Gimme Five: 5 five-page comics
Gimme Five is a monthly series by Skilletfire Studios founders Scott Eckelaert and JW Harp, the team behind Markosia Entertainment’s graphic novel, Boylon Heights. On Patreon, they’ll be bringing you one original 5-page tale per month featuring both new and used characters. Whatever the context, they’re guaranteed to bring a new spin with adult readers in mind.
Gimme Five launches in January, 2023. Since June and December are vacation months, there will be a total of ten new stories per year, which will be collected biannually into two print comics.
The first half of 2023 brings five stories featuring characters both new and re-imagined. We’ll be announcing those characters over the course of the year. For now, you can enjoy the first five pager, starring the re-imagined golden-age character — Retribution, on Patreon.
Retribution kicks off the first Gimme Five five-page comic tale!
RETRIBUTION | January 2023
Wintry January night, tonight. And so, our order of events: a phone call to an unidentified man leads to unexpected results courtesy of our first character, Retribution. You’ve heard of the proverbial early bird who gets the worm? Well, join us right now on Patreon, and you’ll be whisked along with the characters in our story whose mission is not to find that proverbial worm. No, their task is even harder. They’ve got to find a clemency before the clock runs out, and in a simple click away you’ll search with them, because you’re invited to…Gimme Five.
RED RUBE | February 2023
Red Rube is kind of like a version of another guy who turns into a big monster when he gets angry, but Red Rube merely has to call out to his alter-ego to trigger the transformation. When Red Rube is triggered, various ancestors inhabit his body, giving him powers of strength, speed, mind control (animals only) and other powers he has yet to discover. Join us on his journeys!
