Hi All!
We wanted to send out an update on letting you all know where things are at.
In terms of release date, Mercy Sparx: No More Angels Left to Fall will not be released in either April or May, but rest assured, our team is working at a steady pace, and making good progress. All of the pages are laid out! Line art and colors are in the works.
Though you may not see the final product for a bit yet, we still want to share a sneak peek of what we have so far with you!
Here's a collage of the pages so you can see how things are coming along.
On top of that, we wanted to show you the process of making one page of this comic from roughs to inks to colors. So check out the evolution of page 7 here!
If you REALLY want a sneak peek, we also wanted to give any backers interested the chance to read the first five pages of Mercy Sparx: No More Angels Left to Fall right now. Check those out below and thank you for supporting the campaign!
Hey eveyrone!
It's your favorite Mercy-Maker here, Josh B, with a little update on the comic as we're heading into the weekend (one in which I look forward to sneaking in some more drawing time).
MINOR SPOILERS BELOW - So if you don't want to know anything about the story, you might want to avoid the art previews.
This being the first comic I've drawn in quite a long time, it's definitely taking me a bit longer than I'd like, in between juggling the publishing and business side of Devil's Due, marketing, writing, etc. But things are coming along nicely, and new colorist Alyssa Eleftheriou's colors on my lines are coming out beautifully.
I'm having a shit ton of fun drawing and writing this one, and I hope it shows!
We've already started the process of hyping this up to the retailers too, unveiling a preview at the big ComicsPro Retailer Summit last month. That's over 150 of some of the top tier comic shops now in the loop on the new material coming.
We've also begun sending several of the rewards into production. Shirts, hoodies, bottle openers, METAL covers, and more.
Okay, that's all for now! Enjoy the sneak peek below.

All of us lil' Heaven Devils have finished celebrating the holidays and are in full swing producing Mercy Sparx: No Mor Angels Left to Fall.
If you have been following my social media, you may have already seen some of the work in progress, but it hit me that I hadn't shared any of it here yet! We'll be doing more updates here on Kickstarter and showing off the book as things come together. So much contains teasers, so, sorry-not-sorry but we can't show that off .
To say I'm nervous drawing Mercy Sparx myself, and following in the footsteps of Merhoff is an understatement, but I'm having fun putting my own twist on everything, and making this book 100% me. I've always seen the visuals of Mercy Sparx, in my head, as a sort of music-videos-come-to-life theme. It's weird having designed most of the characters in this comic, but never having drawn many of them since the first incarnation. One exception is Archangel Michael, who I only wrote a description of, and Matt came up with the rest on his own. I'd never drawn that fucker before - what a beast! But as is the case with all good designs, he looks dope in any style.
Alright, y'all, back to comic-makin'!
Until next time, I tease you with these lingering questions:
These are pressing questions we all need answered! But only time will tell. Until then, enjoy these sneak peeks!
