Fist of Justice Kickstarter

Collecting issues of Fist of Justice in a full color trade paperback. Plus offering the release of the all-new issue #6.

“I thoroughly enjoyed [Fist of Justice]. I was impressed with the way that you took what seemed to be designed to be a one-shot and segued into a series. The is-it-real-or-is-it-a-delusion angle was very well played... Nice work.” - Jim Shooter

WHAT IS THIS?

What started as a one-off, seven page story with a twist ending generated more positive feedback than we expected, so it was a no-brainer that we had to undo that twist ending and bring Fist of Justice back. Over the course of 10 issues (five lead stories in the 'Digital Webbing Presents' anthology and five of his own book) we built the world of Fist of Justice and were on the edge of hitting that next level when real life got in the way, as it does sometimes, and things ground to a halt. But, also as life does sometimes, doors open that you thought were closed and locked. Everyone involved agreed that the time was right to pick up the pieces, continue what we started and turn Fist into the hero we and the loyal fans who'd discovered him knew he could be. Collecting the first story arc into a trade paperback and releasing the sixth issue that's, oh, just a little past its original release date, is our first step.

WHO IS THE FIST OF JUSTICE?

So who is this Fist of Justice guy? What's the big deal? Fist of Justice is a man out of time, a cat with his heart in the right place -- a true hero from the 70s awakened in our time.
Fist of Justice was the super-heroic defender of Charm City until he made a fatal mistake that ended his career. He threw in the towel and was locked away and soon forgotten. But his power -- though dormant -- did not leave him. Now it has returned and resurrected FOJ -- restoring him as defender of a city dealing with the new villains of the 21st century. Villains who are tougher, stronger, and meaner than ever.

WHO WORKED ON THIS?

You know who got his comic book start in the pages of 'Fist of Justice'? That's right, Chad "Harley Quinn" Hardin and Yildiray "Supergirl" Cinar. We've also had the pleasure of working with many other talented folks shown below. And everything was written by Mike Imboden (FUBAR) and co-plotted/lettered by Ed Dukeshire (Hulk, Irredeemable, Sons of Anarchy)! Stories are colored by Matt Webb (E-Man, John Byrne's Next Men),Mickey Clausen (Toy Story, Ghostbusters), Deon Nuckols (Thor), and Ryan Scott. Artists in this trade paperback collection include:
