On Tuesday, independent comic book creator Clint Stoker launched a crowdfunding campaign for Downcast 3: Submerged, which reached its original funding goal within hours of going live.

Written by Stoker and featuring illustrations by Ignacio Lazaro and lettering by the ever-prolific Eric Weathers, Downcast 3 is an 80-page sci-fi graphic novel including a 64-page main story, an 8-page backup story, and other extras.

Here’s the brief story synopsis taken from Downcast 3 Indiegogo campaign page:

Life is finally normal for Joanne and Jax. The tragedies of their past begin to fade as they each work as new apprenticeships. But their peace is suddenly shattered when a strange diver comes to strata looking for war with the gods. Joanne and Jax are forced to choose between their new lives or joining the diver on his hunt for false gods – a course that would permanently disrupt the future of humanity.

Backers can get a copy of Downcast 3 for $20. If you have more money to spend, you can also receive multiple copies of the book, a variant cover, a t-shirt, book plate, trading card set, original artwork, a novel, or an original sketch cover of the first Downcast issue published by Alterna Comics. There is also an option to pick up all of the Downcast books so far if you want to catch up. It is also worth noting that there is an additional shipping charge starting at $7 for those in the United States.

The best part? The script and artwork are already complete, so there shouldn’t be too much turnaround time getting the project completed and fulfilled.
