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.

JUST SIX DAYS LEFT to back THE PEACEKEEPERS 3 & 4 on Kickstarter!

Hello Friends!
A heads up from your old buddy Rylend... you have just SIX DAYS left to back/pick up issues 3 & 4 of my bonkers bank robbery epic THE PEACEKEEPERS on Kickstarter! Check it out HERE.
The Peacekeepers is a dark, quirky crime drama in the vein of Fargo or No Country for Old Men. It’s a love letter to case-a-season police dramas like True Detective and The Wire, to Elmore Leonard novels, and to comic masterpieces like Criminal and 100 Bullets.
It's brought to you by the same twisted team that brought you 10 rip-roaring issues of my much-lauded political action thriller ABERRANT. Aberrant made a dozen critics ten-best lists in 2019. It won a Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Award (for BEST VILLAIN) in 2019 and was nominated for two others (BEST WRITER & BEST SINGLE ISSUE).
We've already hit our first two stretch goals and so now each and every backer will receive a beautiful print AND our BONUS DIGITAL EXTRAVAGANZA, a virtual cornucopia of books from the hottest creators in comics. So, essentially, you're now getting about 20 different comic issues and a print for this one pledge.
More fun to come, too.
PLEDGE NOW to get in on this before time runs out!
Hope all is well out there! Stay safe!
Rylend

THE PEACEKEEPERS comes to you from the same twisted team that brought you 10 rip-roaring issues of Action Lab: Danger Zone's much-lauded political action thriller ABERRANT.
Aberrant made over a dozen critics ten-best lists. It won a Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Award (for BEST VILLAIN) and was nominated for two others (BEST WRITER & BEST SINGLE ISSUE) and the critics raved:
-“Go home, other comics people. Rylend Grant and Zsombor Huszka just killed the game…” (Charles Pulliam-Moore – i09)
-“ABERRANT offers an intense, near-cinematic reading experience that incites excitement and inspires interest for issues to come.” (The Brazen Bull)
-“Aberrant flat-out works. You have visceral action scenes. Personalities practically ooze out of the page. Honestly, this is the kind of storytelling that the big publishers are missing.” (Big Comic Page)
-“…a bleak, dangerous and serious story with a lot at stake…. If you like revenge tales, military thrillers, and superheroes, ‘Aberrant’ has it all.” (Spartantown)
-“ABERRANT #1 is a game-changer at Action Lab: Danger Zone. You’ll become captivated almost immediately… The creative team put together one of the most seamless, cohesive, and dynamic collaborations I’ve seen this year on the indie scene.” (PopCultHQ)
