Matt Campbell Wants You To Come To Mythica

Matt Campbell writes for Bleeding Cool:

Kickstarter is a launching point for many new independent comic books, and one of the latest comic books to enter the kickstarter world is Mythica created by Matt Campbell.

Mythica is an epic adventure set in WWI, where the heroes face the horror of war, and the terrors of the underworld vie for their destruction!

"One of the most visually stunning, cinematic story's found in comics, within the past ten years!!" – Justin D. Ehart, Mile High Comics

Campbell is a Colorado based illustrator and comic book artist who has worked with CCP Comics, World Leaderz, Nayantara Studios, Versicolor as well as many independent creators to provide his artistic touch to book covers, table top and trading card games and many comics including Electron Boy, Station 39 and more! Right now all his artistic focus has been going into creating his personal property, Mythica.

Mythica is an ambitious comic project that will ultimately take about 36-40 issues to tell; but for now the focus is on the production of the first six issues. The first three issues are already finished, you can find them at http://mythicacomic.com

The current goal is to raise money to print these first three issues, and help start the production of the next three. This is Campbell's first kickstarter campaign, and he's invited all of us to be part of the journey.

Every great journey begins with a first step and the Mythica kickstarter is such a step.

Mythica follows the journeys of an eclectic group of strangers, who find themselves facing a demonic invasion during WWI; doubling the horrors of war. At the heart of the story is how these individuals come together, become a family, and face incredible odds to save mankind.

Like HBO or Showtime shows such as "Spartacus" or "Game of Thrones," Mythica is rated for mature audiences due to not only the horrors of war but the even greater horrors that come with a demon invasion.

Campbell has been working on this project now for several years, and so far everything has been done out of his own pocket, from sitting down and working out scripts to making the art.

Now it's time to take it to the next level. To get this amazing story in your hands, he needs your help!

The ultimate goal is to see Mythica nationally distributed and in stores all across the country and then around the world! It would be great to see Mythica as an animation, or a feature film, and with lots of merchandise – some of which is already in the works.
