The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

[GatheringComic]

Okay it's been ages since I posted. I suck. After a wacky year spent producing the original anti bullying anthology, YOU ARE NOT ALONE (for which I was awarded Comic Creator of the Year by Geekadelphia) and seeking a new printer after the old one went belly up we had a very busy but productive 2nd half of 2013.

Now it's getting even more hectic but I'm trying to commit to being more active again on message boards and the like and this forum was always very cool to me.

First off, our Kickstarter for the second YOU ARE NOT ALONE volume just went live. I know money is tight and times are rough but if you believe in the project and what we're hoping to do here even just posting the link and bugging your friends and family to support it is a HUGE deal for us.

This past week has been amazing. We've heard from dozens of teachers, librarians, law enforcement who work with at risk youth who wanted copies of the original book to share with those that could benefit from it. This is hopefully just the 2nd installment of what will be an ongoing project and I appreciate the support.

We're hovering towards the 80% funding mark. When we get there, we'll reveal Kelly Williams' sketch to his variant cover for YOU ARE NOT ALONE 2. And once we hit 100% some lucky backer will be able to own the original art to the variant cover.

Still plenty of great rewards available at all levels so check it out.

Now we're less than $400 away from being fully funded. Let's go over the top!

Thanks everyone. We did it. Fully funded! And we added a few more rewards.

Now it's time to head towards our first stretch goal. If we make it to the $3000 mark we will increase the page count and reopen submissions for a limited time allowing some people to get the opportunity to be a part of this amazing project.

I'm a huge fan of COMEBACK and SHELTERED from Image so I am thrilled and grateful that Ed Brisson has offered up a script review reward to us for the YOU ARE NOT ALONE 2 campaign.

Thanks James. We're starting some prelim work on what will end up being a 3rd volume but with a bit of a different perspective which I think will be very good

10 days left in this current campaign. We are funded and now we're less than $300 away from hitting our 1st stretch goal which will make this a bigger book.

Arion, is this your book?

I'm on Volume 1, and who knows, if you promise you'll be a good boy I might be in this new volume.

I have two big goals with this volume/campagin. I want to get to the 3K stretch goal to increase the page count (we're less than $200 away from that) and I want to get to 100 backers (close to that mark, too)

Here are a few of the articles/reviews on YOU ARE NOT ALONE 1 and 2

It's great to see that so many sites have read You Are Not Alone.
