Questionable Content’s Jeph Jacques Stars Kickstarter For Official Deathmøle Album: Fully Funded In Less Than 3 Hours
If you’re an avid reader of online comics, there is a good chance that Jeph Jacques’ Questionable Content is one of your daily visits. One of the largest, most read comics, the story follows a group of early 20-something friends and their trials and tribulations throughout life (often referencing indie or metal bands in the process).
In his free time, Jacques also writes, records, and produces an instrumental post-metal band which he lovingly has dubbed Deathmøle. For today’s comic, Jacques announced that he was opening a Kickstarter to fund an official release of a new album entitled Permanence that would involve him going into a studio and recording the album with Justin Pizzoferrato at the Easthampton Recording Co. The artwork, band logo, and t-shirt designs will be handled by John Keogh.
Less than 3 hours after announcing his project, Jacques’ goal of $9,500 was reached and, as of me writing this post, has past $17,000 with over 600 backers. Head on down to see the Kickstarter video and to hear some Deathmøle tunes from the Advances album.

The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.
The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”
The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.
Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).
The horror musical’s cast also includes Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.
When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.
As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.
Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
