Happy Sunday!

I wanted to thank you, for all the support over the years. Kickstarter has been a wonderful platform to connect with our community in such awesome ways! Many of you I have met here, and then seen at conventions - some, the other way around. I'm really excited to let you know there are two kickstarters we have planned. The first will be new comic Tales of Asunda which should drop in the fall! If you're a fan of Niobe AND Dusu and Waso you will be in for a treat. I've been working on a lot of new issues, and please keep your peepers posted for a couple of big announcements! The following kickstarter, due to popular demand will be an art book, which we will launch around Spring. 

PATREON: Many of you have seen the Patreon launch, and a lot of you guys have backed it! I appreciate that so much! We really wanted to do some things on that platform that lent itself to this word - community. So, even from the $5/month level and up it allows you to get 20% off our website, including our Patreon Exclusive Shop! If you buy from us, you'll probably find this will save you $! :) You can read everything digitally, plus you guys a chance to connect directly with us and each other on the Discord! Of course, higher levels get more things like exclusive comics and merch sent with free shipping and more! We would like to really further the Stranger Family - that was this is about. So if you can, please sign up, we are nearly at $7K. Once we hit $10K every Patron will get a goodie!!! :) PATREON LINK HERE!

Join the Patreon and get access to the Patreon Store! David Mack exclusive comics, prints, and Tote Bags!

I have to also let you know that issue 2 to this Niobe & Dura comic features for the first time - the creation of the world of Asunda! It is a game changer!

A sneak peek of what's to come! These are a WIP of inks for NIOBE & DURA Issue #2
Sneak Peek of what's to come with Dusu, Waso, Uun-Sil, and Niobe :)

Thanks for your time! I really hope to see you on the Patreon Discord soon :)
