A Shoutout to Our Fearless Community:
In the spirit of community, we want to highlight a couple of noteworthy campaigns:
Invader Comics’ Neurocron
A seemingly random murder in the area known as "Techslum" turns out to be much more than it appears, as the corpse is discovered to be "enhanced" with illegal biotech. When FBI agent Vera Morales uncovers the victim's connection to a reclusive techno-cultist, she becomes embroiled in a conspiracy that could very well change the course of human evolution.
Check out Neurocron here!
Crossover Division
When stories come to life and threaten to fracture reality beyond repair, only an English professor and a research librarian have the knowledge and smarts to save us all. Join Hank Wallace and Hector Ramirez in Crossover Division #5 as the growing evil of Mr. Hyde stalks a transformed London. Can Hank and Hector end the crossover before Mr. Hyde ends them?
Click here to check out Crossover Division!
Your continuous support propels us forward, and we can't wait to see what else the darkness holds in these remaining days.

The comic promises to reawaken buried secrets, open old scars, and inflict fresh wounds as violence erupts in the brackish waters." This marks the beginning of our expanded publishing line, and it's going to be a big deal for both Metal Ninja Studios and Jonathan Hedrick. Dive into the darkness and learn more about Brackish here.
Stretch Goals On the Horizon:
But the journey doesn't end here! We're racing towards the $4k mark, where Float stickers will soon be unlocked for all physical backers. Your continued support might just lead us to reveal more stretch goals... hint, hint.
Shoutouts to Awesome Campaigns:
In the spirit of community, we want to highlight a couple of fantastic campaigns:
