Hey, guys, so guess what? Last Friday on Haitian Flag Day, Is'nana the Were-Spider was able to pick up 3 Glyph Awards. For those who don't know, the Glyph Awards awards excellence in Black centered and based comic books. I'm seriously honored, especially looking at the past winners of each individual category I got awarded for.

A crowdfunded work for hire gig sounds a bit worrying. Did they pay you up front for that, or do they need to meet their targets first?
Has to meet it's target. Made sure to get it on contract for I wrote a single word.

Good luck. I hope that works as well for you as Is'nana has.
Thanks! That'd be great. Especially as this is my first work for hire job. It's been fun having free reign to develop this character, and challenging as it's not my own original character.

Ok, to top it all off, heh. Sorry for the self promotion overload. The Kickstarter for the next book I'm writing, THE GENTLEMAN: DARKNESS OF THE VOID, is up and running. Be sure to check the video for the dope images, art, and concept! And don't forget, if you're interested in pledging/donated, Kickstarter doesn't take any dime from your account until the end of the campaign at the end of the month.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/782290703/the-gentleman-1-darkness-of-the-void#
A Lovecraftian inspired horror noir story about the haunting ghosts from the past along with the ghosts from the forth coming future, the Gentleman finds himself drawn to Espere St. LanmĂ©, mysterious and alluring, seeking help and protection from a being of possibly supernatural origins. Unfortunately to protect her, Oliver must succumb to his special abilities, a hereditary curse that uses his body as a key and vessel to the Void, an ancient evil with the means to destroy all life as we know.Â
Can Oliver protect Espere without losing his humanity? And if he can, can she be trusted? What is her connection to Oliver and the Void itself?

The page gives me no way to vote — no button, link or whatnot. I visited before the closing date of 28/4, and tried a couple of different web browsers.
Not that it matters, since you have an astronomical lead anyway. Â Congratulations!
Thank you, man! Yeah, the site keeps messing up for many people. Have you tried opening it on your phone? It seems more people are having success there.

Thank you so much, guys!Â
I have quite the stiff competition in the other categories, I'd be VERY surprised if I win those.

Hey, guys! How are y'all?!
The Glyph Awards which recognizes the best in comics made either by, for, or about Black people and celebrates the accomplishments that Black artists and writers have made in the comic book industry has nominated IS’NANA THE WERE-SPIDER: THE HORNET’S WEB #1 in 5 categories this year!
That final award, The Fan Award for Best Work, allows fans to vote in for support. So if willing and able, would everyone be interested in casting a vote for Is'nana the Were-Spider and please, get others to vote as well. The link is below and will only take about 10-30 seconds! This would be a wonderful opportunity and achievement.

Loving the Milligan discussion. I picked up the first issue of one of his recent books which was a bit of an erotica. I wasn't sure how I felt about it but tracking the following issues were difficult for me so I may just pick it up in trade. Did anyone read it? How did you feel about it?
I also loved his Greek Street and was disappointed when it ended. But I always felt like one of the odd men out who enjoyed it while others were heavily underwhelmed. I'm looking forward to his Legion run about to start for Marvel.

Today is the final day of my campaign for Is'nana Vol 2. I'm doing a last day stretch goal with an awesome digital comics deal. If you pledge for a copy of Is'nana the Were-Spider and we are able to reach $18K by tomorrow at 9 AM, EST, you get a digital package of 16 free indie comic books.
This is a great way to get a bunch of dope comics for the price of one book and a way to learn of other books out there.

Tigger, my heart just stopped reading thought all that. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that, wow. Â You're in my thoughts, stay strong and chest up! We're with you.

lol, I've cut cheese form my diet. Except on pizza. I still mess with it on pizza.

A recent interview I did.
"Despite the awesome quality works coming out from the Black indie scene, there’s still a lot that can be done. Message boards and social media groups have come a long way, pushing out materials to be supported, but a HUGE majority of POC fans are still preaching and complaining about Marvel and DC’s usage of some of their Black characters yet they still won’t put their money where their mouth is and try out some critically acclaimed or fan favorite Black indie books. And the crappy thing is, we can’t get more of our stuff out without all the support that would actually help us produce and represent us in a better light."
Less than 2 days left to help support and get a copy of Is'nana if anyone is interested.

Hey, guys! Sorry to bug y'all again about my Kickstarter.
Given that my character Is’nana and his father, Anansi the Spider, have been established with the ability to travel through different worlds, I thought it’d be fun to take advantage of this and introduce people to different books and series in the indie comic world. With the stretch goal of $16,000, the Is’nana team are hoping to raise enough money to add 40 extra pages of story content to allow Is’nana to go through these different worlds, each illustrated by their respective creators. The goal is to raise enough money to pay all the artists/creators involved.
So we have Vol 1's artist Walter Ostlie's Shiver Bureau, Micheline Hess' Malice in Ovenland, Shauna J. Grant's Princess LovePon, Chuck DragonBlack Collins' Bounce!, Keef Cross' DayBlack, Mike Priebe's Barrdok the Wanderer, and N Steven Harris' and Robert Garrett's Ajala! I thought it'd be great to do a sort of cross promotion between each creator and books and given that I have a good set of readers and fanbases, I'm hoping I can not only introduce readers to more Black folklore and mythological characters, but also get more people into other indie books and franchises. If anyone is able to jump in to help, that'd be wonderful, or even spreading the word and discussing what the mission goal is! So please pledge today and spread the word!

So a few things since we launched on Monday! We not only passed the 50% mark already, but we also found ourselves in the Projects We Love category!It's been getting a pretty good reception thus far, but definitely want to get closer to the initial goal as soon as we can, that way we get closer to possibly adding those extra pages of back up story with the crossovers with other indie comic characters. So if you can, definitely put a pledge in and share and tag people to see the project. It'd be much appreciated! Â
Oh yeah, don't forget, money doesn't get taken out of your account if you pledge/donate/pre-order until the end of the campaign on October 25th and you can edit the amount any time after you've pledged until that date. So you can place it now just to calculate the numbers. Thanks, guys!
