Hi Everyone,
Its been way to long since I've posted. Spirit Knight is alive online! We've started to convert our mini-series into a free web comic for all to enjoy! Issue #1 is ready and the others will be done as soon as possible. To see our comic go here:
Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I pray all is well. I wanted to give you a quick update on Gabriel the Inscriber from Lightweightz: The Anthology Part Two. I’ve just finished a revised draft of his script, and will pass it along to Przemyslaw in about a week so he can begin drawing it. I’m now working on revising Emi’s script, and will pass hers along to him in a week or so as well. Here’s the character concept to refresh your memory, along with a blurb to hint at what’s in store.
For Gabriel, knowledge isn’t only power…it’s dangerous. After remembering a once-forgotten secret, he finds himself on the run and on a mission. What does he know that’s so important, and what does it have to do with the other Lightweightz?
Happy holidays and if you haven’t yet, check out the Kickstarter which ends Jan. 9th!
Hey everyone,
I pray all is well. Here's the first preview from Lightweightz: The Anthology Part Two. It's the first page of Qasim's intro, drawn by Przemyzlaw R. Dedelis and colored by Lya. Enjoy, and support the Kickstarter!

So, I don't know if anyone has seen the newest Young Avengers comic, but personally I feel like the chick who place Miss America (Captain America) looks like me!
I'm working on the costume now, and I'll probably post some cosplay photos soon :)
Hey everyone,
I know our hearts were saddened this past weekend upon hearing about the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut and the stabbings in China. As we approach this holiday season and afterwards, please continue to keep the families of those affected, and their respective communities in your thoughts and/or prayers.
On the comic front, I have a couple of quick updates:
(1) The first week got off to a strong start, with 47% of the project being funded! With this being my first Kickstarter campaign I didn’t know what to expect, so the amount of love and support I’ve received out the gate has been nothing short of amazing. To every backer and person who helped spread the word, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
(2) My goal for this week is to keep up the momentum from last week, and I believe that by people continuing to get the word out, we can make that happen.
(3) Colored pages are coming in, and they look great! So expect to see some colored pages real soon.
(4) Last but not least, I’ve been fortunate enough to have two great friends and fellow CCAS members who are also in the comic world share their thoughts on what they liked about Lightweightz: The Anthology Part One, and why people should support Lightweightz: The Anthology Part Two.
Again, thanks for helping the movement get off to a strong start, and I look forward to us achieving the same this week.
With Gratitude,
Justin

While it definitely remains to be seen whether I'll have the financial aspect ready in time to prepare, I am hoping to take the next step toward broadening my audience and beginning to actually draw income from my comic as its second year of existence begins next February. I'm tentatively planning to start putting money into ads on other websites via Project Wonderful and other means and to attend a comics show or two in my local area with perhaps some print copies of individual issue-sized segments (between 32-48 pages) of my initial storyline, The Warstar Gambit, along with some other inexpensive items.
Part of establishing your comic's identity is targeting its most likely audience; being a sci-fi military adventure saga, my demographic would likely be made up mostly of youth and young adult males (though I realize that ladies occasionally like that stuff too). But Tomes of Atlantis kind of walks a tightrope, which will be particularly evident in this week's post and many in the weeks to come. It's targeting Christian readers on one hand while reaching out to lost readers who'd never pick up a Bible or darken a church door directly. While my hope is that its underlying themes will help lost readers to pause and consider a Biblical worldview and its implications (ultimately the need for a relationship with Jesus Christ), I also have to be careful to avoid running such folks off by being overly "preachy" or heavy handed by keeping such references in small but effective doses. I believe most Christian readers will be able to recognize the topics and appreciate how they're relevant in our society that right now is frankly a total mess, and hopefully they'll find in my comic a good sci-fi saga they can read without an atheistic, secular worldview being predominant.
Ultimately, though, I have no idea whether or how many lost readers will be willing to tolerate what they're reading; let's face it, you mention God or Jesus in a typical internet forum right now and you'll likely be trolled from every side, and often in a very vulgar manner as I'm sure many of us here have experienced. There's a lot of vitriolic hatred around us for Someone so many people say they don't believe in. I can't control what those readers do or decide as far as whether to keep reading; I just want to present a Gospel message in what I hope will be a worthwhile, entertaining story and let people choose for themselves (Keep in mind that in essence it's not YOU the readers are rejecting, so if you can relate to this please stay positive, don't take anything personally, and stay the course). But that's precisely why I made so many of my characters lost and yet simultaneously identifiable and sympathetic, so that perhaps a lost reader might gravitate toward a favorite character that poses the arguments they would or has a background they can relate to. In a sense in this way they'll live that character's experiences vicariously; at least that's my hope.
In closing, I would like to ask permission to include the fact that I am a member of the Christian Comic Arts Society on things such as future business cards, banners, etc. I think that doing so would, at least in a small way, let potential readers know where I stand up front, and then the decision to read my material would be up to them. That's the tightrope; not being heavy handed but at the same time making it clear who you are as a writer and as a person. If we're a light we can't hide; we have to let the chips fall where they may and trust the Lord to give the increase according to His will.
After probably 12-plus hours of work I finally finished Page 120 for The Warstar Gambit, which will post on February 18, 2013. Given the biblical reference here, I thought I'd share a sneak preview here.
I would like to take 5 and openly Thank GOD for his amazing mercy... I recently did a test page for a new comic publisher and just found out today that i got hired.... That make's 3 comics that i am working on, or will be working on in the newer future... I pray I remain humble and pray that my work brings nothing but praise and glory to you my fathher in heaven..
AMEN!
hey friends, just wanted to share what has been happening in life lately.
Defenders of Eden facebook page has taken off. Feel free to search us on fb, and like us, and share us!
our desire is to build a small (or large) fanbase before we start our kickstarter page to print our first comic book.
we are getting wonderful response on it, and can't wait to share more images of our characters. we are systematically sharing stuff, so that we just don't overload with everyone. I am curious to see what people say about each person, what their thoughts are and if they like them.
thanks friends! we appreciate your support!
Matthew
