Turns out its for a graphic novel Templesmith is doing through 44Flood and Kickstarter. The project has already met its goal and then some… but there are some awesome rewards still available. This how the book is described on the site: THE SQUIDDER is an original graphic novel about an old soldier from a forgotten war in a post-apocalyptic[...]

The accessibility of the over-arching idea allows us to do complex and interesting things with our characters and our story. My collaborator on The Spider King is the amazingly talented Italian illustrator Simone D'Armini, and we've just launched a kickstarter campaign to fund the production of the first volume If it sounds like something you're interested[...]

 I'm sure very, very few of you will recognize my name from my scattered BC Con coverage reports.  A few more might recognize my name from the inside front covers of the FUBAR series of historical zombie fiction.  I've gotten about sixty pages worth of short stories published over the last two years through FUBAR Press and[...]

Bleeding Cool's Kickstarter Correspondent, Shawn Demumbrum has lead three Kickstarter campaigns to launch comic books, two successfully funded and one that wasn't.  He helps point out some of the unique Kickstarter projects that wouldn't normally be published by the big comic book companies, but deserve your attention.  Shawn is the Manager of Comic Book Programming[...]

That's why I've taken it to kickstarter.   If you can help me raise our goal, it will open the door not just for Bad Dreams, but a number of future projects I have waiting in the wings Check some of these out at my garyart.net site. If you back Bad Dreams, I won't forget your help[...]

Thom Pratt writes for Bleeding Cool: www.shadowbinders.com A few days ago, my wife Kambrea and I launched another Kickstarter campaign. And we're doing it all wrong. We're attempting to Kickstart a family-friendly adventure graphic novel in the vein of The Goonies and Mark Twain. And it's not even done yet In fact, we've barely started on the artwork. The rewards are[...]

We never expected that bullying victims would latch on to Bully's Bully as they have and those numbers seem to keep growing. With these stories we've heard, it's driven us even harder to reach out and connect with those fans, in addition to telling better stories. So this journey has ended up with this whole Kickstarter thing[...]

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.

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.

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[...]
