Mountain Filled 5 Projects Mountain Filled 5 Projects

Welcome to the world of the Hell Born and High Born --

set forth in the comic series the SHADOW SENTRY.

 

After completing two issues of the regular series and launching two successful crowdfunding campaigns -- we’re going back to the beginnings of a few of our favorite characters to give you a glimpse into how they became the fighting forces they are today. SHADOW SENTRY: Origins #1 will be comprised of 2 stories, both 24 pages in length, for a 48 page hard-hitting perfect bound comic! (NOW 50 PAGES! WE'VE ADDED MORE!!) What’s set forth in the Origins books will lay the groundwork for the second story arc in the regular series, starting in book 5! So it’s not to be missed!

 

What if you had a near death experience, but when you returned from the other side you brought back a piece of the eternal with you? You awoke to find you now had supernatural abilities and you were able to break the laws of nature that govern the world around you! SHADOW SENTRY is an X-Men meets the Matrix Superhero team book with a Supernatural twist that will hit you with the nostalgia of the 90’s and restore your faith in comics again!

Book 2

I just devoured both books. Best comics I have read in a long time. Mic drop. You have made me a fan for life! - Christopher Aldrich

"Book showed up today. Excellent read. I thought the first one was one of the best written of the CG crowd and this one tops that. We need more people to find out about these books bro. This is good stuff. I can't wait for the next one!" - Daniel Craig

Risks and Challenges

  • I deliver and I deliver quality! This is my 3rd book and I will get it done and into your hands! Delays are a fact of life, and they do happen, but I'm always upfront with delays and give constant updates when things occur, in my control or out of my control. Rest assured I will fulfill!
  • The great news is that this book is already well into development, the entire Hopscotch story has been broken-down & laid-out by Clayton Barton (24 pages) and the first draft of the script has been written by Mark Poulton. Plus, 7 pages have been inked and colored!

Other Ways You Can Help

Some people just can't contribute, but that doesn't mean you can't help:

  • Help me get the word out and make some noise about this campaign.
  • Use the Indiegogo share tools and share it out to your friends!

I look forward to running another great campaign, and I want to thank you in advance for your support and consideration as we make this Shadow Sentry Universe bigger, and better!
