Bad news for Starlin fans, Jim won't be able to contribute the variant cover and pinup to this book. His schedule just got too full for him to chip in this year. Good news is we have the prodigious Paul Pelletier and cutie-pie Keith Champagne pinch hitting on the variant cover. Paul's rough sketch below is exciting to see in its own right!
Still, I wanted to give those of you who pledged the variant cover the chance to change your pledge if you have to have Starlin and not Pelletier/Champagne. But hopefully you'll stick around for this new version!
Finally, remember to check out Blake's Buzz this coming week. I'll be appearing on a special RIOT EARP episode along with Ron Marz, Darryl Banks, and Keith Champagne. I'll forward a link when I can.

Thanks you to your wonderful support, we have passed the $4,000 stretch goal. That means two things:
First, the variant cover by Jim Starlin will also be a pinup in the book, and anyone who orders the high quality 8.5 x 11 pinups will receive Starlin's cover art as a bonus pinup! I met with Mr. Starlin this week and he'll have some art for us in a few days. I'll post when I get something from him.
Second, everyone will receive a set of these cool Chibi stickers (in PDF form if you pledge digital):
I'll have to come up with another stretch goal for $5,000. Do you guys want bookmarks? Any other ideas? Let me know!
Finally, here's a friend of ol' RIOT EARP also now on Kickstarter.
CTHULHU VS. UNCLE SAM is a full color, 32-page comic that looks like a lot of fun, from writer Scott Harris-King and artist Jay Piscopo. It combines the supernatural with the superhero for a tongue in cheek action adventure. Check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thecrimebusters/cthulhu-vs-uncle-sam-2?ref=9540nv
Show them some love!
We broke $3,000 in less than four days! Stretch goals!

Wow, we have exceeded $3,000 and you know what that means (do you know what that means?): STRETCH GOALS. Everyone gets a trading card and something new I'm throwing in: a set of CHIBI stickers. Earp, Bill, Josie and Peg rendered in all their cuteness.
If you haven't backed yet, do so now!
