Over the weekend Patrick Thomas Parnell updated the crowdfunding campaign for Johnny Phantasm: Extreme 93 with several new items, including a Halloween-themed Johnny Phantasm action figure, a two-pack of Johnny’s Fingerprint Gang goons, and a slick new cover for the comic book featuring artwork by Dale Keown. In addition, the Dale Keown cover is also featured on a new metal lunchbox that comes with the full set of the new figures, and a black and white version of the art can be snagged as either a glow-in-the-dark variant cover, or as a t-shirt.

Written and illustrated by Parnell (Ultra Star) and featuring colors by Matt Yackey, JP: Extreme ‘93 is the latest in the Johnny Phantasm saga.

Here’s the official plot synopsis taken from the Johnny Phantasm: Extreme ’93 Indiegogo campaign page:

No matter how horrible things are… All good things come to an end.

The year is 1993.

Johnny Phantasm has finally taken complete control of New Detroit.

But now, like Rome, it must fall! Johnny has turned Detroit into a gaming nightmare.

Can our heroes save the city before it’s too late?

Or is it already too late?! So let’s sit back and enjoy the show!

With the dying words of a corrupt priest, New Detroit’s top hitman was cursed and transformed into the demon crime boss, Johnny Phantasm! At the cost of his soul, he climbed to the top of all the city’s gangsters and became mayor. At one time he could have been the savior of the city, but now he was its destructor. Johnny has turned Detroit into a gambling nightmare! Even though he is the Mayor, Johnny is more like a twisted game show host televising on national TV the downfall of this once proud city. It is now up to a small group of super heroes to save the city.

Backers can get a copy of the Johnny Phantasm: Extreme ’93 comic book for $25, while the action figures start at $30. There are several other tchotchkes and extras to snag too, including the following:

• Multiple copies of the book
• A variant cover
• Trading card pack
• A glow-in-the-dark keshi figure
• A collector’s box
• A second, brand new JP book: Johnny Phantasm: 2001
