About this project

GALAXYS FOR HIRE is an original series following two sisters attempting to mend their broken relationship as they race to retrieve their stolen ship The Galaxy Girl, prevent a corrupt government from using a devastating giant, mystical mech robot WMD, and save the universe from annihilation at the hands of an ancient creature known as The Nibiru. 

"A great sci-fi adventure that doesn't forget that adventures are supposed to be fun." - Charles Soule (writer; Marvel's Daredevil , Poe Dameron)

The all-female crew of The Galaxy Girl are hired to deliver a cache of Quantum-Hallucinogens to a planet of mythical-God worshipping natives, however, the mission is quickly revealed to be a set-up and it isn't long before the Intergalactic Union of Planets (IUoP) sends in their elite police force to impound the girls’ ship and arrest the team. Little do they know, their ship is the missing piece to an ancient, powerful weapons that could help save (or destroy) the galaxy.

The sisters and their crew must race the clock to build an army big enough to fight the IUoP, protect the planet stronghold of the Independent movement (a rebellious uprising of those who believe the Union is an evil empire), steal their damn ship back and, somehow, get paid!

THIS BOOK IS DONE!

Perhaps the best part of all is, this comic is completely drawn, colored and lettered and ready for press! Hell, we've even GONE to press for very very small print runs (only a couple hundred digitally printed copies) for comic-cons, so we're just waiting to give the green light to do our first real press run.

Why Kickstarter?

Great question. Comic books are a tough racket. There’s only so much shelf space and a near-infinite amount of content. Longevity is the name of the game, and the best way to secure our future is with a strong foundation. That is where YOU come in. By running a Kickstarter campaign for this first (double-sized) issue we’re hoping to build both a fanbase and a war chest to see us through the completion of this first 4 issue arc! And, we obviously want to give those readers that support GFH from the very beginning frickin' cool rewards!

Robert Kirkman: Invincible, Walking Dead, Wolf-Man

I wasn't actually a huge fan of Robert Kirkman when I first started reading his books.  He was competent, sure, but I didn't see the appeal-- The Irredeemable Ant-Man was a boring side story in the middle of  Civil War and  The Initiative (although I've since changed my mind about this), and his  Ultimate X-Men run was, in many places, a mixed bag (although I did very much enjoy his "Phoenix?" storyline).  And  Marvel Zombies  just seemed like a ridiculous idea--not that I bothered to try it at the time. Now, though?  I've completely reevaluated my opinion on his work, and when his name is attached to a project, I'm far more likely to give it a look.  I don't know if I'd classify him as a master storyteller or a comics icon--but he's very skilled, he has an incredible knack for dialog, and he writes stories that, no matter how ridiculous, seem real .  In a medium where characters frequently violate the rules of physics, that's not alway

What else did I finish reading last month?  Here’s a cross-section of various titles . . . . . . . . . WITCHBLADE #126 “War Of The Witchblade Part 2” by Ron Marz and Stejepan Sejic  (Top Cow/Image) Preface:  Now here’s an interesting concept! = In order to attract new readers to its’ titles Top Cow is giving out free books each month as part of it’s Let Us Win You Over project.  ( www.topcow.com/freecomics )  Every month it’s a different title. And they work through different comics shops each month as well.  In April the title was Witchblade #126 and one of the participating dealers was Captain Blue Hen Comics in Newark, DE (my preferred supplier) so voila! - - - I find a copy in my hands. Since the last time I explored the Witchblade series the mythology has expanded to a battle between the forces of light and dark with each side choosing its agents on Earth, hence the Darkness vs. the Witchblade.  I’m still not overly interested in this type of fare on a regular basis, but

BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPs  (Top Shelf, May 2010 hardcover, black & white, 86 pages,   $12.95)  As told by JD Arnold with illustrations by Richard Koslowski What got my attention immediately was the pairing up of a classic fairy tale with musical motifs.  That’s a combination that pushes two of my “hot buttons” - -  so I made it a must-read.  I was not disappointed.  This is a very entertaining and cleverly designed work that rivals Bill Willingham’s  creativity on the long-running FABLES series from Vertigo. As if taking the classic tale of the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs and turning it upside down wasn’t enough to interest, BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPS  serves as an allegory for the oppression of  the black population in the deep South (Mississippi) in the 1920’s.  While they may be free (wolves),  the governing bodies (pigs) have the power to deny them their land, homes and possessions and even own the businesses and clubs they patronize as well as the shops they d
