SIGNA: Issue #1 - Sci-Fi Adventure Comic The debut of a new sci-fi comic from the acclaimed Transformers team of John Barber & Andrew Lee Griffith. Giant robots? Of Course!

100 minutes left of SIGNA KS. If you're Darkman, and you're like "I'm gonna change my face and infiltrate the headquarters of Benny from LA Law for 99 minutes and then I'll pledge" well you're gonna cut it close but who am I to tell Darkman how to do it? www.kickstarter.com/projects/578...

Oh, no. Jeffrey Veregge was an amazing artist and a great guy, I'm gutted to hear this. I'm lucky to have worked with him and wish we'd done the more that we talked about.
