This sounds like a great project. The creators of The New Spartans are penciler Johnny Ledford, writer S. DeHart and inker Peter Palmiotti.

More from Kickstarter:

All of us at Ray Gun Monkey Studios endevor to present a product that is unparralleled in the world of comics today. Absolute top rate art and grand story arcs coupled with non stop action is our fair. Bigger better farther faster has been our motto and we would like the chance to bring it to readers on paper. Over the years many ideas for heroes and series have emerged from our studio, but it all began with The New Spartans. We have built our world and stories but it all starts with the first comic. Funds raised will go to financing the publication of The New Spartans #1, from there the sky is the limit. …

The idea for the New Spartans actually started back in the mid 90’s with co-creator S.DeHart and myself talking about all our comic influences of the 70’s and 80’s. We felt that comics were changing, but what we had longed to see and read again were a style of story and pacing that we just didn’t see that often or remembered from our past. Our love always fell back to classic style heroes and villains, super avengers and big worlds. The Super Hero genre has changed a lot over the years, we wanted to be a part of that. Reality mixed with classic good guy , bad guy figures. Big environments with bigger repercussions. I think our view of the comic world of empowered heroes will be an enjoyable one for readers.
