Sean Gordon Murphy (Hellblazer: City of Angels) has put together quite a unique project and is using kickstarter to make it happen He is going to work with six up-and-coming students on a two-week apprenticeship during which he and the students will created a 100-page soft cover anthology called Cafe Racer. The concept for the book is that a[...]

We have launched a Kickstarter campaign for our first ever graphic novel titled "Kitty & Batz: Hypnotic Homicide"! I know you're reading this, wondering "Why should I care? What makes "Kitty & Batz" so special that I need to back the project?" Well, to help you realize what an awesome comic book series "Kitty & Batz"[...]

Now the book is done, the story is complete, and I'm running a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds to print it as a graphic novel (more on that later) Ten years is a long time to work on one project and the real-world future has changed shape considerably from when the story began. A Mad[...]

Kickstarter seems to be what all the kids are doing these days, so we thought we'd give that a go too. After a few years of developing this movie, the Apocalype Nerd Movie Kickstarter campaign launched this week. Whilst this isn't the first comic-book movie to be crowd-funded, the project does represent a bit of a shift[...]

I got to read the novel, before it became a graphic novel.  This story, with all its writer's twentieth century colloquialisms, has been growing and evolving into the graphic novel currently gathering backers on Kickstarter. I've heard the story from writer Scott Fogg for a couple years now It's the story of an introverted little boy[...]

Hence Map Flats was hatched. We are currently running a Kickstarter campaign to gain a good pulse on these maps and get a feel for how we will proceed with them in the future We have intention on doing a lot more sets for a lot more genres. You can find out more information about Map Flats here or http://mapflats.com or http://splorkgames.com [...]

Started appropriately on Halloween, Holly Golightly's Kickstarter to extend her comic series School Bites has already met its goal Published by Broadsword Comics, a company founded by her and her husband Jim Balent (Catwoman, Tarot, Witch of the Black Rose), School Bites was created in 2004 as the second title form the publisher by Golightly who[...]

I can hear the cry now, "that's not what Kickstarter is for" But maybe it could be. Last year, co-founder of Fantagraphics Kim Thompson died, and many books and publications had to be cancelled as a result, something that hit the publisher's bottom line considerably And now, with cash-flow biting, they have turned to their readers[...]

Half of these have already been claimed, but there is still time to grab one. kickstarter page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jimkern/the-fall-of-max-atom website: http://maxatomcomic.tumblr.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/maxatomcomic Jim Kern writes for Bleeding Cool: A couple years back I was watching the Micheal Douglas movie Falling Down and thought what if this happened to a Super Hero[...]

So I made a decision. On the Friday of the New York Comic Con I launched a kickstarter for a print run of a trade paperback collection of my stories It's a modest goal of $1500 I shot the video at my booth where I discussed all of the stories The Weakling, part war story and part[...]

1, Kintz and writer Sam Eggleston launched the Kickstarter campaign for Cazadora, a 28-page creator-owned comic that is seeking funds to cover the costs of a colorist and letterer and printing. "I had an image in my head and put it down on paper," said Kintz, affectionately known by his fans as Rantz "The next day[...]

Shawn Dumumbrum writes; After completing their first successful Kickstarter campaign and publishing the first issue of their Cromwell Green this summer, Jessica Kobe and Michael Wooley have returned to Kickstarter to fund Issue 2  Their goal for Issue 2 is a less ambitious $1000 with only a few days left in their campaign.  I personally[...]

We're talking actual art on actual paper that you can frame and hang on your actual walls.  That's ART. 8) Because you, or a brand new hero or villain that you create, will appear in the brand new prologue sequence being created especially for this collection.  That's right – you can cameo and mingle with the[...]

Darren Randell writes for Bleeding Cool: OH GOD THE PRESSURE! I mean hi gentle reader, I recently launched my baby into the Thunderdome known as Kickstarter where it now fights for it's life in a bloodied arena filled with the unfunded corpses of a thousand Indy comics As a first time project creator on Kickstarter it does kind of[...]

That lazy, confusing rebel of a man has starred in many a short story of mine so it's only right I bring him to life for everyone else to enjoy. The concept of kickstarter made me very scared, for someone like me who was used to ploughing through and relying on himself and his determination to[...]

And not just any strangers, but actual comic fans and other creators. Which brings us more or less to October 31st, the day we launched the Kickstarter campaign Within hours of launching, our project was selected as a Kickstarter Staff Pick It's a point of pride for me personally, but it doesn't get the comic made[...]

Which is why I'm extremely proud of the work I've done on my new creator owned book, Stray, currently seeking funding on Kickstarter. On the surface, Stray looks to be a typical Batman-clone, and I'll grant you that I am a huge Batman fan, and will probably die regretting the tattoo on my shoulder However, I[...]

Jason Ponggasam writes for Bleeding Cool: This is a story of how the "little guys" and a fat rabbit became a Kickstarter project, Fat Rabbit Farm: Mutated Bill's Sweet Revenge.  About 7 years ago, I had given my finance, Patty Variboa a gift A gift that we never thought would change our lives forever That gift[...]

With my Kickstarter (http://kck.st/18hmD7H) now well underway I can firmly say I've started to see that seed sprout What's even more amazing is how many friends, family, neighbors and strangers have come by to help water this little sprout too. As a first-time Kickstarter creator I've been overwhelmed by the support of a community of people[...]

They were also creepy, weird, and fun! Remember fun? We dared ourselves to do better than the blandness on offer.  Now, we have put ourselves and our work out there on Kickstarter We wrote an awesome script We've collaborated with artists and invited them to bring our characters to life We've stopped criticizing, who has time[...]

The OLD WARRIOR, , the IMPRESSIONABLE BOY, and the fate of FEUDAL Japan….SONS OF FATE  now on Kickstarter! "When you  swing of your sword will have the intent of cutting into the universe itself Swing with your whole being, If true your will will carry through your swing, it will be a true cut.  A cut[...]

Written by Todd Emko and based on his experiences with a rescue dog, Piggy, from the Dominican Republic, who now resides with Emko in New York, "A Piggy's Tale" is live on Kickstarter for its first two issues with a wide range of rewards from buttons to stickers, totebags, t-shirts, and the promise of comics[...]

One of them is something that is close to my heart called, "Kung Fu Skratch!". I believe that crowd funding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo are the best resources for up and comers to bring their projects to life, it helped me fulfill that dream and get Issue 1 funded.  Not only was I able to[...]

Undeniably yes! Regardless of what happens with Kickstarter, what I'll always remember from Tuesday, October 22nd is the incredible smell that touched my face when I cut open my box of comic books It smelled like Heaven It took me deep into every sense of failure and every moment of determination to keep trying, and I[...]

They click off your page, delete your Email or mentally check out of the conversation…you've lost them forever. I recently reached out to Kick-Ass creator Mark Millar about my current Kickstarter project (sci-fi/superhero novel 'Assault or Attrition') and this was the pitch I sent him: — The premise is somewhat like, "What if Lex Luthor succeeded in killing Superman?" Not just[...]

Dirk Manning writes; Before I get to the "meat" of today's column, let me get this quick little bit of business out of the way: I recently launched my first ever Kickstarter campaign to bring my formerly online-only horror-noir series Tales of Mr Rhee to print as both a standard TPB and – much more awesomely –[...]

Kate Lollar writes; Have you ever backed a Kickstarter, gotten excited about it, eagerly checked back on the last day of its campaign, and realized it wasn't fully funded? That sucks It also sucks for the project developers We've compiled a list of 4 cool Kickstarters that don't deserve to lose Listed in order of urgency,[...]

I became acquainted with Satu Runa in the events surrounding New York Comic Con and was impressed by the multi-layered plot aspects of her project Queen Gorya, which was about to go to Kickstarter It's a TV pilot starring a late night cable show host of the Elvira variety, crosses over into an occult fan[...]

The Dare2Draw "The Series" Kickstarter has only a little more than 24 hours left to meet its goals, and though it's close, it may well cross the finish line Time to get onboard if you haven't yet to support a show that's by artists for artists and committed to celebrating comic art. The events, which are[...]
