Fund Me Friday: Exorcists & The Midnight Order
Launched on Kickstarter are EXORCISTS and THE MIDNIGHT ORDER
Live on Kickstarter is the beginning of a new mini-series and a graphic novel. Check out the details and a preview of Exorcists and The Midnight Order.
Exorcists
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that God exists…
October Chronicles kicks off EXORCISTS, the exciting new three-issue supernatural series created and written by novelist and Bram Stoker Award finalist Tom Leveen (SPAWN), with art and colors by Marco Bovi and letters and editing by John Robinson IV.
Three unlikely survivors of a demonic possession apocalypse attempt a global exorcism to save the world from descending into Hell.
A depressed widower, a punk-rock pastor, and a demon-possessed teenage a girl are the only people who can perform a global exorcism at a hidden sacred site to free the entire globe from a mass demonic possession.
“I’ve been so fortunate with the artists I’ve worked with, first with my YA comic BECKETT’S LAST MIXTAPE, and now again with Marco on EXORCISTS,” said Tom Leveen. “He gets what I’m after, and brings these characters and scenarios to life in dramatic fashion. I love seeing his email pop up in my inbox, because I know when I open it I’m gonna be thrilled!”
“I'm really enjoying working on this script!” said Marco Bovi. “The first time I met Tom he asked me if I was willing to join him on a horror story and, you know, the first thing I thought was like Oh no, I'm done with bloody gore—And well, I was wrong! So far it's been very rewarding, I like the script and how it’s balanced with action, feelings, and blood of course. Tom is a great writer and I really hope my work could be up to these wonderful characters.”
EXORCISTS is about our demons—real or metaphorical, individual or corporate. Demons that only exist because we allow them to, and their only function is to cause pain. We are stronger than those demons – IF we take action!
Rewards include digital copies, prose bundles, virtual author visits, and more…
Fans who love WE HAVE DEMONS and LUCKY DEVIL will definitely dig EXORCISTS—but don’t wait for the rapture; the campaign ends Nov. 2nd!
The Midnight Order
Magnetic Press joins forces with FNAC and Fauve d'Or Award-winning author Mathieu Bablet to Kickstart a witchy and supernatural anthology
Protect mankind from demonic forces as well as magic powers in the wrong hands…
Announcing Magnetic Press’ occult horror anthology, THE MIDNIGHT ORDER, written and illustrated by FNAC and Fauve d'Or Award-winning author Mathieu Bablet (SHANGRI-LA, CARBON & SILICON), is now live on Kickstarter!
Produced by Mathieu Bablet and Studio 619, this premium 272-page graphic novel weaves tales of the worldwide practice of witchcraft, featuring prose articles connecting these fictional events to real-world esotericism by Claire Barbe.
For hundreds of years, those attuned to the powers of magic and supernaturalism have been ostracized and persecuted as “witches” by those who do not understand them or wish to maintain power over them. And yet these individuals continued to practice their knowledge in secrecy to protect themselves and those around them from occult evils that would invade our reality. The most dedicated of these individuals formed THE MIDNIGHT ORDER, an organization that grew through generations into a secret globe-spanning organization of agents who protect humanity from unknown demonic forces that could end the world if left unchecked.
“There is something wholly unique about Mathieu’s work that has resonated with readers worldwide,” said Magnetic Press Publisher, Mike Kennedy. “Having published and sold out of three of his books within an 18-month period is testament not only to the gripping quality of those individual titles, but to his consistently impressive imagination and expressive visual direction. THE MIDNIGHT ORDER carries all those signature qualities through the creative team he has gathered around himself to tell this haunting tale.”
THE MIDNIGHT ORDER will be available in trade paperback, premium hardcover, and a deluxe limited-edition slipcase available exclusively through the campaign which features a removable metal coin embedded in the slipcase box, color printed gilding on the page edges of the book, an exclusive etched metal bookmark, and a foil-stamped and numbered bookplate. A limited-edition “Bablet Collection Box Set” (SHANGRI-LA, CARBON & SILICON, and ADRASTEA) will also be available, exclusively produced and sold through the campaign.
In an effort to proactively reduce the rising cost of shipping, pre-registered backers and those who pledge on Day-1 will receive a $2 Shipping Credit added to their pre-order in the pledge manager after the campaign.
For fans of X-FILES and HELLBOY’s BPRD, the campaign for THE MIDNIGHT ORDER ends Oct. 20th. Check out www.magnetic-press.com for more info.
