Hey, there EPIC backers! We've got a special treat for you!
EPIC / NIGHT WOLF CROSSOVER SPECIAL DEAL: BACK TWO GREAT CAMPAIGNS & GET A FREE EXCLUSIVE PRINT!
We've partnered up with our good pal Rob Multari, the veteran Kickstarter creator of NIGHT WOLF for a special CROSSOVER PRINT DEAL you're not going to want to miss!
Everyone who backs both the Night Wolf #1-11 and EPIC #1-5 at a physical tier will get a physical copy of this 5x7 print featuring EPIC losing his powers because he flies by the lycan head-turner Snow Paw by artist Evan Scale. (Digital backers will receive a hi-res digital version!)
That's it! Back TWO AWESOME CAMPAIGNS and get ONE AWESOME Bonus Print for Free!
🌏📦INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ERROR IN YOUR FAVOR!
A prospective backer asked a question about our CATCH-UP TIER shipping rates, which alerted us to the fact that we had miscalculated the weights on our EPIC CATCH-UP TIERS, overestimating their weights and thus showing a higher likely shipping cost for our INTERNATIONAL BACKERS.
Big whoops! Here's an updated shipping chart... So if you're grabbing the catch-up tiers, it's going to only cost you around +$24 for international shipping in Backerkit after the campaign instead of the ~$40 we originally had listed.
US SHIPPING is still FREE. (Sorry, we can't do any better than that for ya!)
Thanks again for helping us start the year off with another win! Let's keep it going!

Hey, friends! Hope you're week is off to a good start. I'll be honest, I'm a little sore from taking my soon-to-be 8 year old snow tubing for a few hours yesterday. It was a lot of fun and a great way to spend the MLK holiday here in the states.
We're thrilled to be closing in on 200 backers... and while nearly 75% of you are returning and in some case OG longtime ComixTribe backers, there are still a bunch of new folks discovering us here on Kickstarter and supporting one of our projects for the very first time.
If you're new, please know that we've been launching and fulfilling projects here on Kickstarter since 2012... we've done this Kickstarter thing over 40 times and we're damn good at it! But we never take your continued support for granted and appreciate everyone who jumps onboard.
Especially for the new folks around here, I wanted to point out a super limited GRAPHIC NOVEL SHELF BUILDING BUNDLE featuring all of my graphic novels other than EPIC at one discount price.
I'm also hoping to share some AMAZING NEWS about one of these series later this year that I know long-time ComixTribe fans are going to be super stoked about.
ABOUT THE BOOKS IN THE BUNDLE
The original Oxymoron Vol 1 hardcover anthology that started it all, spinning out of the pages of the comic book series THE RED TEN, the psycho with the killer smile finally takes center stage. This stunning collection features stories by John Lees (Sink), Rich Douek (Drive Like Hell), Jason Ciaramella (The Cape, Godzilla), Joe Mulvey (Scam), Mark Poulton (Avengelyne), and more, and is edited by ComixTribe publisher Tyler James. Available in oversized hardcover format (11.25 x 7.75), 112 Pages, Full Color.
An afflicted detective hunts a serial killer obsessed with contradiction, who is painting a bloody canvass of carnage with the entrails of politicians and power brokers in the corrupt city she calls home. Oxymoron: The Loveliest Nightmare is a mini-series written by John Lees (Sink, The Nasty) and Tyler James (The Red Ten, Epic), with art by Alex Cormack (Road of Bones), OXYMORON is a visceral thriller in the vein of Se7en and Hannibal that answers the question "What if The Joker came to a Gotham WITHOUT Batman?” Collects the entire The Loveliest Nightmare story arc in a 120 page, full-color softcover collection.
When the world’s greatest detective is violently murdered, her corporate-backed super team and former sidekick band together to bring her killer to justice. However, the mission goes terribly wrong, and before the night is out, each of the ten “heroes” will pay dearly for past transgressions.
THE RED TEN is a ten part mini-series created by writer Tyler James (Oxymoron, EPIC) and artist Cesar Feliciano (Ripperman), with stunning covers by Charles Paul Wilson, III (Stuff of Legend, Wraith). The book is colored by Gus Ucha, with inks by Vic Moya, and edited by Steve Forbes, Steve Colle, and Sam Lebas. The entire series is collected in 160-page softcover volumes.
Oxymoron: Killing Time
Find out what happens when a contradiction-obsessed killer sets out on a blood-soaked adventure through time, targeting history's greatest hypocrites, as told by some of the best writers & artists working in independent comics today!
Oxymoron: Killing Time is the highly anticipated follow-up to the original OXYMORON anthology launched on Kickstarter in 2012, the ComixTribe crowdfunding project that started it all! Once again, this project is edited and produced by Tyler James (The Red Ten, Epic) and published by ComixTribe, and features the talents of over 40 amazing creators! This 112+ page deluxe, oversized hardcover volume contains 18 all-new Oxymoron stories putting him face to face with history's most notorious charlatans!
Only a few more of these SHELF BUILDER BUNDLES are still available in the add-ons section, so if you're looking to score even more awesome comics at a great deal... JUMP ON IT!

It's good to be back!
Friends, it warms our hearts to that you've welcomed EPIC back with our return here on Kickstarter!
It's a tremendous feeling to have a book fund here on Kickstarter, especially when it's one that got delayed for some reasons outside of the team's control.
That said, the new extra-sized issue is 100% complete, so we're queued up for quick fulfilment shortly after this campaign wraps...
EARLY BACKERS, THIS IS YOURS!
And since you were among the awesome early birds who backed this campaign in our first 48 hours... you've scored a FREE SIGNED PRINT upgrade with your pledge!
Now that we've hit our initial funding target, we're going to be able to make some awesome improvements and additions to this campaign we know you're going to be excited about.
"Hey, Matt, I need you to create a snake themed supervillain team." "No problem!" We love expanding the EPIC Universe in every issue!
Stay glued to our campaign updates as we roll them out!
Best,
Tyler, Matt and the ComixTribe Crew
P.S. We'll be shouting out some other awesome Kickstarter projects over the course of this launch. Let us know what else YOU are backing this month!
