All the supposed perks of the platform ended up being the things that slowed everything down and it felt like an unnecessary middle man for a small indie creator who has successfully funded and fulfilled a half dozen projects in Kickstarter all by myself.

I got my copies of Stomped from the printer at the end of August and sold them all at Rose City Comic Con in September. The backers (less than 100), have yet to receive their copies. It’s very frustrating to realize I could have done this book myself, fulfilled faster and made a little more money.

Did you read The Serpent in the Garden trade?

I see a lot of connections between Mignola and Lewis’s depictions of the afterlife, but never saw anyone else make the connection. There is a lot of stuff in Hellboy in Hell and beyond that reminds me of The Great Divorce, not to mention they both clearly love fairy tales.
