P.U.N.C.H. #2 cover art by Rich Stahnke!
Since the dawn of time, every country; every culture on Earth has whispered in hushed tones of strange, fearsome mythological creatures. TheLochNessMonster. Bigfoot. Chupacabras. Yokai. TallGrayAliens and countless more.
They walk among us, behind us, beneath us; hiding in the shadows. They are the cold chill down the back of our necks; the strange feeling we're being watched. They are the things that go bump in the night, a hidden world of terrifying creatures, the CRYPTIDS, that have preyed upon mankind since we took our first steps onto dry land. Can a group of bio-engineered misfits save mankind from an evil Cryptid conspiracy?
The time has come to fight back!
"PUNCH is really fun. Great title for a book. As a cat person, Marshmallow is my favorite. But Kibble is a close second. Love the juxtaposition of real-world psych treatment of our heroes and the mythic creatures they hunt. I look forward to more - and wonder if the team has a cool sub they will use to track the Loch Ness monster. "
Having survived danger; disaster; betrayal; Tall Grey Aliens; Krampus; The Jersey Devil; group therapy; a plane crash; Winnie The Pooh and MORE, in our pulse pounding 2nd issue P.U.N.C.H. are faced with dire new threats, shocking new allies and even more distressing layers of dysfunction as they tirelessly work to apprehend the ultimate cryptid: BIGFOOT!
With cover art by series artist Rich Stahnke, series writer Keith Champagne, series writer Keith Champagne's Kubert School roommate Richard Miller and the critically-acclaimed creator of KAIJUMAX and SLEEP, ZanderCannon (say what?!), the second chapter of P.U.N.C.H. is our best yet; although to be fair, there was only one issue before this so we had a 50% chance of topping ourselves. Still, the important thing is...WE DID IT!
But don't go thinking that the 48-page first issue was bad. No way, man, it's awesome! In fact, readers that missed it can find out for themselves how great #1 is because digital AND physical copies are available again as part of this campaign. No man left behind!
Created by DC/Marvel Comics writer/artist KEITH CHAMPAGNE with art by teen indy sensation RICH STAHNKE, P.U.N.C.H. is a nod to popular 80's comics like TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, ADOLESCENT RADIOACTIVE BLACK BELT HAMSTERS and more really long titles we just don't feel like typing up. But weren't there some mutated penguins back in the day? And some Fish Police? We vaguely remember there were.
Yep, we've got 'em. How else are we supposed to get this project funded?
Comics, both print and digital. Original artwork and remarqued copies. Are you a coffee drinker? How about a mug to hold that java you love? Don't want to go outside topless? We've got you covered, literally, with our P.U.N.C.H. t-shirt.
PLUS! The first 50 backers, both physical and digital, will receive A FREE PRINT of the below homage illustrated by our beloved Rich Stahnke!
