STATE OF THE CONE - Q2

Whats going on with ORANGE CONE??

Every now and then, I like to do a quick STATE OF THE CONE for ORANGE CONE PRODUCTIONS—(State of Cone is the new name of the segment because of the great JOHNATHAN HEDRICK re-named it Q1!!) a rundown of all our upcoming titles, status of fulfillment. Workload and all that. This keeps you in the loop on our latest projects and, hopefully, gets you hyped for what’s coming next. We have a fascinating year this year and i can’t wait to tell you more about what’s coming!! I have a little break between the next KICKSTARTER and i have a few ideas on some personal post coming up, but until then LETS TALK COMICS

CTHULHU INVADES FAIRY TALES – We should be getting the books next week!! That means we can start shipping and LAUNCH - CTHULHU INVADES FAIRY TALES 2

GRANITE STATE PUNK – LIVE FREE OR DIE – Patrick is hard at work on the pages. He’s in high demand, but as always, he’s fully committed to GSP. He has finished all the art and is now in the coloring phase of the project. Patrick has had a rough year. He had knee surgery and got COVID. If all goes well, we’re aiming to have the digital edition ready by late JUNE and the Physical edition in July.

If you missed the 5th issue that CHANGES EVERYTHING about GRANITE STATE PUNK!!

LATE PLEDGES STILL LIVE:

HOLIDAY SPIRITS- CHRISTMAS IN JULY (VOLUME 4)

We just wrapped up HOLIDAY SPIRITS - CHRISTMAS IN JULY. The positive is that this book was MOSTLY done before we launched because it is a RE-PRINT of all the prior issues. Of the new 30 pages. I think only 4 pages havent been completed with new art and JEROME has to letter the other new stories. However, this should have a fast turnaround for our team.

If you missed it LATE PLEDGES are still active!!

So, let’s give you the LOW DOWN on the next 3 KICKSTARTERS!!! These books may not be released in the order presented, but will be the next group.

BUBBLE GUM RAZOR
W. Travis Gibb, A & C. Rolands Kalniņš, Jerome Gagnon

Bubblegum Razor - Kenji Thompson is an investigative podcaster and the voice behind the hit true-crime series Malevolent Killers. Three years ago, he began digging into a string of grisly murders spanning three major cities in Florida—Orlando, Miami, and Tampa. Despite his relentless pursuit, the case went cold. But Kenji never let it go.

Now, as he returns to the case to record the final episodes of his podcast, the unthinkable happens—new murders begin, each one mirroring the past crimes. Even worse, the evidence points directly at him. On the run and desperate to clear his name, Kenji must unravel a sinister conspiracy before the real killer silences him for good.

This series unfolds through a dual narrative: each issue opens with a chilling murder, presented through Kenji’s podcast, giving readers haunting flashbacks to the original crimes. The rest of the issue follows Kenji in real time, as he races against both the police and the killer’s deadly game to uncover the truth.

They are spirit hunters and will kill ghost with a magic pistol and some mystical riteswhen they come into town.
