Kickstarter Korner! Chatting With Dan Parent About DIE KITTY DIE! at FORCES OF GEEK
You all know Dan Parent and Fernando Ruiz even if you think you don’t! Dan and Fernando have been taking care of the Archie Comics characters for years now and this Kickstarter Korner is dedicated to their latest creator owned project,Die Kitty Die!
By the time you read this on Wednesday, they’ve reached their goal, but that doesn’t mean you can’t contribute. On the contrary, the model for this Kickstarter is that the rewards get better as the stretch grows.
Dan took the time to talk to us today about this very exciting new universe of characters and the world of Kitty Ravencraft, comic book hero and real life witch who is being hunted down by her greedy comic book publisher in Die Kitty Die!
FOG!: Dan, congratulations on the funding, it looks like it is going pretty well so far!
Dan Parent: Yeah, we’re at 71% (at time of interview) which is pretty good for our third day! We want to hit our goal but we want to go over because we are going to add more incentives, we’ll add pages to the book. The more money, the better the project gets.
Tell those out there that don’t know, what is Die Kitty Die!?
Die Kitty Die! is about a comic book character, who in our universe has been around for a long time and her sales are low. Her publisher asks, “What are we going to do to generate publicity or sales? We’ve got to kill her off”!
In our world it’s a little different because in our world the characters are also real. So, they have to really bump her off.
Not just bump her off in the story, they really have to get rid of her.
Things get a little more complicated because Kitty is a witch, so how do you kill a witch?
