Y'all brought the ruckus! ODB fans of all stripes swarmed to hit our goal in just about a day's time. Your passion means this is more than just a graphic novel and assorted collectables – it's a love letter to the man behind the rhymes, and the raw humanity that made him an icon. Most of all, we can't wait to share our anthology of stories featuring the hustlers, dreamers, and the everyday heroes of his world. As the campaign continues, don't be surprised if we can't help but offer more and more glimpses of what's in store.

DAY 1! Are You in the House?

Comin' at you live from the back alleys of multiversal NYC and ready to drop the illest graphic novel the world's ever seen! We've had a really great launch so far and that’s thanks to all of you incredible backers from around the world, whether you came here as a collector of all things ODB or this is your first time in the Brooklyn Zoo!

But this is no average comic book… We're taking an explosive, genre-bending trip through the mind and rhymes of Russell Jones, the one and only ODB. Prepare for kung-fu throwdowns, cosmic adventure, and ghosts galore, with enough swagger to fill a Shaolin Temple.

Before we dive into the lyrical depths, let's check the loot you can snag on this campaign:

• The Slipcase HC set: This ain't your grandmama’s hardback. There are three mind-blowing cover art variants by Damian Scott, Mike Del Mundo, and Ronald Wimberly with matching slipcases that will be right at home on your coffee table.
• Super7® ODB “Lyrical Ruckus” Variant Action Figure: Every true fan needs a little ODB on their shelf. This limited-edition action figure captures the essence of the Dirty Dog in all his glory, complete with Ronald Wimberly’s art from the graphic novel on his shirt.
• “Shimmy Shimmy Ya” 7” Single: Blast that ODB sound loud and proud with this exclusive vinyl record featuring Ronald Wimberly’s exclusive cover art.

Still want more? Get a taste of the lyrical chaos over at ScreenRant! They got a sneak peek at Maan House’s interior pages, and let's just say, it's gonna be a wild ride.

And this is just the beginning! Watch this space for more surprises—wouldn’t be an ODB celebration if it wasn’t unpredictable.

Peace, love, and Ruckus!
