I overlooked making the announcement here, but thanks to so many awesome backers, The Wretched has far exceeded its funding goal for printing and shipping last Friday morning! So, what's happening right now, is we are waiting for the backers to finish up their surveys, then Kickstarter to send the funds over, and then begins the process of sending out the books and other rewards to backers.

One week left for the Kickstarter of The Wretched! :o
I added some new stretch goals, by the way. o.o
If we can get to 85 backers, we will unlock BUTTONS, using our sticker art design!
If we get to 95 backers, a new print+digital comic will be unlocked as well!
But it requires backing the project to unlock them! Even if it's $1, you'll be helping us reach these new stretch goals before the campaigns' end. ^___^
Be sure to click in the link above to check out the campaign and see if you'd like a copy of Book 1 to read! Thank you to everyone who has supported!
We are getting closer to the end! O___O

Just wanted to give in an update! The Wretched #1 on Kickstarter has far exceeded the funding goal, now currently at over $1,700 and over 50 backers! Not only that, but we crossed two stretch goals, which include 3 digital comics EACH to be sent FOR FREE to every backer (that's 6 total so far)!
We have 19 days left for the Kickstarter to see how far we can push this out! Woo!
Thank you to everyone who has backed so far! your support means the world to me, and any additional funds left over will be put towards the next book, so the more funding we can get the better! ^___^
If you'd like to support by backing or sharing (you don't have to back it! Don't feel pressured to do so! Sharing it out helps me a lot, too!), you can go to the link here, or at the top of this page where it says "Support Fractured Heart Productions."
Once more, thank you guys so much! <3

EVERYONE! The Kickstarter for THE WRETCHED Book 1 launches TOMORROW!
Likely sometime in the AM, Eastern standard time (maybe 9am or 10am. Maybe a bit earlier). o.o
And for the first two days, you can save a couple dollars by selecting the EARLY-BIRD tier for the main cover of the comic. :)
And if you back it, you'll receive the story well-before it gets fully uploaded on here, so you'll get to experience it before most others on the GlobalComix app. ^___^
The Kickstarter will have digital tiers and physical tiers (which all also come with the digital book) for the FULL 70pg Book 1. The digital pdf's will come with all four covers included within it.
There will also be a set of stickers, bookmarks, and a print! :o
Be sure to click "notify" within the link here to know when it launches, so you can take advantage of the early-bird tier, or back whichever cover you like more!
See you very soon! And thank you for any/all support! ^___^

A great update for you all!
The Kickstarter for the FULL Book 1 of The Wretched (all 70pgs), will launch on April 21st!
I'll link to it here, where you can hit "notify" to be alerted for when it launches. We will have a choice of four different covers, some digital options, stickers, bookmarks, a spooky/moody print, and my eternal gratitude for your amazing support!
I have started development on this project about 10 years ago. It feels amazing to finally see this fully come to life. ^___^

Just want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it!
For me, it gives me a chance to see some family I haven't seen for a while, eat a whole bunch of great food with those I grew up with. We may end up playing a card game or two at some point. lol
Though I haven't really been close with everyone, I am thankful for the people around me. Family, friends, everyone. I am thankful for my friends, my fellow comic creators who have helped me along this journey, thankful for things like music, video games, writing, and everything else that helps get me by year after year.
No matter what, find ways to enjoy your day. Holiday or not. Do something or be with someone that makes you happy. Even though not everything may be ideal, it's important to keep yourself leaning into things you love and care about to get through it.
Lean into what you're thankful about and makes you happy. :)
And if you like... What are some things you are thankful for? o.o

Hello! Just did a quiet release of two comics I've sort of been working on the side from a series called "Tales of the Celestial Sea." This is incredibly different from my main series The Wretched, and includes the release of two one-shot stories titled "The Forgotten Isle" and "The Black Knife."
Both of those stories were inspired by surreal paintings of Mariusz Lewandowski, and somewhat in part the video game "Journey." Both comics have no words, and the stories will be left to your interpretation in looking at the pages of the artwork which are somewhat designed like paintings.
I hope you enjoy them both. :)

Ngl this was one of the first comics I’ve ever really read, and I enjoyed the hell out of it
The vibe, the details, the characters everything was so good. You actually got me hyped to get into comics now.

@96: Heck yeah! Definitely explore around, see what you like. Lots of great stories out there, and I hope you find more that you like!
And I'm happy to hear that you liked this one a lot, too! Glad you enjoyed the characters and vibe of the story so far. I look forward to uploading the rest of Book One soon. 😁
