Hey Backers,

The awesome Jerry Ma is letting us use some of his table space to sell issue #1 of Monkey and Peach! Come say hi and check out some awesome stuff by Epic Proportions.

Patrick Chen the director of our Kickstarter video just launched his own project. A Father’s Son is a noir genre film set in NY Chinatown in the 90s. Also Monkey and Peach's very own David "Azroix" Bettencourt is working on the project as well!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chenxihao/a-fathers-son-a-90s-chinatown-noir-thriller?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=jack%20yu

A Father’s Son is story-spinoff based on author Henry  Chang’s crime novel series featuring NYPD Detective Jack Yu. Set in the  early '90s when local street gangs terrorized Manhattan’s Chinatown, our  story centers on Detective Jack Yu investigating the murder of a  teenage boy involved in a turf war. Amidst the broad distrust and racial  divide between the Chinatown community and NYPD, our lone lawman  searches for a nondescript immigrant family to deliver a shattering  message that also brings forth his own conflicted relationship with  Jack’s father.

Bestiary Release!!
over 4 years ago – Mon, Sep 16, 2019 at 11:48:55 PM

Hey Backers!

https://westboundcomics.bigcartel.com/

Issue #1 is a wrap, with the release of The Onmyoudo Bestiary!

Onmyoudo Bestiary

The Onmyoudo Bestiary is now available for download. Kickstarter backers can find their download in the digital link section of their surveys. If you lost the link to yours send us a message and we'll gladly resend it.

The Onmyoudo Bestiary showcases 7 different youkai in the world of Monkey and Peach. Through the eyes of the Onmyoudo, the bestiary paints a picture of the strange and powerful youkai that inhabit the land of Wa; from malevolent beasts to powerful deities. We plan to add more and more creatures to the bestiary with each new issue, and maybe even a bound and printed version in the future; until then we hope you enjoy what we've created!

With the premiere of Issue #1, we'll be tabling at several conventions such as the upcoming NY Comic Con and AnimeNYC.  If you're coming to these conventions feel free to stop by and shake our hands, get your book signed, or just drop by and say hi! Stay tuned for more news on our tour by following us on twitter and Instagram. 

Whew! That's a lot of info to take in. Although the campaign for Monkey and Peach Issue #1 is complete, the journey is not over! We are currently conceptualizing and building on the 2nd issue as we speak, so keep an eye out for our next campaign to get your issue!

Lastly we've set up an online store for digital and physical copies of the first issue. Please feel free to share with your friends at the link below! https://westboundcomics.bigcartel.com/
