Hello Jaycen Wise family!
We are back from our best LA Comic Con ever, and it was great to see some old friends and make new ones who will be joining us in the World of Asunda, learning about the life of Robert Smalls, and digging into Jaycen's past.
Speaking of Jaycen Wise! THANK YOU! - For all the support for this incredible hero on this Kickstarter campaign!
THE MOST AMAZING / FIRST ETCHED METALS WE HAVE DONE!

STRETCH GOAL HIT - NEW MID CAMPAIGN DROPS - MORE TO COME!
6 months ago
– Fri, Sep 26, 2025 at 04:33:07 PM
THANK YOU!
This is Editor Josh, filling in for Sebastian. He’s had a tough week personally and he’s still powering through to do LA Comic Con, which starts today.
As his substitute, first of all, let me thank everyone that has supported this campaign. We weren’t sure how a book outside of Asunda would be received by our fans, and we’ve been blown away by the interest and excitement. On that note…
STRETCH GOALS
We hit another Stretch Goal! The $60K stretch goal has been knocked down, so all physical backers get a bonus Asunda book from the Vault!
Next up is $75K and it’s a good one! Another mini litho for everyone and a Silver Coin for all backers at $500 and up! To see everything else that has been unlocked, check out the graphic on the campaign page.
SOCIAL MEDIA GOALS
You also have a chance to win a valuable GOLD METAL VARIANT of the Raiders Homage for Jaycen Wise! We're doing a social media giveaway, and all you have to do for a chance to win is help promote (which will also get us to higher Stretch Goals and get you more free stuff guaranteed!). Details below:
Tying together the convention and the campaign, we have two new Mid Campaign Drops. The LA Comic Con Exclusive Purple and Gold Akira homages for Jaycen Wise. Both the Ancient Kush variant and the 1947 variant are available as trade dress limited to 50 and silver metal limited to 20. You can get them as rewards or as Add Ons!
And in case you missed it, last week’s drop was the Otaku Noir Mystery Box which features an exclusive Ghosts of Tsushima Homage variant, a shirt, a lanyard, assorted comics, and a chance to get one of 10 dual clad coins!
If you do want to add any of these on, please see the add on tutorial below. Also, be sure to check out campaigns below that are currently running from several of our friends and fellow Kickstarter creators!
Thank you again for all of your support, Joshua

PALS
There are several awesome campaigns I want to highlight.
THE FEW AND THE CURSED
The first is by a great friend Felipe. If you’ve been with us a while, you’ve either seen us promoting his campaigns or you found us through him recommending us to his backers. Either way, you need to see his new The Few and the Cursed campaign!
Then there is a newly launched campaign from Kat and Cheyenne about our favorite place… The Comic Shop! They’ve got a great comedy show about a comic shop that is black and female owned and they’re working on a comic related to the show!
And last but certainly not least, we have another Joshua.
Joshua Rubin of Strange Land Comics is an Emmy-winning video game writer who actually worked on Assassin’s Creed, so you know we had to connect. There’s just too many Strange parallels. Joshua has launched his first campaign for a sci fi comic called Time Sensitive, and he’s killing it! Go check it out!
