You Were Part of our Giving Tuesday and Planting Trees Today!
18 days ago – Tue, Dec 03, 2024 at 04:53:32 PM

Hello,

I am popping in on Giving Tuesday to share with you that because of The Killing Stone's successful Kickstarter, Wicked Tree Press has given a donation to the USDA Forest Service to plant trees to support the health of the national forests. This donation was in celebration of the MSSM: The Killing Stone Kickstarter and our awesome backers. Giving to an organization that plants and cares for trees is always a part of our successful Kickstarters. Thank you for being part of this one. 

Here is the certificate the USDA Forest Service sent us when we made the donation today. 

Not only will the USDA Forest Service plant trees with our donation but those trees will be protected and maintained by the organization. 

Shel and the entire crew want the world to always have access to those deep, dark woods. 

Thank you for making this kind of donation possible with your generous support of the series.

Finally, we are making the final tweaks on The Killing Stone and will send to the printer this week. The guys over at Metal Ninja Studios are doing a great job working with me on this step. We've also ordered the pins, stickers, and prints. We are right on schedule.

I will be sending out backerkit surveys very soon.  When I do, I'll send all backers a direct message. 

In the meantime, be there for each other, and stay spooky!

Jessica

Thank you for a Wonderful Campaign!

The Kistune and The Killing Stone Limited Metal Print
about 2 months ago – Thu, Oct 24, 2024 at 06:56:51 AM

Good morning amazing backers,

I'm excited to reveal the limited-run collector metal print for The Killing Stone! We do a metal print for each comic and graphic in the series, and I've loved them all. I adore this one!

The beautiful and haunting Kitsune and the Killing Stone illustration is by Anna Wieszczyk.  We will ONLY PRINT 25 of these gorgeous comic-sized metal prints so when they are gone, that's it. This item is now available as an add-on so you can scoop one up if you so desire. 

If you ordered the collector bundle, this print is included in it.

Soon, I will be sharing the campaign's playlist for you all to enjoy! It will include songs about betrayal, revenge, and moving on. So, keep an eye out. 

Finally, a campaign that I really dig and have backed is for the comic series Mutiny: Black Girl Magic 1-2 published by Fair Square Comics. I'm a fan and am super excited for the next one. If you like magic and inter-dimensional travel go check out this campaign.

She's back! And the inter-dimensional roller-coaster is just starting in a world without magik… Can she survive the ride?

Stay Spooky and best of luck getting those Halloween costumes in order. Despite my best intentions, I will be throwing mine together last minute this year. I hope your costume or just cool Halloween shirt brings you much joy and no stress.

Night Wolf Cross Promo
2 months ago – Mon, Oct 21, 2024 at 09:47:21 AM

Happy Monday Team Monster!

I'm thrilled to announce an exciting cross promo with the Night Wolf comic series! We've partnered up once again with Rob Multari and his Wolf Pack to bring to you an epic and adorable sticker.

Because we have our own outcast hound character, Barg, in The Killing Stone, we could not resist doing another cute sticker featuring a misfit werewolf. This sticker is of Shel and Night Wolf fighting together designed by artist and graphic designer Mark Mactal (Under the Bridge, Keeper, Pistil, A.R.G.U.S.)

Definitely go check out Rob Multari's Night Wolf series. I'm a big fan and have already backed it. If you end up backing both our campaigns at the physical level, you'll get the Shel/Night Wolf sticker as part of your rewards.

Night Wolf #1-9: Urban Fantasy Werewolf Coming-of-Age Drama

After discovering his werewolf lineage, a young man is reluctantly thrown into a supernatural war.

Again, we so appreciate you being here and hope your week is off to a legendary start!
