We launched the Kickstarter campaign today for the collected edition of The War for Kaleb! The graphic novel will include a brand new epic cover, new
content not in the original single issues such as a forward by Shelley Briggs Callahan, author of House
of Life, an extensive gallery with many talented individuals, a sketch
gallery, and behind the scenes section, and an afterward by myself.

The idea of creating a graphic novel has always been something exciting
for me, as it is my preferred way to read comics. I love having the entire story in one place,
and I adore the format. I love seeing
the collection of graphic novel spines on my bookshelf, thumbing through them,
and finding the gem that I’m in the mood for at the time.
The final book will come in at 104 pages, and will have a run of 1500 copies.

Also with the launch of the Kickstarter is a special movie
style trailer, and mini documentary about the book, with original music, and
editing by Dan Schepleng! Ever since I saw the comic book trailer for Ultimate X-Men in the early 2000’s I
wanted to do something similar, and I feel The
War for Kaleb trailer came out wonderful.
The music is epic and truly captures Kaleb’s internal conflict
turmoil.
The Kickstarter will last until April 21st so
there is plenty of time to get in on it if you desire. If you can’t pledge, please share, share, share! The true strength of crowdfunding comes from
word of mouth, so I can’t thank everyone enough for just simply spreading the
word!
Thank you everyone for your support in the past, and
hopefully for the Kickstarter!
As a bonus the fine folks over at A Place to Hang Your Cape, has written a flattering review of The War for Kaleb #2, just in time for the Kickstarter launch!
"In every aspect, The War for Kaleb #2 is an improvement on an already stellar original. It escalates, complicates, and deftly prepares for the story’s finale. It is bittersweet then, that Issue #3 will be the last for this extraordinary comic."
