Rylend Grant's THE JUMP #4 Launches on February 17th!
about 1 month ago – Sat, Feb 08, 2025 at 01:17:52 PM

Hey Jumpers,

I'm writing today to let you know that the PRELAUNCH PAGE for Issues 1-4 of THE JUMP is LIVE! The book is coming to Kickstarter - coming in HOT - on February 17th! It would be a HUGE help if you would SIGN UP FOR LAUNCH NOTIFICATIONS now!

THE JUMP is a kick-you-in-the-teeth paranoid thriller comic set in the world of astral projection. It's a smart, high-concept sci-fi dance, full of meaty twists and turns. It is INCEPTION meets THE BOURNE IDENTITY, if it were dripping with macabre and directed by David Fincher.

After a series of crippling personal tragedies, Thomas Northrope retreats from his everyday life and finds comfort in an online community dedicated to the art of astral projection. When he demonstrates a unique aptitude for the practice, Thomas becomes the target of a mysterious corporate/political machine – known as HORIZON – bent on using promising young practitioners to win a centuries-old war on the astral plane.

Issues 1-3 of THE JUMP - launched here Kickstarter - received RAVE reviews. 

You will not BELIEVE what we have in store for you for Issue 4! This one is going to MELT YOUR FACE! So, please SIGN UP FOR LAUNCH NOTIFICATIONS and come make the JUMP with us ONE MORE TIME! 

Thanks!

Rylend


 

MORE SCI-FI FUN: Rylend Grant's THE BREACH is on KS now!
5 months ago – Mon, Sep 30, 2024 at 12:02:57 PM

Hey friends,
  My latest and greatest sci-fi comic book thriller - THE BREACH - is LIVE on Kickstarter RIGHT NOW! We are oh-so-close to funding and WE NEED YOUR HELP to get over the hump!  MAKE YOUR PLEDGE TODAY, make our day, AND get 18+ comics for your trouble!


THE BREACH is a smart, grounded, BLACK MIRROR-esque sci-fi joint, full of meaty twists and turns. It is NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN meets INDEPENDENCE DAY with an extra dollop of heart and and extra pat of soul… and a whole heck ton of fun mixed in.



THE BREACH is a gritty small town crime drama... you know, if there was a portal to another time/dimension about to open up in said small town... if there was a massive futuristic army about to kick it's way through and lay waste to said small town... in the end though, it's a redemption song, written about the local hoods and smugglers who end up tasked with stopping Armageddon.
 


Creator Rylend Grant has worked for 15+ years in Hollywood, writing film and television projects for folks like JJ Abrams, Ridley Scott, John Woo, Luc Beson, and Justin Lin. His latest film - a collaboration with Matt Dillon and Academy Award-winning Director Fernando Trueba titled HAUNTED HEART - hits theaters this Fall.
 


Rylend's Half Evil Comics has been publishing Award-winning, face-melting actiontainment since 2018, bringing you Kickstarter hits like THE JUMP, THE PEACEKEEPERS, and FA SHENG: ORIGINS and comic shop sensations like ABERRANT, BANJAX, and SUICIDE JOCKEYS.
 


Half Evil Comics won a Ringo Award. We were nominated for BEST SERIES alongside books like BITTER ROOT and SOMETHING’S KILLING THE CHILDREN. Rylend was nominated for BEST WRITER next to heavyweights like Bendis, Lemire, and Snyder… short and sweet, we make pretty damn good books… and honestly, THE BREACH might be our best yet!

Head on over to Kickstarter and GET YOUR COPY right now!

Thanks! I hope all is well with you and yours.
