Howdy Folks!
I'm Cody Fernandez, Writer/Creator of Jack Irons: The Steel Cowboy, and "Editor" for IronVerse Comics, delivering you the best in the Weird Space West!

We just need one more ALL IMPORTANT ingredient...

THE STORY
A Reincarnated Immortal wanders through Galactic Armageddon seeking Purpose and Freedom.
Jack Irons: The Steel Cowboy tells the story of a man trapped in two kinds of eternity. His mind and soul bears the memories of 100's, maybe thousands, of past lives, and his current body, is unkillable and immortal.
IronVerse Comics takes this poor, unfortunate soul, and lets him loose in a galactic-wide "Weird-Western" Apocalypse.
Our universe is fractured into the 4 Horsemen's sick whims, a cracked mirror of sentient life's deepest lusts and fears, made manifest in excess.
Earth is a reservation kept "safe" by a corrupt Alien Government, trying to maintain it's facist control over what "free" galaxy is left, by any means necessary.
Humanity lives, cowers, and makes do, alongside alien refugees and pilgrims, behind the impenetrable walls of New Deadwood.
When reality belongs to Evil,
Heroes are INEVITABLE.
Welcome to IronVerse Comics.
Enjoy the ride.

In Issue #1 we introduced you to Jack's mind.
"Mr Fernandez has used a shotgun when he should have used a sniper rifle. But he has nonetheless hit his target. Jack Irons: The Steel Cowboy #1 is a frothy, fresh start to what we hope is a long-lived series. " - World Comic Review on Issue #1 https://www.worldcomicbookreview.com/2018/12/31...
In #2 we showed you his world.
"This comic has a splash of Judge Dredd, a shot of The Umbrella Academy’s zaniness, and a big pour of Grimjack’s Munden’s Bar. Jack Irons: The Steel Cowboy #2 is chaotic, anti-erudite, and enormous fun." - World Comic Review on Issue #2 https://www.worldcomicbookreview.com/2019/09/13...
Now, see his history and begin his journey.

DELIVERY
I know our budget which I will outline below, I know how to get these made, and most importantly, I've learned SO DAMN MUCH from our first campaign.
December is the foreseeable worst case.
I went far out, to avoid underestimating delivery time. We should deliver before then. Unless fate UNDENIABLY AND UNAVOIDABLY decides otherwise...In which case I promise all due measures will be taken to get back on course, and you will be alerted, ASAP!

BUDGET NEEDED
$10,000
I don't discuss Artist's rates without permission, but suffice it to say, this total includes a great BUMP up from what they received with prior issues, is above most Indie standards, and still, in my opinion, is not enough for their amazing talent, and greatly appreciated and priceless TIME.
Kinda gotta pay for other things too like printing, shipping and the extra goodies. ALL covered by the total above, at least at time of launch. ( ed. Times have changed since funding, HOWEVER, we are still ON track, though with an admittedly slimmer margin of error.)
STRETCH GOALS: CLOSED Unfortunately...

#1: $12,500 *UNLOCKED*
