DAVE STEWART HAS FINISHED CHAPTER 2 COLORS!!
Doug here with the latest update. Dave Stewart just finished up coloring chapter 2 of Narco and has moved on to chapter 3. The Narco team is blown away by what this mad genius keeps turning in. It's just stunning. Here's a few pages as an appetizer:
AND IF THAT WASN'T EXCITING ENOUGH...
Laura Martin has finished coloring the LIL' BIRDIE short story and Ed Dukeshire has turned in the letters. The short is ready for publication. :) NO! I wouldn't just leave without giving you a little teaser.
THANK YOU!
We really do appreciate everyone's continued support as we finish up the graphic novel. I didn't know what to think about this whole Kickstarter business, but you folks are the best.
PROJECTS WE LOVE
Here are two new Kickstarters we thought you might like.
Caffeinated Hearts
Jonathan Hedrick & Stefano Cardoselli
Caffeinated Hearts is a 24-page slice-of-life one-shot comic book set in a coffee shop with a cyberpunk backdrop. It combines Mr. Hedrick's love of storytelling with Mr. Cardoselli's dynamic artistic talent!

Good Boy v2 #1: Out to Pasture
Garrett Gunn, Christina Blanch, Kit Wallis, & Dave Lentz
Set in a world where humans and dogs are equals, Good Boy is a thrill-packed treat for anyone who loves action, dogs, and good stories.
Flint Sparks and his human Jon, both former mercenaries, have settled down in quiet retirement from an industry where the job is supposed to be forever. But, unlike anyone before, they found a way out. However, this new life, filled with peace and joy, is not to be. In the dead of night, some of their former "colleagues", who disagree with their decision to retire, break into their home and murder Jon, leaving Flint alive in the bloody aftermath.
That was their FIRST mistake.

DANIEL HAS FINISHED INKS!!
Doug here again. I wanted everyone to know Daniel has been working his tail off on NARCO pages and just finished inking the last page this week. What can I say? The guy’s a beast! Now that he’s done, we’ll be moving on to the next phase of the project, which will be coloring, followed closely by lettering, and finally, book design.
We’ll have a better grasp on what all this means as far as getting the book to the printer in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for the next update by the end of next month.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
The NARCO and PLASTIC teams would like to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season. Be merry and be safe.

Here are two new Kickstarters we thought you might like.
The Book of Maggor Thoom
James Turner
On the dark and shadowy surface of a living black hole resides one Maggor Thoom, demon. After endless eons of success as the star employee of the Insanity Acquisition Department, he has lost his passion and purpose. Yet he knows all to well that those who do not drink the Antediluvian Kool-Aid are soon fed to the ravenous Maw.
To save himself from annihilation, Mr. Thoom sets off on a desperate journey of self-discovery: he flees The Void and seeks help on a small, blue orb known as Earth.

Usagi Jane and the Skullbunnies
Ben Seto
Usagi Jane and The Skullbunnies is about a girl named Usagi Jane who happened to come across a skull that was partially buried in the ground. Upon uncovering the skull, Usagi Jane discovers that it is a bunny skull. Before returning the skull back to the ground, she was inclined to build a small body for it made of dirt. After placing the skull on to its new dirt body, the bunny suddenly comes back to life…. from that moment on, Usagi Jane and The Skullbunnies form a bond and go on many adventures together where they spend most of their time trying to help others.

FROM OUR HEARTS
Doug here once again. I don't think words can accurately convey how grateful the entire NARCO and PLASTIC teams are for your backing and support. We couldn't bring projects like this to life without you and every single pledge, share, and like. You folks are amazing!
THANK YOU!!
A VIDEO "THANK YOU" FROM DANIEL & DOUG
$22,859... You know that means? STICKERS!!
If you've been following me on the socials, you know I've been pushing incessantly for my possum sticker. Well, you folks made my dreams come true.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
From the entirety of the NARCO and PLASTIC teams.
We are funded!

We made it! Thank you all for the support. We love making these comics for all of you, so getting a successfully funded campaign is about as good as it gets.
Now, let's have some fun and hit some of these stretch goals! As of this writing, we have a little over 24 hours left (campaign ends at 4:12 PM EST tomorrow). Doug is just dying to get his sticker sets printed, I know everyone wants to add the signature plates into the books, but I'm a printing nerd, so getting the spot-uv added to all the covers is what I'm hoping for most.
With all that being said, we wouldn't be here without y'all, so keep spreading the word and let's try and get all these extras added to your order at no cost to you!
Here's a link to the campaign if you want to share it online or with friends: http://kck.st/2ZwBT4H
Thank you!

Final 3 Days & Another New "Flash Sale" Print
almost 5 years ago
– Tue, Nov 16, 2021 at 08:59:16 AM
ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT!!
Wait! What?! Yep, it’s true. Our NARCO/PLASTIC Kickstarter will end at 4:12pm EST on Thursday, November 18th. Let’s use these last few days to spread the word. A simple share here and there would mean the world to us. We want to get these limited-edition hardcovers into as many story-hungry hands as we can.
ANOTHER FREE "FLASH SALE" PLASTIC PRINT
Yep, you read that correctly. We’ve decided to throw in a new 6 x 9 PLASTIC print by Daniel Hillyard FREE for every physical tier backer. For those who backed this campaign on day 1, this will be your second free print! But we're not leaving the rest of you out-- everyone who has backed us via a physical tier up until now or does so between now and noon Wednesday, November 17th will also get this new print as a reward.
This print is from the special SPAWN inspired cover that Image Comics asked Daniel to do for PLASTIC #2 (part of their "SPAWN Month" promotion). Personally, I think it’s the best one of the bunch, but I may be a tad biased. Check it out for yourself below and see what your think!
STRETCH GOAL REMINDERR
We still have some fun stretch goals left to unlock.
$22,500 - Narco/Plastic Sticker Sheet
$25,000 – Daniel and Doug signatures added in all books
$27,500 – Sweet spot UV added to all books

PROJECTS WE LOVE
As always, we would be remiss if we didn’t support our friends and colleagues trying their best to create their own great comics via Kickstarter. Here’s some picks from the team.
Scott Lost, Eburonson, Bobby Ramos, and Joaquin Pereyra
Imagine you had a dead-end job that you were held highly accountable for. Were an overachieving college student or had trouble even keeping a job all, all while trying to start out as promising superheroes. A group of young heroes must deal with the mundane in order to experience the extraordinary, all on their 2nd Shift.

Scott Wilke, Arturo Mesa, and Dave Krampus and the Belsnickel were behind the horrific plot to kill Kris Kringle and end Christmas as we know it. Now Periwinkle, one of Santa’s littlest helpers, will exact bloody and gruesome revenge. With the help of Prancer, the last reindeer alive, Periwinkle will venture through the depths of the Black Forest to the terrifying Krampus City as he scratches name after name off of his naughty list.
The only spirit this Christmas season is the spirit of vengeance.

The Illusion Witch Tells the adventure of Aadya Locke, a celebrated illusionist that is reluctantly pulled into a breathtaking world of real magic.
