RIPPED #3! Time to make some noise!20064

CBCS Pressing SteveRicketts private msg quote post Address this user
Ripped #3 has been written and I'm in the process of drawing it. I'm trying to get it done in time to run the Kickstarter campaign by the end of the year.

In the meantime, I thought I would share a teaser of one of the variant covers.
Can you guess the homage on this one?

I'm still working on Ripped #3.
Dare I say I'm running a little...behind. 😂

I'm planning to get the campaign running by the end of February/early March. I still have work to do, but it is certainly coming along.

Ripped 1 and 2 were good, but this one. Man oh man! Y'all ain't going to believe this one!

TWO BIG first appearances!
One you've been waiting on!
The other will steal your heart!

When I launch, I'm going to give a few finished teaser pages. This is the pencil preliminary of one of those teaser pages.

Did you account for it being a leap year?

Funny you should mention it. I've had a lot going on the past 8 months or so and haven't had enough time to work on this.

I am making good progress again, however. I did have to do some rewriting, but am getting back on track. I'll update with a more firm timeline once I get closer to completing issue 3. It's going to be a doozy!

Here's a teaser page in the meantime...

I’m sure the next chapter will be a gas…

I know this issue has been in the works for a long time. Life got in the way, but I'm back on it. This issue is going to be a monster in page size. This part of the story needs to be done properly and I don't want to split it up into two issues.

I'm going to make an effort to get #3 finished by November '24.

Until then, here's the base version cover...

At this rate I expect a free copy of the last issue for my retirement. Just kidding!, but seriously..

Can’t wait! I assume you will post a link when #3 launches?

god so help me Steve; if you throw some random nonsense marvel plot twist like the phoenix egg in later issues I’ll make sure Ripped crashes and burns in an uncontrollable methane fire the likes of the department of sanitation has never seen!

@HulkSmash One thing I hate is an unforseen plot device that is used at a convenient time to prevent an unfortunate outcome. While I will have surprises, you can bet they will be hidden in plain sight.

I'll also try not to have too many plot holes. 😂

The artwork is done. I started assembling Ripped #3 over the holiday break and am making quick headway.

I will be sending everything off to the colorist soon and am hoping to launch the Kickstarter in March.

This one has been a long time in the making, but I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks go out to everyone for your patience and support!

Here's a sneaky peek at one of the variant covers...

Funny you should bring this up. I'm literally working on a page right now.

I am going to have a RIPPED booth at the North Texas Comic Show in Frisco on August 2nd. There will be a VERY limited Preview Edition of Ripped #3 available at the show.

The sign up page for the Ripped #3 Kickstarter will be submitted tomorrow night. It usually takes KS about a week to make it a live page. Once it is live, I'll keep it updated and give a projected launch date.

It's full steam ahead on this project and I have HUGE plans for Ripped going forward. But, I know, Ripped #3 comes first. It is finally happening!

...and boy, is this one going to be a DOOZY!

I'm frantically finishing up the first 20 pages this weekend so I can get the advance preview printed in time for the show in a few weeks.

Here's a sneak peak of the first four pages of RIPPED #3 for you guys to read.
I hope you enjoy it!

RIPPED #3 Preview!
