The guys are Kickstarting the next volume of their good-hearted cosmic hero, Taft Sturgeon, with a 140 page Christmas special, “Holiday in the Stars.”David and Tony are long time collaborators with projects such as “Ancient Noise,” which is how the Revenge Crew first crossed paths with the duo. “Taft Sturgeon” originally debuted as a companion story in the Image Comics series “Shutter,” and was then later collected and kickstarted in a 35 page comic. Now Taft is back! This time he’s found himself being dropped right into the intergalactic North Pole. So get ready for some space Santa madness (oohhh yeahhhh), cause its looking to be a real holiday escapade!Crispino writes a Christmas classic that bucks the usual, done-to-death, Santa tropes and instead focuses on what is the true-north of the Yule spirit. The goodwill of mankind, or space-kind that is, and doing that which is right by way of those who matter most. Tony, who’s art may be familiar with his recent work on “Rick and Morty” and “TMNT,” brings the book to life with his exuberant cartoon styling and emotive physical comedy.With everything that’s happening in Earths zeitgeist “Taft Sturgeon: Holiday in the Stars” is a much welcomed holiday escape. Like a long-discovered John Candy flick, it brings the heart and soul that is sometimes lost in this hustle and bustle of this holiday season.

Entering the tiger den for the very first time is Chicago’s own, comic creator and cartoonist, Jim Terry! One of the nicest human beings in the comic industry! The Revenge crew was lucky enough to meet him last spring in Seattle at ECCC 23’. A Native American cartoonist who’s worked on numerous books, such as “The Crow: Skinning the Wolves,” and “Alice Cooper VS Chaos,” is making some serious waves in the literary world with his incredible memoir “Come Home, Indio.” Originally released during the lost-times of the pandemic, the book has experienced a massive resurgence in its second release. Being heralded as a “One of the Top Ten Graphic Novels of 2020” by the American Library Association. “Come Home, Indio” is a powerfully honest story that touches at the very soul of what it means to find ones place in the world. Jim illustrates an honest telling of his life from isolation and struggle, to finding a path through turbulent waters of youth and addiction. Truly a masterpiece in self-exploration of the human condition.On a personal note, I find that it’s very rare that you come across a autobiography in comics that is so genuine and relatable, that also peels back the fabric of social conditioning for a seldom heard perspective. Voicing what it means to exist in America, but also to persist as a creating artist. “Come Home, Indio” is in a class all of it’s own. It was an absolute pleasure to hang out with Jim in the “storyteller forest” of the Blue Tiger. He is currently working on the 80’s sword and sorcery cult-classic, “Deathstalker” with his good friend Tim Seeley and, legendary rock star, Slash for Vault Comics.

The tiger wanders into the digital realm with gaming director Sam Warner and his new, independent, release “The Foglands”.Like any good adventure story, this simulation shooter is the fruition of extensive research and painstaking attention to detail. Sam breaks down the lengthy development process Well Told Entertainment went through to make this a reality. From early concepting, to pitching, and production design, it is a lengthy process to say the least to reach the point of market release. And then there’s everything that comes after! If it takes a couple good creators to make a comic, then it takes an entire team to create a good video game (video game…damn I sound old). Like any good comic book, “The Foglands” emphasis is its narrative. A gothic themed sci-fi western, The player is immersed in a post-apocalyptic world as a runner who’s motivation is the survival of their isolated underground community. As one explores the bizarre and hellish world they are faced with monstrous creatures and a gauntlet of challenging obstacles. All while trying to out run “the FOG” and gather enough supplies and loot to help the community hang on just a bit longer!Artistically its cool as hell. The environments are rich and interesting with details that lend a very fresh visual perspective to the post apocalyptic landscape. It’s like “Bravestarr” meets “Aliens.” The creatures and characters encountered are wonderfully bizarre while still remaining subconsciously familiar. The Foglands is a Playstation hybrid for VR and FPS, so there’s a version for whatever your preferred method of play may be. In stores now and available for download, so keep the tiger milk fresh during these winter months and check it out!A note from Tadd: The “NOW” is the resurgence of the independent creator through crowd sourcing and self-publishing availability.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, David Silva returns with the greatest action figures ever created, CYBERZOIC!“…. Hold on to your butts.” You may already know David Silva as the main man and mind behind, literally, the best dinosaur figures on the market today, “Beasts of the Mesozoic.” Well he’s back , Jack! And with a project that’s even wilder. So don your armor, sharpen those blades, and saddle up that dino, cause Cyberzoic is here. Back-boning off the mountains of design and production work of BotM, he’s building a new world with a skeleton crew of amazing concept artists and designers. The story takes place on the future planet of Gaea 2. Sometimes fiction mimics life, as relations between rival factions breakdown over the discovery of outlawed Ai and things get very adversarial between colonies. Through the lens of a handful of prominent warriors, we’ll navigate conflicts of war and discover what lies at the heart of their fascinating world. Cyberzoic has all the tiger milk and then some; badass warriors, a character named Dragolina (who we love), advanced societies, intelligent dragons, genetically engineered creatures, and (of course) dinosaurs. What more can a kid want! As David says in the campaign: “Cyberzoic, like Beasts of the Mesozoic, is primarily a line of 1/18th scale prehistoric wildlife action figures featuring a high level of detail and articulation, with designs inspired by our natural world. But Cyberzoic takes the animals to the next level, adding converting armor sets, modular armor weapons, human rider characters, and natural history-inspired Dragons! In addition, several of the armor units are backward compatible with Beasts of the Mesozoic figures of similar size and type. So the Cyberzoic collection isn’t limited to these new offerings- you may have already started one!”The campaign is just a couple weeks into it’s launch and already smashed through it’s initial funding goals. With constant updates and new stretch goal rewards being revealed this is definitely worth sinking your teeth into.Oh yeah, and there is a Cyberzoic comic series that is in the works and our very own cohost is in the mix, if you get our drift (more to be revealed soon). So back, follow, support however you can. Silva is doing something fresh, unique, original, and we are here for it!“Cyberzoic” is currently live on Kickstarter, and you can checkout David’s “Beast of the Mesozoic” at Creative Beast Studio.A note from Tadd: The “NOW” is the resurgence of the independent creator through crowd sourcing and self-printing availability.

Another Rose City Comic Con is in the books and “Super Producer” Matty K. saddles up for another tiger ride as we break it down.It was a bit quieter this year for the Revenge Crew.

As stories are meant to be read, enjoyed;… a metaphysical walkabout within the consciousness. In other words the tiger milk is fresh with readers not sealers these days.The Crew also caught up with old friends, past guests, and new acquaintances. Overall, it was a solid event as BTR gears up for the Halloween season! Those beware of the spice of pumpkin that looms at your door by the morning star of the Bucks.

Frequent BTR favorite and indie work-horse writer, Steve Urena, returns yet again with more wild words from his foul mouthed mind!In the late out hours of Kickstarter, a hero with the mouth of a sailor will rise. A hero… who’s nothing, but a “Foul Mouth”! Steve’s newest independent floppy is another weird and wild concept, and we absolutely love it! Imagine a character who’s cursing and fragrant language of disrespect not only ads a bit of flavor to the flow of casual dialog, but it also empowers the character with the super powers to fight those committing criminal acts. You are in luck, because that’s exactly what “Foul Mouth” is.When a teen, Faye Flik, gets possessed by a demonic entity she is gifted with the abilities to weaponize her words of aggression. The more verbose her degenerate language the more powerful the attack. So get ready, cause this will make you grandma gasp because the pen, or in this case the mouth, is mightier than the sword.Foul Mouth is in it’s final stages of it’s Kickstarter campaign. It just needs one @#$*ing push to get it across the *@*^ing finish line. With only a few days left, it needs some *#%-#$)@&! fresh tiger milk.

The Blue Tiger get’s a heavy dose of Gamma with Eisner nominated writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson and his brand new “The Incredible Hulk” series from Marvel Comics! This is one for the “Monster Kids!” PKJ delivers the kind of Hulk that gives bad dreams nightmares. Gruesomely awesome visuals propel a story that delves into “the darkness” that lurks in the waiting-room of the mind. Inspired by the old school horror comics of yester-year; the kind that the “Comic Authority” would try to shutdown. It’s comic making that would make Bernie Wrightson smile. The series hints at pitting the Hulk against a gauntlet of Marvel’s best kept critters in a beloved monster-of-the-month format; something rarely seen on the modern “news rack.” With, top-ten artist, Nic Klein doing what he does best, the art is utterly INSANE! Waxing poetically, it may be some of the most powerful transformations sequences to grace the pages of a “Hulk” book in a long time. Here at BTR we tend to shift the gears toward the indie, but this is definitely a book to go mainstream for. Johnson brings a fresh and compelling twist to a frighteningly monstrous green guy. Speaking of indie though… Phillip has one of the best kept secrets in web-comics, that is if you don’t already know about it. “The Lost Boys of U-Boat Bremen.” Drown in the brine of this WWII tale of the deep sea.“The Incredible Hulk” series is dropping, NOW, monthly in your local comic shops and funny book pits, so check it out.
