The Uncanny Kickstarter Reaches Halfway Point

William Hodge’s The Uncanny
William Hodge, the creator of The Uncanny, is halfway to a Kickstarter goal to fund reprints of his series with exclusive covers only available at upcoming conventions.
Hodge is working towards $3,000 in funding by August 11, 2013.
The Uncanny, a mix of The Matrix and Doom Patrol, follows a group of heroes who have obtained their superpowers through training and will. “They didn’t get them by accident or by science,” Hodge says. “For example, the character Ojo is one of the steel skin monks. There are really monks who practice an iron skin technique. To me, it appears that humans are getting bigger, faster and stronger from generation to generation. Records are broken all of the time. So, I figured it’s a logical leap that in comic books, a man could achieve the ability of flight.” The characters train at Mystery Schools, but not all the schools have heroic intentions.
Before turning to self-publishing, Hodge contributed to DC Comics Showcase ’94 and helped with Dr. Weird at Big Bang Comics. He’s completed and published seven The Uncanny issues as well as three trade paperbacks that collect issues 1-3, 4-6, and the complete run of the first six issues of The Uncanny.
