We mentioned how the character of Onyx, appearing in Green Arrow last month was looking a little on the pale side compared to her previous appearances in

But, honestly, I don't know what took so long.  I fight crime, man, not deadlines!  If I had to take a guess, I'd imagine other stuff came up.  Different opportunities, changes in the marketplace – things like that.  Of course, like I said, I don't know for sure.  If it had been robots or mole[...]

Brian Schirmer writes for Bleeding Cool: By the end of this month, Ultrasylvania – the comic series I created with Jeremy Saliba (Dynamite's Wheel of Time) – will truly have run its course.  All the recruiting of artists, the crafting of pages, the Kickstarter campaigning – all done.  The third and final volume will join its[...]

It was called Kickstarter I finally had a method to raise money to pay an artist to draw my comic. I started visiting forums dedicated to connecting artist with writers and encouraged discussion on the business and craft of making comic books It was on one of these sites that I discovered Miguel He was displaying[...]

At the center of this[...]

This is what Mark Waid has to say on the Kickstarter page: As I've been saying, it's not "Digital vs Print," it's "Digital AND Print I've had my eye on "Varney" for a while now It's clever, it's really well done, and Thrillbent is happy to promote it Writer Scott Massino and[...]

Now we just needed to create the book…and figure out how we could give it away.

Distributors often refuse to pick up small-press titles.  Crowd-funding operations like Kickstarter have made it possible for a small business like Sanguine to produce alternative content. When we picked up Matt Howarth to help us produce our last project, the Myriad Song game, he amazed us with all the ideas he had for people, aliens, planets,[...]

Slowly following these characters' overlapping or conflicting choices in a world of harsh survival, The Chieftains makes for a far more satisfying telling of Deborah's against-all-odds origins and journey to heroism. Because this kind of iconoclastic adaptation cannot be funded through the usual route (religious institutions), we hope that you'll help us produce our first issue[...]

At first glance, I'll agree, this project is far from original, Zombies, Graphic Novel…Blah, blah,blah Zombies they are everywhere these days.  Books, comics, television, and even movies have Zombies shambling and stumbling around every corner of entertainment, so what makes[...]

Suspend that old man/woman comic-curmudgeonness. Embrace the fun! Embrace Under Where? (Just made you say underwear). Under Where? is currently on Kickstarter right now, and much like I believe in the genuine nature of the heroes of old, I believe that getting a book produced because fans believe in that book is a simple pure form of self-publishing[...]

Kickstarter is a great way for comics that might never see the light of day to get back and published Joshua Starnes has a project like that, it's called Curiosity.
