Outlaw Nights is a comic series being crowdfunded on Indiegogo.com. We are seeking backers who are fans of space opera, western, cyberpunk, and heist stories. This is a genre blend that delivers brutal action and intrigue. A new world to get lost in. Please note that this story is for ages 17+.
New Orleans, LA, November 10, 2022 --(PR.com)-- A blend of space opera, western, thriller, action, heist, and adventure. Welcome to the underworld of the 31st Century. Humanity has been colonizing planets throughout our galaxy and have just breached into others. However, history is very much repeating itself as the nations of earth are at each other's throats. Competition over territory and resources has given birth to a chaotic and tumultous time. As a result, a new Golden Age of Piracy has come into form. Big Brother cannot span the endless ocean of stars.
Our hero Cyrus Lawson is a refugee from the now destroyed nation of the United States. After a harsh 18 years of life, he has finally settled on a small, out of the way British colony known as Terez. Naive and heroic in nature, he seeks to live his life as a small town hero joining the Colony Guard. However, his dreams are ripped right from under him as the pirates of the ship, Hazard, invades Terez. Bit and Fusebox probe the archives of an Art Gallery that contain a hidden piece of data. This data will lead to a treasure that will turn everything on its head. Kodiak (and secretly, Serpent) run crowd control, but are challenged by our hero. In the resulting chaos, Serpent mysteriously takes Cyrus aboard Hazard as they make their escape. Now, Cyrus must learn how to survive the Pirate's Life, contend with his personal hatred for piracy itself and redefine his very black and white sense of right and wrong.
Genesis of a Renegade kicks off a 10 Issue Arc that brings us into the exciting future of Outlaw Nights. Back Issue 2 and get ready for Issue 3. They're just getting started.
Outlaw Nights is Fuseboxx Entertainment's first foray into the entertainment space. We are committed to creating comics crowdfunded by its readers, who have direct communication with us to critique and suggest what they would like to see.
The story is set in the 31st century where humanity has colonized outer space. Despite technological advancements, nations on Earth are engaged in territorial and resource conflicts. The colonies, strangled by Earth's control attempts, experience a rise in crime, leading to a new Golden Age of Piracy. The main character, Cyrus Lawson, seeks a simple life as a "small town hero" and joins the colony guard in a settlement called Terez. However, his expectations are shattered when the notorious pirate captain Ivory and the crew of the ship Hazard invade, searching for a valuable data fragment that leads to a game-changing treasure.
The Kickstarter campaign for "Outlaw Nights" is introduced by writer/producer Ben Fuselier. The campaign aims to fund the completion of Issue 2, featuring artwork by Juanito Arceneaux and coloring by Marcos Martins. The campaign offers backers the opportunity to obtain Issue 1 as an add-on or through a special two-for-one deal. The goal is to make "Outlaw Nights" an 8-issue arc and establish it as a franchise. Fuselier expresses the need for funding to increase the size and frequency of future issues. The campaign presents basic rewards and limited add-ons, such as posters, with the intention of minimizing potential delays. Fuselier assures backers that risks are being mitigated and sets a delivery date of January 2024, although he aims to complete and ship the book earlier. The campaign provides contact information and encourages supporters to join the adventure.
Humanity has been colonizing outer space. History is very much repeating itself, as the nations of earth are at each other's throats, competing over territory and resources. Technology, extremism, and polarity have advanced, but the issues are very much the same.
In spite of earth's attempt to stranglehold the colonies is backfiring, as the vast expanse of space has given birth to a new Golden Age of Piracy. Crime is booming. In the midst of the chaos of government and rebellions galore, we have our main character: Cyrus Lawson. Cyrus has had a rough upbringing and is seeking a life as a "small town hero." He has joined the colony guard of a small, insignificant settlement known as Terez. He figures that he won't have to deal with anything serious...he is very wrong...
The pirates of the ship Hazard, led by the infamous captain known simply as Ivory, are invading the settlement seeking a special data fragment. This will lead them to a treasure that is a complete game changer.
My name is Ben Fuselier. I am a writer/producer from New Orleans, La. Two years ago, I launched Outlaw Nights: Genesis of a Renegade Part 1 on Indiegogo. We had fantastic success! Then life happened...
Now, finally, the line art for Issue 2 is completed (pending further edits). Our interior artist this time around is Juanito Arceneaux, the artist for the indy hit Dwarves vs. Lions. The funding goal this time around is lower. All funds go to coloring (our colorist is Marcos Martins this time around. Gorgeous work!), lettering from Eric Weathers, production, and distribution. Hopefully, if we can exceed our goal, we can get a head start on Issue 3.
Issue 1 saw Cyrus being mysteriously kidnapped by the pirates of Hazard. Now, he is going to have to learn how to survive in the underworld of the 31st Century, which will definitely challenge his rigid sense of right and wrong.
Back a space pirate adventureMissed Issue 1? NOT A PROBLEM! We are offering Issue 1 as an add on, as well as a special and limited TWO FOR ONE SPECIAL!!! Get in while the getting is good!
This Issue is going to be 25 pages long. Issue 1 was also that length. Initially, these two were actually one issue, but I had to split it into two for cost reasons. I'd like to increase the size of the issues going forward, but it will require MORE FUNDING (gasp).
The ultimate goal is to make this story an 8 Issue arc at least. I am hoping to get this going as a franchise. I have been imagining this world and concepts going on almost 20 years now (good Lord). And I'd like to be able to produce these more than once every two years.
This campaign is very basic and straightforward. In order to mitigate potential delays or complications, I am not offering too many add ons. I am mainly offering 3 posters that you can tack on to your order.
Click on a reward and choose from the add ons to assemble your perfect order! You are the producer/customer. I will do everything I can to ensure your mind is blown. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
Our goal is set precisely to what we need and I am setting the delivery date to January 2024. I am intending to get the book done and mailed out to you much sooner, but I am setting the date far in advance on the outside chance of major delays.
One thing I have learned working in film and comics is that Murphy's Law of Effect is very real and must be accounted.
