SO, YOU'RE GOING TO HELL...

What are you going to do about it? Mitch Bernthal is a burned-out enforcer for the Red Animal biker gang. The only things he has to his name are a lifetime of bad choices and knuckles of fuckin’ iron. But there must be some God in heaven because he begins to hear a voice. A voice telling him he’s headed straight for Hell unless he changes his path. So, instead of torturing a snitch like he’s ordered, he guns down his gang boss and sets his world on fire.

Hunted and wounded, he finds himself at the bottom of a ravine where his blood leaks into the soil that is the grave site of the ancient and holy Leviathan Warrior. He needs an avatar in this realm to stop an ancient evil that has been unleashed. The Myth Slayer has been trapped for a thousand years, but his prison the Killing Tree has been cut down and he walks the Earth once more waiting to consume all faiths, all hopes, all beliefs and enslave the world. Mitch may be wretched and broken in both body and soul, but he will have to do. 

Mitch pulls the Warrior’s mighty helm and weapon from the dirt. His “blade” of choice is the Jawbone of the ancient biblical monster, The Leviathan, whom the Warrior slew. Mitch may be a criminal and a villain, but he's given a chance to change that, and, just maybe, he can fix his past and save the future. And even if he can't save himself, maybe this ancient warrior can heal his ex-wife. Another person whose life he's ruined. Mitch becomes Jawbone Death, and with new power and a voice in his head, he’s going to rage a war he will most likely lose. But fucking it all up, is what he's done his whole life.

Jawbone Death is a story of grit and regret, anger and overwhelming violence. It is for those who love Heavy Metal, Lobo, crazy monsters, and comics that kickass.

Story by Adam Lawson (The Exiled, The Kill Journal, Kids & Monsters), art by the amazing Jason Crager (Hammer, The Kill Journal).

This bad boy was colored by the one and only MIKE SPICER (Wonder Woman: Dead Earth, Murder Falcon) and has a foil finish that will knock your socks off. 

NICK PITARRA FOIL COVER

You heard that right. The legendary Nick Pitarra (Ax Wielder Jon) has granted us an original cover for the book. It is an epic thing of beauty. This special cover will be numbered and also foil-printed. It features the villain of our story, the Myth Slayer. The only way to get it will be through crowdfunding.

IS THERE A DIGITAL VERSION?

The only way to get a digital copy is by signing up for my Substack. The issue will drop there right after the campaign ships. Everyone signed up, will get this first issue for FREE. It is my way of saying thank you for taking the journey with me.

T-SHIRT + PATCH ADD-ONS

If you're like me, you want to rep your tribe. You want the STUFF. You can do that in two ways, and both can be added to any tier.  

The first is the Jawbone Death T-shirt, which will make you stand out at any con.  It will let the world know you do not bend the knee to anyone and take pride in your hobby. The t-shirt is a stone-gray premium Bella Canvas with a high thread count. This is the good stuff. Not that boxy Comic-Con stuff. We have sizes S to XXL.

*Art may change but will remain badass.

The second is the Jawbone Death patch, which makes any jacket, jumpsuit, or bag you own legendary. 

*Note: if you signed-up on the pre-launch list, you get the patch for FREE and we will track your email address, so you don't have to do anything.

THE CGC EXPERIENCE

By popular demand, I am offering a CGC-graded experience. Both quality and signature will be graded and verified. If you want to level up your collector's game, this is the way to do it. I am only offering 25 copies delivered this way, and they will each be SIGNED & NUMBERED (the other version of the book will NOT be numbered). Ordering this tier ALSO gets you an additional ungraded copy of the book for reading.

A GLIMPSE INTO THE PAST

This is the book that started it all for Jason and me, THE KILL JOURNAL. A tale of survivors hunting down the slashers who took everything from them. It is 132-pages of insane action/horror.  You can add it to your order for a measly $15. This cover and edition were not released with the original campaign and are a rare gem. The book is already printed and ready to ship.
