Rook & Knight: Issue #1 A Fast Paced Action Comic

Help Get The Word Out!
over 1 year ago – Sat, Jul 22, 2023 at 06:02:16 PM

Hey everyone!

We are about a week-ish out to the end of the KS campaign. We have come so far already, but now it's major crunch time!

We are currently at 84% funded with roughly $615 to go. So now it's time to kick things into high gear!

We now have FOUR Marvel Homage cards as add-ons. In addition, we have unlocked a few commission add ons as well, for those who would like some digital art as part of their reward package.

Also, please share this campaign out wide!

Thank you again for your support thus far!

And now, some campaigns you might be interested in!

The Catskin and The Rose:

My buddy Wells Thompson is back on KS with a brand new project. This time it is a sapphic romance set against a tournament to decide who will marry a kingdom's capricious crown prince. It is a graphic novella, so you will have the COMPLETE story in your hands!

"The Catskin and the Rose is a 68 page adventure/romance comic about discovering love in unexpected places, making sacrifices, and fighting for what's important in your life."

Maggid Magazine:

If you know me at all, you know I've been calling for more and better Jewish representation in comics (after all, without us, there wouldn't BE a comic industry). This is definitely a major step for better Jewish representation in comics: Jewish comics by Jewish creators. It's a magazine containing several GREAT comics by Jewish creators in all sorts of genres, allowing them to tell stories in genres that Jewish characters and creators don't often get to tell. They have a VERY ambitious goal and program in mind, but I think that any reader, be they Jew or Gentile, will have a fun time reading these stories.

13: Last Chance

This is another graphic novel/novella, with a really cool setting: 60s Las Vegas! "13 is the forgotten superhero identity of Hal Higgins, a man cursed with such bad luck that his misfortune can be contagious. During the Golden Age, Hal learned to harness his hex and turn it against criminals. But his days as a masked avenger are a fading memory, and now he’s eking out a lonely existence as a hired-gun security consultant in 1960s Las Vegas. Things aren’t going so great." It's a great superhero comic, without the capes, and also contains some neat true history anecdotes from Vegas' bizarre past. 

That's all for now! Remember, we got a week-ish to hit our goal and beyond. It's all hands on deck, now! Let's bring Rook & Knight to life!

The Big Push
over 1 year ago – Thu, Jul 20, 2023 at 11:06:12 AM

Hey all,

We are now 9-10 days out from the end of the Kickstarter.

We have covered a LOT of ground, with about $714 to go. Now is crunch time to push towards the goal and beyond. I'd like to, at the very least, hit that first stretch goal!

Also, I'll be on Kevin Joseph's YouTube channel Friday night (11pm ET) to talk about the Kickstarter and be part of a creator round table. Come on out and say hi

Also, I want to shout out Frankee White and Marcus Jimenez's Falling Stars! They have ONE WEEK remaining and could use a BIG push as well, so please help them out! Support them here!

We got a few more add on surprises before this KS ends, but I do want to remind you about our digital commission tiers! If you want some awesome Baggs Brothers art or even a cover for your own project, we have some options for you:

That's all from me for now. Thank you again so much for your support!

Getting Closer/More Campaigns To Support!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Jul 10, 2023 at 09:44:46 AM

Hey everyone!

We are about...a third through the campaign! Thank you so much so far for the support!

As of this morning, we are roughly two-thirds to the goal. But, let's not rest on our laurels here. I want to hit goal and beyond! So please share the campaign WIDELY! We're working on a few new add ons and some other surprises, so more on that soon!

Also, I want to shout out a couple campaigns that are ending soon. VERY soon. Like THIS WEDNESDAY soon.

First up is Super Joe Unlimited by Austin Hough! If you're a BIG GI Joe fan, this is a book right up your alley! Plus it has covers from folks such as my buddy Ron Joseph, Brian Shearer, and the legendary Larry Hama! (Hama also being probably the only comic book creator to work with the legendary Stephen Sondheim...but that's another story). This ends at MIDNIGHT EDT on Wednesday, so time IS running out for this one. If you like old school comic action, this is for you!

Our second campaign we're shouting out is Requiem Issue 1 by Christof Bogacs (Under Kingdom), David Hazan (Nottingham) and Phil Appley! The story, in short, is "The memory-wiped crew of SpaceArk Genesis desperately try to solve a grisly murder before the killer can strike again."

It's a beautiful looking book, as well as immensely terrifying! If you love Alien, this is definitely up your dark, twisted, HR Geiger alley! Plus, for fans of David's Nottingham (of which I am one), there are some really fun Nottingham rewards available alongside Requiem. This ends around 7pm EDT on Wednesday (so adjust accordingly to your time zone), but still has a small bit to hit goal! Help this campaign become a sci-fi/horror reality!

That's all for now. I'll continue to keep you informed! Once again, thanks for the support!

Spread The Joy Of Comics Around
over 1 year ago – Wed, Jul 05, 2023 at 04:48:38 PM

Hey everyone,

Thanks so much for support so far! As of right now, we are $3 short of 50% of our goal! May I tempt you with the offer of one of our new Libertyverse trading cards as an add-on? We've revealed two of them with more on the way:

Also, I wanted to take this time to share some campaigns I think you should back as well!

SICKNESS OR SORROW #2 - 'Prodromal'

ROSA has always believed she was very much unique. Able to kill without evidence, without a trace.

But her time of doing what she wants - of killing who she wants - is over.

SORROW has her now.

SOUTHBOUND #1: High octane cyberpunk!

In a not-so-far-away future, the metroplex of Dallas-Fort Worth has become one massive city full of wealth and extravagance...but nothing in Texas is ever so simple. A state that never abandoned it's wild west era, Texas' growing wealth disparity has given birth to some of the nastiest criminal organizations on the planet, each one seeking more power in the criminal underbelly of the Metroplex.

So, when longtime hitman Deotoro "Deo" Vasquez defies a burgeoning crime boss (known widely as The Cat) by saving a newly elected US Senator, the whole city sees it as an opportunity for a power play.

Now, Deo has to get Senator-Elect Marc Rivera, and his daughter Oriana, out of the city before it's too late--but first, they'll have to get through every psychopath, killer, and freak in the city.

Falling Stars #1 | A Sci-fi Action Comic

Falling Stars #1 tells the story of Cero Unit, the Van Arfan Royal bodyguards, and their latest mission. Del Aeluin, the Star Snake, was placed in charge of Nola Van Arfan, The Crowned Head-to-be's protection. His duty was to keep her safe at all costs. Then one day, the Princess vanished from her tower… Cero Unit has one objective, to save the princess; they must kill the deserter.

For fans of Star Wars, Dune, and other space operas comes a brand new galactic epic.

Once again, thank you for your support! Please check out all these other campaigns as well!

Awesome Start! New Rewards Unlocking!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Jul 03, 2023 at 06:50:05 PM

Hey everyone!

Sorry that I haven't posted an update until now. I was at Nickel City Con this past weekend (where I also launched this campaign), so I've been busy. Got home a few hours ago.

I just wanted to thank you all for the amazing start to this campaign! We've had over 100 backers in 4 days and nearly 50% there! Let's keep up the momentum.

In fact, the team and I have some new things to offer to whet your appetites! Some new rewards are going to go live TOMORROW for INDIE-PENDENCE DAY! (Which is also a day I've launched on in the past, as long time fans/backers will recall). So let's start with the big one: 

We have a new digital commission tier! This would be a cover level commission (versus the simpler art in the $70 tier) and it's the best deal the Baggs Brothers team has offered for a commission thus far. There are only 3 (THREE) of these available (since they're pretty busy), so come and get it! Remember, this tier goes live tomorrow!

We got a few more surprises in store for INDIE-PENDENCE DAY tomorrow! See you then! And have a safe holiday!
