Kickstart the Week: Jack Houston, Oxymoron and The Patriot

Jack Houston is an old school pulp space story told with a point-and-click interface. It has a unique art design in the works that could make it the most unique game of the type ever made. This one looks like a lot of fun, both in its conception and in its great list of backer rewards.

Oxymoron is a comic about a crazed psychopath and his super-villainous adventures. With some gorgeous art, this one looks like a stellar project in a beautiful hardcover book.

Bleeding Ink Productions is advertising their project The Patriot everywhere, including in the last few days on our site. This comic is about a superhero on a rampage as his death grows ever closer.

About Nick Ahlhelm

Nicholas Ahlhelm has let his love for superheroes as a concept pretty much overwhelm his good sense. A fan of super-powered prose fiction since he discovered Wild Cards at twelve. Since then, he has expanded his reading and viewing to cover superheroes through every means he can find, whether comics, prose fiction, movies, television, or transmedia sources. In the mean time, he regular maintains three fiction-producing website publications: Metahuman Press, Pulp Empire, and The Dead Walk Again. At the same time, he writes the weekly web comic Arc with artist Jay Rainford-Nash, published every Tuesday. (Other comic works are in various stages of production.) He lives in Eastern Iowa with his wife and two daughters, in an increasingly small house.
