The Black Coat: To Die But Once #2
Now that the campaign for “To Die But Once” #1 was successful and has been completed, it’s time to talk about TDBO #2! On that front, we have good news, some “just news,” and then more good news. The good news is that the scripts are written and the team is in place. Dean is set to pencil and ink and Juan is on board for colors. That’s half the battle. So we’re excited to announce that we will be doing a campaign for issue 2 as soon as possible.
The “just news” part is that, for several reasons, including tax stuff and conflicting schedules and what-not, “as soon as possible” won’t be until Jan. 2026. We don’t mean to disappoint anyone and we hate to continue begging your patience, but that’s the nature of this self-publishing world we’re living in. We’d love to do it right away, but y’know… life and stuff. That said, January will be here before we know it.
The more good news part is that, so you don’t lose track of us between now and then, you can go to the campaign pre-launch page RIGHT NOW and sign up to get notified the minute it goes live! Go ahead. Click the link and sign up. We’ll wait…

Did you sign up? Great! It’s going to be a banger of an issue full of sword fights, betrayals, and dire consequences for Ursula and the Knights of Liberty as they wrestle with the question: “How far are you willing to go to fight for freedom?”
In addition to a great book, we’re planning a number of upgrades for the campaign that will incorporate some of the feedback we got regarding what kind of rewards to offer and how you can participate in the creation of the book. We can’t wait. It’s going to be an exciting ride!

Once again, THANK YOU for supporting the Black Coat! And be sure to visit www.the-black-coat.com/kickstarter2026 to sign up for notifications regarding the new campaign.
Don’t miss out!!
