    AWARD NOMINATED JUPITER JET LAUNCHES KICKSTARTER FOR VOLUME 2: JUPITER JET AND THE FORGOTTEN RADIO

    Press ReleaseBy Press ReleaseJanuary 21, 2020Updated:January 21, 20209 Mins Read

    PRESS RELEASE

    Los Angeles, CA – January 12, 2020. Husband and wife writers, Jason Inman (“Super Soldiers”, “Love is Love”), and Ashley Victoria Robinson (“Science! The Elements of Dark Energy”, “Aurora and the Eagle”), and artist Ben Matsuya (“Midnight Massacre”), have teamed up – again – with publisher Action Lab Entertainment (“Princeless”, “Miraculous), to bring back the second installment in the best-selling comic book series: Jupiter Jet. Volume 2 will be titled Jupiter Jet and the Forgotten Radio and sees the protagonist, Jacqueline “Jacky” Johnson taking the fight for justice from her neighborhood of Olympic Heights to the stars – and beyond!

    www.JupiterJetComic.com

    The hosts of the popular podcast Geek History Lesson are back with a campaign that features script and portfolio reviews for themselves (Ashley served as the former Head Editor at Top Cow), and Big Two comic creators such as: Steve Lieber (Superman’s Pal: Jimmy Olsen, Detective Comics), Mitch Gerads (Sheriff of Babylon, Batman), and David Booher (Canto, Alien Bounty Hunter). With superstar artist of Black Magick and Wonder Woman, Nicola Scott, returning to contribute a print to the campaign and Jupiter Jet staple Jonboy Meyers (Superman, Teen Titans), providing the second cover for the series.

    Back by popular demand, Jupiter Jet and the Forgotten Radio picks up one year after orphan Jacky Johnson inherited her father’s jetpack with a mysterious power source. Now she truly is the hero Olympic Heights needs – she is Jupiter Jet!

    • The Flying Girl
    • The Soaring Sweetie
    • The Hero of the Children of Gaia

    But she still doesn’t feel right. It’s hard to protect the world when you recently learned that all of space is open to you! Feeling stifled by the Resistance and all the adults in her life, 17-year-old Jupiter Jet flies beyond the atmosphere of her world to face a new threat!

    The first volume of Jupiter Jet was described as “Kim Possible meets The Rocketeer”, but now Jacky has the confidence of knowing who she is and the solar system is a little scarier, so Jupiter Jet and the Forgotten Radio holds more shades of The Man with No Name than it had before.

    The never-before-seen “Black Flier” catches Jupiter Jet’s eye and lures her into space, despite the protestations of The Children of Gaia. But, she is a hero of action and ready to take on problems headfirst and soon finds herself in a bigger web of red rocks, asteroids, and strange bedfellows.

    Including coming face-to-face with the new villain …

    Praetor Venus!

    (Whose “Black Flier” Jacky turns out to be closer to than she ever could have imagined!)

    With his sister up in space, Jacky’s brother (breakout character, Chuck!), discovers a long forgotten radio broadcasting a message from their father … that just might be for the enigmatic “Black Flier”! What does it mean? How long has it been broadcasting? Will Chuck get a costume and a codename in this volume? You’ll have to read it to find out!

    When Kim Possible meets A Fistful of Dollars inside the pages of a graphic novel you get Jupiter Jet and the Forgotten Radio. One girl’s journey on the brink of adulthood to remind herself that the world will always be bigger than you think and that your parents aren’t always perfect. Jupiter Jet and the Forgotten Radio celebrates the confidence that comes on the precipice of adulthood and the hard lessons we learn when we don’t know everything – and introduces a brand new jetpack!

    Perfect for readers of all age (nominated for “Best Kids Comic or Graphic Novel” in the Ringo Awards), and especially for those who love: Teen Titans, GO!, Lumberjanes, and Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse.

    Jupiter Jet first came to life in a diner over lunch one day. When readers started asking when volume 2 was happening Inman and Robinson knew they had to take her out of the diner and into the stars. (Don’t worry, we’ll still see diner owner, Clara, in Jupiter Jet and the Forgotten Radio!)

    A book about space lizards, asteroid belt chases, and fighting with your family, combines three things I love reading the most. Bringing some of my favorite things to one of my favorite characters I’ve created has been such a blast!

    adds Robinson.

    Matsuya will bring his recognizable flare back to Jupiter Jet, this time teamed with colorist Elizabeth Kramer (Jade Street Protection Services, Comic Book Anthology), and Ghost Glyph Studio’s Taylor Esposito (Action Comics, The Flash), also returns to letter and with a kick butt new logo!

    The plan is to produce a 120 page original graphic novel that will be released directly through Action Lab.

    Moving directly to an original graphic novel format has made the creative process smoother and challenged the creative team to keep up the breakneck speed of traditional 20 page comic book single issues. In Jupiter Jet readers got an incredible science fiction reveal in the final 5 pages of the story. Now, in Jupiter Jet and the Forgotten Radio, the first twist which turns the book on its head on page 20!

    Kickstarter backers can pre-order the original graphic novel during an exclusive window before the books with a cover by Jonboy Meyers (Spawn), are sold to the general public and they come with an exclusive print by Nicola Scott (Earth 2), and b2rianls (painter Brian Lopez who Ashley also collaborated with on Aurora and the Eagle), which will not be sold anywhere else. There is also the opportunity for backers to purchase signed personalized copies of the book as well.

    Some of the standout rewards include script and portfolio critiques by industry professionals including: Steve Lieber (Superman’s Pal: Jimmy Olsen, Detective Comics), Mitch Gerads (Mister Miracle, Batman), and David Booher (Canto, Alien Bounty Hunter).

    The Kickstarter launches Tuesday, January 21 and will conclude in 30 days. www.JupiterJetComic.com will take you directly to the campaign.
