Short Summary
As a fan of many Fantasy and Science Fiction works, Necromancer is world that scratches all those itches I enjoy in my entertainment: Tense thriller, enticing mystery, heart-pumping action, epic, heroic fantasy, and meticulously thought out societies and dogmas that flesh out this world. In this world the (Orthodox) Necromancer follows three simple precepts: Do not consort with the Dark Gods, the Undead are profane, and do as you wish, but pay the price.
In this 24 page story a Necromancer by the name of Gregor Mortem will navigate this treacherous world of dark magic and advanced technology as he goes up against rabid goblins and the profane undead. Gregor will question himself and his upbringing as he faces these daunting and dangerous trials while navigating sleazy mob bases, virtual-reality simulations, and desecrated graves.
Of course the perfect artist to illustrate this lurid tale as you will see below in the preview pages is senior Ibai Canales. His Basque's use of expressive faces, over the top violence, and love of Gothic architecture paint a beautiful picture on the world of Necromancer.
This comic will be the very first of many to come in the world of Necromancer, and if this campaign is successful then in the future you will be able to see the setting go from gritty cyberpunk noir to a High Fantasy, WW2-esque war epic as Gregor Mortem moves beyond the walls of District 13.

What We Need & What You Get
The funding goal is just enough to cover the printing and shipping costs of the book to backers. I did meticulous research and arithmetic to make sure the goal would not be set too low to not be able to cover all expenses and taxes. The art has already been paid for and done as was intended so that I could make the price of the book as low as possible up front. Hopefully you will all be kind enough to get us above and beyond so that we may be able to hire a professional colorist, letterer, and maybe even make a backup story to go along with the book.
The perks of this campaign are designed to give options to the backers whether you prefer reading digital (or live abroad), like holding a physical book in your hand, and for those who want to collect those special first edition copies.
The Impact
With the funding of this campaign I will not only be able to put the wild and crazy thoughts in my head into print, but you will be helping to build a Necromancer universe that will go on to tell many inspiring stories to come and maybe even branch out into other mediums. In the meantime without corporate backing or the infrastructure of an established comic company we need your help in order to print this baby and deliver it write to you (or email it if that's your thing).
Even though Ibai Canales has been behind other crowdfunding campaigns (including the six-figure hit Ironsights with Richard Meyer) this will be my first campaign myself so I will take full responsibility in bringing you a high-quality book in a professional and timely manner.
Risks & Challenges
If we unfortunately do not get funding we need then the book will not see print and you will be refunded for your contribution.
If the book does get funded and beyond then there may be mistakes made along the way as this is my first campaign.
Know that If we at least reach the base funding goal then you will be Guaranteed to receive the book no matter what it costs me.
