Yesterday, covering Bobby Campbell's latest Substack newsletter, I highlighted the fact that the Kickstarter for Tales of Illuminatus! No. 2 ended today. I also managed to get the cover artist wrong for the new alternate cover for the first issue, so please note that and I apologize to Leosaysays. I had a long day away from the computer Friday, out and about with my sister visiting from Oklahoma, and I was away from the computer, so I'm sorry I didn't fix that earlier.
Update an onward, I hope.
Bobby also had something else interesting I wanted to call attention to:
"I’ve been working on a lot of the big picture, heavy lifting, world building for TOI lately, and entirely delighted with the way the dots are connecting. Super psyched to share my discoveries, but also taking to heart the feedback from issue #1, which suggested folks would rather just enjoy the comic as a finished piece, rather than a constant drip of serialization.
"I’ve got two weeks of teaching left and then we’re off to the races!"
Thinking about it, I think that's how I feel, too, about the "constant drip of serialization"; I want the experience of holding the new comic book in my hands and experiencing it as largely new.
That apparently doesn't preclude Bobby posting bits to show us what's in the works; above is a "quick sneak peak to hold you over for a spell" from Todd Purse's work for the second issue.
