Hey everyone!

Scorpiana issue #3 is live!!! Elena Santos' mission to rescue her sister continues! But first, she must contend with an unexpected visit from the mysterious Carter Maxwell and his personal assassin, the mysterious and beautiful Shadha! When the two women collide, the sparks fly in more places than one! Meanwhile, what insidious plan does the villainous Pluto Mohr have for Elena's helpless sibling, Maria? And the QUEST team discovers just what has been sabotaging their weapons; will they discover who ordered it?

Scorpiana: Revelations is a 25-page full-color comic with interior art by CB Zane, a script by Michael Shoemaker, and interior colors by Andrea Celestini. There is a killer cover lineup that includes CB Zane, Keith Garvey, Shikarii, Ash Madi, and Jeff Spokes, and possibly more as we go along! Check it out and feel the burn!

Scorpiana #3 update, plus Mite & other cool stuff
almost 3 years ago – Wed, Jun 30, 2021 at 07:17:03 AM

Hey there, Scorp-a-maniacs!

Here is a quick update on the status of Scorpiana #3: It's in production as we speak! Our target is to launch the campaign in early August, so mark your calendars. Artist extraordinaire CB Zane is laying down some unreal lines on the interiors, and colorist nonpareil Andrea Celestini is making those lines pop. We're getting variant covers and other artwork back, and it's looking sensational. Check out some covers-in-progress!

Scorpiana - Shikarii
Scorpiana - Monori Rogue

 The final versions will be in glorious color, of course, but we thought you'd appreciate an early peek. Other contributors include Ash Madi, Ariel Diaz, Gregorio Lagarino, Alfred Trujillo, Jeff Spokes, and of course series artist CB Zane. This issue will be the hottest yet! Stay tuned for more updates!

Related to this project, CB's own campaign for The Mighty Mite is entering its final 3 days! It's not far from 500 backers, so if you haven't bought in yet, now is the time. Here's the link -- let's help it to finish strong!

Another project that's winding down is Corey Hardiman's awesome Sister Mercy #4. As of press time, there are just 37 hours to go. Check it out if you haven't already!

Finally, I'd like to call your attention to something a little different. Filmmaker Joe Badon, writer/director behind Sister Tempest and The God Inside My Ear, has launched a campaign for his short film The Wheel of Heaven, which will be a 20- to 30-minute psychedelic science fiction/arthouse mystery.  He intends it to be a cross between The Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Hour of the Wolf. If that sounds like fun then click through and check it out!

That's it for now. Stay tuned for more updates! The summer is just heating up!

Hey, all you Scorp-a-maniacs!

The first order of business with this update is to thank you once again for helping bring Scorpiana #2 to life. These things don't happen without your help, and everyone involved is grateful beyond words. The adventures of Elena Santos will continue this year, with a late spring/early summer target date for issue #3. Be ready!

Next up is letting everyone know that the senses-shattering climax to Outpost 426's newest project, Into the Suck, by C.B. Zane and Keith Thomas, launches today at 6:00 PM EST!

Into the Suck

If you've followed the adventures of Ursula Stormholder and her crew to this stage, you can't miss out on the finale! Here's the link -- click through and climb aboard!

Finally, you probably noticed that we offered translites in the last campaign, which in case you've forgotten are durable, clear prints that can be backlit like the art you see on pinball machines for a very cool effect. Some of you ordered them but maybe weren't sure how best to display them (custom translite frames can be pretty pricey), or would have if you'd known how. I submit to you a cheap, awesome way to do it! Here's how mine turned out:

Translite - Unlit
Translite - Lit

Here was my solution. I got a super-thin LED light board (normally used for tracing pictures) from Amazon (there are many to choose from) for about $20. I put a couple of adhesive plastic sawtooth hangers on the back and put a couple of screws in the wall to mount it. It plugs into a USB charger (not included) that I stuck in a socket to power it. I used a little of that clear, adhesive Alien Tape stuff to affix the picture to the surface. Boom! Backlit art! There's a model that costs about $10 more that has little magnets you can apply to the corners for easy/quick swapping of artwork that you might consider as well:

Magnetic A4 LED Artcraft Tracing Light Pad 4 Light Box

Anyway, there you go. I hope it gives those of you with the translites an idea of how to get the most out of them, and show those of you on the fence how they can really spruce up your décor. Look for more such options in the future!

Anyway, take care, and I hope all is well. Don't forget to check out Into the Suck! It's gonna rock!
