For the last three years Michael Drace Fountain, Marcel Losada, Joe Pezzula and James Ninness have been developing a comic horror anthology. The adventure began when the three of them wrote the book in a cabin in the woods (yes, seriously) in November of 2009. Through the years it has gone through various publishers, incarnations and production snaffus.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Well, 2013 is the year their book, in Sanity, AZ<\/i> comes to fruition – with a bit of help from you. Featuring four writers, sixteen interior artists, a top-tier cover artist and a dreamy colorist\/designer, we are finally ready to get this thing done.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n
in Sanity, AZ<\/i> will be Kickstarted – not the first issue, not the first two issues, not even just the digital issues – the whole thing. When they raise the money for this project they will have everything they need to release three digital comic book issues (the smallest of which clocks in at fifty-two pages) and a trade paperback. Single issues will be sold for $1.49 – yup, that’s it – and release in July, August and November of this year. The trade paperback will, hopefully, be out in time for Christmas, 2013.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, what is in Sanity, AZ <\/i>about?<\/div>\n

The following is taken from their Kickstarter video:<\/div>\n

The book focuses on a small town in the middle of the desert. You know the town. The same town you drive by every time you cross the country or hustle through the desert. The kind of town that causes you to stare from the comfort of your car and think to yourself: \u201cwho in the hell would live out here?\u201d This particular town is a bit further down the highway, a highway not often travelled. It is as lost in time as a grain of sand in the desert. And to the natives of this town, that\u2019s not a problem. They have adapted. They have their own way of doing things.<\/div>\n

A long time ago, deep in the deserts of Arizona, a mayor by the name of Cambridge decided to build an asylum for the undesirables. A place the people of color could receive the mental help they needed away from the eyes of civilized society. It was a dream that turned into a nightmare. Things went wrong, as they are wont to do, and the inmates revolted. Over time the inmates settled the desert, carving out land and making it their own. Utilizing a sign from the asylum, the citizens settled on the name \u201cSanity\u201d.<\/div>\n
