Title: Keller #1
\nWriter: Trevor Luckman
\nPenciler\/Inker: Ryan Gutierrez
\nColorist: Ashley Christensen
\nLetter: Fred C. Stresing<\/p>\n

Summary: Martin Keller a 700 year old vampire has to deal with his new life after he undergoes a procedure that makes him human. Keller is now hunted by a group of vampires determined to kill him for betraying his race. As a civil war among vampires rages, he must protect himself and his friends without his supernatural abilities.<\/p>\n

\n

The Kickstarter from Rogue Paradigm<\/a> is for the first issue, but just peeking at the images… well, it’s worth the $3500 they’re asking for. Kind of reminds me of the better issues of Sandman, a title I really enjoyed.<\/p>\n

Good color, clear lettering (though the baddies talk like Death — black bubbles, white lettering, jaggedy font), and an interesting story: Vampire undergoes a procedure to turn him back into a human, which pisses off the Occidio, vampires that want to keep humans as their blood slaves and want to bring Keller down for betraying his own kind. He’s got a group of human friends — both mundane and magical — and he’s vowed to do whatever to protect his friends and his new human life.<\/p>\n

Looks good, very actiony, and basically a title I really want to see in print. Go check ’em out.<\/p>\n

\""Keller,<\/a><\/p>\n

From Rogue Paradigm:<\/p>\n

Is Keller to be an ongoing series?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes! Although this Kickstarter funds us to make Issue #1 there’s a long term plan for Keller including many years of issues. Keller is Rogue Paradigm’s first planned ongoing series and we have exciting plans laid out for the characters and story! But until we can lay out future plans, we need to get the funds to make at least one issue to get the comic into the marketplace.<\/p>\n

What size is Keller going to be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Comic book printing can be a very technical business having to do with dimensions, trim areas, and bleeding, but we will spare no expense to offer the best Standard Comic Book Printing size with full bleed pages at dimensions roughly at 6.875 x 10.500.<\/p>\n

Over three grand! Where’s this money going?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Making a comic is an expensive business and generally without much profit at the end of the day. The money is being used to support our artists to take time off other paid projects so they can solely focus on Issue #1.<\/p>\n

Also, the bulk of the money goes to paying for the best possible printing of Issue #1 and to get you the highest quality rewards promised.<\/p>\n

Rogue Paradigm founder and writer Trevor Luckman is NOT taking one dollar from this project. All money goes to the Pencil\/Inker, Colorist, Letterer, and fulfilling the highest quality product offered as rewards.<\/p>\n

Do prizes after 15 dollars include the variant cover or the regular cover?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good question! We forgot to mention this early on. 10 dollar pledge gets you the regular Keller cover. 14 dollar gets you the variant Keller cover. Any pledge 15 dollars and more you get to CHOOSE between a variant cover or regular cover. And any pledge after this amount also includes the comic being signed by the Keller Team!<\/p>\n
