Lords of LA #2 - Great Jumping On Point!

Hi, Lords Fans,
For those of you that have supported issue #2, thank you so much for getting us past the first Stretch Goal. If you haven't jumped in yet, this is the perfect time to get in. Not only is the campaign fully funded, but we have unlocked the first Stretch Goal with two weeks left to go. Click the link below and help us get to the next one.
Unlocked: a full Vampire Comic -- Vampire Bloodlines is now unlocked and all supporters will receive it absolutely FREE! By some amazing indie creators, I'm sure everyone will love it.
Less than $1k remain to unlock the Lena Vampire Magnet. I have a bunch of Rovanna Magnets from my previous campaigns all over my refrigerator. They are lots of fun.
Here is a panel from the new issue where Vincent flings open the curtains after he hears a crash, to find that gunmen have driven through the gates toting Tommy guns. Emil Vorigan, the Lord of Vegas, sent a hit squad to take care of Vincent. This may not end well.
Ruxy Vampire is a supernatural thriller about Ruxandra Tepes, the granddaughter of Vlad Dracula himself. Ruxy is a Cel Rau vampire, a unique and tough breed that's a little closer to humanity. Cel Rau are born, not made. These differences make them hated by other vampires and prestigious trophies to vampire hunters. Hunted and hounded, Ruxy and her brother Marku escaped by embracing the light of the sun in late 1880s London. For a Cel Rau, sunlight means being turned to stone... perhaps to never live again.
But Ruxy and her brother awake, finding themselves 1926 Chicago with no idea how they got there. Ruxy is a Wallachian princess, but was never interested in more than gambling, carousing, and getting into trouble. Restless for blood, bourbon, and excitement, Ruxy sets out into the wild world of Prohibition Chicago with her exasperated triplet brother in tow.
Ruxy Vampire is a supernatural action NSFW thriller. If you enjoy mashups of history and fantasy (like Nottingham, Uber, American Vampire) and the supernatural (Cullen Bunn) with a dash of sexy, this book is for you!
Ruxy Vampire is the first spinoff of the Spectress & Sabanion universe (I call it the "Sandsverse"). Spectress is the ghost of Cleopatra's top assassin, trying to create a new identity and rejoin the world of the living. She's bound by an ancient curse to a demon named Sabanion. He's a whirling, burning engine of destruction. They begrudgingly cooperate in an effort to rejoin the modern world. Things do not go as planned.
I have successfully Kickstarted 4 issues of Spectress & Sabanion. Issue #5 is coming up!

Hi, Lords Fans.
I'm so excited to finally announce the launch date for Lords of LA #2 and it's...wait for it...TOMORROW! That's right. Starting bright and early, you can jump on those Early Bird Specials that will only last for a couple of days and then will expire- never to be available again.
In other amazing news, I will be doing a LIVE LAUNCH STREAM Q&A beginning tomorrow Nov 5th at 1pm est. Click the link below to access the live stream. I will be talking about writing comics, film, and television and the development on both sides. If you're interested in the creative process, this will the perfect time to ask me all about it.
I will also be revealing a couple of new projects, including a new card game! I am partnering with an artist that comic fans might recognize. Exciting stuff! So join me tomorrow where I will also be revealing the new Lords of LA Promo Video (which you can also view by clicking the link--Sshhh! Don't tell anyone).
See you all tomorrow and thank you all for your continued support.

INDIE CREATOR SPOTLIGHT
By the writer of Born of Blood, check out the horror/action comic.
A masked vigilante and a Chicago Undercover Police Officer stake out a drug exchange. The exotic and strange drug in question embroils them in an underworld of monsters and demons they couldn’t imagine. Upon revealing their own unique monstrosities, these unlikely partners are welcomed by {{REDACTED}} to join a league of monsters gathered to stop an even greater evil from taking over the world. Can these potentially heroic monsters trust one another long enough to survive this UNHOLY NIGHTMARE?

Hi, Lords Fans.
I'm glad that you're all liking the teaser for the new issue. It's going to be exciting as it not only focuses on Lena announcing her return to Los Angeles to the heads of the mob families - Dante Cainella and Vincent Abellino, but also delves into the Lord of Vegas. This will complete the Lord of Vegas story arc and boy it's a doozy. Emil Vorigan wants to take over Los Angeles and tortures the twins just for his own amusement. Dante and Vincent are not going to like that, but what are they going to do about it? Things get ugly. 'Nuff said.
Special appearance by Hollywood legends Marilyn Monroe and Barbara Stanwyck while on the set of their film "Clash by Night" (Yes, it's a real movie).
If you haven't already, please sign up to be notified of the launch. We're trying to get to 200 before we launch in a few weeks. So, click the link below. It takes less than a minute. What are you waiting for?
If you like Vampire stories here's another campaign by my friend, Christoffer Meyer. It's fully funded and only has a few days left. So Check it out before it ends.
In our story thus far, we learned about Bianca’s origin in how she became a vampire but when she returned home, she found her property littered with corpses that were not of her own making. Lilith is ramping up her attacks and causing problems for Bianca and her rule over the vampires in Bridgeport. What steps are needed to be taken to protect the city she rules and the people she loves?
In this issue, we see Bianca having to clean up the mess that was left at her home. Bianca does go out for a girls night out with Sophia but it ends up getting the recon that Sophia found. We also learn a little bit more about Lilith while Bianca is being stalked. Also we have a special cameo of a pop star but she isn’t the only one that returns.
Thanks for all of your support and the messages wishing me luck.
