“Vampires in paradise… Heaven on Earth with a garlic slice…”

Does anyone really “slice” garlic? Eh, who cares?

Over the weekend, Haunted Pizza launched a crowdfunding campaign for Koni Waves, a 56-page supernatural action/horror graphic novel.

The project is already fully funded, having raised more than $5 thousand at the time of this writing.

Written by Mark Poulton (Graveyard Shift, Savage Hawkman) & Mandy Summers (Gemshock, Jack the Ripper: Vampire Hunter) and featuring illustrations by Renzo Rodriguez (Impossible Stars, Viking Wolf) and colors and lettering by Dexter Weeks (Avengelyne, Viking Wolf), this new book acts as a reboot of the original Koni Waves series published by Arcana Studios.

Here’s the official pitch taken from the Koni Waves Indiegogo campaign page:

Vampires, Werewolves and Tiki Monsters… oh my!

Mark Poulton returns to the series that started his comic book career. Created by Mark Poulton, Stephen Sistilli and Dexter Weeks, Koni Waves tells the story of Koni Kanawai, a female detective in Honolulu, Hawaii, who specializes in supernatural cases. A friend’s murder leads Koni on a discovery of her island’s dark secret.

Backers can get a copy of Koni Waves for $25. If you have more money to spend, you can also receive the following tchotchkes and extras:

• Multiple copies of the book
• Variant covers
• A 90-page screenplay book
• Making Waves: The Art of Koni Waves pin up book
• A Haunted Pizza calendar
• The chance to have your likeness drawn into the final book
• Copies of the original Koni Waves comics published by Arcana Studios
• Previous Haunted Pizza releases

It is also worth noting that there is an additional shipping charge starting at $10 for those in the United States.
