All Digital Rewards Have Been Sent (...well almost) plus Nightmare Theater and Monster Matador!
over 2 years ago – Fri, Nov 05, 2021 at 08:57:14 AM

Hey There!

Bummed Halloween is over? Me too. But don't worry, we're gonna keep the Frightfest careening straight through November.

I just sent out all of the Turner Family Terrors #2 digital rewards via Kickstarter messages. You should have received an email with links to your rewards. If you did not, simply log into your Kickstarter account, and click the link in your messages inbox. If you are still having issues, please message me and I'll get on the case.

I did write that we were 'almost' finished with fulfillment and that's because we have two final items to check off our list. Our top tier backers have a couple of goodies still headed their way. One is our behind-the-scenes pdf, and the other is the second TFT Video Short - this time chronicling the process of making Turner Family Terrors Issue #2. 

I pretty much hit my deadlines for all other Kickstarter Rewards, but for these last two I'm gonna need an extra month. A crazy thing happened while we were in production on TFT #2 - our world was hit with this god forsaken pandemic. I'm gonna take a few weeks, go through my emails, and reflect on the crazy journey Serbian artist Ske Bozic and I were experiencing from two opposite corners of the globe. Thanks for your patience on these last two rewards. (And don't worry, as a I take serious look back, I'll try not to stray too far from the dick jokes and f-bombs you've become accustom to in our sweet little comic.)

Friends Of TFT Everyone Should Back!

Creator Steven Prince is one cool dude, and a big time supporter of indie comics and their creators. He's at around 70% funded right now,  so head on over and help him get MONSTER MATADOR: AFRIPOCALYPSE over the finish line!

MONSTER MATADOR: AFRIPOCALYPSE is a brand new monster-fighting adventure from the team that brought you MONSTER MATADOR: TANGO OF THE MATADORS – writer Steven Prince, Ringo-Award nominated artist Fabio Alves (THE JUMP, BANJAX), and colorist Alex Zief (CULT OF DRACULA).

This perfect bound 64-page action packed one-shot finds the Matador joined by a group of international Kaiju Killers to take on an ancient evil that threatens to unleash a zombie plague on the world. This issue is Steven's love letter to the movie Predator, where he illustrates other Comic creators (like Rylend Grant and David Schrader) into the monster slaying madness. I can't wait to read it.

-------------

And I'll be pimping this next one all month long! - it's Nightmare Theater 2: The Revenge - featuring a Turner Family Terrors short. I was a fan and backer of the first installment, and I'm more than thrilled to be included in the sequel. Here's our blurb from the campaign's page:

"Robert Krisch, Aleksandar Bozic Ske, and Nicole D’Andria bring their deliciously dark Turner Family Terrors to the suburbs for some haunted house hunting in GOOD BONES" The campaign just nabbed a 'Project We Love' tag from Kickstarter and the sinister Stretch Goal campaign has begun. Get in on the fun! Here's a panel from our contribution to the Anthology, and as always our short story is completely inappropriate and more than a tad weird. Who the hell is this guy?

Here are a few covers to choose from:

 At 125+ pages, it’s a fresh film festival of souls presented by the horror hostess with the mostess, Shelley Poe Stoker, and her malevolent minions, The Welder and Eerie Erin.

Settle into your seats... it‘s going to be a real horror show.

Until next time!

Nightmare Theater is back! and TFT has crashed the party.

Happy Halloween!

I'm thrilled to have a short comic of mine in the latest horror anthology Nightmare Theater 2: The Revenge! - Live on Kickstarter.  I was a fan and backer of the first volume and when I heard Clay Adams and David Schrader were back for more, I was all over that.

 Once again I've teamed up with artist Serbian phenom Aleksandar Bozic Ske and editor Nicole D'Andria to whip up a six-page short of Turner Family Terrors mischief. Early Bird discounts last two more hours, so head on over and support all these talented indie creators. Right now you can grab book two (125+ pages) for $20. And if your missed Volume 1, you can purchase both volumes for $50 - that's over 400 pages of horror! Just an insane value. 

Here's some more info from the page:

NIGHTMARE THEATER 2 is a 125+ page trade paperback anthology collecting horror stories by some of the best in indie comics.

Do you like scary movies?

Twenty amazing comic teams come together to present an all-new collection of spine-tingling terror and horror movie-inspired gore. Writers include Rich Douek (Road of Bones, Sea of Sorrows), Malissa White (Nightmare Reloaded), Shawn Gabborin (Puppet Master, Let’s All Die!), Kat Calamia (Like Father, Like Daughter), Dave Dwonch (Prom of the Dead), Richard Fairgray (Black Sand Beach, Blastosaurus), James Powell (House of Fear), M.L. Miller (Gravetrancers),  Robert Krisch (Turner Family Terrors), Rob Multari (Night Wolf), Phil Falco (Haunting),  Clay Adams (Red Xmas, Deadskins!), & D.E.

And featuring artists Emanuele Taglietti, Alex Cormack, Bryan Silverbax, Michael Calero,  Kenan Halilovic, Mick Beyers, Don Cardenas, George Quadros, Jorge Torres, Val Halvorsen, Sonya Kinsey...

Physical rewards are headed your way!

Hey There-

Quick Update:

The comics are in and they look sweet.

My daughter and I started boxing up the Gemini mailers and the first shipment went out today. The goal is to get everything out the door over the next two weeks so it arrives in your lap by Halloween.

The Deluxe Digital version of TFT #2 will also lock in two weeks. Woohoo.

That just leaves our behind the scenes pdf and our second 'Making of' Documentary short. I'll be focusing on those the first 2 weeks on November, and fulfillment will be complete. (at least thats the plan)

It's all happening people. Keep an eye out for your books.

Proofs are in! Locking orders in 2 weeks...
over 2 years ago – Sun, Sep 12, 2021 at 03:03:14 PM

Hey Friends!

Got some cool news - the first round of proofs are in!

Amazing to finally have these bad boys in my hands. But I did say the "first round of proofs" because... we are making this issue even better.  The interiors looked perfect but our covers needed some tweaking - we're gonna crush the blacks a little to make the visuals pop even more.  And to be fully transparent I did misspell one word in the book - "Vodyanoy".  I forgot a y, but I'm not beating myself up too much - that's a tricky one. But I caught it and fixed it.  New proofs are in the mail. I should get those this coming week. Ordering two sets of proofs might slow us down a week or two but I'm still anticipating getting these in your hands by October.

That's a lock!

Once I get the books I'll need to lock all orders through BackerKit. We still have 23 backers that need to fill out their BackerKit surveys and confirm their addresses. Check your inbox/spam folder for the BackerKit email or visit https://turner-family-terrors-1-2.backerkit.com/ to access your survey.

Fulfillment Timeline Update:

• After the books are shipped we'll complete our final formatting of "TFT #2: Welcome to Roswell" Deluxe Digital Edition, and send that out the following week. 
• Once physical/digital rewards are shipped I will be transitioning to the behind-the-scenes pdf and our second "making of" documentary short.  Much more on those to come.

Other cool news bits and bobs.

All 24 pages of interior artwork for the next issue of Turner Family Terrors #3 is complete, by the amazing Ske Bozic! And Easton Hawk is hard at work on the cover as I write this. I'm also 80% done with the script for issue #4, the final issue of this first story arc.  Fun times.

That's it for now...I'm off to my daughter's soccer game... first one in 20 months... can't wait.

More Digital Rewards are here! Please fill out your BackerKit surveys.
over 2 years ago – Sun, Aug 08, 2021 at 11:27:43 PM

Hey!

More Digital Rewards are here!

Thanks so much for supporting Turner Family Terrors! Our first big wave of Digital Rewards was sent out last weekend via a direct Kickstarter email message.  Make sure to check your in box. 

I'm really excited about these.  They include a ton of Indie Bonus Comics, an exclusive Kickstarter link to my award winning horror short film The Crows of Culver, a kid-friendly coloring book pdf, and the TFT#1 pdf.  In September/October we will have our second wave of digital rewards once issue #2 is complete.

BackerKit, yay!

Our BackerKit surveys are out and after two weeks 82% of our supporters have completed them.  Thank you!  If you have not, please take a second to check your inbox and complete the BackerKit survey.  You can also click this link to find your survey.   https://turner-family-terrors-1-2.backerkit.com/

You don't have to create an account.  Just click through the few steps to confirm your order and you'll be done.  Then I will have all the info needed to create the 'Special Thanks' page and ship everything out. Woohoo. 

 And if you're looking for a project to back now, I've got two for you!

My buddy Alyson Shelton is back with "Reburn #2".  Included in the Indie Comics Bundle I sent you last weekend, was a preview copy of "Reburn #1".  Have a read, then head over to Alyson's campaign and support this awesome book brought to you by an all female creative team. Colorist Hilary Jenkins joined the group for issue #2 and from what I've seen so far, she is a total badass.  I grabbed her Variant and I can't wait to see her colors in this Issue #2.

And my fellow Comixlaunchers Oneshi Press are killing it with Pack #1-3.  Kickstarter gave them a 'Project We Love' Tag because they, well... love them! And I do to! So lets support their campaign, get that baby over the finish line, and help make their passion project come to life.

I hope your summer is rocking!  Stay safe out there. And fill out those surveys.
