Overview
For several centuries the ancient Order of Justice has lain dormant, but the magical power of the Justice Gems has been released during an Egyptian archeological dig – now, all over the world, the mummified Priestesses of Justice are coming back to life. As supernatural evils threaten human society through the following decades, the Sisterhood will be there to guard and protect.

I have spent many years developing my dream project and I do want to stress (this mixup happened a lot on social media) that this project might have sexy covers, but the stories are PG and no XXX anywhere!

PITCH: For several centuries the ancient Order of Justice has lain dormant, but the magical power of the Justice Gems has been released during an Egyptian archeological dig – now, all over the world, the mummified Priestesses of Justice are coming back to life. As supernatural evils threaten human society through the following decades, the Sisterhood will be there to guard and protect.

PLOT: In 1917, a mysterious adventurer (Rand) enters a pyramid In British Colonial Egypt. There he opens the Cauldron of Khepri. The spirits of ancient priestesses are released, resurrecting mummies all over the world who were devoted to an embodiment of the Goddess of Justice and Truth. Five years later, the mummies form the Sisterhood of the Mummy, a spiritual order to help the truth and justice against the unordinary. They are cop, judge, juror and executioner defending the world. The order live in an underground base with technology beyond human knowledge. They are led by the adventurer, the Mother-Supreme and the remains of an Egyptian god whose soul is being used as software for a supercomputer.

INTENTION: SISTERHOOD is a series of oneshots 32/pagers. It will all revolve around the idea of my ´sketchbook theme´ as well as the fact that I want a comic on shelves done by talented folks and not just a ´nice job´ with artwork that you will use to wipe your ass with :)

ISSUE ONE: the origin issue in which we see the rising of the Sisterhood, the installation of the Khepri-computer and during a new adventure the Sisterhood's leader Rand is discovering he is not the only one residing in his own head! 

Currently FOUR issues have been completed, with 4 more already written!

Each comicbook will feature different artists, to ensure not only a high quality but also creating a platform for outstanding artists. This idea is highly influenced by my own Sketchbook Theme where over 200 artists each have shown me their own personal magic!

RICHARD BOOM: Project Leader/Creator

Richard Boom started out in the comic industry as your regular fanboy, just reading comics and enjoying it even more due to the internet and making contact with creators. As his contact list grew, so did his interest in the complete field of comic. Starting up a Bad Grrl Comics Fan club in 2001 was the first step to go further then his own living room. Soon thereafter he began setting up websites for Arthur Suydam, Eric Basaldua, Broadsword Comics and focussing on titles like Vampirella, Cavewoman, Hack/Slash and more... During a visit to a Belgium convention (F.A.C.T.S.) he even started working with the organization and since 2006 he has been officially affiliated with this convention, helping them when and where he can; from seeking sponsorships, contacting artists to be their guests to actually helping to manage the Artist Alley. At this convention he met the founder of Broken Frontier and shortly thereafter began doing headlines for this news site. Later he founded the website COMICSFORSINNERS which more resembles his prior BadGrrl fanclub. Nowadays Richard dabbles in editing comics, doing comic book PR, translating comics, stopped working at FACTS in 2016 and has collected a lot of Hot Mummy sketches hoping to turn that into a comic book series in 2018.

Markus von Renthe-Fink: Story Editor / backup-story penciller

Markus' comic book career hit a major road-bump early on when, in his mid-twenties, he had to face the fact that he was living in a comic-book 3rd world country: Germany. "Image Comics" had just been formed, and his dream of ascending into the ranks of superstars such as Silvestri, Campbell, Charest or Lee were shattered by the fact that he would have to move to USA, and his drawing skills, impressive as they were by then, were not quite honed enough to make this a realistic possibility. So - he pretty much stopped drawing altogether, focusing on getting a "real job" as a graphics designer. - - - Fast forward 20 years: at a book signing in Frankfurt he met Greg Capullo, who was kind enough to look through Markus' portfolio. To the German's surprise, he was told by the popular artist that a) his stuff was fairly good and b) nowadays, the "studio system" had virtually ceased to exist: all you needed as a penciller was skills, a scanner and an internet connection. The flame of rekindled hope rose in Markus' eyes like a bonfire. Looking for a project to finally spread his artistic wings, he met jack-of-all-trades Richard Boom through Facebook. The rest is history (in the making): Markus von Renthe-Fink now acts as story editor and continuity assistant on the "Sisterhood" book, as well as drawing a 20-something page origin story about one of the main characters, trying very hard to make up for lost time.

Victor Kruithof: writer

At school, Kruithof wanted to become an archeologist, but ended up studying journalism and then information-management in hoping to become a librarian. Eventually he became a mix of both at a financial newspaper. But there was a constant focus his career choices, stories. I always wanted to become a writer. In 2011 he joined a talent-contest for the Dutch smallpress publisher Windmill Comics. It let him to his own comic serial, the UC Masters. Because of his critisism about translations and with the experience at the newspaper he was asked to act as the editor for LoneJim Comics, learning again a different side of storytelling through comics. When the crisis of 2008 and digital innovations finally hit his newspaperjob in 2013, he started to look around for more writingjobs. And thus, the crisis brought him to Boom Art Department and Richard Boom's strange fondness for mummies. Boom had the action figures and building blocks to play with. Kruithof had enough fantasy to give them their own world and give others the opportunity to play in this new world.

Diego Magno Loiola: Penciler

Diego loved comics and drew since childhood. He grew up, became a collector, continued drawing, graduated in fine arts, did fanzines, illustrations, fanarts and countless stories; some that never came to light and others that became RPG among friends. Then came Sisterhood, not only the first real job opportunity, but how to give life to someone else's ideas, a bulky, imaginative and rewarding job. Diego continues to draw and collect comics!

Kevin Enhart: colorist

Kevin Enhart is a writer for short films and comics, as well as a comic book artist and colorist. Kevin is also working as a cinema production designer and storyboarder. He’s best known for his alternating coloring styles, best suited for each individual project. Kevin’s prior comic book projects include “Puss in Boots”, “Vikings” and he is currently coloring “Warhammer 40.000” and “Anno Dracula”. Audiovisually, he worked on the French film “419” by Eric Bartonio, and commercials for Awkeye Production and Parrot. Enhart is also currently developing his own project named “The Outlaws” published via Markosia in 2019, and preparing his first feature movie.

Paulo Teles Yonami: cover artist

Yonami or Paulo Teles is a designer and Professional illustrator since he was 19 years old, working at the graphic and digital area, illustrating for graphic publications and TV commercials. Pupil of the best illustrators from Hyper Comics (Jucilande Jr. and João Vicente), drawing comics at your hometown (Manaus, Amazon, Brazil) making those for internet and fanzines. A videogame lover (specially 2D games) he always spend some freetimes playing games. Designer by graduation and illustrator by profession, actually Yonami works for GlassHouse Graphics. Today, he lives in São Paulo, working as manager and comic artist. He even launched his ZOMBIESIDE anthology and is now working on his TIME WITCH comic book series.

Eric Basaldua: variant cover artist

Eric Basaldua - more commonly through his signature EBAS - was a mainstay of the Top Cow universe. He started working at Top Cow in 2000 under the direct tutelage of Top Cow founder Marc Silvestri. He became one of the Top Guns at Top Cow. A self-professed thong lover, Eric is known for his depictions of beautiful women and sexy artwork. Eric has worked on many fan-favorite comic series, including Hunter-Killer, Witchblade, Tomb Raider, Freshman, The Magdalena, Blood Legacy: The Young Ones, The Darkness, Battle of the Planets, the Darkness/Vampirella crossover written by Terry Moore, and the Witchblade/Wolverine crossover. He provided various covers for Marvel, DC, Rothic, Top Cow and Zenescope.

Risks and challenges

The comicbook is all written and penciled. This Crowd-sourcing is set up mostly for making sure the colorist (Kevin Enhart) will get paid.

Actually I have FOUR books all done like this, most of them even colored as well. So I want to come back here and make this a complete series of oneshots, showcasing new talents during this whole adventure!

About this particular project: I have decided to only do a regular cover and one variant cover, and a third cosplayer cover. This makes me certain the printing will not be a too big of a deal.

Shipping will be done worldwide via the ultra-reliable German postal services as they reside just mere minutes away from my town. The extra perk of this, is the fact that Shipping via Germany is just as reliable as via my own country of the Netherlands, but cheaper for your wallet.

I am even going to try and work out a deal with a distribution partner to make everything move more professional and swift, but that depends on the success of this very first Crowd-sourcing.

I am new at this Crowd-sourcing-game obviously, with Sisterhood #1 being my "official" debut.
The complete art team is really excited about it and have already finished all the artwork for the game (well, with the exception of all the awesome coloring and lettering and graphic design)!

Although are well versed in the industry, we do understand that there are possible unforeseen issues such as:

Manufacture Delays
Shipping Delays
Story Editing Corrections
Over-Robust Stretch Goal Fulfillment

Given this, I am very dedicated and committed to bring you an excellent comic book with quality products to ensure that the first impression to you, beloved backers, will be a great one.
