This has been a few years in the making. The FUBAR: By the Sword trade is finally ready to print. Kickstarter has been kind to us in the past and we're offering a number of rewards that will hopefully make this version a successful one. FUBAR: BTS contains stories from the individual issues (including the "Guts and Glory" one shot) along with some all new material from a few dozen independent creators.
The campaign went live a few weeks ago and it proved to be a poplar one from the start. I took a screenshot of when it reached the magical 2099 mark:
Now we're into stretch goals as we wind down the campaign. They include some bookmarks, book plates, and trading cards so far, and the one I'm most excited about is an all-new 32-page issue that features musicians titled "All the King's Corpses". Here's the cover, by Danny Cruz and Paul Little:
The lead story, drawn by Rob Croonenborghs, features Elvis Presley and Richard Nixon as they team up to take on the zombie menace. I'm kind of enamored by Elvis's more mythological features, so I had a lot of fun writing it. The book also has stories about the Doors, Waylon Jennings (written by Larry Franks) and another entry by me with art by head honcho Jeff McComsey and featuring "Weird Al" Yankovic. I hope that it's received well.

It ends in just over a week. Get some new FUBAR while you can!
