Welcome to the very first Kickstart the Week podcast! I'm your Comic Maven Nicole D'Andria, and I’ve done hundreds of text interviews with creators of crowdfunding projects, typically for comic books on Kickstarter. I feel very honored that my first guest is a fellow member of Comic Frontline, Brant Fowler. Brant is the publisher of Last Ember Press, and we are talking about his Kickstarter for The Last Ember: Hunted #1, which he not only wrote but also did the letters and the logo. The book is a coming of age superhero story about Ember Madison. Not only does she have to deal with the woes of being a teenager like bullies, but she also has to deal with her emerging fire powers and a serial killer. Full disclosure, I am the editor for this issue of The Last Ember, so I have already read the book, and I’m also one of its Kickstarter backers.

Comic Maven Presents Kickstart the Week

The Last Ember: Hunted #1 (with Brant Fowler)

Welcome to the second episode of the Kickstart the Week podcast! This is your Comic Maven Nicole D’Andria. I’ve done hundreds of text interviews with creators of crowdfunding projects, typically for comic books on Kickstarter. I feel very honored that my second guest is the founder of Signal Comics, Samuel George London. Today we’re talking about his Kickstarter for Band of Warriors #1, which combines historical events with a mixture of Celtic and Greek mythology. Sam is the creator and writer of this mature series, which is perfect for fans of 300 and Birthright. Be prepared for bloodshed and backstabbing! Just like last time, for full disclosure purposes, I’ve known Sam for a couple of years and done editing work for many books from Signal Comics, including this issue of Band of Warriors. So, I have already read the book, and I’m also one of its Kickstarter backers.
