You only have a few days to back Threat Quotient, go to kickstarter (here) and check it out!
This week on ComicsOdyssey we do something different: We are publishing early for Henry to walk us through his Kickstarter which closes in a few days. Old-school superhero ethics collide with a chaotic 2020 alternate reality. Expect behind-the-scenes art notes, a quick tour of the major players (Ramjet, Juggernaut, Phantom Force, the Hippie Twins), and the story beats Henry used to translate mid-century heroism into a modern, multiversal showdown.
Threat Quotient is the first graphic novel in Tales of the Earthbound--a series of epic ensemble superhero adventures destined for perfect-bound print editions. Reclaim that lost joy of great comic book heroes and take your first step into adventure!
