And "The Switch" Graphic Novel WIll Be Published By....




Welcome to The Switch's new home!
Last week, Keith confirmed that a publisher has indeed picked up our successfully-funded Kickstarter graphic novel The Switch.  As if you can't tell by now from the opening picture, I can now safely and proudly say more publicly that it will be Dynamite Entertainment!  Keith directly briefed our direct backers earlier in the week via our Kickstarter page (you can find out the gritty details there).

In short, the great news is that with a backing of Dynamite's caliber, it shows their confidence in our product, and they will help us reach a much broader market!  This was actually one of our goals after we would have finished/shipped The Switch ourselves--to try and give it a second life via a another publisher.  Keith and I have actually had a history with Dynamite, having done work on a 4-issue miniseries of the return of the 80s cult classic Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters back in 2007.  I've also illustrated a cover for Army of Darkness around that time as well.  So we really couldn't be happier at this stage already.

The only major downside is that it won't be published until Spring of 2017.  To help make up for this, Keith and I will be bumping up the page count to 90 of our story.  We have stated from Day 1 that we owe it to our supporters to be as transparent as possible, that we won't be one of those Kickstarter projects that will take the money, run, and disappear.  So far, we haven't received any complaints about this announcement.  In fact, the comments we have gotten so far have been very supportive and understanding.  That's our fans/friends for you.  We love you!  And we thank Dynamite mastermind Nick Barrucci for his faith in us, and for working with us (again!).  The ride has just begun...

And now for more teaser artwork from The Switch:
