The Few and Cursed 💀

Created by Felipe Cagno

Welcome to The Few and Cursed & Timberwolf Entertainment online store! Please scroll down for all our titles, collectibles and extras including digital editions of sold out books like both 321: Fast Comics volumes. The Few and Cursed is a creator-owned comic book series about people trying to survive a wicked world where most of the water was gone overnight in a mysterious apocalyptic event in 1840. The Redhead is a hardened survivor that was born in this reality and now fights to protect the innocent. As the land fell into darkness a group of men and women decided to take a stand and fight back, they are known as Curse Chasers.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Happy New Year, folks! Lots happening in The Few and Cursed universe in 2021, check out our announcements!
over 3 years ago – Wed, Jan 13, 2021 at 06:36:29 PM

Hello there!

I'm afraid I don't have much to report regarding The Few and Cursed TPB as I was on a much deserved break during the holidays. This is my first week coming back to work, I'm feeling refreshed and creative so hopefully I will have exciting news soon.

However, I felt it was important to share a quick message and kick off my plan to update you and the project on a monthly basis at least. 

I might not have anything new to share about the trade but boy oh boy do we have an exciting year ahead of us and lots of announcements to make. So why not get started, right?

SEASON 2 ANNOUNCEMENTS!

As soon as this campaign is fulfilled we will hit the ground running on Season 2 with a number of titles designed to expand The Few and Cursed universe in a huge way. 

Back when Fabiano Neves and I started working on the Crows of Mana'Olana books we thought we were working on a mini-series but as Chronicles and the board game came along we realized this is a rich universe filled with exciting stories and populated by eccentric characters people wanted to know more about.

While Season 1 was comprised of three titles only (The Crows of Mana'Olana, Chronicles of TFAC and Shadow Nation), we are really doubling down on development of the next season.

Here's what's already in development:

- Brand new six-issue story arc that's a direct sequel to the Crows of Mana'Olana

- Chronicles of the Few and Cursed Vol. 2

- The Few and Cursed: Shadow War

- Untitled new young adult TRILOGY graphic novel series

- Mystery spin-off title

The new six-issue story arc already has a title and has been outlined and I'm thrilled to share we will be introducing a whole new cast of characters. As soon as Fabiano starts working on concepts and designs I will make a bigger announcement \o/

I cannot wait to start announcing more details about all the projects  above. While I will continue to personally oversee the expansion of The Few and Cursed universe I'm thrilled to share I won't exactly be writing all of the above myself and I cannot wait to see what new voices bring to the  table.

Once again thank you all so much for your support towards TFAC and as always anything you would like to say, any questions, critiques, please do not hesitate to write me at [email protected] or just drop a comment below. 

Until the next one!

Pledges have been collected now comes the hard part: waiting... in the meantime though how about some new art reveal?
over 3 years ago – Fri, Dec 18, 2020 at 12:34:40 AM

Howdy, my friends!

It's been a little over week since our grand finale and I can finally call this Kickstarter campaign complete. 

All pledges have been collected, unfortunately there were a lot more dropped pledges than I'd have anticipated but hopefully most of the backers will be able to fix whatever was wrong with their payment method and come back to the tally on BackerKit.

Speaking of which I still haven't set a date for BackerKit Surveys to be sent out but it won't be sooner than mid to late February so hang tight, enjoy the holidays and some vacation for those lucky enough to take them.

I for one will take a couple of weeks off between now and January and I could not be more excited about it! I've been working long hours and straight without any weekends or holidays since October 12th so a break is more than welcome \o/

Before that happens though I wanted to share one last update with you all and the latest artwork I've received featuring the Redhead. This will be used as the mini-print sent to all backers that have purchase a hardcover edition of The Few and Cursed: Crows of Mana'Olana.

Please don't mind the text in Portuguese. It will be translated into English for the prints going out to backers of this campaign.

Oh and to those Western fans out there, yes, the artist Gustavo Borges was inspired by the old Lucky Luke comic book covers and wanted to pay them a rightful homage. I hope you like it!

Project(s) Spotlight

The Rotted Lyre and Apocrypha #1: A Discordia Winter Special

Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darktidingspress/the-rotted-lyre-and-apocrypha-1-a-discordia-winter-special

I've been doing these spotlights for a while now and I couldn't let these two projects slide by when their creators were so helpful and really offered a nice extra push on the last couple of days of The Few and Cursed: TPB Kickstarter campaign.

First up is a couple of Discordia spin-offs by good friends over at Dark Tidings Press. I think fans of horror and fantasy will really get a kick out of this one and the project is currently on its way to get 100% funded.

From their own page: "Discordia is the name given to the continent of Odessa that was formerly  controlled by the Concord, a fascist empire that united the people of  Odessa against the monsters that plagued their world. After its  mysterious downfall, reality seemed to shift in the provinces of the  Concord, leading to even more horrific monstrosities than ever existed  before."

Ruining Christmas #1: A cheeky comic caper!

Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sebastianajones/ruining-christmas-1-a-cheeky-comic-caper

Yep, you might remember seeing this one before and that's because it has been spotlighted before but Seb is a very good friend and was kind enough to share The Few and Cursed with backers from all his (really successful) previous campaigns so I wanted to give him another shout out as he heads towards his final week on Kickstarter.

This latest is well over 100% funded and hitting Stretch Goals so make sure to pay it a quick visit. From their own page: "Christmas is in the toilet, and it’s up to Gimble and Kuz to fix it. For  when our little elves get the #$%& beaten out of them by Li'l Joey  Canuggins, the rottenest kid in all the land, and lose Santa’s hat, the  source of all Christmas magic, they have to go on a mission (with the  help of the Red Rogue) to save the world and restore goodwill across the  snowglobe."

And with this, now is the perfect cue to wish all of you Happy Holidays and a terrific 2021 for all of us. I also wanted to thank you yet again for what was certainly one of the brightest highlights of my year, you were all brilliant and this Kickstarter campaign will certainly go down as one of the greats of The Few and Cursed universe.

Until next year!

Felipe

âš¡ THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! Season 1 of The Few and Cursed has officialy ended and what an ending it was! âš¡
over 3 years ago – Thu, Dec 10, 2020 at 06:15:07 PM

YOU ARE THE BEST FANS IN THE WORLD!!!

Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart please accept my gratitude. In a year like 2020 where we all suffered, we all isolated ourselves, we all made sacrifices, you were all able to bring joy to my life and help me end this crazy year on a high note.

Really, THANK YOU!!

Before I get into the nuts and bolts of everything that comes next allow me to announce the latest Stretch Goals unlocked and yes, I've decided to give a little back to all this overwhelming support you have all shown.

I've decided to unlock one extra story to be added to the book, another "321" short story, this one featuring Shadow Nation's protagonist: LaVerne!

Here's the last three SGs unlocked:

WHAT'S NEXT THEN?

First a little bit of business. Please note your credit cards probably have been charged already and if they haven't they will be in the next few days. If there are any problems Kickstarter will automatically ask for backers to fix the issue and try again for about a week or so.

Make sure your payment methods are up to date to avoid dropped pledges.

I cannot help with any payments problems, if you can't seem to fix it on your own please reach out to Kickstarter directly.

If by any chance your pledge gets dropped and you still have an interest in your rewards do not fret, you are still counted as a backer when I send out the Pledge Manager surveys via BackerKit. You will have yet another chance of correcting your payment method and confirm the pledge.

WHEN WILL THE FEW AND CURSED BE BACK ON KICKSTARTER?

Just hit the FOLLOW button right underneath my profile pic on the next page. Thanks!

We just wrapped up a campaign you already want to know what's next for Red and TFAC universe?

Sheesh... alright. This Kickstarter was the perfect ending to our Season 1 and Fabiano and myself have BIG plans for Season 2: a brand new Redhead adventure and a few more spin-offs down the road...

As a backer you'll probably hear all about it already through our Kickstarter updates but if you really don't want to miss anything and get notified every time a new campaign launches please click here and then hit that nifty FOLLOW button right under my profile pic on the next page!

No fuss, no muss and you'll be an insider on all things Few and Cursed.

WANNA A PEEK AT THE ADD-ONS COMING UP NEXT YEAR? OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO ALREADY RESERVE SOME OF THE MOST LIMITED ITEMS?

The link below will direct you to the online shop where you will be able to pre-order already some of the more limited items or just look up everything that will be made available when I send out the BackerKit Surveys early next year.

If you are interested in some of the past coins or variant issues, hurry, because most of those are pretty much sold out and won't be made available in the foreseeable future. Every item that's close to sold out has been clearly marked with a red label saying LIMITED:

https://tradefewandcursed1.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

Every order placed is more of a reservation and will be shipped at the same time of the rewards for this Kickstarter. Credit cards will NOT be charged at this time, it's really a reservation. You will be charged for those items only when Surveys close in 2021.

If you'd like to order the board game though then you need to head to Rock Manor Games' online shop where the game is already available and will be shipped promptly:

https://rockmanorgames.com/shop/

Once again here's my most heartfelt and humble THANKS to all of you that pledged on this Kickstarter, almost 3.00 backers is absolutely bonkers, thank you so much. I promise I will do my best to deliver the best books possible and provide the best experience as well.

It is impossible for me to guarantee there won't be any delays or challenges ahead but I'm always around, I always respond to comments or DMs and I am ready to listen.

I will regularly be in touch with you all via Kickstarter updates (make sure you are getting them in your e-mail accounts - remember to check your Spam or Junk folders) as we move along production up until shipping out your rewards.

Please know that I will send out BackerKit Surveys to fulfill your rewards and they are mandatory so keep an eye out for those next year.

My door is always open so to speak so if at any moment you have any questions, comments, critiques, please shoot me an e-mail at [email protected] or send over a DM right here through Kickstarter. I try to get back to everyone in about 48 hours.

Once again thanks so much for such a thrilling experience, this campaign really gave me goosebumps from beginning to end!

All the best and Happy holidays!

Felipe

Red rides again! Brand new "321" story added to the book along with 2 other Stretch Goals unlocked!!! 👻
over 3 years ago – Mon, Dec 07, 2020 at 10:27:30 PM

BANG BANG BANG!!!

There goes another three Stretch Goals, way to go, backers, you are the best in the world! Thank you all so much, I'm really appreciative of every dollar pledged, thank you \o/

We now have only four more Stretch Goals to go to unlock everything planned, that is bonkers, completely bonkers. Will we do it? Do we have enough time?

These past few days have been absolutely stunning with so many backers finding The Few and Cursed and enjoying everything we've done so far. I honestly have no idea how far we can go... I'd love to unlock everything planned, I have artists and stories in mind already for all three "321"s...

This late in the game as important as it is to find new backers there's much our current backers can do as well and I always like to bring this up:

With so much content being unlocked it's safe to say we are now catering to every tier so now it's that perfect time to upgrade your pledges. Whether from Digital to Print or from Softcover to Hardcover, from the books alone to a combo of books and board game, every dollar counts!

I invite you to check out the titles below and maybe add them to your pledges. Please bear in mind that everything listed below will be available as add-ons after the campaign ends as well:

Chronicles of The Few and Cursed

The Few and Cursed: Shadow Nation

Painting the World Red (a Redhead artbook)

The Few and Cursed Board Game

I have no idea what's gonna happen in the next 24hrs but I do know that this Kickstarter campaign has been nothing short of stellar and surprising. Let's go at those final moments with everything we got and I'm sure the sky is the limit!

Keep chasin' and keep killin' it!

Reveal of the finished art that will be printed on Chromium paper as a 9-card puzzle set! This will be included in every package shipping out \o/

Project(s) Spotlight

Aquarius the Book of Mer

Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bookofmer/aquarius-the-book-of-mer

As soon as I saw this pop up on Kickstarter I knew I had to back it. Afua Richardson's artwork is absolutely gorgeous and this just looks like a killer of a project not to mention the Image Comics seal of approval. 

From her their own page: "The Book of Mer follows Astara, a young girl who is plagued by  nightmares that appear to pour into her reality. Can she and her  classmates ward away these evil water spirits? We also meet Welson  Dallas Wallis, an anthropologist suffering from a mysterious illness  that he believes can only be cured by the scales of a Mi'kmaq mythycal  creature."

Menagerie: Declassified Anthology

Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mythdivision/menagerie-anthology

Myth Division has been putting out some cool books here on Kickstarter and their latest not only is fully funded but also boasts incredible art! The art alone is already worth a visit to their Kickstarter but it also looks fun, go check it out, you won't regret it.

From their own page: "The core of this science fiction anthology contains ten original stories  by some of the BEST voices in comics.  From Marvel and DC to IDW,  Zenescope, and yes, Kickstarter, these writer and artist teams have  never worked together before, but have been paired up to bring unique  corners of the Menagerie Universe to life.  Brandon Easton (Transformers: War for Cybertron - Siege, Agent Carter, Judge Dredd: False Witness, Thundercats), Geoffrey Thorne (The Avengers: Black Panther's Quest, Black Panther [MARVEL], The Librarians, Leverage), Bryan Edward Hill (Batman & The Outsiders, Killmonger, Zone 414, Postal, The new unnamed Power Rangers movie) and MORE contributed to this book."

And that is the end of today's Update. I'll definitely reach out tomorrow for a big Thank You end of the campaign update plus any and all details on everything we manage to unlock by then.


All the best!

Felipe

I guess I need to find myself a cartographer... Two more Stretch Goals unlocked!!!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Dec 03, 2020 at 02:19:14 PM

Hello, my friends!

Looks like we are in for a heck of a last week on Kickstarter, aren't we? Even spacing out the Stretch Goals didn't stop you of unlocking more cool stuff to be added to EVERY tier and every package going out in the mail \o/

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I cannot thank you all enough for this absolutely amazing campaign and your fantastic support. It's been an unforgettable experience watching us go further and further and I cannot wait to get to work to honor your pledges.

I know there are tons of artists yet to be announced for the cards, prints and whatnot and I promise I will focus 100% on it as soon as the campaign is over. You can expect a lot of news after the KS ends and well into 2021.

THE ROAD TO $190K IS CLEAR & RIGHT IN FRONT OF US

Honestly I thought getting to $100K was nearly impossible when I launched the campaign but then we got there and we never stopped. When I planned the latest phase of Stretch Goals I thought it would be amazing to wrap up the KS with a brand new Redhead story at $150K.

But you know what... you are all so amazing now I want it all, I want to go all the way up to $190K and unlock EVERYTHING we have planned.

Let's keep at it and I'm sure we can do it, together. Please continue showing TFAC to your friends, family, posting on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, please consider upping your pledges, whatever magic you have been doing until now, just keep it up \o/

Project(s) Spotlight

Palmiotti & Johnson's POP KILL Issues #3 & #4 FINALE

Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/creatorownedheroes/palmiotti-and-johnsons-pop-kill-issues-3-and-4-finale

It's always awesome seeing comic book legends in our corner of the woods here on Kickstarter and believe me when I say both Jimmy Palmiotti and Dave Johnson are legends. They have this title called Pop Kill which already had two successful Kickstarters and they are not pulling any punches for their finale. With over 800 backers and fully funded, this is a must-see project!

From their own page: "Imagine a world where the two dominant and competing Cola companies,  each worth billions, are owned by former Siamese twins who are now  separated and have grown to hate each other so much they hire assassins,  saboteurs, and espionage personnel to meddle with each other on a daily  basis.  This is the story about brotherly love run afoul, and the  people they enlist to do their dirty work."

RUINING CHRISTMAS #1: A cheeky comic caper!

Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sebastianajones/ruining-christmas-1-a-cheeky-comic-caper

Sebastian Jones is a good friend, an awesome creator and the main honcho behind Stranger Comics, the publisher behind Niobe and the world of Asunda which is currently in development at HBO. Now this is absolutely bonkers because Niobe was born and bred independently right here on Kickstarter so it says a lot when the company behind Game of Thrones picks up a creator-owned comic book to be adapted into a TV show, yeah, awesome!!

This new project looks like a lot of fun and love myself some Christmas themed content. It funded in 3 hours, it is now chasing Stretch Goals and Seb knows how to deliver'em. From their own page: "‘TIS THE SEASON… So, the jolly folk at  Stranger Comics want you to embark on a winter tale that’ll remind you  what is best in life: LOVE. But also: To crush entitled brats, to see apathetic parents driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the Karens. So, don’t wait for Santa. Look below and spread some cheer! This year you get to choose what ends up in your stocking!"

And that's it for today's Update. I cannot wait to get through this week and onwards to the next Stretch Goals, I plan on another doing this again when (fingers crossed it's not if!!) we get to $150K \o/

As always if you have any questions or comments please drop them below, shoot me a DM or write me at [email protected], I'm always happy to help and interact with you all.

Cheers!

Felipe
