Todo o nada

Finished

Victor Santos is ready to once again delight the reader with a new Noir comic full of suspense, and, as usual, first-rate narrative quality. The author is the Eisner and Harvey nominee creator and co-creator of graphic novels such as Filthy Rich, Rashomon, Bad Girls, Against Hope, and Violent Love, and has worked with companies like Netflix, Fnac, Porche, the video game company Corvus Belli, and artists such as Deadmau5 amongst others.

His tetralogy Polar, published by Dark Horse, was adapted into an Original Netflix live-action movie starring Mads Mikkelsen and Vanessa Hudgens, and some of the rights of his other works have been bought and find themselves in different stages of development. 

About the project

Tommy Blackfoot gets out of jail and the first thing he does is to get into his car and head to Elmore's Motel to meet up with June, a woman he met through a pen pal service between women and convicts. The solitary motel is located after a turn off a lonely highway and is pretty vacant except for this unlikely couple that isn't exactly there to waste their time.
 
However, a thug called Peter Twice has been following Tommy since he stepped out on the street, and has been in close contact with someone called Rouge, who has some unfinished business with the ex-convict. In case Rouge and his goons can't get there in time, Peter sneaks impatiently into the room where the couple sleeps but he is unfortunately discovered.

But it's too late. Although Peter's attack alerted them, a silent army commanded by Rouge has already raided the motel and blocked every exit. Rouge calls for revenge!

Trapped, the pair will have to fight to survive in a cat and mouse game where no one is who they claim to be. Not even sweet, innocent June is the damsel in distress she appears to be...

FORECAST OF DEVELOPMENT AND CONDITIONS OF THE CAMPAIGN:

GENERAL

We know the kind of effort it takes to do a good job, and both the author and Spaceman Project are prepared. We love this medium and we want to take it to another level where the readers, authors, and booksellers are the protagonists. It is because of that that we have taken the small details into account and adjusted the fundraising goal for what we’re offering.

This is an all-or-nothing campaign model. In order for the project to become a reality, we need to reach 100% of the goal. The length of the campaign will last 30 days but can be extended by 7 more days if the project reaches 75% of its goal before the end of the month.  As the publisher, Spaceman Project, can make contributions to the campaign to boost or complete the goal at its own discretion. As is customary, an announcement will be made public if this happens.

DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE

Printing / 5 to 10 weeks for printing.

Deliveries / it will take between 2 and 6 weeks after the books have been received to be sent to the backers.

*Spaceman Project is not responsible for delays in the creation as this is the author’s commitment to the backers. In the case that the work is not finished, the author is directly responsible for refunding the backers. 

All illustrations presented in this campaign are provisional and are subject to change once the goal has been reached, and work on the project commences. This is only applicable to the cover images for the most part, not to the story, the format of the work, nor the rewards being offered. Obviously, we are presenting a work that is in progress and under development. Creativity has no limits and we are confident that we will not stop improving, and as such, we have made a commitment to quality with our readers.

While the project is being created, the authors are responsible for issuing updates and keeping the backers informed. Once the materials have been delivered to Spaceman, the publisher will be in charge of informing the backers about each of the next steps (Editing/ Production/ Warehouse arrival/ shipment of packages).
