Why support:
Support “Sebastian Hawks – Creature Hunter” Crowdfunded Project
The hottest books out there right now are on the independent scene. With DC’s New 52 and Marvel NOW!, the big two of the comic book publishing world are panicking and rebooting their titles to try to boost interest with new readers. The unfortunate side-effect is that they are alienating their current readers. If you’re finding yourself bored with what the mainstream has to offer, then you need to check out Sebastian Hawks – Creature Hunter.
Greg Mclean (creator), Tristan Jones (http://www.crossovercomics.ca/tag/tristan-jones/) (writer), and Christian DiBari (artist) have launched a crowdfunding project on Pozible, an Australian Kickstarter equivalent. Taking advantage of the alternative means of production/publishing the 21st century has to offer, this is definitely a project that fans will love but does not fit into the super-hero mold Marvel and DC are too afraid of deviating from. Based in the early 1900s, Sebastian Hawks is an explorer/historian who has been commissioned by Queen Victoria to hunt and capture 12 mythical creatures for the British Museum. Hooked yet?
“So if you love old-fashioned high adventure, monsters and heroes and villains, all set in the dazzling Victorian era then you’ll love this book.”For the TMNT (http://www.crossovercomics.ca/tag/tmnt/) fans out there, this project is being written and drawn by two noteworthy people. Tristan Jones wrote the now highly regarded Gang War issues for Mirage’s Tales of the TMNT. Christian DiBari did storyboarding on 4Kids’ TMNT animated series.
To date the project has raised over $11,000 and are on their way to attaining their goal of $35,000. They have less than 50 days left to reach that goal. Check out the video Greg Mclean and Tristan Jones put together explaining the project and support independent comics.

About the Project
SEBASTIAN HAWKS Creature Hunter is an action /adventure series based around a turn-of-the-century professional adventurer and creature hunter.
He’s a swashbuckling hero who is part ancient historian and part red-blooded Englishman explorer. In 1900, Her Majesty Queen Victoria enlists the services of English Lord and legendary explorer – Sebastian Hawks – to hunt down and capture twelve mythical creatures for the burgeoning British Museum. When captured, these creatures are intended for a private collection that will be unlike any other in the Empire. Along with his mentor Sir Royston C. Hammersbottom (who supplies him with maps, weapons and gadgets) he is accompanied by his trusted butler, Benoit Carné. Benoit also happens to be an expert in martial arts, mechanics and fine wine. Sebastian accepts the challenge and must race to outwit, out fly, outsmart and outgun his nefarious and cunning competitors for these most rare and dangerous prizes.
