Good day, you wonderful people. Have you heard the good news? Yes, it’s true. The Extraversal Year 1 Kickstarter goes live today at 7:00pm GMT.

SUPER EDIT: Not only is it live – it’s FUNDED – and within 24 hours!

For those unaware, in addition to my work on Afterlife Inc. I’m also part of the creative team at Big Punch Studios. One of our most exciting projects is Extraversal, a quarterly magazine serialising five ongoing titles from the Big Punch Multiverse, available to our subscribers and Patrons. Now, for the first time, we’re collecting Extraversal Year 1 (issues 1-4) as a 164-page luxury graphic novel, and we’re turning to Kickstarter to make it happen. I’m not entirely sure what makes a graphic novel luxury but I’m hoping we can work it out together.

Extraversal Year 1 is 100% complete and ready to go. We just need your help to cover the print costs. Unlike Man Made God, my most recent Kickstarter (the rewards for which I’ve only just finished sending out – clearly I’m a masochist) this new Kickstarter will be super simple, super straightforward. We’re immensely proud of the work we’ve done on Extraversal and we think the book deserves to stand on its own.

If you’re a fan of Afterlife Inc. and want to learn more about the Big Punch Multiverse, this could be the book for you. Everything is connected, and all our stories, no matter how diverse, are building towards something big. We hope you’ll join us in revisiting the first year of Extraversal, where the madness began.

Oh, and if you’d like to check out Extraversal in advance, you can read the entire story so far, in digital form, on the Big Punch Studios website.

Hats off to Nich, Lucy and Ali, my Big Punch partners in crime, and our incredible collaborators Jack, Verity and James for making this happen. Look at us: we’re serious people. Making serious comics.

Quality is our middle name.

Thanks for your time, gang. I’ll see you in the Extraverse.

Time to fly.
