Welcome to LeeWay Comics!

Welcome to LeeWay Comics!

We've done it! We've started our own production company!

For the new readers, my name is Cam Lee and I'm the creator and writer of the GodPunk comic series. I started working on GodPunk around 2018 before finally launching my first Kickstarter in 2020 and bringing Issue Zero to life with the help of artist Masquerase.

Since then I've worked with numerous artists and brought on my close friend Brian Morehouse as series editor. The past four years have seen a few partnerships ranging from one-off cameos in event comics to working with indie publishers. Those partnerships taught me so many valuable lessons and ultimately showed me that the path forward was one we had to forge ourselves. Enter LeeWay Productions, LLC!

LeeWay Productions (aka LeeWay Comics) is something I've had in my mind since I was a little kid scribbling short stories and doodling heroes and monsters. "Leeway" is defined as "the freedom someone has to take the action they want or to change their plans" and that's exactly what this company is going to be. We're not here to create the next big franchise IP, we're not going to court other creators to be published under our label or join a GodPunk multiverse, and we aren't going to make games, animation, toys, or the like. Our ambitions are focused and our goals are specific, to produce the comics we love creating and have as much fun while doing it. Will we expand beyond GodPunk someday? Maybe! But for right now LeeWay is a vehicle for getting GodPunk comics produced, promoted, and sold locally here in Kansas City and wherever else we see opportunities.

At the time of writing this we have just shipped GodPunk #2 (available now!) and have once again engaged the incredibly skilled artist Chris Ber to start production on issue #3. Something that LeeWay Productions will hopefully allow us to do is push for more consistent releases, ideally with 6 month production cycles, to put out one issue in the spring and another in the fall of each year. That's the goal anyway!

So what's coming next besides waiting for the next issue of GodPunk? I'll be set up with Brian at Bad Con in Pleasant Valley, MO on Saturday October 12th and Ty-We Collector's Expo on November 2nd! As always we'll have copies of GodPunk 0-2, limited copies of variant covers and leftover Kickstarter rewards (prints, stickers, keychains). So be sure and come say hi if you're in the KC Metro this fall! You can also always snag copies of the book at Razzleberry on the Country Club Plaza here in KC and we'll announce more retailers here and on social media as they pop up!

Thank you all for supporting myself and GodPunk. We couldn't pull this project off without you all buying the books and sharing our stories! Until next time!
