We are now funded. Thank you for your support!

You may have seen that The Ascendant #4 campaign is now closed. We would like to take a moment to thank you all so much for your generous support. We are successful entirely due to all of you! Thank you so much!

We would like to take a brief moment to share a rough timeline on fulfillment. Kickstarter has probably taken your funds by now. They will be transferred to us in approximately 14 days. Once that occurs, we will be working with our printer to create the best possible products for you. We expect to have your rewards to you by early 2021. 

Additionally, we ask you to keep your eyes open for a survey, especially those of you who preordered issue 5. We will be inquiring about how you prefer to receive your rewards.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Best,

The Wayward Raven Crew
