Aaaand we’re back! Of course, the Kickstarter continues–it’s been a wild and crazy 10 days, but we’re currently sitting at $11,111 (I know! It’s weird!) and have been selected as one of Kickstarter’s official “Projects We Love”. You can check out the Kickstarter by clicking on this link or the image below!

Both of those things are great news to us, but there’s no time to relax! We’ve got another $4,889 to earn before October 5th to get this campaign across the finish line! If you’re on the fence or have questions about the book, feel free to drop a question here or on the Kickstarter website, and I’ll answer it ASAP.

I love these action sequences where Rachel plays around with our standard suite of panel shapes, creating sharp, angled lines and interesting silhouettes that really lend to that “lots of things happening in a very short time frame” feeling you should have in a multi-character fight. You might recall a similar technique used in Chapter 2 in the fleeting moments after Clovis’ death, or the unique shapes we saw in the Quinlan/Crim fight in Chapter 1. It’s always cool to see it, and I think Rachel’s work here is wonderful.

We’re going to be posting an update to the Kickstarter campaign on Monday with some new information for interested potential pledgers, but if you’re interested in snagging a hardcover edition of Beyond the Western Deep: Volume One, complete with EXTRAS of all sorts, we highly encourage you to check out the campaign website: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2036424072/beyond-the-western-deep-volume-one

ALSO! As you might know, I’m a writer on the MMORPG Guild Wars 2! A major project of mine over the last few months has been the upcoming raid that will be released next week on Tuesday, September 18th. Here’s the teaser: https://twitter.com/GuildWars2/status/1040631362124836869
