New Stretch Goal for RIOT EARP with 3 days to go
almost 2 years ago
– Mon, May 16, 2022 at 08:54:24 AM
We're at 115 backers with 3 days to go. If we reach 150 backers, then everyone who orders the two pinups (either as an add-on or part of a package) will get a third BONUS pinup, the one of Earp and Peg that you can see below. So spread the word and bring in more backers, or get ready to add pinups to your pledge. You won't be sorry!
Also, if we break the $4,000 mark I will have a sweepstakes with two prizes. First prize will be this one of a kind 16 x 20 giclee of the Earp and Peg print, a $100 value. The drawing will be random, so get your friends to back the book too and ask them to give you the prize if they win! Second prize will be a $25 gift card. Not as cool, but one lucky winner may wind up actually making money by backing the project!
RIOT EARP - Five Days to Go!

Just five more days for this RIOT EARP campaign. We are closing in on 200% and the Kickstarter algorithms always seem to kick in the last few days. Anything you can do to help would be great to push us over that goal as far as possible, since every cent in profit goes toward future RIOT EARP issues.
Go for some add-ons, or spread the word every time the book shows up in your social media of choice!
The book is almost complete, we've got 64 pages plus covers, so you'll be getting your money's worth. And there are no ads (except for a next issue preview), so shipping should be about half of what we originally expected. I anticipate sending the books out the first or second week of June.
There will be no resting on our laurels. Based on the expectation that you will like RIOT EARP, the last week of June I intend to launch the Kickstarter for RIOT EARP #2. This one will feature sanctioned "guest appearances" by the stars of PSYCH : Dule Hill and James Roday Rodriguez! So stay tuned, and make sure to sign up for notification of the launch. We're going to have a very cool raffle for those people who do.
Finally, some recommendations:
Check out Fa Sheng: Origins, a kung fu comic by a couple of good guys I met last year.

These dudes have been doing this for a while, so you know it's gonna be good.
And there's only 6 days left forID-10T error Issues 1 & 2. In case you haven't checked the project out, please take a look:

We are doing great, but we can do a lot better. So I am offering an EXCLUSIVE giclee add-on, this beautiful 16 x 20 print you can hang on your wall. Supplies are limited at 20, so act fast!
And if you are looking for other sci fi projects to back, you only have a few hours left to back MICROSCOPIC, a 32-page sci-fi adventure by Keith Champagne and Raffaele Forte continuing an adventure originally published in the pages of Heavy Metal magazine.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/newpain/microscopic?ref=discovery&term=microscopic
There is less than a week to back MEGA CITY BLUES, a futuristic horror one-shot with some adult themes. Check out the page for the excellent art and risque covers.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1554587142/mega-city-blues-an-ode-to-old-horror-anime-ova?ref=discovery&term=mega%20city%20blues
And don't forget to check out ID-10T Error by Matt McGrath (a helpful RIOT EARP supporter in his own right) and Otávio Colino. It's issue 2 of a 3-issue miniseries of oversized comics, each at 36 pages. Catch up with issue 1 and get ready for the upcoming issue 3.

The story is clever and humorous and the artwork is crisp and colorful. Quality stuff.

I was on Keeping It Geekly's podcast. You can check it out on YouTube here (although I'm embarrassed at the number of times I said "You know"):

Cody from Keeping It Geekly had nice things to say about the comic: "Katz's ability to blend early 80's action with a modern approach to the future is only amplified by the amazing pencils and inks of Fred Benes. Riot Earp #1 is a well-balanced blend of action, sex, and much more!"
I'll be on Not Near Mint's YouTube channel next Wednesday at 10, so stay tuned for details.
For all you sci fi fans looking for other projects, you have just a couple days left to back Microscopic, a 32-page sci-fi adventure by Keith Champagne and Raffaele Forte continuing an adventure originally published in the pages of Heavy Metal magazine.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/newpain/microscopic?ref=discovery&term=microscopic
And then there is another worthy project, ID-10T Error by Matt McGrath (a helpful RIOT EARP supporter in his own right) and Otávio Colino. It's issue 2 of a 3-issue miniseries of oversized comics, each at 36 pages. Catch up with issue 1 and get ready for the upcoming issue 3.

Two Weeks Down, Two to Go

Thanks to all of you, Riot Earp is already funded and heading to some stretch goals. First, make sure you got our wallpaper that is free to all backers. Here is the link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kRR3JF0jsGHJMTwSh_lvQkHDt9MQj06m/view?usp=sharing
Second, I expect to hit $2,500 so we are already adding additional pages to the comic, pinups and background material. Physical and digital backers will both be able to enjoy.
Third, if we hit $3,000 we will provide all physical backers with a one of a kind trading card.
So let's keep pushing the project, all funding goes toward future Riot Earp stories.
While I have your attention, please allow me to mention two worthy Kickstarter projects that are currently running.
First I’d like to point you to Microscopic, a 32-page sci-fi adventure by Keith Champagne and Raffaele Forte continuing an adventure originally published in the pages of Heavy Metal magazine. They have 7 days to go so hop on board.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/newpain/microscopic?ref=discovery&term=microscopic
When the experiment of a feuding married scientific couple goes awry, Liz must shrink to microscopic size to save her be-loathed husband’s life. The art looks terrific and Keith Champagne does words good.
Next is ID-10T Error by Matt McGrath and Otávio Colino, with 16 days to go. Check out issue 2 of a 3-issue miniseries of oversized comics, each at 36 pages. Catch up with issue 1 and get ready for the upcoming issue 3.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/matt-mcgrath/id-10t-error-issues-1-and-2
For fans of Black Mirror and other science fiction, ID-10T Error is a dark comedy about a man who creates the world's most advanced artificially intelligent robot only so he can destroy it. But when the AI gains consciousness, it will do anything it can to survive. The story sounds interesting and the cover and interior art looks crisp and colorful.
