We're just 90 minutes away from the end of the campaign and are so excited to be bringing this project to life. Thanks to everyone for making this our largest comic campaign ever!
We're only about $600 away from our next stretch goal PLUS Suncrest is currently sitting at 81% of our engagement points to get everyone who backs a Suncrest project a freebie digital zine.
If you have anyone that you know would love Bound by Words or any of the other projects in Printopia let them know! As long as the backer train is moving the campaign will stay live in overtime mode!
While we're hard at work on Bound by Words, we also have a few other comics in the pipeline. We've dropped a poll below, let us know what sounds the most interesting.
(All the projects below are in development. These are working titles)
Comic #1: Phantom of the Space Opera - (Sci-Fi Sapphic Romance)
After the last war ended, a decommissioned battle station was turned into an opera house as a gesture of peace for the galaxy. But the deadly AI still haunts the ramparts behind the stage causing trouble for the new owners -- the wealthy elite of a crime syndicate. Christine will need all the wits, skill, and vocal talent she has to infiltrate the opera house, take down the syndicate, and become the opera's new leading lady.
Comic #2: Red Beer Inn (Fantasy Adventure/Gay Romance)
Dunstan, a good-hearted but down-on-his luck dwarf and Hank, a cynical ex-cleric orc, couldn't be more different. But when they discover an abandoned baby human girl, they resolve to raise her together. Hijinks ensue as they try to live a life of adventure before settling down to run a tavern. But their pasts are never too far behind them. Will their love be strong enough to overcome it all?
Comic #3: La Navaja (Crime Drama/Sapphic Romance)
In New York City, a powerful crime boss known as La Navaja (The Knife) ruthlessly protects her community by keeping the gangs there in check. When external forces draw her into conflict with the Mafia, she must join forces with a policewoman to keep her family safe and to root out corruption in the city.

"...you can imagine my surprise when I received a telegram from Holmes requesting my presence at Baker Street. I rushed there immediately, only to discover a wounded Holmes, who informed me he was being pursued by a gang of thugs bent on avenging the death of their leader. The events that followed proved to be one of the strangest – and most dangerous – cases in my friend's storied career." – Dr. John H. Watson

Received my book yesterday! Very well packaged, and the art Is gorgeous. I'm thrilled! Thank you for all your hard work.
Only question now is: how do I ensure that I see updates for the next issue??
Got mine the yesterday (Indiana, US) and I couldn't find the pack of trading cards at first. They're in one of the spacers! Figured other people might be confused too. Overall, things look great and were nicely packed.
