Welcome to The Beat’s crowdfunding round-up: a collection of some of our favorite campaigns from the week including one-shots, on-goings, anthologies and everything in-between! This week, we’re checking out the kung fu adventure, The Adept, a kids’ book featuring a non-binary main character, A More Graceful Shaboom, and more.
[*]Let’s get started!

[b]Goodies: [/b]A digital copy runs $5, physical editions are $17, while higher tiers include pins, variants, and unique swag.
A young woman with a broken past. The Shaolin Master that visits her dreams. A modern story of transformation and kung fu.
The Adept is the brainchild of Immortal Studios CEO & Founder, [b]Peter Shiao[/b], and adapted by Huo, Stickney, Li, and Downie, with Ching providing his knowledge of Kung Fu, and Hughes adding layout assistance. Over 42 pages, this first issue in what’s planned to be a limited series will introduce Amy, a young Chinese-American who’s lost her purpose and decides to come home – but is quickly swept into a Kung Fu story of the ages when she witnesses a kidnapping and is called to action. It’s an enticing story I can’t do justice – but fourteen preview pages of Li’s art will. Check those out on The Adept official campaign page.

We are all overjoyed with the support we've received. It's really incredible. We're in the top 0.09% for Kickstarter campaigns. 

And to think, I almost blew this off. If it wasn't for the pandemic, I probably wouldn't have got on board.

RE: The Adept Issue #1 - King Bob - 07-14-2020

Congrats!

Just one. This is issue #2.

There's another series - Chronicles of the Immortal Swordsmen - I'm not working on that one (and the chores SUX). There's only one issue of that too. 

Immortal plans to release like 8 this year. It's been a lot of infrastructure building over the pandemic. 

I still don't quite understand it all, but it's good PR and decent money considering my workload.

RE: The Adept - Greg - 01-28-2022

As long as there are benjamins. I thought they would be more productive than just the one issue.

RE: The Adept - Drunk Monk - 01-28-2022

It's so weird. I'm not even sure what the print run has been. These are only designed for Kickstarter, not distributed in comic stores yet. I'm told that's how indie comics work but wtf do I know? 

You met my boss, our founder Peter Shiao at the Shaolin Summit (the one where I was on a panel with Lucia Ryker, the MMA champ). He's got some major hustle. He had been trying to recruit me for some time but when he put down those Benjamins after KFTC folded, I was all in. And it's been great.

RE: Immortal Studios - Drunk Monk - 04-14-2022

So Peter contacted me a few weeks ago to say he wants to take me to dinner in the Cruz. I say ‘sure!’ He says ‘name a place’. I say ‘crow’s nest’ because that my go to when someone else is paving.

Then my mom’s fall comes up and I almost have to cancel. But it worked out and it was great medicine. 

Peter is always engaging. He has such hustle and I admire that. Plus his well travelled and has incredible experiences. It was a wonderful evening. We put down two shots each of 12 year macallan, a dozen oysters, a bottle of Pinot, and entrees. It was the kind of insane conversation that I so love, philosophical, metaphysical, and martial. Such good medicine. immortal may be closing in on something extraordinary. Hoping for the best. Some things might explode here this year.

And it’s been a while since I’ve had a buzz on like this. Excuse me. Ima gonna pass out now…

Is this some sort of BDSM code?

I guess I'm eating my words on this...at least the LA part.

Once I was flown down to LA to do some narration for Shaolin Ulysses and flown back all in one day. And in the end, they didn't use it. They got Beau Bridges instead.

First e-meet with Zeda.
