Hello Zorros!

We are in the last week of the campaign and continue to be so grateful to everyone who has shown up to back this awesome book. With 7 days left to back Zorro: Man of the Dead, we have set our sights on unlocking the campaign's final stretch goals and are beginning the process of activating BackerKit for the next phase of the project.

Very shortly we will be unlocking our $250K Stretch Goal and we look forward to an exciting finale to this campaign. Massive can't thank each of you enough for your support. Let's make the last week of Sean Murphy's Zorro: Man of the Dead Campaign as legendary as the character himself!

Thank you, Backers!

New Add-On! 

Limited Private Video Chat with Sean Murphy

We have added an option to have a 30-minute video call with Zorro: Man of the Dead series artist and writer, Sean Gordon Murphy! Sit down with Sean for a full, uninterrupted half hour via Zoom, Google Meet, or Skype (whichever you prefer) and enjoy the kind of conversation you wouldn't normally get to have on a convention show floor! The chat will be scheduled for a time between the completion of the campaign and July of 2024. This $200 add-on is limited to the first 20 backers, so don't miss out!

$250,000 Stretch Goal!

Our next Stretch Goal unlocks at $250,000 and we are so close. Once we hit that milestone, we will unlock two covers for Zorro: Man of the Dead -- a foil variant of Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner’s artwork in the Rewards section PLUS Dan Panosian’s cover in black & white will unlock for comic book stores. As we post this update, we are less than $3000 away from getting to release these awesome rewards. So stay tuned for more news about our Stretch Goals very soon! 

Speaking of Jimmy Palmiotti and Amada Conner:

SPOTLIGHT ON OUR FRIEND JIMMY PALMIOTTI'S NEW PROJECT: THE HUNTERS!  

Our good pal and frequent Kickstarter creator Jimmy Palmiotti has just launched another amazing campaign entitled THE HUNTERS and we are super excited to share the news with our backers and fans.  

We know Jimmy creates nothing short of top-notch Kickstarter books.  He's on his 23rd at this point, so he must be doing something right!  With this campaign, he teamed up with his former artists Chad Hardin and Alex Sinclair from their hit run on Harley Quinn to craft a cool looking western one shot book.  With covers by Bill Sienkiewicz, Chad Hardin and Amanda Conner, this is going to be a keeper!

THE HUNTERS takes place post-Civil War and is about a married couple, Allister and Katie Hunter, now retired from bounty hunting and sharpshooting, heading west to retire in San Francisco and live out their lives together. Along the way, they try their best to mind their own business and keep focus on their goal until Katie witnesses the torture of a young man and cannot resist getting herself involved.

We hope you join us in checking out this awesome new project!  Super excited to see this campaign get funded!
