Mike Baron recently launched Private American II: and the Deplorables via Fund My Comic this past Veterans Day.

For the uninitiated, Private American follows Marcos Zamora, a former Green Beret turned one-man war on the cartels along the southern border. The first book was booted by Kickstarter in 2022, but it later went on to raise more than $80,000 on Fund My Comic.

The sequel is a 72-page, high octane action thriller. Marcos Zamora’s sponsor, billionaire Roland Purgamint, bankrolls a team of misfits and heavily armed troublemakers with tongue-in-cheek characters like Snowflake and Safespace, a pair of 300-pound former Navy SEALs. Don’t assume their genders, you bigot! Baron was never shooting for subtlety with this series. Zamora teams up with this team of Deplorables to take on Chinese drug smugglers, human traffickers, and terrorists in an adventure that stretches from coast to coast.

Physical copies start at $25 while the digital version will run you $10. You can also get the following tchotchkes and extras if you want to throw down extra cash:

• Multiple covers
• An autographed art card
• A custom original illustration from Richard Bonk
• The chance to have your likeness drawn into the book
• Copies of the first Private American book if you need to catch up
• The opportunity to donate a book to Comic Books for Troops

It’s important to note that the book’s artwork is finished, coloring and lettering are in progress, and fulfillment is set for May 2027. The campaign itself is set to run through January 18, 2027.
