At long last, Event Horizon in print is here! All three covers look gorgeous in their own three moods: female heart, comic sci-fi, dripping “GoodStrange” graffiti canvas work.

Here’s a look at the unboxing.

Here’s a celebration of each cover in video form. It celebrates themes (black holes, human desire), subverting the idea that only comic books can have variant covers. It’s a fangirl homemade MTV video to Muse’s Supermassive Blackhole and the old peep shows of Times Square. Enjoy the book chair dance. This is comic book realism.

Just arrived Event Horizon‘s F&Gs. If you are new to what these are, these are the “Folded & Gathered”, the books in their printed but unbound form. This is a picture of their folded signatures and covers (not affixed to their hardcovers yet). They just need their binding (corset as I think of it) to get their book shape. This is wonderful progress in our book making journey. The book official publishes Dec 15, 2024.

The interview that takes you through the layers of some Event Horizon stories, and working with Magnus Arts agency for stellar art. Two Geeks Talking Interview with Kurt Sasso, with Stephanie Nina Pitsirilos and Chris Allo.

Within the first hour of launching on the crowdfunding platform, Kickstarter, we reached our initial funding goal for Event Horizon: Stories of No Turning Back. We are so grateful for this early enthusiasm that has us going over 8K strong, still with 20 days to go. This 240 page full color genre-bending book that combines prose, comics, canvas work and photography is a grand undertaking, and this “kickstart” certainly gives us that needed push for full publication. Do check out our campaign and consider joining us, whether the book excites your interest, you’re a fan of the array of artists in here, or supporting independent artists and presses is a meaningful endeavor for you. We are live until May 10th: every pledge counts. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theninagalaxy/event-horizon-stories-of-no-turning-back

Our  first Event Horizon focused interview is up with StoryComic and the wonderful Barney Smith. Gives you a sneak peek into the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign and its rewards, which are the discounted and exclusive offer preorders for the book. Always fun to window shop before the big event on 4/9 11amEST.

We also discuss the process of finding new artists for a collection, and what Stephanie learned about herself as a writer in the process.
