Rylend Grant's PEACEKEEPERS 1-4 launches in just FIVE DAYS (1/29)!
about 2 months ago – Wed, Jan 24, 2024 at 03:06:17 PM

Hey friends,
  Just a reminder... the latest installment of my twisted, howl-at-the-freakin'-moon crime drama THE PEACEKEEPERS launches on Kickstarter in LESS THAN A WEEK (January 29th)!

We are currently at 142 followers! Please help us get to 150! Check out our PRELAUNCH PAGE and click the green NOTIFY ME ON LAUNCH button.


THE PEACEKEEPERS is a dark, quirky crime drama in the vein of Fargo or No Country for Old Men. It’s a love letter to case-a-season police dramas like True Detective and The Wire, to Elmore Leonard novels, and to comic masterpieces like Criminal and 100 Bullets. Now tell me that doesn't sound cool!




Issues 1 & 2 of THE PEACEKEEPERS - launched via Kickstarter last year - received RAVE reviews. You won't believe what we have in store for Issues 3 & 4. They're going to MELT YOUR FACE!




THE PEACEKEEPERS comes to you from the same twisted team that brought you 10 rip-roaring issues of Action Lab: Danger Zone's much-lauded political action thriller ABERRANT.



Aberrant made over a dozen critics ten-best lists. It won a Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Award (for BEST VILLAIN) and was nominated for two others (BEST WRITER & BEST SINGLE ISSUE) and the critics raved:
 

-“Go home, other comics people. Rylend Grant and Zsombor Huszka just killed the game…” (Charles Pulliam-Moore – i09) 
 

-“ABERRANT offers an intense, near-cinematic reading experience that incites excitement and inspires interest for issues to come.” (The Brazen Bull)


-“Aberrant flat-out works. You have visceral action scenes. Personalities practically ooze out of the page. Honestly, this is the kind of storytelling that the big publishers are missing.” (Big Comic Page)


-“…a bleak, dangerous and serious story with a lot at stake…. If you like revenge tales, military thrillers, and superheroes, ‘Aberrant’ has it all.” (Spartantown) 


-“ABERRANT #1 is a game-changer at Action Lab: Danger Zone. You’ll become captivated almost immediately… The creative team put together one of the most seamless, cohesive, and dynamic collaborations I’ve seen this year on the indie scene.” (PopCultHQ)


So, I promise you, you are in for a real treat here with THE PEACEKEEPERS. Sign up HERE to be notified when the campaign goes live!


Thanks! I hope all is well with you and yours.

FOUR DAYS LEFT to get THE JUMP on Kickstarter

Hey Peacekeepers,

A heads up that you have just FOUR DAYS LEFT to get your copy of my astral projection thriller THE JUMP here on Kickstarter. WWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!

The Jump is a kick-you-in-the-teeth paranoid shocker set in the world of astral projection. It's a smart, high-concept sci-fi dance full of meaty twists and turns. It is Inception meets The Bourne Identity… if it were dripping with macabre and directed by David Fincher.

Did you miss out on previous issues? NO PROBLEM! Here is your chance to catch up/hop aboard the fun train!
