On March 31st, Sinthetic Reality Studios is launching the campaigns for SUPERHEROES AFTER DARK 5!
I’m not revealing the subtitle, but After Dark 5 will be A LINEAR STORY which will first be presented as a 24-page comic for a lower price and lower shipping fee.
I want to do this comic project a little differently.
The goal with SuperHeroes After Dark 5 specifically is two-fold:
MAKE THE COMIC CHEAPER with a lower page count but…
DELIVER THE COMIC MUCH FASTER AND RESPONSIBLY
SuperHeroes After Dark 5’s story is planned to be introduced in a 24-page comic format, and if it does well enough, the story will continue in a second issue… and backers of the first issue will get a discount for that comic. So, when all is said and done, when comparing dollars to pages, the amount paid to get the whole story will be about the same as before—possibly cheaper—but you’ll get issues MUCH FASTER than usual.
X-RATED VERSUS ALL AUDIENCES
The version of After Dark 5 that backers receive will be UNCENSORED and will feature several explicit sex scenes. I will eventually be compiling a version of After Dark 5 without the sex scenes that will be sold on platforms like Amazon later on down the line.
WHAT WILL AFTER DARK 5 BE ABOUT?
I won’t reveal too much yet, but the story will essentially be like Birds of Prey meets the 1999 comedy movie, Mystery Men. So, basically three super-hot costumed women living in the dregs and trying to be crimefighters but doing poorly at it. Their circumstances change when they find themselves in the center of a supervillain gang war.
After Dark 5 is going to be a kind of experiment that I hope works out. Asking for less money to fund a comic, but getting it done and fulfilled quicker so that backers receive their merch in a timely manner. That’s the plan for the new scheduling going forward. I DO NOT want backers to wait 9-12 months for a comic from me ever again.
PLANS FOR 2022
2022 is going to be a big year for Sinthetic Reality Comics and changing how we do things to improve the overall experience for the customer/backer will be key.
We understand that one of the biggest concerns with crowdfunding comics is cost and fulfillment delays. I completely understand because not only am I a creator, but I’m also a comic book fan and backer of other creators’ comics!
Our goals are to make the comics and videos you want to see and to deliver merchandise faster and safer—and, if possible, cheaper—across all platforms, from my personal website SHADEDRAWS.COM, eBay, Etsy and others.
MORE TO COME FOR AFTER DARK 5
In the coming weeks, I’ll share more details in both Substack updates and with YouTube videos.
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK
Do you want SuperHeroes After Dark 5? Do you like the new plans? Comment below!
I like it. Smut comic with a safe variant for Amazon, even if they sell written smut anyway. Do you have names for the gals and gangs- individuals and groups?
Can't wait. Also that Vampirella looks outstanding
