Okay, so let’s get down to business…to defeat the pain in my left foot. Anyway, we have a bunch of updates to run through, so let’s get that out of the way, and then we'll move on to some fun stuff.
Rolling Squid Bones Updates:
We have a website! RollingSquidBones.com, where you can get our books directly from us! Including print copies of: Set the Hook, Tilney, Clove Hitch, and Age of Yokai! With more on the way. Including Dusk Vol. 1!
Set the Hook is changing its formula for issues 3 & 4.
It’s been decided that Issues 3 & 4 will be on one Kickstarter, with the trade also being available. This means that you will get the whole book sooner rather than later! So stay tuned for more updates on that.

Laurie Calcaterra’s Path of the Pale Rider joins the RSB Family…
What would you do if, upon death, your soul didn’t leave your body? You are now trapped in decaying flesh, and the world no longer makes sense. Forgetfulness, violence, or indifference set in. People, animals, insects, … the death process has been broken for all. 10 years into the apocalypse, most people just try to scrape by, but Jude St. Clair is tirelessly searching for the answer to the question: Why do the Dead no longer die? What will he discover? Government Conspiracy? Chemical Spill? Meteor from space? Sentient Yogurt? Come with Jude and his trusty horse, Prince, on their path through famine, riots, and the fall of society as they try to survive long enough to uncover the truths, each more unbelievable than the next. You don’t want to miss this extraordinary journey through the wasteland. Can Jude heal the world or succumb to an eternity of decay?
Path of the Pale Rider will be up on the website soon, so stay tuned! With Globalcomix and Drivethru to follow!
Dusk Vol. 1 by David Doub also joins the RSB Family along with the other Dusk series!
As a battered wife, Eve's only concern was to keep her marriage together. But when she is kidnapped into the sordid supernatural world of vampires and foul magic, Eve finds she doesn't want to leave. Her mysterious benefactor, the Vampire Lord Ash, wish her to have a normal life but Eve chooses to stay in the service of Ash. Dusk is the stories about Eve and her challenges living in the darkness. Dusk is a supernatural action/drama story done in a dynamic blending of the sequential art styles of American Comics and Japanese Manga. Several artists help tell these stark noir tales of Vampires and Unrequited Love.
Look for Dusk Vol .1 on RollingSquidBones.com for the PDF version, while the print version will be out soon! Stay tuned!
Haven by Brayden Viloria has joined as well!
A traumatized detective struggles to contain super-powered destruction in his hopeless city. Dynamic superhero action that feels like a blockbuster movie on a comic book page. Haven is the story of a broken detective and a well-meaning superhero as they try to inspire hope under dour circumstances. The look and feel give vibes of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming’s series, Powers. A killer debut from Brayden Viloria and Leonardo Utin, and a fantastic launchpad into the Rook City Universe.

Sketch Knight–Draw Your Wildest Dreams Into Existence.
The world is changing. Divisions between everyday citizens and the powerful “enhanced,” have caused a surge in violent crime.
When William Wilds discovers he can possess any superpowers he draws on his magic sketch pad, he vows to use his imagination as a force for good.
Now he must keep his social life and high school career separate from his high-stakes conflict with the evil crime syndicate.
Sketch Knight is a nostalgic throwback to classic Spider-Man stories with the dynamic energy of Fullmetal Alchemist. It’s set in Rook City, home of the popular comic Haven #1, by writer Brayden Viloria. Sketch Knight features art by Victor Silva and will be launching soon.
And now for something fun!
Rolling Squid Bones is working on an anthology
From the studio that brought you Caveman with a Gun... comes the next big, bad idea:
“There Is Only a Sexy Lady on the Cover” An Anthotlogy
Theme:
The Mediocre, The Mundane, and The Terrible, and of course, a sexy lady will be on the cover.
Putter Together: Chad Perkins
Editor: J Hammond
Concept:
We’re looking for creators to submit their most mediocre, mundane, or downright terrible content. Got a rejected short story? Send it. A random poem? Yup. Your favorite cookie recipe? Sure, we’ll take that too. If it’s weird or boring, it's exactly what we want.
Why? Two reasons:
We want to bring the indie comic community together and give rejected or forgotten stuff a chance to shine.
It's for charity. We’ll let the people who submit help decide which charity gets the proceeds. Because, hey, we’re good people.
Submit to: Submissionsrsb@gmail.com
