Latest Updates from Our Project:

Incredible Week. Treat Yourself to A T- Shirt. Plus our Feud with Demon B!tch gets heated.
about 1 year ago – Thu, Sep 28, 2023 at 10:22:07 AM

Hey There Amazing Backer!

Week one is the books and what a week it was.  Funded in 48 hours. We're now at 142% with Stretch Goal 2 just $200 away (everyone gets a credit in our Special Thanks Page!). Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Who needs a new T-shirt?

I'm a T-shirt guy. Grabbing a T-shirt while on vacation or picking up some ironic T is sort of my thing. So it's surprising that I've never offered Turner Family Terrors T-shirts. Well, that's all changed with the help of our newest team member. Meet Intern Camdyn! She's my niece, collegiate Beach Volleyball player, and design major. She's whipped up 3 cool options for T-shirts: our Black Monster T, White Art Nouveau T, and Grey Athletic Logo T.  They come in any size and you can request 100% cotton or a blend. Your choice -  made to order. 

Here's Camdyn and Uncle Rob - Don't we look cute!

If you want to upgrade your reward and snag one of these Limited Edition Turner Family Terrors Ts, it's super simple: Start by clicking here to go to the page:

  •  On app: go to the "Manage Pledge" tab in Kickstarter, click the "..." tab at the top right, and then click "Edit Reward."
  •  On desktop: click the "Manage your pledge" tab at the top, click "change reward," and update from there.

Treat yourself to one of these dope T-shirts, and let's make Camdyn's day while we're at it. Love that girl!


Things are getting heated with Christie Shinn's Demon B!tch

Well, not really. In fact we're feeling the love from Christie's latest campaign: Demon Bitch : I HATE YOU ALL! Kickstarter . So much so we've decided to do Crossover Print between Turner Family Terrors and the Demon herself.  Christie and I are pals but unfortunately Demon Bitch and little Sophia Turner hate each other's guts. Hopefully they can work things out. Backers of both the Turner Family Terrors Campaign and Demon Bitch will receive this Kickstarter Exclusive print (physical signed miniprint for Physical backers, Digital High Rez copy for digital backers) But go back Christie's campaign now as this battle will end when both campaigns wrap up. 

Christie has adult books but is also offering up a Children's book which I quickly snatched up. I mean I have to see what a Demon B Children's book looks like.  Head to her page here to see what everyone is complaining about.

Friends of the Turners!

And here's another project you might be interested on Kickstarter. 


The Neverland 1-4: A Dark Fairytale Fantasy Adventure

"Hook meets The Neverending Story when a boy embarks on a perilous journey to find Peter Pan and bring magic back to a broken Neverland.

Inspired by fantasy films of the 80's and 90's, this is an action-packed, fantasy-adventure filled with familiar but reimagined characters and a heartfelt coming of age story to be treasured and enjoyed by readers both young and old!

The Neverland means everything to me. It’s a story about holding onto hope and love during difficult times. It’s a story about adapting to the changing world around us. It’s the story of a boy becoming the light a family needs in dark times."

The Neverland currently sits at 80% funded with 2 days left. Help it cross the finish line.

Stretch Goals Unlocked. Plus Fractured Shards and Crimebusters

Hey There!

Well I took a couple days off from the Kickstarter to fly to Oklahoma to attend the wedding of my first cousin once removed (I had to look that one up). It was a raucous affair with my sister and brother both flying in to party down.  The three little Krisch kids, all grown up and goofing around on the dance floor - so much fun.  I'm back home now in Culver City, and guess what?  We are funded!!!  So y'all know what that means. Time for some Stretch Goals! Up first at 4K, let's supersize this mother.

I have a bunch of surprises in store for you over the next few days and weeks so stay tuned. Spoiler Alert: You're getting more free stuff.

Friends of the Turners
 

One of my favorite parts of running any Kickstarter campaign is when I get to highlight cool books from friends and fellow creators - books I'm supporting. I've got a couple for you today.  First up is Fractured Shards from my buddy Shaun Keenan. This book was nominated for a Ringo Award this past year, and I voted for it - cause its amazing!

Fractured Shards Vol 1, 2 & 3
A 48 page cyberpunk crime graphic novel of quantum proportions from the creative mind of Dan Feuerriegel. 

Here's some info from his page:

In a dystopian future, the world is separated into the glittering paradise of the LIGHTS and the slums of the DISTRICT. Detective Sebastian Vetro works on the most horrific of cases between both worlds as an enforcement officer. When a horrific crime occurs, sometimes that moment can fracture opening up glimpses into the event.

Follow troubled Detective Sebastian Vetro on this crazy cyberpunk ride as he uses these fractures that he experiences to solve crimes within the Lights and District.

Will he be able to control this power he seems to have obtained or will it destroy him?

You can visit Fractured Shards here.

next up...

 Crimebusters
 

 The Crimebusters vol 1: Mysteries, Ghosts & Weird Adventures
Collecting The Crimebusters #1-5 for 175+ pages of adventure in the classic Scooby-Doo tradition!

"When supernatural events and weird spirits begin haunting the campus of Curtiss Tech, it's up to student sleuths Chuck Chandler and Trixie Trouble to solve the mysteries... before somebody dies!

The Crimebusters Volume 1 collects issues #1-5 of the hit ongoing indie comic series The Crimebusters in one softcover trade edition, presenting five extra-long creepy stories of ghoulish delight in full color for the first time!"

Crime Busters is from my friend Scott Harris and this gem has only 3 days left on Kickstarter and needs a little help crossing that finish line. Scott's at around 75% so pick up a copy and help him see his passion project come to life.

You can visit Crimebusters here.

Funded! Plus Mandril PI teamup ends in a few hours. Don’t miss this cool crossover print.

We funded! 

Woohoo! Everyone on the tft team would like to give a big thanks for supporting this passion project of ours. We couldnt do any of this without your support, enthusiasm and love. So Thx!

But this party is far from over as we have a ton surprises in store for you over the next 3 weeks.

Starting with our cool teamup with Mandrill PI. Backers of both the Mandrill PI campaign and our TFT4 will receive a bonus Miniprint of the dynamic duo in action. You can click here to back Chris Brimmage's Mandrill PI and check out this print!

It's got a Hellboy meets Who Framed Roger Rabbit kinda feel. And for backers of both campaigns (Mandrill PI, currently live, and our TFT#4), they'll receive this limited edition signed mini-print illustrated by Mandrill PI's own Carlos Trigo.

Chris’ project ends in just 15 hours so head on over and explore the imaginative world of Mandril PI.

75% funded. Plus podcasts! -about to hop on the Comixlaunch Pod.
about 1 year ago – Thu, Sep 21, 2023 at 11:03:31 AM

What. A. Start!

After 2 days we've rocketed to 75% funded! Woohoo. It's been wonderful reconnecting with returning fans and meeting new backers.  Now it's time to hit some Pods. Last night I chatted with my good buddy Blake from Blake's Buzz.  I just love this pull quote Blake gave our book:

"I used to go to Church every Sunday, but since reading Robert Krisch’s Turner Family Terrors, I’ve gotten back to day drinking and distancing myself from family."

Next up is the ComixLaunch Pod hosted by another friend Tyler James that will tape in less than an hour - 11:30 PST, Thurs. Here's the link to watch.

Tyler is a titan in the indie comics game and I'm always there on day one for all the great stuff his Comixtribe brand cranks out. He's got a new comic on Kickstarter called Epic and it's, well, EPIC. I just love the premise. Here' some info from his page:

After a freak accident gives ordinary teenager Eric Ardor extraordinary powers, he does what you would do. He dons a costume and becomes EPIC. It’s a fanboy’s dream come true, but there’s a catch…

He’s powerless around anyone he is attracted to.

Living in Miami, home to the world’s zaniest supervillains and most alluring eye-candy, Eric must somehow protect his city knowing that at any time his powers might turn off whenever he is turned on!

Epic looks like such a fun read. Click Here to pick up a copy.

Mandrill PI and the Turners Team up

Plus just 60 hours left to back Mandrill PI and get this awesome Cross over print. Backers of both campaigns get this dope signed limited edition Miniprint.

And we'd love it if you could spread the word about our TFT4 Campaign, let's fund this baby today. Why the heck not.

Here's our link

Big Thanks!
