BUTCH KILLIGAN 3 Launch party pt1 (25 Feb 2026)

Sven and Ashley host the Butch Killigan 3 launch party, opening with preshow music, sound checks, early backer hype, Bali flooding/no-running-water warnings, and the campaign already climbing before the real show starts. The focus is the launch of Butch Killigan Volume 3: Tainted Veins, the Kickstarter cover, Fund My Comic variant, first-24-hour signed print, the 376-page Arc One hardcover omnibus collecting volumes 1-3, merch bundles, acrylic standee, sticker sheet, hand-drawn sketch tier, shipping questions, Alan Ritchson-as-Butch casting talk, AI live-action Butch possibilities, and Sven's goal to eventually produce two volumes a year. A large middle section digs into Butch lore: Butch as the last old-school masculine DEA cop in a degenerate cyberpunk future where all drugs are legal except the mysterious Spore, the disappearance of his wife, Ultra-City's cartoon AI institutions, Telly the Toucan, the AI police chief dog, bug-rights activists, Bed Bug Burger, and the book's increasing violence, satire, body horror and action. Sven also talks promo logistics and possible appearances with EVS, Dick Masterson, Josh Moon, Katie Did and Rusty Cage, while Ashley deals with his collapsed ceiling and Sven starts losing his voice. The stream drifts into old Dutch adult comics that influenced Sven, Hard to Kill and Steven Seagal's "blood bank" line, 80s cop-movie structure, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, an extended PayPal currency-conversion rant that becomes its own running bit, Jazza redesigning Souls/Bloodborne bosses, and western vs Japanese monster-design instincts. The show closes checking final numbers around $8,215 and 110 Kickstarter backers, with Fund My Comic also funded.
