The Earth has been destroyed. Civilization has been scattered throughout the solar system. The future of humanity has only one hope– THUNDER GUARDIAN!
Join father-son team of Reilly Brown (Deadpool, Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point) and Will Brown (grade schooler) as they tell the story of Thunder Guardian and his friends, and their battle against space pirates, monster boogers, and the forces of the evil Unknown!
For the past two years Will (currently in the 3rd grade) has been designing characters and telling stories to his comic book artist father, Reilly, who has been drawing them as comic strips for the newspaper A Kid and A Comic. This book collects those adventures in one place for the first time, and includes additional brand new material as well. Here’s what the contents will be:
18 pages of the original comic strip, 3-5 pages of a new story, 3-5 pages of a story where Reilly writes it and Will draws it, 2-4 pages of character bios/stats, 2-4 pages of process stuff (like Will’s sketches of characters and Reilly’s interpretations)
For fans of DEADPOOL, who are looking for something equally humorous and action-packed, but maybe they can share with the kids in their life who have a more DOG MAN sense of humor. Similar to AXE COP, but with superheroes. If you like aliens and space pirates, this book is for you. If you like monster boogers, this book is especially for you.

Unicorn Universe #Make100 – Fantasy Comic Special Editions
Brand-new connecting covers for Unicorn: Vampire Hunter #1, Vampire Detective in Space #1, and Unicorn VERSUS Vampire Detective #1!
It has been five years since the launch of Unicorn: Vampire Hunter. Since then, I have written and published 16 issues including the main series, spinoffs, and an epic crossover with my other series Vampire Detective in Space.
This year will see a return to both Unicorn: Vampire Hunter and Vampire Detective in Space, so to celebrate I teamed up with Brian Balondo and Cari Salviejo to create a three-part connecting cover for special limited reprints of the first issues of the three major titles in the Unicorn universe:
These special edition covers are being offered as part of Kickstarter’s #Make100 promotion, which means that only 100 copies of each cover will ever be printed or sold. They will be printed with high quality cardstock covers, signed by the author, and individually numbered on the inside front cover.
If you’re new to the world of Unicorn: Vampire Hunter, this is a great place to start. If you’re already a fan, these covers are a unique collectible item perfect for your collection.
Of course, you can also catch up with any of the Unicorn series on this Kickstarter.

Durruti Shadow of the People #1-#3
The true story of the life and death of anarchist Buenaventura Durruti – as told by Ringo Award nominated Comic Creator Brenton Lengel
What if Braveheart was a bit more like V for Vendetta and set during the Spanish Civil War? What if the story revolved around the ultimate working-class hero: A modern-day Robin Hood with the future in his heart and a gun in every pocket? A man who battled the forces of evil: the powerful, the wealthy and the corrupt–on behalf of ordinary people inspired by the ideals of Liberty, Equality and Justice?
That’d be a heck of a tale, wouldn’t it?

The Press Guardian & Clock: Classic Pulp Heroes Return!
Together for the first time two iconic pulp heroes join forces to battle Nazis. If you love golden age comics this is for you! Make 100
The Clock and The Press Guardian are two iconic pulp comic characters that don’t get the love they deserve. If you are a fan of exciting adventures and golden age heroes you will love this 32-page comic.
After 85 years we felt it was time that The Clock and the Press Guardian got to fight some actual Nazis and why not do it together? These are two amazing heroes of the golden age of comics that have been lost to time. They never got their own titles (they were always part of the pulp anthology series), which meant their stories were limited to 6 pages or so.
In this 32-page comic we get to give them a chance to breathe and really tell their story. And, while this is a one-shot, if enough people like what we’re doing we’d love to explore these characters further.
In 1942, the Nazis launched Operation Pastorius, an attempted sabotage campaign on US soil. It failed miserably, but what if it hadn’t? That’s where our story begins.
The Clock figures out the pattern in the sabotage campaign and follows the Nazis to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Near the home base for the Press Guardian.
Together, they have to take on the Nazis in a good old-fashioned pulp-style comic with lots of action, adventure and Nazis getting punched. If you love old school comics with amazing art, you will love this book!
