What We Need & What You Get

  • We are asking for the minimum amount in order to produce this book. It’s such a passion project, I want to get it to readers as easily as possible. The funds will pay for my creative team and printing mainly and to help other costs such and editorial and design. 
  • We have some amazing rewards and incredible covers by some of the industry’s top talent. As well as some other unique items.

The Impact

We’ve been working on this on and off for a couple of years now. The good news is the book is basically done! So as soon as the campaign ends this sucker is going to print! No year or 2 long waits here. We wanted it done before launching the campaign. 

  • Based on Tyler’s long-time passion for fighting games, he wanted to create a graphic novel world with the same feel, character development, and intrigue as the games we all grew up on. 
  • Tyler Kirkham has been in the comic book industry for over 20 years and has worked for all the major publishers on some of the top titles. He has become a fan-favorite cover artist. This is Tylers first big interior art project in years. 
  • We think think this is a project that will bring the nostalgia back for many readers 

Risks & Challenges

We honestly don’t see any risks. If this campaign funds, you will get the products. Being that the book art is done we are very confident.
