CRUSADE’S 11th KICKSTARTER FEATURES
THE LEGENDARY WALTER SIMONSON & COMIC SUPERSTAR VARIANT COVERS!
A GRAPHIC NOVEL 35-YEARS IN THE MAKING
Revenge of the Warrior is set within the violent, neon-lit, Kabukichō district of Tokyo 1993, and features the character and story that inspired Tucci’s legendary Shi.
“Ran is very near and dear to my heart by being my “first” and the character that eventually evolved into Shi.” Stated writer/artist Billy Tucci. “We’re going to go all-out ‘Bad Girls’ on this one and I cannot wait to share her decade’s long story of vengeance and triumph!”
Revenge of the Warrior details one young woman’s war against a human-trafficking gang of American ex-pat killers aligned with the notorious Yakuza crime syndicate.
Billy Tucci’s latest graphic novel, Ran: Revenge of the Warrior debuts on crowdfunding platform Kickstarter this coming Thursday, November 20th, at 7pm EST/4pm PST. The short 22-day campaign will close at 11:59pm EST on December 22nd.
Ran launched on Indiegogo last month and reached its initial funding goal in less than ten minutes. The 23-day campaign closed this past Friday with over $75,000.00 in returns and the campaign’s first four Stretch Goals; the Ran Hardcover Trading Card, Billy Tucci Ran Mini-Print, Dan Lawlis Gilded Variant Trading Card, and the Leandro Oliveira Black Racer Vinyl Sticker all unlocked. Due to Crusade’s exclusive #NoFanLeftBehind campaign strategy, backers on both Indiegogo and Kickstarter mutually benefit from each platform’s stretch goals. All Stretch Goals come FREE to all Kickstarter and Indiegogo backers who pledged for a physical perk.
