This week we did things just a little differently. We only had creators from one project on, but that project is creating four completely unique comics. All written by legendary creator JM DeMatteis. We have better news, Mr. DeMatteis was on the podcast with us. Along with Spellbound Comics Publisher David Baldy, JM introduced us to the four comics that will create the Spellbound Comics' DeMultiverse. Each issue is an Issue #1 "pilot."

Backers of the campaign who read all four issues will vote for which series is launched first. You can support the campagin in two ways. Either on the Spellbound website:

SPELLBOUNDCOMICS.COM

or on Kickstarter:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/spellboundcomics/surprise-four-secret-comics-by-jm-dematteis-demultiverse

Either place helps the project move forward. Will backed on Kickstarter. Kevin backed on the website. You do you!!!
