Are there three or four chicks in the band?
Are they good to go with Infinity scale?
This KS project is for the figures, or the combination figures, AND comic book?
Not bad, I'd really like some of those girls, but trying to figure out if I even want in on this or not.
When is the TV show going to happen, anyway? By now, ypoud think that this cat would want to put this to CGI and on the web for a subscription fee.
Not a real fan, but it does seem different enough that I'd like to see some of this on Adult Swim, or in Heavy Metal.
How much for the women!

Read the Free Mars comic to find out! ;-)

What scale is Infinity?

Both I think, just look at the pledges! ;-)
Just read the Kickstarter man!

I have me a new Salvage Crew addition.
Read through that web comic and the other thing, and thought that this was pretty cool. The kickstarter is just for the comics, not just the figures, but from what I see here we could easily have a little skirmish game and some other stuff.
I went ahead as well and put in for a 45 buck pledge, get me some of that T shirt action and the figures. I really dig that comic, it has a whole lot going for it.
Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

Its a shame there isn't a pledge option that only includes the miniatures, i really like the completed Samantha sculpt but have zero interest in either the signed books or T-shirt.
Anyone know if the girls will be available after this Kickstarter campaign is finished?

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House! |

First update has been sent out:
Marsers,
First, a huge thanks to all of you. I know it sounds contrived, but we are sincerely humbled by the show of support. Nic and I are very lucky to have you as readers.
Now, a little about Ashes2Ashes. The book starts about three months after the end of Riot Girls.
The cease-fire between the Combined Systems Corporation Security forces and the newly-minted Free Mars Confederacy is a tenuous peace, with skirmishes frequently breaking out in orbit and on the ground. The Combine continues to harass Free Marser shipping, blockading delivery of sorely needed supplies and equipment. The Confederacy’s Jovian allies also continue to help when and where they can, but a series of inter-corporate conflicts on the Outer Rim have forced the Guild-Princes to allocate troops to protect their frontier holdings.
To that end, in what is seen by many as a desperate move, President Isidis and the leaders of the Confederate pyramids have decided to normalize relations with Earth and its leader, the High Theocrat. Terra, though a barely livable husk, has become the solar system’s biggest supplier of raw material. Material much needed by the fledgling Free Mars democracy. Earth and its population of mutant Remnants have nullified their exclusive contract with the Combine, leaving the door open to trade with Free Mars. As a demonstration of potential solidarity, President Isidis and a small entourage have been invited to Earth to meet with the High Theocrat himself. The success of this “cultural exchange” may determine the fate of Free Mars.
Earth, the Remnants, and the High Theocrat
Let me make something clear from the start: Earth is a complete shizz hole. And that’s potentially being unfair to actual shizz holes, of which there are some decent examples. The facilities at the Port Royale Casino on Titan are very posh. And there’s a bar on Io actually called the Shizz Hole, which lives up to its name in most aspects, but is a far more preferable location than Sol’s third planet. Earth hangs in space, grey and toxic, like a sick rock. I know what you’re thinking, and yes, rocks can be sick.
Whether it was the wars, the pollution, the natural disasters, or the will of fuqqing god - as the Remnants claim - it all adds up to the same thing. Earth is well and truly naff’d. You can’t spend more than six unprotected minutes on its surface without being fatally irradiated or contracting Type-7 “Manchester” Ebola. I guess I understand why my great grandparents ejected for Mars. The homeworld had become the system’s garbage dump and the remaining population a twisted and noxious reminder of a fate we were trying to avoid.
-Hannah Valerus, Captain of the corvette Charybdis
No one knows exactly how many mutant Remnants remain on Earth or how many vast waste-mines twist deep below the surface of the withered planet. But one thing is certain, Earth has become an important resource for the rest of human space. The Terrans have mastered the industrial processes of transforming their continent-sized landfills into valuable material for their colonial offspring. The influence of the toxic world and its fanatical inhabitants grows every solar year.
The details of the Terran Remnant religion remain vague to off-worlders. But the main belief involves Earth as deity, a god ravaged by its children, sleeping in a state of torpor, and waiting for Rebirth. The Remnants see themselves as caretakers who are deeded with the holy mission of nursing their god back to health. They see their own mutations and wide-spread sterility as punishment, though one they are eager to accept. They revel in their diseased state and proudly bear their plight as one granted by Holy Earth.
Their supreme leader is the High Theocrat. As his name suggests, the Remnants have no secular authority and every major decision comes down from above, literally. The Tabernacle is an orbital city, floating high above the largest of the Remnant waste-mines. It is tethered to Earth by a massive space elevator. This elevator delivers the processed waste to the Tabernacle where Remnant ships wait to carry Earth’s “bounty” spinward to the rest of the solar system.
A very few number of Remnants become missionaries. These Chosen make their homes on Port Luna, Mars, the Jovian moons and some small handful even make it to the Outer Rim worlds.

I very much agree. And these guys might actually have the tabletop experience to make something worth playing rather than just buying.

So I asked them about doing just a miniatures pledge and they told me they considered it but decided against it as this is about the comic and not just the minis. It's a all encompassing hobby (my words there) and they want to give everyone the whole package. I was told though that Chris will have them on sale at his site, and since I am working out a deal with him my site too  _.
