TSC.NS.20 :: ThoughtScape Comics is now LIVE ON KICKSTARTER!!!
t-minus-ZERO.TSC.KS.2023
Good morning, ThoughtScape gang!
The ThoughtScape Comics #1-#3 campaign just launched on Kickstarter! Help us make day one huge by backing now!
If you’ve been following along, you know we have a slew of amazing rewards available this time out, all with the goal of getting issues #2 and #3 published and distributed this year (and of course getting issue #1 to you if you’re new to the ThoughtScape). So, be sure to pay attention to the Add-On Rewards once you select your initial pledge level. You don’t want to miss out on great things like commissions from Dave Law, Karl Slominski and Jeremy Brooks, killer posters featuring images from issue #3, and additional books from ThoughtScape pals like Tenebrous Press!
If you are unable to back the campaign at this time, sharing with your friends and helping spread the word is also greatly appreciated. Maybe drop a text to some comics-loving pals with a link to the teaser trailer on YouTube?
The Campaign Trail…
It’s important to me that everyone, myself included, has fun during this campaign no matter how the money part of it all goes. This whole ThoughtScape deal should be a bit of an indie comics party. To that end, I reached out to my collaborators and arranged to have some loose, podcast-style discussions with them that we could share throughout the campaign. Here’s the first of those…
… a chat between me and artist Tyrell Cannon!
Find and follow Tyrell: Website | Instagram | Twitter | Patreon
I’ve also released this as a podcast that you should be able to find on your podcast app of choice. Here are a few links to point you in the right direction for that: Spotify / Apple Podcasts / Amazon.
Tune in to Keeping It Geekly this Wednesday, January 4th at 12PM Eastern / 9AM Pacific to catch me talking ThoughtScape and more with Cody. You can add a YouTube notification now by clicking the YT deal below.
Kickstarter Reward Spotlight
If you love sci-fi AND YA adventure, or know a YA reader, be sure to check out the ThoughtScape Comics + Lifeformed Graphic Novels Mega-Pack, which includes all three issues of TSC PLUS TWO ACCLAIMED 200-PAGE GRAPHIC NOVELS, written by me and drawn by artist Cassie Anderson. Here are the details that reward…
About Lifeformed
Orphaned in the wake of an alien invasion, 11-year-old Cleo must leave behind the life she knew to fight for her own survival and the Earth’s future. With the help of a rebel alien posing as her dad, Cleo learns how to survive and strike back against the invaders. Battling their way through the wreckage of the apocalypse, these two unlikely companions bond, ponder what it means to be human, and search for reasons to carry on.
Praise for Lifeformed
"A page-turning young adult action thriller..." -Slings and Arrows
"A profoundly poignant, funny and deeply personal take on the world-ending nightmare of an alien invasion..." -sparklyprettybriiiight.com
"Very highly recommended." -Starburst Magazine
"I was immediately taken with the emotional weight of this story, and the deft way Lowery's script lays it all out. Combine that with Anderson's expressive, warm art that manages to convey both human faces and spaceships with equal vibrance, and this becomes an immediately endearing new sci-fi adventure that I can't wait to revisit." -SyFy Wire
Alright, a lot more to come soon, including more great conversations between me and my TSC collaborators, campaign progress updates, maybe some behind the scenes stuff, etc.
If you have questions about the campaign, details of any particular reward, and so on, don’t hesitate to reach out either in the comments here, DMs anywhere, and email. And of course if you want to join the ThoughtScape Discord server, click here.
Thanks so much for your support!
Let’s fund this thing!!!
