Sorry for the radio silence but rest assure we're hard at work on the graphic novel.

We did want to inform you that Dave Acosta was forced to drop out of the project due to scheduling conflicts. We've found an amazing replacement whose style is perfect for Joe Ledger. 

EV Cantada has illustrated half the graphic novel already and we'll be coloring the pages soon and then on to lettering. We're still on track to finish the book by March and have the rewards soon after. 

Here are a few of EV's pages. 


And if you haven't heard, there's a Joe Ledger TV series in development from John Wick  director Chad Stahelski. More info is at Deadline.

Surveys to gather your addresses are coming. You'll also be able to add any rewards you may have missed during the campaign.

We did it! The Joe Ledger graphic novel is funded. Thank you to all the backers for making this happen. We can't wait to get this book out.

And thank you all for making the first Crystal Lake Comics project a success. We have other books coming that we're very excited about.

The Ledger campaign still has a day and a half left, so there's still time to pledge and make sure you get a copy.

We still have plenty of other awesome rewards left, like the Joe Ledger hardcover, paperback and digital book, as well as prints and ebook bundles.
