‘Soulfinder: Demon’s Match’ team announcement with Brett R. Smith
Soulfinder: Demon’s Match is a story about a major order of exorcists — all combat veterans who take on levels of evil that most of the world cannot fathom — and its June 14 IndieGoGo launch date is fast approaching.
Last night I had the pleasure of doing a live-stream with our team’s colorist, Brett R. Smith.
Our artist, Timothy Lim, is a drawing machine who had Godzilla-related obligations keeping him most of the night, but we’ll have him on in the near future.
Tune in to see what Soulfinder: Demon’s Match is all about and how it all came together over the last year.
‘Soulfinder: Demon’s Match’ — one writer’s response to a lost and confused comic book industry
Long-time readers of this blog, which started roughly a decade ago, know that for many years the content was focused on the slow-motion collapse of the comic book industry. Writers and artists started to see themselves as activists and, as a result, they abandoned the classic hero’s journey.
A small (but vocal) group of bloggers documented the mean-spirited, unprofessional, and partisan antics of creators — the most glaring examples often at Marvel — and in time a similar network formed on YouTube.
The history of what became known as “Comicsgate” is too long for a single blog post, but what can be said is this: Soulfinder: Demon’s Match is a direct response to an ailing industry that seems determined to throw itself into an abyss of irrelevance.
For years, critics of this blog and my YouTube channel have said: “Write your own comic if you can do better! All you do is complain!”
Last summer I silently responded, “Will do,” and then penned a tale about a major order of exorcists — all combat veterans — who take on levels of evil that most of the world cannot fathom.
Soulfinder: Demon’s Match is about a man named Father Patrick Retter and his recruitment into the order of Soulfinders.
- He is flawed, but his moral compass is sound.
- His faith is tested, but he strives to take the hard right instead of the easy wrong.
- He has many crosses to bear (like all of us), but he knows that virtue exists in carrying them with grace and dignity.
Along the way, Fr. Retter is mentored by a Vietnam veteran — Father Reginald “Reggie” Crane — and both men are aided by a young police officer named Gregory Chua.
In short, Soulfinder: Demon’s Match is my attempt to entertain people without lecturing them. It is my attempt to tell a tale of Good vs. Evil in a way that isn’t cheesy or preachy. It is my attempt to honor all the writers who inspired me throughout the years, and it is a “thank you” to everyone who encouraged me to enter the creative arena.
The book features covers by the legendary Dave Dorman, art by the extremely talented Timothy Lim, and is colored by industry veteran Brett R. Smith. I can’t thank them enough for all their hard work. They have consistently blown me away with their efforts.
I hope you consider buying Soulfinder: Demon’s Match when our IndieGoGo campaign launches June 14.
Again, thank you to everyone who has followed this blog for years, subscribed on YouTube, and interacted with me on Twitter. Your enthusiasm has been infectious and certainly played a part in bringing this book to fruition.
