365 Infantry: The Ride for 2025 is a Kickstarter campaign to fund Year 4 of creator Jacob Calta’s audacious sci-fi series. This campaign gives readers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring a project cut from the classic pulp mold to the competitive levels of the genre’s Golden Age!

365 Infantry began as a free quarterly webzine on Substack, and concerns an ongoing fight for freedom in the 25th century. In one corner stands the power-mad A.I. network A.C.E.S. In the other, the desert-based 365th Infantry, a rag-tag resistance force armed with souped-up hot rods and motorcycles, piloted by legions of daring wolven heroes. The magazine covers their plight and many others, delivering on exciting episodic adventures and serialized story arcs set in the cyberpunk megalopolis Haven and the metalhead madness of the Wastelands. The high-octane excitement of Mad Max, the future noir atmosphere of Blade Runner, and the sheer variety of classic magazines like Heavy Metal all lie at the heart of this series, with a unique, sharp-clawed twist.

There are five stories told in the magazine:

• “The War,” the exciting story of the Infantry and A.C.E.S., locked in eternal battle
  
• “The Hunt,” a psychological adventure serial, led by survivors of a deadly torture scheme
  
• “The Urban Avenger,” a cyberpunk action comedy,about Haven’s vigilante-in-residence
  
• “The Speedfreak Files,” a western crime series about three rock stars capturing crooks
  
• “Tales from the Front Line,” an anthology that takes readers around the world and into the lives of unique side characters and our heroes’ pasts.
  

Calta has been building up an impressive library and production house to deliver true pulp entertainment at true pulp prices, supported by the illustrative talents of Kevin John Jacob, the audio wizardry of Brendan Rechnitzer on radio adventure series “Alan Firedale” and a growing base of loyal readers.
