A Very Ethereal Halloween 3
The conclusion to our Halloween crossover!
It’s everyone’s favorite time of year to dress up in skimpy outfits and eat candy while watching their favorite bloodcurdling movies or maybe it’s run naked in the woods and howl at the moon. Either way we love all of the festivities here at Ethereal!
The Ethereal girls are no different and each will be showcased in their own way in this three-part Halloween miniseries, A Very Ethereal Halloween. Each issue will be 24 full-color pages of story. If we hit $12k, we’ll add a 6 page mini-story.
Each of the girls will have their own covers over the three campaigns for this event, each will showcase their styles and just overall be a lot of fun.
But what is the story behind the event you ask? Is it all candy and naked romps? Nope, there’s murder, intrigue, jealousy and gory action amidst all the eye candy.
This series will include just about every character we’ve written in the past three years, and a key part is no-one is safe. This is a pocket universe so we’re going to be having all kinds of insanity go on.
This is the 3rd and final part of our first miniseries!
Here Comes CALICO – Issue 8
Fighting Animal Abuse is Bloody Business! – Final DOUBLE-SIZED Issue!
Potential: Volume One
A dark psychological drama about five college students after a chemical accident gives all but one of them psychic powers.
Potential is the story of five college students after a chemical accident gives all but one of them psychic powers. Ian Westbrook feels like he’s the only student left at Nova University who isn’t special. With hard work and determination and more than a few harebrained theories, Ian is determined to develop his own psychic powers through lucid dreaming. But after breaking and rebuilding his mind from the ground up, will Ian still be the hero of his own story?
Potential is about power. Who has it? How do they wield it? And does “might make right”? It messes with your perceptions about who to root for and who “deserves” to be in charge. Does anyone deserve it? Is it born into, earned through hard work, or determined randomly in a chaotic world? And how in the hell is a college student supposed to figure that all out? Some people rise to the occasion, while others break under the pressure. Who rises? Who falls? And who will they take down with them? With all that potential, there’s so much to be gained…or lost.
