The Liquid Prisoner Kickstarter (It’s here!)

So, just about everyone I know says “You should do crowd-funding.” and talks about how it’s the future of self-publishing. I dunno. I didn’t have any interest and further, didn’t know how it all worked. The Writer JS Earls was always suggesting I do it and and that I wouldn’t understand the crowd-funding community until I got involved and backed some books. JS introduced me to the [legend] writer Mike Baron [Think Badger <I used to super-read this!!!!> and <the well known>Nexus]. He has his own Kickstarter campaign for Bronze Star, which I also support.

I wanted to find something on my own and not settle on a guaranteed bet. So I did what I used to do as a kid and look for some incredible art and and a deep enough story to keep me engaged. I saw the art for Liquid Prisoner on Facebook and was amazed with the style.

My gut told me this was the right book to get behind. It showed up today with a ton of goodies. Now that I see what I got, I wish I had went in at a higher level. Next time. The creator is David Greg Taylor.

Okay, okay, JS Earls was right. This is awesome. You know how- when you leave a Con(vention) and when you get home, you got a bag full of assorted goodies? That’s how this felt. It was packaged with great care- and had some kind of Styrofoam panel to keep the book protected. Lots of stickers and sketches and bonus art. You can tell this is a passion project. So a big thank you to Afternoon Comics for putting this together. Well done David Greg Taylor!

One of my friends is a teacher from California. He said “If you can do it yourself, you’re not being ambitious enough”. I dig that. My own Kickstarter for God of Fury goes live on September 9th. I hope to give my backers the same experience I had with Liquid Prisoner.
