Who is The Sapphire Spectre?
When she was 18 years old, Sylvia Sloane had an encounter with a powerful ghost/demon hybrid that killed her and her family. However, through an unknown force, she was resurrected and given a second shot at life. She soon discovered she can make her living body enter a "death stasis" at will and project her own ghost into the spiritual plane. Shaken but determined, Sylvia discovered she's comprised of energy far beyond that of the average spirit, and uses this power to right wrongs and dispatch of evil spirits, demons and other etherial undesirables. Now, in her early 20's, Sylvia has gained a reputation as a powerful force of vengeance in the ghostly dimension as The Sapphire Spectre. She will not stop fighting until the gap between the world of the living and the dead is closed for good.
Who is this comic for?
Anyone! It's got a bit of horror, a bit of humor, a bit of rock n roll and a little superheroine. If I were to give The Sapphire Spectre as a whole a "movie rating" for content, it would be a "harsh PG-13" or "light R" rating. Some swearing, some fantasy-violence and not overtly heavy on the sexy content, but it's there. It's reccomended for Jr. High and above.

SAPPHIRE SPECTRE ISSUE 2 PRE-LAUNCH!

Thank you everyone who backed issue 1! It was such an amazing experience. I learned a whole lot about this whole Kickstarter thing (and the second one will come SO much faster now that I know what I'm doing!). It was a blast.
I'm dying (and Sylvia is too, but what else is new?) for you to check out issue 2. It's a really fun story this time. A 2 1/2 foot anime chibi ghost shows up dressed like The Sapphire Spectre calling herself The Sapphire She-B. What is that all about?! Is she friend? Foe? Anti-hero? Chaotic neutral? Where's that chart? You know the one. It starts out a little wacky and madcap but settles into a bit of darkness as it goes. You're gonna love it. Here's a little taste of the video for the campaign:
I wrote that song and I sincelerly apologize to my neighbors for doing so. Can't wait to show you all the killer surprises in store in the form of covers, cosplay, rewards and more. Woo! Let's do this?!

PS- Who would like to see me homage Amazing Spider-Man 601 as an add-on cover down the line? I'm going back and forth on that one, but I might do it. Got any other homage suggestions?

So there was an error with the printer and I only received half of the stickers I was supposed to receive for the stretch goals. My good friend Lisa from Melone Management came over to help with fulfilling orders and getting all of the swag put together. We are really close to shipping! I am hoping to ship in the next 3-4 weeks and get everything out the door, if not sooner. Will keep you all updated on the progress, but in the meantime, check out all the cool stuff you are going to get!
Thanks for hanging in there guys!
