WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE HERO?

Hey Stranger Family!
The Incredible Hulk. That's my favorite. Ever since I was a kid. I met him, you know, and I can tell you – all he wants is some peace.
Here is a man wrestling with the beast within, journeying from town to town, trying to leave that beast behind to find the peace he desperately needs. But you cannot outrun your nature. You can only nurture it…and the beast… well, sometimes folks just want to poke the bear.
This week, while we are HULK SMASHING goals with you, we wanted to honor the green goliath, and another of my childhood heroes – Wolverine! (I guess fighting inner demons is a theme in my life.) So, here we have two beautiful editions of HULK #181 honoring the first appearance of Wolverine. (There is a debate about that too lol). We have dubbed it HULKAMOA, as both covers are for our jade giant, MORKA MOA issue #1, which features Niobe as a baby! You can get them as ADD ONS to any Kickstarter Pledge. Check them out, as paper, foil, and metal editions! Please message me if you have any questions regarding how this is done :) We also have a walk-through below. (Both covers are done by Caanan White and Blond).
Morka Moa #1 Hulk 181 homage (this version is also available in foils and metals)
ADD ONS: - Click "Manage Pledge" - Click "Change Your Pledge" - If you do no have an Early Bird pledge, click Pledge again on your chosen pledge level (or select a different pledge level) and the ADD ON options will appear below your pledge. - If you have an Early Bird pledge, you won't be able to reselect your pledge as it's no longer available, but you should see a button that just says Pledge $XXX with your original pledge amount in it. Just click that to keep from changing pledges and losing your Early Bird pledge. Once you hit that, you should get to the page that says CONFIGURE YOUR REWARD with your Early Bird level and all the add ons underneath. PLEASE NOTE: If there is another pledge level you want, you can that take as well without losing your Early Bird level as we have made almost all pledge levels available as add ons.
Much love! Seb

Hey folks!
As we head into the weekend, I wanted share how thankful I am with how awesome you guys are! We have had a lot of wonderful messages sharing their excitement for the new Niobe comics! We’ve also had a lot of questions regarding ADD ONS – especially for EARLY BIRDS.
TO DO ADD ONS:
Click "Manage My Pledge"
Click "Change Your Pledge"
Reselect your pledge by clicking the Pledge $ amount again. Then you will see CONFIGURE YOUR REWARD page with the ADD ONS scrolled underneath. Just add on the Rewards or ITEMS you want.
EARLY BIRDBACKERS: do NOT select another pledge level. This would remove your Early Bird status. Follow the above steps and look for the green button that says "Pledge $" with the amount of your Early Bird pledge level in it. Once you hit that, you should get to the page that says CONFIGURE YOUR REWARD with your Early Bird level and all the add ons underneath. PLEASE NOTE: If there is another pledge level you want as well, you can that take too without losing your Early Bird level as we have made almost all pledge levels available as add ons. But you can also grab any of the great rewards that are only available as add ons like Ashley A. Woods' Sailor Moon homage or Caanan White's Fantastic Four #1 homage that we did for Jack Kirby's birthday – lookfor holofoils and metals, and the David Mack Gold metals including THE UNTAMED: Still a Fool“REDEMPTION.”
It is also worth mentioning there are matching Niobe and Dura sets, many in metals, that should save some $ (although you can purchase each of these solo if you like only one of the two covers in the set) - here they are in all their glory:
MACK ATTACK SET
SOUL SISTER SET - homages to Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu by Rahiem Milton
Inked - Rahiem Milton Set
Talia Skyles Set
Hope you enjoy! Have a great weekend and please let me know if there are any questions!!!
Best! Seb

I am sincerely humbled by this achievement, and more determined than ever to bring you quality tales in Niobe’s world of Asunda. PLUS we want to give back to the geek tribe warriors who hold us down. So here is a way we want to offer some Stranger love :)

I’m getting a lot of messages about how to do ADD ONS, especially after we posted the “DROP THE MOON” Sailor Moon homage. It comes in virgin, holofoil, metal and coloring book. (You can also add this as a Poster as an ART LOVER Reward ADDON).
You can ADD ON any REWARD if you want to get a set of regular covers PLUS Metals you can! :)

We like to pay it forward at Stranger Comics. As a huge fantasy fan, I wanted to make sure you saw this magical campaign by Cary Nord!
Critically acclaimed comic artist Cary Nord, known for his Eisner Award-winning run on Conan(Darkhorse), and other top titles like DC's Wonder Woman and Marvel's X-Men, is releasing his first creator-owned work Fol’Klor! It's a 36-page epic fantasy that takes place in a land gripped by darkness —a land at mercy to the whims of the malevolent god of night, Jealous King Noch.
Solntse, a young orphan girl, discovers that she’s host to a great power that lies dormant just below her skin... a power that can no longer be contained. A power that has not gone unnoticed.

Hey Guys!
Thank you so much for all the support! We have blown past our biggest campaign ever!
We have just added a NEW ADD ON! The SAILOR MOON “DROP THE MOON” HOMAGE!
$20 – COMIC ISSUE – NIOBE: She is Life #4 "Drop the Moon" Sailor Moon Homage Cover - Limited to 500 total copies. By original NIOBE: She is Life artist Ashley A. Woods. Features Niobe's disciples on the issue that includes their first appearances, and this is also a 1st cover appearance. Also available in a holofoil (limited to 100 copies, $60), a silver metal (limited to 25 copies, $200), and a coloring book cover ($10) as add ons. There is even a Coloring Book cover edition ADDON for $10!
And remember, you can ADD ON any REWARD as well as ITEM, by hitting the MANAGE MY PLEDGE button where you should see an TAB or the list. It is much easier on the laptop! (I suggest you get those METALS while they are on DISCOUNT! All Metals are the virgin editions for this campaign).
