Why Hello There!

I'm Jess Herron and I write and draw the webcomic Midnight Furies, a story about basketball and how you can't avoid growing up even when you can avoid growing old. I'm a RISD-trained animator living in the oh-so-sunny Pacific Northwest of the US, working freelance as a UX designer and in the process of transitioning full time into comics and illustration.

Midnight Furies

The Midnight Games is an underground basketball tournament where players can compete for time added onto their lives. Zoe is a high school dropout desperate for any way to play the game- but her teammate, Chase, has her own reasons for being in the tournament, reasons that could ruin a lot more for Zoe than just the game.

Midnight Furies is a coming-of-age story caught up in a revenge plot. If you could put Slam Dunk, Kill la Kill, and that Spiderverse trailer in a blender, you’d have this comic. (And a really weird smoothie.)

Why Become a Patron?

You're really interested in seeing a gal-driven sports comic with a bit of mystery and romance thrown in, right? HAHA ME TOO fancy that. But scratching that itch requires a great deal of time and effort, not to mention rent and food. For your support in helping me become a full-time webcomic creator, you'll see the behind-the-scenes blog and get early access to pages. You can even vote monthly on fanart you want me to draw! (Like this or that One Piece character redesign.)

Your pledge really makes a difference! The life of a freelancer is never set in stone, nor is the time I'll have to make comics. I'm trying to keep my day job flexible enough so that I can produce as many pages as I can, and your support goes a long way to making that happen! As I'm able to devote even more of my time to the comic, we'll get the chance to unlock more goals and rewards.
