<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://pnc.st/s/playcomics/dbd4893b/gunpunch-with-fernando-pinto/transcript"&gt;Read transcript&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strap in, true believers, because we’re about to dive headfirst into the wild world of Kickstarter campaigns and comic book mayhem! This week on Play Comics, we’re taking a look at the &lt;a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rocketship/gunpunch-graphic-novel" rel="nofollow"&gt;Kickstarter&lt;/a&gt; for the action-packed graphic novel Gunpunch, and we’ve got the creator himself, &lt;a href="http://www.fernandopintoart.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;Fernando Pinto&lt;/a&gt;, here to give us the inside scoop.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fernando Pinto, the mastermind behind Gunpunch, is joining us to share the gritty details of bringing this high-octane comic to life. From the explosive action sequences to the sharply-drawn characters, this guy has poured his heart and soul (and probably a few gallons of coffee) into making Gunpunch a must-read for any fan of the medium.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rocketship/gunpunch-graphic-novel" rel="nofollow"&gt;Gunpunch Kickstarter campaign&lt;/a&gt; is in full swing thanks to &lt;a href="https://rocketshipent.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;Rocketship Entertainment&lt;/a&gt;, and let me tell you, it’s a wild ride. Backer rewards range from digital copies of the comic to limited-edition prints that will have your fellow comic nerds green with envy. And if you’re feeling particularly generous, there’s even an opportunity to get your face immortalized as a character in the story. Talk about a power move!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, what are you waiting for? Hop on board the Gunpunch hype train and get ready for a wild ride! With Fernando Pinto at the helm, you know this comic is going to be a knockout. Strap on your utility belt, grab your favorite snacks, and get ready to dive headfirst into the world of Gunpunch. It’s going to be a punchy good time, true believers!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Learn such things as:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How do you go about naming characters anyway?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is it OK to punch people with your gun hands if you’re having a bad day?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Are those aliens &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; that bad?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And so much more!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can find Fernando on Twitter &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/NandoPintoArt" rel="nofollow"&gt;@NandoPintoArt&lt;/a&gt;, on Instagram &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/minombreesfernandopinto/" rel="nofollow"&gt;@minombreesfernandopinto&lt;/a&gt;, his LinkTree &lt;a href="https://linktr.ee/fernandopintoart" rel="nofollow"&gt;@FernandoPintoArt&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.fernandopintoart.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;FernandoPintoArt.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
