Happy Halloween!!

I hope you and your family enjoy the holiday safely, and with lots and lots of peanut butter + chocolate goodies! Have fun!!!

New Add-On!

I moved my Xion Studios products to Freestyle Komics after the launch of the first issue of Spider-Squirrel. The #1 issue available on this campaign in the "Physical Ketchup" reward tier is the *new* Freestyle Komics trade dress first printing (FSK), which is now available as an Add-On. If you want to get more of the *original* Xion Studios published first prints, that has also been provided as a new Add-On, but it's limited to the stock on-hand!

Collectors will want to get both First Printings to complete their collections! Update your Pledge and check these Add-Ons out today!

Comparison of trade dress. Xion Studios (original; left) and FSK (new; right). Both available as Add-Ons. Note the incorrect pricing on the original (should be $6.99USD).

Crossover Print!

I mentioned previously that if you back Michael Watson's Emerald Quest #1 and my Spider-Squirrel #2 at a physical reward level, you'd get an exclusive crossover print. Well, here's the final art for that print!

Art by Michael Watson and Saul Shavanas. Cheers!!

Another Kickstarter To Enjoy!

Spider-Stray Panda!!! Wait... what?!
over 2 years ago – Fri, Oct 29, 2021 at 02:27:49 AM

If you didn't know...

Vito Delsante, who is my editor, one of my letterers, one of my writers, one of my fam -- and one of the co-creators of Stray, with Sean Izaakse (Fantastic Four: Life) -- is also running a current Kickstarter Campaign for Stray: Volume 3! Not only that, but if you back both of our campaigns at a physical level, you can get an exclusive crossover print by artist Ariel Medel (Evil Ernie). Check out this rough layout!

Pizza and burritos, everything a growing superhero needs in their diet.

If you're a digital only backer for either campaign, hopefully this goodie is enough to get your upgrade to physical for both of these campaigns. 😉

All-Ages Spider-Squirrel & Trash Panda!

We've already started work on an unplanned, but now planned, all-ages digest-sized TPB featuring Spider-Squirrel, Trash Panda, and a bunch of Xion Universe characters. It may also feature the first appearance of a brand-new character created by friend & cohort Scott Fogg (Phileas Reid Knows We're Not Alone)!

I'll post updates as things progress through the Xion Universe books, but expect this all-ages digest to hit sometime in 2022! Here's a teaser from one of the stories:

He, uh... has that affect on the ladies.

STAY TUNED!

Found this KS...

...backed it, and thought I'd share with you. If you're a fan of Power Rangers or similar heroes, you should check this one out:

Super Scouts: The Collected Edition

20 years past their prime, the actors of the iconic Super Scouts TV Show have the chance to claim REAL cosmic powers.

WOW That Was Fun...!

BCC Post-Con Update

I think I can speak for nearly everyone when I say that Baltimore Comic-con was an outstanding show! I boothed up with Vito Delsante who just launched a Kickstarter of his own today (more on that below), and hung out with Daniel Kalban (American Dreams), Kevin Powers (Atomic Thunderbolt, Patriot-1), Jamal Igle (Molly Danger, The Wrong Earth, Supergirl), Kat Calamia (Slice of Life, They Call Her Dancer), Phil Falco (Haunted), Afua Richardson (Shuri, Black Panther), Dean Haspiel (The Red Hook, The Fox), and so many others in the beautiful inner-harbor of Baltimore. Briefly chatted with Billy Tucci, too, whom I haven't seen in more than 5 years (he & I first met at HeroesCon in 2005; my wife was a big fan of Shi). Finally met Marcus Williams & Greg Burnham (Tuskegee Heirs), which was also great! 💙

And yes, I'm totally name-dropping but with a purpose: some, most, or maybe all of those wonderful folks will be working on Xion Universe projects at some point with me. 😉😎

One Week In, 80% Funded!

Enjoyed some time on Michael Watson's Chat & Draw last night! He drew a really bad@$$ crossover piece for our two campaigns. If you back *both* campaigns at a physical rewards tier, you will get this exclusive crossover print as a free bonus, if both campaigns are successful! Check out this (currently uncolored) piece from The MostEPIC Artist:

Baltimore Comic-con!
over 2 years ago – Mon, Oct 25, 2021 at 12:28:27 AM

Quick note that if you’re at Baltimore Comic-con this weekend, come find me at Booth 3310 with Vito Delsante! Also, please go visit my friends and original table mates at Tables F8-F9!!

I ceded my table space to Daniel, Kat, and Phil when Vito invited me down to his booth, which gave them some extra space! Go check out their goodies!!

We are just about $1700 short of hitting goal this weekend — let’s push through! Share and spread the word about this KS!

Thank you!! Charlie

Signal Boost & Challenge!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Oct 21, 2021 at 06:48:21 AM

CHOOSE MY CHALLENGE!!

If we can push the book to fully-funded by noon (EDT) on Friday 10/22, then you can pick the challenge I do on livestream!

The campaign only needs $1831 more to be funded, and if we can do that by the deadline above, I'll let the 200th backer choose my poison:

1. Another slice of gigantic pineapple pizza 🤮 from Benny Vitali's

2. I'll do the Paqui one-chip challenge

3. I'll do the 7-11 one-chip pizza & Liquid Death challenge

4. I'll do the BWW Carolina Reaper Blazing Wings Challenge

Whichever is selected, I'll have the real-life Trash Panda, Jeremy Board join me again!

So, go back it now and choose my fate! The 200th Backer can elect to take a poll of our Backers, if desired, and you can ALL choose my death sentence... Dun-dun-DUUUUNNNN!!!!

➡️➡️➡️ http://kickstarter.spider-squirrel.com


So, share, update, tell yo' momma to loan you a fiddy-spot ($61.59 CAD), and get this thing funded before Baltimore Comic-con!

That's all! 💙💙💙
