Final Proof Approved! Digital Rewards Coming Next Week
20 days ago
– Wed, Apr 01, 2026 at 09:16:33 AM
Hey everyone,
Just a quick heads up that the final lettered proof came in this week and let me tell you it is OUTSTANDING! I know it took a little longer to complete than I had anticipated but that was because I wanted it to be perfect!
Seriously, this book is my opus! I was sharing the premise with a lot of industry folks this weekend at C2E2 and they were blown away!
Jorge will be getting me the final colored pages by the weekend and we'll be sending out the Digital Rewards next week.
Meanwhile, i have another project I just launched on Kickstarter today!
Dren Productions and Souce Point Press are teaming up for the first ever SUPER DELUXE EDITION of Plan 59 From Outer Space published by SPP!
This includes:
• A brand new illustrated tale: Journey of the Ghoul • A Kickstarter Exclusive Hardcover Edition • all 16 Variant Covers from the series and deluxe material • 96 pages of Ed Wood-Inspired Greatness!
Back in 1957, Ed Wood brought us a movie about aliens who tried to raise the dead in order to destroy humanity in order to prevent us from causing a galaxy destroying weapon that they believed we would one day create. This was Plan 9 from Outer Space.
Plan 59 SDE Cover B by Bryan Pederson
Obviously, plans 1 through 8 failed, and (spoiler alert, but frankly the movie has been out for 63 years now, so there shouldn’t be much to spoil) so did Plan 9. But what happened in the years since 1957? Did the aliens just give up? Were they going to cease their plans to stop us and save the galaxy? Of course not. Almost 60 years have passed, and in that time, they have attempted to destroy us nearly 50 more times, and humanity has become quite adept at fighting them off. But today, they are coming back for their 59th plan, a plan that is so nefarious, it just might work.
How will the aliens try to destroy humanity this time? Just look in your hand. That little device that’s always by your side and that you could never live without. They will destroy us using our own cell phones...

Announcing the PLAN 59: SUPER DELUXE EDITION Kickstarter!
about 1 month ago
– Fri, Mar 13, 2026 at 01:14:49 PM
Hi everyone,
I'm underway getting all the digital rewards for Ones and Zeroes completed. In the meantime, i'm stoked to announce the next big event happening for The Planiverse – the sequel to Ed Wood's classic movie Plan 9 From Outer Space:
Introducing the Plan 59 From Outer Space SUPER DELUXE EDITION Kickstarter!
Following the announcement that Source Point Press will be the exclusive publisher of all Planiverse Graphic Novels, we decided we wanted to do something special rather than just release it as-is to retail shops and bookstores across the country.
So, we went ahead and took the original Graphic Novel and crammed it full of 30+ extra pages – including a BRAND NEW story featuring the Ghoul called Journey of the Ghoul. Originally released as a stretch goal digital short story during one of our recent Planiverse campaigns, the fully illustrated tale has been converted into comic book format and provides a necessary bridge between Plan 59 and its sequel Plan 79.
Second: We’re offering a KICKSTARTER-ONLY Hardcover Edition for the true Ed Wood fan-collector out there. That’s right, you can ONLY get it in this campaign. We won’t be selling it in stores, online or anywhere else following its completion.
Not bad for a series that almost never made it off the ground, huh? (Cue the redemption part of my story!) If you want to learn more about how the Planiverse almost never made it off the ground click the link below to check out my substack: https://sirestudios.substack.com/p/when-plans-go-awry
