Mythics and The Mythoverse
Mythics is part of a line of contemporary fantasy comics known as the Mythoverse. The first campaign was funded successfully just over a year ago, and despite a hiccup in fulfillment, we were able to deliver the inaugural issues of Adobe Kroger: Dame Commander, Changeling: An Urban Fairytale, and Mythics.
Now we're pushing onto IndieGoGo to give a new audience a chance at the Issue One variants that were initially exclusive to the Kickstarter campaign.
In Issue One of Mythics, Elthia Fletcher, an agent of the Mythic Order, rescued a baby changeling named Arlene from a coven of witches set to sacrifice the baby to summon a demon lord. While Elthia was able to complete her job, complications arose when the coven alerted the Order of the Carolingian Cross. The rival Order sent a paladin team to investigate the baby's kidnapping. Sensing a greater conspiracy in the shadows, Elthia watches over Arlene with her fiance, Jarel, their familiars, and the newly arrived Morella.
In Issue Two, Elthia is given a new job a few days after Issue One. A spriggan has been spotted in the same metropark where the coven tried to sacrifice Arlene. The problem is that Elthia's familiar Galatyn has been dealing with a family emergency, and Elthia is terrified of spriggans. Will Elthia be able to overcome her fear of spriggans to do her job? Is there a connection between the coven and the spriggan?

Issue Two
With the relettering of Issue One after complaints about the dialogue, and lettering, I decided to learn how to letter. While the first issue is rather rough, the new dialogue improved the story. I think I improved quite a bit since relettering Issue One.

Why IndieGoGo Now?
We're breaking it down to the essentials of printing and shipping. Since this is the first Mythoverse campaign on IndieGoGo, we're keeping it as low as possible so that we'll hit goal, and get the books out to you as soon as possible!
To be completely transparent, we want to expand our audience, and the audiences for crowdfunding sites are as split as the audiences between Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo. So we want to see as many people as possible enjoy our stories.
With that out of the way, we'll get to the good stuff.
The Rewards
As it stands with the pandemic, we're going to be offering less physicals so that we can get our fulfillment.
