Yo, family! Final hours and we're in spitting distance of the next Stretch Goal. We're hyped beyond belief for the love you've shown the campaign thus far. Less than $4,000 dollars left to unlock the next bonus: When we hit $30,0000, all physical orders will receive the digital PDF edition of the graphic novel.
Spread the Ruckus Like Butter on Toast
Now's the time to unleash your inner hype machine! Share this campaign like wildfire across your social platforms, shout it from the fire escapes, and tell a friend to tell a friend that we're about to drop a legendary masterpiece. Every share helps!
Limited Means Limited

We're headed into the final bar of our campaign! Huge thanks again to all of the fans and followers who are ready to mount up and blast off into ODB's new multiverse! There are still a few stretch goals that can be unlocked:
When we hit $30,0000, all physical orders will receive the digital PDF edition of the graphic novel.
For the first 500 backers, all physical orders will receive a Damion Scott mini art print as an additional bonus!
When we achieve $60,000, we'll unlock a UV spotgloss upgrade for all softcover AND hardcover editions.
In the meantime, we want to share a closer look at one of the stories you'll be reading in the anthology, Troy-Jeffrey Allen and Maan House's urban ghost story, DEMON FLOW!
Peace, Love and RUCKUS!

Ooh Baby, First Stretch Goal Down!

The year might be winding down but this campaign is still heating up! Thanks to your incredible support, we've exceeded 250 backers, which means that we'll be giving away a Mike del Mundo mini art print to the first 250 physical orders.
This is an important milestone for us, and we couldn't have done it without you. We're so grateful for your support, and excited to continue building with you.
There's less than two weeks left in the campaign, but that's plenty of time to crack the next stretch goal of raising $30,000--that'll give all physical backers a free digital PDF edition as a bonus.
Peace, love, and RUCKUS!
