Comic Book Boom! Origins #8

We're setting stretch goals to bling out the Comic Book Boom! Kickstarter edition with classic '90s comic gimmicks.

Last issue, we asked subscribers to pick the perfect poster...

The vote is in — it's the astonishing Arachnoid, seen here sporting his classic '90s trench coat look!

But, dear readers, we'd be remiss if our ultimate collector's edition didn't come with an exclusive trading card...

The design chosen by our newsletter subscribers will be part of our ultimate collector's edition.

Keep your eye on the prize, dear readers! We'll reveal the winning card plus all of our reward levels coming up in our next issue.

Finally, congrats to Bryan R. on winning three rad '90s books!

All summer long, we're giving away totally extreme back issues to lucky subscribers who help us pick origin stories for our characters. Here's the winning origin story for X-Blade:

Peter Eastman was a talented engineer who was betrayed by his business partner and left for dead in the sewers. Adopted by a secret underground ninja clan, he rebuilt himself from scraps. Now, as X-Blade, Peter uses his new abilities to seek revenge and protect his found family.

Help tell the next chapter of our origin story

Lucky gadabouts who help us create origin stories could win even more vintage '90s comics from the Gadabout Gada-Vault.
