THE BEGINNING: FIRST TERM

In 2018, writer Mark Pellegrini and artist Timothy Lim (with additional colors by Brett R. Smith) launched their first fully illustrated comic book through Antarctic Press, which went on to 7 printings. The political parody introduced the world to WALL-MIGHT and MIGHT-FENCE , borrowing heavily -- and spoofing -- from anime and manga influences.

Intended to be a one-and-done project, Pellegrini and Lim found themselves returning to the idea of a sequel after numerous reprints and a persistent audience demanded to continue the story.

And this brings us to our second part!

FIRST TERM: PART II

WALL-MIGHT: First Term, Part II spoofs the current comic book industry and introduces a new assembly of characters as they take on the Deep State's newest, deadliest emissary: BURNING SANDERS.

Together with his Youth Resistance, he intends to take Wall-Might and his companions out for good!

Wall-Might will have some added help this time around -- including the high-flying Warhen, the plush-peacekeeper Marmot Maiden, and more!

We currently have a strong interest from publishers for the sequel, but only in a standard 32 page format and predicated on a demonstrable customer demand. It is our hope that a successful campaign will mean that the shorter version can be viable for local comic book stores!

The version that we are offering to IndieGoGo backers is our ultimate realization of the book, a 40-page jammed-packed action comedy with a very great, tremendous wrap around cover.

So good, everyone agrees, it's the best. The best.

Here's what you'll get!

• Wrap-around exclusive homage cover by Timothy Lim with colors by Brett R. Smith
• The 32 page story PLUS the bonus story, WALL-MIGHT GAIDEN
• Concept sketches and supplemental material by Matthew Weldon (Punchline)

WINNING!

Our campaign goal accounts for the following factors:

• Printing a limited number of books so that the sequel can satisfy those asking for it
• Pay Mark Pellegrini and Timothy Lim for the work completed
• Pay Mark Pellegrini and Timothy Lim to finish Wall-Might Gaiden exclusively for this book
• Compensate Brett R. Smith and Matthew Weldon for their contribution
• Demonstrate a desire for the book to be available later at local comic stores
• Cover the cost of fulfillment

WALL-MIGHT GAIDEN

What will set this book apart from potential future printings or store editions if we meet our goal are the wrap-around cover and the addition of the backup story, Wall-Might Gaiden, a prequel that looks at Wall-Might's rise to power. The funding will help us complete the story and include it in the book!

GOALS

Due to our success on other works in 2018 -- BLACK HOPS: USA-*-GI, RED ROOSTER, and TRUMP'S SPACE FORCE -- we are able to pass the savings on to the reader by offering a limited edition book that is at a lower price point than other works have been in the past. We also learned from other campaigns and have decided to keep this campaign as simple as possible.

Our stretch goals are basic:

• Gold foil printing on cardstock for the wraparound cover
• Upgrade the interior paper to a high gloss
• WIN
