What's Happening with ComixTribe This Month
SINK will be your Valentine, EPIC Vol 1 in stock, sneak peek at OXYMORON, and more!
February is here and things are starting to heat up over here. Historically, January is a slow month for the ‘Tribe, as we tend to avoid launching new stuff during the first few weeks of the year. However, February has always been a big month for us, and 2024 should be no different!
Here’s What’s Coming! ComixTribe Project Updates, Teasers and More
SINK: Monsters Launches on Kickstarter on Valentine’s Day!
For the second year in a row, we’re launching a new SINK book on February 14th, for all the lovers of crime horror comics out there. SINK is ComixTribe’s most prolific series, with the most rabid fanbase, and this double-feature launch, should turn heads.
Once again, we’ll be leaning into the day, offering:
DAY ONE BACKER BONUSES
VANISHING VALENTINE’S DAY REWARDS
EARLY BACKER PRICING
As a way to reward long-time and returning fans and to help get the new launch off to as great a start as possible.
While every book we launch is a labor of love, this one in particular means a lot to writer John Lees. “For about as long as I’ve wanted to be a writer, since I was a kid, my Gran has said that her dream was for me to write a book about her life and about her childhood,” says Lees.
“This story, albeit one filtered through some vampiric genre trappings, is likely about the closest I’m ever going to get to making my Gran’s dream a reality.”
If you want to score those DAY ONE Bonuses and be a part of the next chapter of the SINK saga, we encourage our fans to jump on the SINK: Monsters PreLaunch Notification List.
EPIC: Volume 1 Trades Now In Stock!
The feeling of seeing all of the hard work you and your team has put into creating comics come together in the form of a box of printed graphic novels really can’t be beat and never gets old!
And honestly, for a long time, I thought this book would never come to be. But thanks to the hard work of artist Matt Zolman in resurrecting EPIC and the support of over 400 backers over on Kickstarter last year, this amazing collection now exists and is IN STOCK over at the ComixTribe Shop.
The last of the Kickstarter rewards went out the door today, and now the team has its sights set up more EPIC launching later this year. I was actually lettering up some new EPIC pages this week in fact…
This next issue is going to continue to crank that action, humor, heart and hilarity up another notch.
And readers can also read a Webtoon’s adaptation of EPIC that is updating weekly on that platform.
10 Years of C is for Cthulhu and Plush Toy Insanity Will Take Over in March!
Perhaps our biggest launch of the year will be going down in March, with the next C is for Cthulhu Kickstarter, which has a shot to be our biggest launch ever. Not only are we planning on launching a giant-sized, expanded and remastered version of the Lovecraft Alphabet Book that started it all…
We’re also adding THREE more new Plush Toys to the C is for Cthulhu family.
And we’ll also be offering a limited edition, SHINY SILVER version of our classic C is for Cthulhu Plush during this campaign!
Hard to believe it’s been a decade since Jason Ciaramella, Greg Murphy and I decided to take a chance on publishing a quirky little children’s book full of eldritch monstrosities. I would have never imagined it would have taken off the way it has… but these launches are highlight of the year for me.
Here’s a link to the prelaunch page if you’re interested in adding Cthulhu and friends to your world this year.
Oxymoron: Killing Time… and Breaking Hearts?
Pages continue to also slowly trickle in for OXYMORON: Killing Time, the long awaited return of The Red Ten’s contradiction obsessed killer, in a glorious anthology. The best part about anthologies is the opportunity to work with so many different creators, and seeing them take a crack at the character.
I just received some new pages from Peter Taylor, a talented artist and the creator of Pioneers: Blood & Stars, and I’m really loving what he’s bringing to the book. This volume is certainly hideously beautiful, and the story just might break your heart… before it tears it out of course!
Hopefully we’ll be able to share a launch date for this one with you soon.
