Welcome to the Headlocked Newsletter
Hey there!
Headlocked creator, Mike Kingston here, welcoming you to the Headlocked Comics newsletter!
Recently, it’s occurred to me that I have a lot of readers from a variety of different places: wrestling shows, comic cons, PWCrate, kickstarter campaigns etc…and we make a different stuff for all of them!
And with social media algorithms being what they are these days, I thought it might be smart to have one big Headlocked tent where you can keep up on what we’re doing without missing a tweet or having a post throttled by Facebook.
Now look, I know you’re probably subscribed to a thousand newsletters, so I’m definitely prepared to give you some real value for signing up!
So here’s the type of stuff you’ll find here!
Headlocked Release News
We’ve got a ton of content scheduled for the rest of the year and into the first half of 2022. This will be the place to get the inside scoop on what we’re making, who we’re collaborating with, and how you can get it!
Convention Appearances
With conventions opening back up, you can bet we’ll be hitting the road with a vengeance. Want the inside scoop on our con appearances, special guests, and exclusives? This will be the place.
Merch Drops
In addition to dope comics, we also make dope art prints, event posters, and T-shirt designs. You’ll get the first look and exclusive access to all of it!
Want to get your hands on some SDCC exclusives but not going to the show? I will definitely have special pre-orders for subscribers.
Travelogue
I’m on the road a lot…wrestling shows, Comic Cons, and wherever else will allow me to sling my wares. I see a lot of cool places, hang with some cool artists/wrestlers/creators, and eat a lot of spectacular food. I’ll be posting a lot of exclusive content from my travels here.
Articles
For a long time, I’ve had the desire to do some longer form writing about wrestling. Definitely not TV recaps or anything like that…more historical stuff, character studies, what-if? style booking scenarios. I don’t know now much time I’ll have to do it…but this would definitely be the place for it.
And last but not least….
Exclusive Comics
I’ve been wanting a place to do some short Headlocked stories that maybe don’t fit into a Kickstarter or PWCrate and since putting comics on SubStack is all the rage these days…guess I’ll be following the trend.
My hope is to produce a few stories a year that will be exclusive for subscribers.
Not bad for a free subscription, eh?
My current plan is to post once a week…probably Tuesdays. Just a little deal to keep you updated on the latest stuff and hopefully sliding in some fun content along the way.
Hope you’ll come along for the ride! If you know someone who might be interested, let em know!
