Our FINAL Stretch Goal! Deadlands: The Nacogdoches Incident #1 FREE, BUT there's a challenge...
almost 2 years ago – Wed, May 04, 2022 at 11:14:16 AM

Alright, Outriders!

We've now busted $16K already, and we wracked our brains over here at Outrider central, and we've decided, this is going to be our FINAL Stretch Goal! And since we're blowing through K's faster than we can keep up, we're going to make it a challenge.


Our final stretch goal is nothing less than Deadlands: The Nacogdoches Incident #1 FREE! 

You read that right, the second all-new Deadlands comic in production, well, we're going to give you folks a shot at getting the first issue FREE!


But to get it, we need to hit $20K!

Call me hornswoggled, but I think we can do it! We got our original $4K in less than 48 hours, I say we can get our final $4K in the same amount of time.


So, roust your friends, roust your neighbors, share this everywhere you can, and let's make this happen!

If you're perusing and haven't backed yet, you really should before tomorrow to make sure you get notified of this exclusive sneak peek at upcoming awesomeness!

Outland Comics for EVERYONE! $14K Stretch Goal Announced! Cover ENHANCED! 400 Backers Mini-Stretch!
almost 2 years ago – Fri, Apr 29, 2022 at 07:44:12 PM

Yo, Deadlanders!

So, we have busted through $13K, which means that EVERY backer will get a first-issue comic from Outland FREE with their rewards! That's right, EVERYONE! If you backed the digital tier, you get a digital #1, if you backed a physical tier, you get your comic in print. (Only one per backer though)


So, what's next, you ask? Well, $14K, duh. Oh, wait, what happens at $14K?

Well, we had a backer suggest a cool idea (which we always appreciate feedback and suggestions), so, we decided that at $14K we will do a SPOT UV COVER ENHANCEMENT for the Dead Man's Hand Hardcover! We'll make that amazing art from Steve Firchow pop and shine even more on this collectible edition of the book!


And I'm going to put out a mini-stretch goal as a bonus...

There is a bunch of cool stuff coming in that I'm dying to show folks, but we haven't publicly announced yet. But, you all are our faithful, our supporters, you make the magic! So, you should get the absolute first look outside of our creators. So, when we hit 400 backers, I'm going to do an EXCLUSIVE backers only update that will feature the very first look at the new cover for RAVEN - our second full hardcover collection from Matt Cutter, Greg Larocque, and myself coming soon to Kickstarter! This cover will also be by our regular Deadlands cover artist Steve Firchow! You will also get a sneak peek at the first batch of pencils for our second ALL-NEW Deadlands comic series in production now. Written by Shane Lacy Hensley with art from Aaron Palsmeier, this 3-issue series promises to be our most action-packed series yet!


Let's do this!

Final Week! New Stretch Goals! How High Can We Go?
about 2 years ago – Thu, Apr 28, 2022 at 12:40:56 AM

Alright, all you Deadlanders! Thank you for your patience, as we have steadily kept climbing to the $13K mark, and now over 380 Backers! This campaign has surpassed all our wildest hopes and expectations and broken every trend I've ever seen in campaigns. It's not just the dollar amount, which is amazing. It's not just the backer numbers, which are even more amazing to me personally. It's things like the encouragement, the sharing, the promotion from all of you. It's things like the fact this campaign has not had a single day without multiple backers! I have NEVER seen a campaign I've been involved with accomplish that. So, I hope we keep that trend as we are now in our final week, and all of you sitting on the fence, now's the time to hop down and pick a tier! Really, can over 380 fans be wrong?


And, while better late than never, I'm officially announcing our next stretch goal:

$12K STRETCH GOAL: EVERY BACKER GETS A FREE #1 OUTLAND COMIC

Yes, you all said you love comics, so, at $13K EVERY backer will get a FREE Outland comic, a chance to try out a new series from our parent publisher, Outland Entertainment! The comics will all be #1's so you get the beginning of the story, and all series are available through Outland, so if you love it, you can pick up the rest in print or digital. As with The Kid, you will get your free Outland #1 in the same format you ordered your Dead Man's Hand, print or digital! We can't promise anyone a specific title from a specific series, but we think everyone will love whichever series you get a free chance to dive in on!

We have also now planned out the next few in order, so, after we hit $13K, we're ready with $14K and $15K, so bring it on!
