State of Kane

The FATE of KANE
SEPTEMBER 15TH, 2023

After some conflicted thoughts and a failed Kickstarter, I have decided to rethink the future of State of Kane.

To put it simply, Braian Malfatti and I will begin work on the State of Kane graphic novel after the release of SoK #3 later this year; it will tell the entirety of Kane's story in one beautiful and exceedingly large book, but it will take quite awhile to create.

I am content with this decision as it allows me to pursue my other passions while giving us time to focus on one large project rather than dozens of smaller ones.

However, disappointingly, this website will most likely be taken down in the coming months, as I'm struggling to find a purpose for it, especially with the new direction State of Kane is going in.

I hope you'll all stay along and see whatever comes next, and I hope you're all just as excited as I am to see it!

SoK #3 Kickstarter announcement
June 4th, 2023

As the writing for SoK #3 wraps itself up, look out for a brand new Kickstarter coming our way in July!
Spread the word, as #3 is going to be our biggest yet, and I'd love for the Kickstarter to match that when the time comes.

New Year Updates
February 20th, 2023

Happy (incredibly late) New Year!
You've all probably been wondering what we've been up to with State of Kane, and it's looking pretty good!
We recently got issues #1 and #2 into my local comic shop, I've commissioned a Kane action figure (shown above), and I've begun the writing process on #3!
I was on a small hiatus after publishing #2, but now I've returned, and we're planning on having #3 be the biggest issue yet, with more publicity, and possibly another, more exciting Kickstarter!

Keep an eye out for what's to come!
