Here at Fanbase Press, we strive to provide an outlet for up-and-coming creators to promote and showcase their incredible works. With thousands of creators utilizing crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo to make those works a reality, we will highlight these talented creators and their noteworthy campaigns through #CrowfundingFridays! We hope that you will join us in giving these projects a moment of your time (and possibly your support).
Project #1: The Peacekeepers #1-5
What it’s about: All hell breaks loose in a quaint northern Michigan community when a team of in-over-their-heads bank robbers kills a beloved Sheriff’s Deputy. In a small town with BIG secrets, local detective Richard Holton races to peel back the layers of a depraved down home conspiracy before the bungling Federal Agents assigned to the case send everyone involved to ground.
The Peacekeepers is a comic book series from writer Rylend Grant, artist Davi Leon Dias, colorist Iwan Joko Triyono, and letterer HdE… the same twisted team that brought you 10 rip-roaring issues of Action Lab: Danger Zone’s critically-lauded political action thriller ABERRANT. Aberrant won a Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Awards (for BEST VILLAIN) and was nominated for two others (BEST WRITER & BEST SINGLE ISSUE).

Project #2: SoulD #1-2
What it’s about: You can buy people’s property. You can buy people’s time. But what if you could buy their souls?
SoulD is an urban cyberpunk-fantasy comic about the corporate capitalization of the soul, the rebels who fight against it, and the destructive nature of addiction.
Sisters Iona and Eilidh Camran find themselves on opposite sides of megacorp Pneuma Research’s plans to aggressively monetise the human soul. Iona works for them in the engineering department, Eilidh thinks this process is a disgusting defilement. In issue #2, after the ruinous events of the previous part, the sisters are put to work in Pneuma’s spirit-processing machine. Forced to defile ancient artworks on the orders of a tyrannical boss, they might never find their way back to their old lives, or escape their annoying new bunkmate.
Will they overcome their differences long enough to escape the daily grind? Can anyone stop Pneuma cashing in all our souls? And what will the next piece be from guerrilla soul-sculptor DeathTwister?

Abraham is a former private investigator and current drunk. Abraham has become obsessed with figuring out a mystery that no one believes happened, even his own daughter, Elena.
