BloodForTheBaron‘s “Action Force International Heroes” Kickstarter continues to sell, having smashed through the first unlock tier – and with Action Force Redux issue 005 going to print, further stretch goals for issues 006-012 have been revealed.
This project successfully funded on back in March, but you can still Late Pledge for available rewards.
Writer and Editor Jim Marshall has assembled an all-star team of artists to kick off the next story arc, “World Enemy Number One: Interludes”, which will feature covers by none other than Battle alumni and current Commando artist Carlos Pino, and series regular and fan-favourite Alejandro Cabral.
Plus, you’ll be able to enjoy “Z Force”, drawn by Andrew Wildman, “Q Force” by Colin MacNeil, and “Space Force” by Geoff Senior and “SAS” by Alejandro Cabral, the latter two artists returning to the project.
But that’s not all! Pulling out all the stops, Jim has also lined up Kev Hopood (Iron Man) to deliver a special pull-out poster; a “Data File” from Garry Wharton, and a WTAF by Alan Schell, along with a “Dispatches” article by downthetubes stalwart Ian Wheeler!
Lettering will once again be handled by Komixmaster AKA Rodolfo Valenzuela.
Andrew Wildman is, of course, famous in the United States for his run on the vintage Marvel title, GI Joe: A Real American Hero by Larry Hama (issues 120 – 138). He has been releasing a series of GI Joe sketches for a forthcoming Ko-Fi GI JOE Sketchbook Challenge, which is still open for backers.
