Hi everyone,
We are proud to present Stretch Goal #4... Dagon!
This is the second image in the Lovecraft Legends series by Chris. The first was Cthulhu himself - which is also available in A5 and A2 format in the add-on sections.
If we hit £12,500, then all backers of Deluxe packages and above will receive the 2nd A5 print in the series - Dagon!
There are still just under two weeks to go in the campaign, so let's keep our fingers, webs and tentacles crossed.
Take care, everyone!
Andy
Stretch Goal #3 - Amazing!!

Hey everyone,
Great news, thank you for all your support - we have now hit stretch goal #3.
The patches went down really well on the last campaign, so we brought them forward this time. Lyndon will design an embroidered patch, and one will be included in every physical deluxe reward tier and upwards.
More news on the next stretch goal in a few days' time.
Recommendation of the day
I came across this curious campaign the other day and got chatting with the producer, Ash Redburn. I'm surprised I've not seen this before, given they're on issues 8 & 9.
Cinecrypt is adapting forgotten or overlooked horror movies, giving them new life in comic book form! From gothic shocks to B-movie shlock, we restore these stories to their original glory, sometimes with strange and subversive twists.
It looks like a really fun and interesting idea, and who isn't up for a bit of classic horror?
You can find the campaign here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ashwrites/cinecrypt-midnight-movies
More Add-ons incoming
After the interest in the previous add-ons, I've been speaking to some fellow comic creators about introducing some new add-ons... Watch this space...
That's all for now - thank you, everyone, once again. More news in the next few days.
Take care,
Andy
New Add-ons and Recommendations

Hi everyone,
We've received enquiries about some of the rewards that were bundled with Chapter One. I've spoken to Lyndon and Chris Holmes and we're pleased to announce two limited edition print runs that will be unique to Chapter Two.
Firstly, the Chapter One bookplate. This A5 print of the Chapter One front cover will be signed by Lyndon and Andy.
Secondly, Chris Holmes' 'Lovecraft Legends: The Call of Cthulhu' - this A5 print has a different palette to the original print making it unique to the Reanimator Inc. Chapter Two Kickstarter.
Both prints will be limited to 50 copies only and numbered accordingly. Both are available in the Add-on section.
We're also nearing Stretch Goal #3 which means backers of the Deluxe tiers and upwards will receive an iron-on patch.
Recommendations
Two recommendations this time around of books that we feel will suit our audience:
Epicenter Issue #1
"Stay Close...or Stay Dead"
Camping with her boyfriend Matthew and a group of friends post-prom, Beth Cooper awakens to the sound of screams and a massive explosion in the distance. When Matthew and her go to investigate, they're attacked by a feral alien creature out for blood. As they scramble to save themselves, Beth soon learns that Matthew is not what he seems and might be the reason these creatures have appeared here on Earth.
I've been following James at Dren Production for a long time now. Their Kickstarters are always top drawer. You can check out the Epicenter campaign here.
And secondly...
Figments of Passion
Love, longing, ambition or revenge?
11 stories in Figments will show you the good and the dark side of passion!
Figments is a new comics anthology that showcases various talents from all over the world. Creators from The Netherlands, England, US, Japan, and Taiwan each add their own artistic touch on the theme Passion. Manga, American Comic and European comic styles: all in one book!
It's amazing how I fail to miss some campaigns. This one has less than 24 hours to go, so take a look while you can. Find out more about the 'Figments of Passion' campaign here.
Thank you all, and take care,
Andy
Stretch Goal Two - Hot of the Press!

Hi everyone,
Following on from Lyndon's update earlier, we're pleased to present the artwork print that will be provided as Stretch Goal #2.
Ryan Kroboth has done an amazing job on this print, recreating a scene from Chapter 2 in his own unique style. Proper retro... Who owned an Atari 2600 or 7800? I still remember being in awe at Pong (now I'm showing my age).
Keep an eye out for further news and prints on stretch goals.
Recommendation time
You have to be quick on this one - there are only 24 hours left in the campaign... Please check out Pocus Hocus!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pocushocus1/pocus-hocus-1-4-a-dark-humorous-and-magical-comic-series
I think there are some really cool synergies between Pocus Hocus and Reanimator. Both are horror genre with mystical and fantastical ideas that form part of an ongoing series. The team get some great reviews:
I've backed this one myself (my credit card is taking a proper hit these days).
That's all for now. We'll be back with more news soon about some new add-ons that will be made available soon.
Take care, Andy
Project we love

Hey everyone,
We've officially be named a "Project we love" which is amazing for you, us and generally the whole project. This "badge" means that someone at Kickstarter likes what we are doing and overall helps get more eyes on the project. This really helps give us an extra boost as we move out of the opening week of the campaign.
In other news, we've just hit our second stretch goal which means backers will be getting a print by the awesome Ryan Kroboth. Thank you all so much for all the support and love you've been giving the project. For now, we do have a third stretch goal in place and a few more planned depending on how the campaign goes, so please do keep sharing where you can and we will keep putting more back into the project and the book.
All the best,
Lyndon
