Hello all and welcome to my Kickstarter for Asgard and I want to thank you for your time spending on this page.

Now with that out of the way, I want to present to you my dream, a dream of not just being a comic writer or artist but a creator. Asgard is my initial venture into my own mind.

I am the creator, writer, penciler and inker for this book with the masterful Gregory Price (aka. Splashcolors) on colors. While I'm doing a load of the responsibilities on the series, I could not have done it without Greg's work and I am supremely grateful for his efforts. Last but not least HDE granted me his skills at lettering for the first ten pages and I will continue to use him on the project.

Asgard is not just a comic, but it is the culmination of years of creating characters, stories and musings of ideas since high school. You see, this is the start of a universe of characters spilling from mind.

It all started with one simple idea; What if every religion, be it pagan, christian, or fringe was true, just incomplete. This was the seed that birthed the idea of Asgard.

Asgard combines mythologies, theologies and science to form a cohesive narrative about the creation of humanity, our purpose in the Universe and the final outcome of a war of Gods that has been waging before our very creation.



In this first installment you the Louisiana native, Desmond Dubois, as he finds the ancient hammer Mjolnir and is granted the powers of Asgard.

But instead of my blabbering on about what you can read and see for yourself, I'll me give you six pages of the story. Call it an appetizer for the main course. Click each page for a larger version.

Now that you know the team and a little of the story lets get down to what's this all about.

So far I have been able to fund most of the project out of pocket, but now I'm in need of your help. The first 32 pages are drawn and colored, but I only have ten pages lettered at this point. I will be funding the lettering of the final 22 pages in the coming months, But I will need help with printing of the book which is a very costly part of creating any comic in today's age.

I believe in being completely transparent when asking anyone for their money so here is a break down of the costs.

Printing:

$2100 / 1000 copies ($2.04 per copy)

$2200 / 1250 copies ($1.70 per copy)

Shipping:

$360

Before cost of rewards

15% Loss in fees and attrition rate

$2875 needed for goal minimum not including rewards

Packaging costs:

11x17 Shipping packaging 100 boxes $.43 each ($43)

12x18 Envelopes 100 cnt case $36

Rewards (cost)

Standard 11x17 prints Full color 3 Prints 60 copies each $120 (shipping Included)

Metal Prints 11x17 full color $15 per print

All other cost will be handled out of pocket on my end.

As you can see the lion-share of the money goes to printing of the standard 32 page book.

OK, so you have a book like any other comic creator, what else are you bringing to the table?

Well I'm glad you asked and here is your answer. YES

Currently I have the first cover complete.

But wait, there is more.

I was able to even attain an alternate cover by the one and only Brett Booth,that will only be available through Kickstarter and not sold anywhere else.

But wait...OK i think you get the point by now.

Mathew Swift, Disney artist and digital painter,Also added his skills for a special Kickstarter only Print.

I'm also throwing in several source-book style pages and a few more things to make this book extra special. Its my first book so why not make it special for your readers?

I did mention something about making the first issue special and I'm going to allow you guys to decide just how special it will be.

Since there is always room for more and I truly believe in giving my customers more than what they would normally pay for, this stretch goal adds 12 more pages of actual story. 44 total pages of story people, all in one shot.

(These pages have been penciled and inked)

I can’t believe you want even more! But you know what, I understand. Here I add 12 more pages creating the original “Director’s Cut” version of the book without sacrificing pages due to time or money. You get the whole thing as I originally envisioned. 56 full color pages all based on the world of Asgard.

(These pages have been penciled)

You have shown your worth and granted the ancient hammer of power by gaining this special Kickstarter only version of the first issue printed at 11x17. Yes, you heard right, 11x17 inches of comic, the actual size that these comics are drawn at. I will make a special print run of this for Kickstarter donations for $20 or more.
