Well, there's only 21 days left to help fund the project, and they need just under $1500 to make it happen. For those that don't remember, the series takes place in the world of Valendor, a world where steam-powered ships sail across the sky and where the standard heroes come in any shape or form—even Pirate. The leading airship in Valendor is the Rogue's Revenge, and its crew consists of Captain Tobin Manheim, Bryan Springhammer, Gearz and Shyni.The series is written by Everett Soares and illustrated by Brian Brinlee.
Depending on the level of contribution, fans can name a ship all the way up to starring in their own issue. The levels of contribution include:
· Contributors of $10 will receive a limited edition, numbered print of the Volume 2 wrap-around cover signed by Marvel veteran artist Mark Sparacio.

· Contributors of $50 will be drawn into the comic book series as one of the participants in Pirate Wars. They will also receive a pinup of their character and a copy of the issue their character appears in.
· Contributors of $100 will not only be drawn into the comic book series but will also be the captain of their very own pirate ship, named by the contributor. The contributor will also receive the original page where the ship appears and a copy of the issue they appear in.
