Welcome to the Astral Vengeance Issue #3 Indiegogo InDemand Campaign!
What is Astral Vengeance?
It's the highly-anticipated FOURTH adventure in the critically-acclaimed "Astral" series!
Action, sci-fi and humor blend in this high-octane adventure about a disgraced ex-astronaut (Jonathan DeVane) who must assemble a rag-tag team of misfits— including one of the ENEMY ("Lila")— to stop a devastating attack on Earth by malevolent extraterrestrials called "Astrals"!
Can DeVane and his pack of underdogs save our planet? Will Lila betray them?
Please help us by pledging for a book (or a complete set of books) and find out!
If you're new to "Astral", don't worry— we make it easy for you to catch-up (see below)!
In this campaign, Issue #3 contains a full comic book's worth of beautiful full-color pages upon which epic sci-fi, action, adventure... and vengeance... is unleashed!
DEMON COVERS!
For a limited time, snag one of these ultra-exclusive AV#1 "Demon" covers!
Never offered before anywhere— and now ONLY offered via online crowdfunding— these extremely-limited cover designs are sure to be the gems of your collection!
These books were originally made as dealer-to-dealer promo items for "Astral Vengeance" and thus have never been offered to the public— until now! Some of them are already gone...
The "Demon variants" have already been printed and will ship along with your order!
- "Grey Demon" variant: Only 50 printed! (3rd-lowest quantity run of any "Astral" book!)
- "Olive Demon" variant: Only 40 printed! (2nd-lowest quantity run of any "Astral" book!)
- "Red Demon" variant: Only 25 printed (lowest quantity run of any "Astral" book!)
Simply "add them on" as "add-ons" to any print-book perk order!
You can get one, or two— or a complete set of all three!

Jay, why are you doing this?
I'm passionate about "Astral", and over the years I've grown to absolutely love it— as many others do— and I'm sure you will, too!
Through the "Astral" comics and graphic novels and their character-driven stories, we explore core themes about humanity and challenge the "human condition"— by way of a gripping and action-packed thrill ride! Also, explosions!
The cool part is: Unlike a lot of heavy-handed sci-fi books out there, Astral isn’t afraid to splash-in a little humor here-and-there, so it’s upbeat, engaging, and— most importantly— FUN!
We're bringing you these books via Indiegogo because it's a great way to raise funds for our production and printing costs, as well as interact with YOU— the best and most supportive online community for comics in the world!
PLUS: You get to be the "cool kid" on the block with the FIRST COPY of our new book!

Best of all:
I’d like to offer YOU— the Indiegogo community, my friends and peers— the opportunity to be part of our new comic book launch! By pledging, you’ll be among the FIRST people to get your hands on Astral Vengeance Issue #2 and some of our super-cool perks!

Risk is as minimal as possible!
You won't have to wait long! The books and perks are already paid for— and "Astral Vengeance" Issue #2 is very nearly finished. We expect digital and print books to be distributed after year-end in the first part of 2023, probably around March or April. Printed books should follow shortly, thereafter— the major factor being paper supply.

Risks and challenges
Having personally backed over 300 comics projects across several crowdfunding platforms, I have a deep appreciation for what it means to launch a campaign and ask for your support!
I also have a keen understanding of how crowdfunding platforms work, having completed fulfillment for individual campaigns associated with "Astral Genesis", "Astral Evolution", and "Astral Alliance", as well as the "Astral Thrill3gy" right here on Indiegogo. As such, I'm confident that my team and I will be able deliver your perks as promised, upon successful completion of the campaign.
In addition, my team and I have over 35 years' experience in comics and collectibles fulfillment— so please rest assured that we’ll have no problem shipping your books and other perks to you promptly as soon as we receive them from our printer.
With overseas production there is always a possibility that delays can occur in the phases of printing, shipping, and customs inspections. As with our previous campaigns, I will be monitoring the process closely, and you have my assurance that if there is any schedule slippage I will communicate it to you (along with our plan for addressing it) as soon as possible.
In addition, supply-chain and shipping delays are presently occurring due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. If such conditions affect the fulfilment of this campaign, I will communicate the situation— and our contingency plan— to you at my earliest possible opportunity.
Note to backers residing outside of the United States who pledge for physical (mailed) perks: We cannot be responsible for import/duty fees your home country may charge (we haven't had any reports of import/duty fees from backers of previous "Astral" campaigns— but due to the possibility of laws changing in other countries we cannot absolutely guarantee that it will not occur).
REFUND POLICY: Backers may request refunds through Indiegogo as per Indiegogo's TSA and official refund policy. If a refund is granted, all perks associated with the refunded pledge will be considered forfeited. After the refund time window defined by Indiegogo's refund policy expires, no refunds will be provided, since all money raised through the campaign will, at that time, be fully committed to the implementation of the project.
PLEDGE WITH CONFIDENCE!
As always, all of your "Astral" perks are fully backed by the "Pet Piranha Entertainment Guarantee" (see main campaign page). Please contact me if there is anything amiss with your perks package, and my team and I will do whatever is within our power to make it right!
Your friend & fellow comics fan,
-Jay
