Hey Super Friends!
Alivon Oritz has finished the colors on my variant cover (Yup, a Series Creator & Writer's Variant!) and I wanted to reveal them below. BUT FIRST...
I wanted to introduce you to our Ringo nominated series Jupiter Jet, the first comic book I ever wrote (co-wrote with Ashley V. Robinson) because you can currently get both volumes as add-ons.
What if a 16 year old girl fought aliens and robots while wearing a jetpack?
Meet Jupiter Jet...
Jupiter Jet tries to help out her 1935 era-city with a mysterious jetpack left behind by her father. She and her brother steal from the rich and give to the poor! But when they steal the wrong item...
A mysterious and powerful stranger named Praetor Pluto comes after them.
Together with her brother, Chuck, and their cat, Jupiter Jet must protect her home from a threat that may - or may not - be from this Earth!
You can add Volume One (120 pages) ...
... and Volume Two (120 pages) . (Where Jupiter Jet learns that the greatest threat to the galaxy might be HER OWN MOTHER!)
If you have any questions about how to adjust your pledge and add on items, please see the previous update with STEPS on how to add these awesome books to your pledge! (They're regularly priced at 14.99 and we have them at $10 in the ADD-ON menu!)
NOW THE BIG REVEAL!!! THE FINAL COLORS ON MY VARIANT COVER!!!
Beautiful isn't it? And a dream come true! Don't miss out. You only have 5 DAYS LEFT to add this CERTAIN TO BECOME A COLLECTOR'S ITEM IN MY MOM'S HOUSE VARIANT COVER!
Two protagonists who weathered the slings and arrows of fate embrace in an airport terminal. But for fans of A Thing Called Truth's first story arc, there were some unanswered questions. What happened with the medical advancement Dr. Magdalene "Mag" Träumer was working on before it was stripped away from her by her former unscrupulous employer? Will her estranged husband's search for her lead to complications with the law? Will Dorian Wildfang's Quixote-like quest to fulfill her brother's posthumous wishes come to pass?
This is a RAD, FUN, COLORFUL BOOK by Iolanda Zanfardino, a queer comic book writer and artist who makes beautiful books. BACK IT HERE.
Only 5 DAYS LEFT -- See you soon!

Hey Super Friends!
We have unlocked another stretch goal, and this one is very unique! SO thank you so much! First, all physical backers will now get an extra Jordi Peréz postcard print. Huzzah! But... it also unlocked my first VARIANT COVER EVER!! That's right, I, Jason Inman, the series creator and writer have drawn a variant cover for Super Best Friend. I've never drawn a comic book cover before, and I'm super nervous to show you. But...
Here...
It...
Is...
It's not 100% complete and there's still coloring left to do on it. But overall, it turned out better than I could have ever predicted! Thank you for unlocking it!
So this ONE OF A KIND and SUPER RARE cover is now available in your ADD-ON menu! I don't think I'll probably ever offer it again. It might become as prized as a Picasso! Or as hated as a stick figure napkin drawing.
Also, I've added a 5 more Script Reviews & Zoom Calls, because you all are eating those up! I'm super jazzed to meet you all face to face. Adding any of these ADD-ONs to your pledge will help us BLAZE past the next Stretch Goal and boost us past my goal of 400 Backers.
***If we cross 400 Backers, everyone will receive 6 BONUS COMICS from the best Independent Comics Kickstarter has to offer!***
--- How to add these ADD-ONS to an existing pledge ---
- Step One: Be sure you are logged in and visit the main campaign page (right here!). Click the green "Manage your pledge" button.
- Step Two: This will take you to the "Change your pledge" page.
- Step Three: This is just a page that will allow you to change your BASE LEVEL or reaffirm your choice of base level. This is not important for add-ons, but important for SCRIPT REVIEWS AND ZOOM CALLS. You should hit the green button that says "Pledge etc etc" which will be the dollar amount of the base pledge that you chose.
- Step Four: THIS is the add-on menu! You can now see every item available through the campaign as an add-on. This is the area where you can select your item of choice -- including MY VARIANT COVER!!
Now, let's reveal the next STRETCH GOAL!!!
Do you all rememeber that Newstime Issue that DC released around the Death of Superman in 1992? No? Well, this is very much like that. This will be a 5-10 page prose PDF written in the voice of Mattie Moore and will look like a magazine. The PDF will give us Mattie's thoughts, behind the scenes details and information about all the characters post the ending of this series! It's a unique book that is unlike anything I've ever made, and I'm super excited to have the option to give it to you all.
Kat Calamia makes some of the best anthologies on Kickstarter! And our Variant Artist Sarah Leuver (Teen Titans Go!) is involved in this one. Here's the deets!
Kat Calamia, Phil Falco (Bi Visibility: A Bisexual Anthology) and Jamila Rowser (Wash Day Diaries) unite to bring you a brand-new comic book anthology: HAIROLOGY! With a foreword from the legendary, Gail Simone (Batgirl, Birds of Prey).

RON RANDALL IS A COMICS LEGEND. I'll say it again. RON RANDALL IS A COMICS LEGEND. All of his books are astounding, and I've backed every Trekker book. Here are the deets...
The second deluxe volume of the adventures of 23rd century bounty hunter Mercy St. Clair follows Mercy as she, with her companion Molly Sundowner, travel from the crumbling streets of New Gelaph out to the stars, pursuing Mercy's greater destiny--one that is on a collision course with the fate of their entire galaxy!
"I love TREKKER--and have for a long time--because it's a great balance of adventure and character in an interesting world. More than that, I've long admired Ron Randall for staying true and dedicated to a creative vision that's given me over thirty years of entertainment (and counting). What Ron's built with this series is a genuine accomplishment in this field.”-- Mark Waid The Flash, Kingdom Come and Superman: Birthright. BACK IT HERE.
7 DAYS LEFT!! Keep being Super!! And thank you again for a great campaign.
Be well Superfriends!

about 1 year ago
– Thu, Feb 09, 2023 at 02:11:45 PM
Hey Super Friends!
First up, apologies for my delay. Some family issues have kept me away from this campaign. But while I was away, you all blasted past our SECOND STRETCH GOAL!
We did it!! We crossed 12K which unlocks an Artist's Edition of Issue 3 so that you can see Jordi Peréz's beautiful inks all by themselves! Every backer will receive this version of the issue as a PDF. But that means we're ready for our next Stretch Goal at $14K. Let's review what you amazing super friends have unlocked so far!
If we unlock the third STRETCH GOAL, all physical backers will receive a new postcard FOR FREE and it will unlock a NEW ADD-ON for the Jason Inman VARIANT COVER! That's right! Me, the writer of Super Best Friend, will be drawing a Variant Cover to Super Best Friend. I've always wanted to draw a comic book cover so this will be another dream come true. Want to see a rough version of it?
Promise not to laugh?
Ok...
Here it is!
There it is! A rough version of my FIRST EVER COMIC BOOK COVER! And the TOMBSTONE will also read -- "Here lies Captain Terrific" with all the spooky allusions to the ending of our great series.
To help us get to that next goal -- I have two announcements!
FIRST -- I've added a new reward. You can now get a SCRIPT REVIEW by JASON INMAN! That's right I'll be happy to review your comic, television script or pitch document and provide you with detailed feedback! My experience as a Ringo-nominated comic writer, WGA Veteran's Program Alum and my past 4.5 years working in a CBS Television Writer's Room can boost and improve your stories. Scoop up that reward here.
SECOND -- The next original ART PIECE of CAPTAIN TERRIFIC by DAN JURGENS (Booster Gold & Death of Superman) will drop tomorrow at 12pm PST. We were lucky enough to get comics legend Dan Jurgens to draw a variant cover for Issue 2. (Some of those ISSUES are still available as ADD-ONS too). But this unique peice is ASTOUNDING. Dan inked this portrait on a comic backing board, and take a look at in the video below.
STAY TUNED FOR AN UPDATE tomorrow if you'd like to scoop up this unique SUPER BEST FRIEND PIECE!
Pat Shand is a good pal, and also helped me out when building this Kickstarter Page for Issue 3. He's created a lot of amazing books for the Kickstarter space and all of them have been hum dingers. If you don't know his work, you should get on that train fast, because he'll be a Kickstarter millionaire before we know it. Here's what Cerulean Dreams is about in his own words.
CERULEAN DREAMS #1 is a 32-page one-shot comic for mature readers featuring three dazzling fantasy stories from the minds of Pat Shand and Space Between Entertainment, the team that brought you Destiny NY, Cheeky, Thirsty, Prison Witch, and many more enthralling comics.
Cerulean Dreams #1 can be read and entirely enjoyed by new readers. It includes stories based on worlds that returning readers will remember fondly.
Their rewards are fantastic -- so definitely check the campaign out HERE.
Do you adore fairy tales? Are you obsessed with mythology? Do you flip for portal fantasy?
Then you'll love The Obsidian Spindle Saga.
Fairy tales are real. Rose Briar is a diabetic college student without insurance. Without her medication, Rose falls into a diabetic coma. She tumbles into a deep slumber and wakes up in a fantastical place called the Dream Realm, where fairy tales and legends of old are still very much alive. She has one chance to wake up. She must trek across the world, visit the most powerful object in the land, the Obsidian Spindle, and entreat the fates; the only beings powerful enough to send her soul back to Earth.
Russel's novels have always been astounding. Plus, he writes faster than any writer -- I've ever known. Go check out his newest saga and scoop up some of his amazing bonus perks! BACK HERE
Stay tuned to my Twitter, I've been popping up on some Podcasts lately, and next Tuesday will be doing a livestream on my own channel -- www.youtube.com/jawiin

Issue 3 Cameo Page revealed & ADD-ON Spotlight!
about 1 year ago
– Thu, Feb 02, 2023 at 04:14:42 PM
Hello Super Friends!
We are less than $500 from reaching our next Stretch Goal of giving you all an Artist's Version! As I'm so excited that you'll be able to appreciate series artist Jordi Pérez's inks in their full glory, I wanted to point out some Add-Ons that might just push us over the next hurdle.
To begin with, Super Best Friend is a story about Mattie Moore learning his own worth. The normal powered citizen may seem insignificant in a world of superheroes and gods. That's never true. As Super Best Friend comes to an end, Mattie will climb that ladder to his true destiny. It's like how he climbs the rubble during a huge battle in Issue 3 as seen on the page below.
There are some blank figures on the page below. There, the super friends who scooped up the “A Cameo in Super Best Friend! ” Tier will go. Jordi will illustrate their lovely faces as the Assembly rescues them onto this page. AND THERE’S STILL ONE SPOT LEFT! Please, one of you amazing super friends, grab that reward so I don't have to ask Jordi to draw my cat onto this page. I want you all to feel like you are citizens of the Super Best Friend Universe and this page is the perfect way to do it!
I also received proofs of the "You're My Best Friend" Pins. (Labeled as "I'm Your Best Friend Pin in the Add-On Menu.) I think look great and will be a great present to give all my friends for their birthdays.
And here's a video of my favorite Add-On -- The Holographic Stickers!
How to add this ADD-ONS to an existing pledge:
- Step One: Be sure you are logged in and visit the main campaign page (right here!). Click the green "Manage your pledge" button.
-
Step Two: This will take you to the "Change your pledge" page. Click "Change your pledge." This is where you can add the A Cameo in Super Best Friend Tier"
For more Add-Ons continue to Step 3.
-
Step Three: This is just a page that will allow you to change your BASE LEVEL or reaffirm your choice of base level. This is not important for add-ons. You should hit the green button that says "Pledge etc etc" which will be the dollar amount of the base pledge that you chose.
-
Step Four: THIS is the add-on menu! You can now see every item available through the campaign as an add-on. This is the area where you can select your item of choice including the "I'm Your Super Best Friend" Pin and the "Super Best Friend" Holo Sticker.
MORE RAD BOOKS ON KICKSTARTER: The Complete Spider-Squirrel Volume One Ultimate Edition
D.C. Stuelpner (penciler/inker), Ariel Medel (penciler), Juan Castro (inks), Ross Hughes, Nestor Redulla, Jr., and Omi Remalante (colors), HdE (letters), Full Court Press (letters), Vito Delsante (edits), and Charlie McElvy (writer).
Spider-Squirrel is a fun and zany superhero universe in the style of Super Best Friend. In fact, I think Mattie would love take some videos of Spider Squirrel for his channel. This is for the entire collection of over 130 pages, and there's only 8 days left so go check it out here.
CTRL+Z is a four-issue sci-fi action comic book series intended for mature readers*. This is the first time we're bringing CTRL+Z to Kickstarter! Set in a world where Humanity has migrated to a simulation called Cyberscape, this comic is perfect for fans of titles like The Matrix and Ready Player One!
CTRL+Z is set in a world where Humanity has migrated to a post-physical existence, a simulation called Cyberscape. Eidolon is a sentry, a moderator for the simulation. When people start to go missing, it's up to Eidolon to find out the source of the disappearances and their connection to a mysterious yet seductive foe, The Admin.
Chris Moses has developed a hell of a series here. I could see this as a TV Show on HBO or Showtime next week and I would love every minute of it. Packaged with fantastic art -- this is a must back project. Check it out here --https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1967380671/ctrl-z-1-2
Stay tuned for the next SURPRISE ART DROP for DAN JURGENS this FRIDAY. FULL Details soon!
Cheers
Jason Inman
