Announcement time!

Have you enjoyed, TEMPLATE, XENO TRIP, SPELLCHECKED and/or THE COLD WAVE? Wanna help us make more? Now you can!

I'm making a pretty drastic change to my publishing model in 2018 and would like to invite you along for the ride. After releasing all of my work exclusively on ComiXology for the last few years, I'm in the process of moving back to a more web-based model of distribution. Doing so will allow me to maintain our level of quality while also getting books out quicker.  To do that, I've decided to launch a Patreon page. Not sure what that is? No problem, I'll explain!  

Beginning on January 2, you'll be able to subscribe to me essentially. And with that, have access to DRM-free downloads of every past, present, and future QAM Comics series along with bonus content. If you're only a reader of one of my books, this is a great way to check out the other stuff I've been doing. And in the process, you'll actually be helping us with the ability to do it more reliably. This is going to be flexible, with tiers as low as $1/month all the way up to $10/month for those who really want to help out.

Long story short? Becoming a Patron of QAM Comics allows us to do what we do best: tell cool stories and get them out into the world. Every dollar matters and I can't wait to see what we all do together.

But I do hope you come along. Be sure to spread the word by reblogging or sharing this post, and see you on Tuesday!

"As a carefree man goes about his business as one of the most powerful mages in the world, his two children try to find their own paths as protectors of their hometown city. Meet the Davenports in our debut issue!"

Back in 2012, I tried to make a comic about a mage finding her way in the world.  That comic was entitled LIGHT OF DAWN. If you're following me, there's a good chance that's the reason why given its crazy roller coaster of reception at the time. The project had a Kickstarter. Then it died. Then it kinda blew up on Tumblr after the fact. Then it died again. Bummer.

While I did my damndest to make it work, it just wasn't meant to be for a multitude of reasons and I left the idea behind to focus on other projects. One of them being TEMPLATE, which went on to become one of Comixology Submit's first standouts. If you haven't tried that out, by the way, it's now free on Comixology Unlimited. From there I went on to do XENO TRIP and my other new series that launched just last month, THE COLD WAVE. So I've certainly stayed busy.

But LIGHT OF DAWN was always 'the one that got away' for me. I absolutely hated that it never got off the ground. And I never really stopped thinking about all of the missed potential for that concept. It's taken five years, but the time has finally come to revisit it.

I present to you SPELLCHECKED.

Featuring some of the same themes as LIGHT OF DAWN with the added benefit of me having more years of comics writing experience, SPELLCHECKED is an evolution of what I wanted to do back then to better reflect my voice/sensibilities now. It's beautifully drawn by Mauricio Campetella, with colors by Paul John Little and letters by Ken Reynolds. And you won't have to wait long to check it out. Here's the synopsis:

As a carefree man goes about his business as one of the most powerful mages in the world, his two children try to find their own paths as protectors of their hometown city.

Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? :)

SPELLCHECKED #1 launches June 21 on ComiXology for only $0.99. No Kickstarters. No campaigns. None of that. It's happening. Our initial arc is going to be three issues, and whether we go past that is completely based on reception/sales. So like, tweet, share, signal boost, pigeon carry or whatever you have to do to get the message out to support it. But no matter where you are, use #qamspellchecked so we're able to see it.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more!

TEMPLATE will be back. And when it returns, it's gonna look a lot different. In the meantime, the entire series to date is available on comiXology Unlimited and Kindle Unlimited.

See you when it's ready.

New Year, New Beta? Season 3 of TEMPLATE is coming when it's ready, but for now check out a first look. For more details, check us out on Patreon!
