Crowdfunding Corner: Skybound launches Daniel Warren Johnson’s Extremity: Signature Edition
Backer Beware: Crowdfunding projects are not guaranteed to be delivered and/or delivered when promised. We always recommend to do your research before backing.
Skybound has launched the campaign for the Kickstarter-exclusive Extremity: Signature Edition, collecting the masterwork Extremity from Daniel Warren Johnson like never before. The campaign is live on Kickstarter now.
The Extremity Kickstarter campaign features two distinct books – Extremity: Signature Edition, the core 256-page book that presents all 12 issues of the comic book in 12” x 17” format, and The Art of Extremity, a 128-page book that presents a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Extremity, sized at 8.25” x 11.75”.
Extremity: Signature Edition showcases Daniel Warren Johnson’s Extremity, where the beauty of Studio Ghibli meets the intensity of Mad Max, in a stunning new format at the same size as originally drawn. Readers will be treated to Johnson’s unlettered line art at actual board size (12” x 17”, versus the traditional comics size of 6” x 10”), bringing Extremity to life in an oversized, eye-popping format.
The Art of Extremity contains a foreword by Daniel Warren Johnson, as well as never-before-seen sketches and concept artwork for Extremity. A window into the mind of a worldbuilding creator, The Art of Extremity is a perfect companion to the Extremity: Signature Edition.
The campaign also exclusively presents tiered access to Extremity merch, including prints, bookmarks, and T-shirts, as well as signed editions and two retailer levels for comic book shops. Previous backers and mailing list members will also receive a free Extremity title logo pin when they back the campaign.
Extremity: Signature Edition is the first time that Skybound has offered comic book content in this format and will also launch a new product line at Skybound of books that collect the original art of a comic at board size of 12” x 17”, with more announcements to come.
The Extremity: Artist Edition campaign is live now on Kickstarter, with stretch goals and campaign-exclusive products to be announced through the close of the campaign, Wednesday, March 27, 2024 at 12:00 PM PT.
