We just launched our very first Kickstarter and while we understood all the steps necessary for success it is still tough watching the number of backers trickle in, in the first day (Thanks Mom) Now the publicity machine is in high gear as Jeff goes to the Baltimore Comic-Con this weekend and I man the[...]

At least that's the plan. We are using Kickstarter to sell the first 6-issue story, which we hope to then assemble into a graphic novel We are putting finishing touches on Issue # 1 and if it sells we'll be able to publish. For me, the fun of drawing Super Penguin goes beyond the sheer joy of[...]

Or, in other words a group of heroes gather together to stop a crazy woman from obtaining the essence of the gods! Think of it as the Lord of the Rings meets DC's Crisis. Which brings us to the here and now! We decided to create a kickstarter campaign to get GOD CELL: GATE OF THE[...]

Anthony Ruttgaizer writes; What if everyone who ever had superpowers had gone insane and become a threat to society?  What if one man gained abilities

Some might even suggest that in the future, the only Elephants or Sharks we might have are tusk-less and fin-less zombies; see what I did there? I combined two of my passions! I also like pizza and ice-cream, but thankfully I've managed to avoid creating a chocolate chip cookie dough, ham & pineapple slice. So what[...]

  So I launched a webcomic and a Kickstarter for the first book in this trilogy of books  If you're a fan of stories about adventure, mystery, conspiracy and growing up I humbly submit this sentimental sap's book to you for your support… Michael Regina writes; I'm a cartoonist and I am a hopeless, sentimental sap[...]

Avoid the boredom of the conventional and still tell great stories. My most recent comic, Last Ride for Horsemen, is funding on Kickstarter NOW. Clown Town is available digitally via comiXology and Amazon (for Kindle). Roadkill du Jour can be purchased directly from my website. By Kevin LaPorte Write what you know. Write for the masses.

Ever since we decided to launch VIRGIL on Kickstarter I've been sweating bullets, spending every waking hour talking to anyone that will listen about the book Why would I make this part of my life? Because it's time. While groups fight for Marriage Equality in the USA, 70% of Jamaican Citizens did not believe gays and[...]

Currently it's a popular webcomic but with a little help from Kickstarter, the graphic novel 'Lilith Dark and the Beastie Tree' will hit the printed page too. As well as being a great read, there's something vitally important about supporting a book like this Comics, despite what some people might think, aren't just for 40 year[...]

This subject matter may be disturbing and is intended for a mature audience. Jason Pell and Ryan Howe have taken to Kickstarter for a very different project One that plays on a topic often shied away from… suicide In Suicide 5, a group of friends decide they want to achieve immortality… not the live-forever type, but the[...]

In order to share Drones with the rest of the world, we're running a Kickstarter campaign to get the tpb printed Now it's time to get other people, ie you, involved in this bizarre discussion As a special promotion, I'm opening up a reward level that Bleeding Cool readers are hearing about first It will give[...]

Kickstarter This is the part where all the hard work we've poured into 'The Wisdom of Fools' is laid out in front of perfect strangers and we ask those strangers to help fund our dream It seems like such an audacious thing to do! I'll be honest, I'm nervous Not because I don't believe in[...]

Here is the kickstarter project.   Brian John Mitchell writes for Bleeding Cool: So… I make comics the size of a pack of matches.  They're kind of my thing. Telling stories in 40 panels that harkens back to the Golden Age when comic stories were self-contained & only 4-6 pages long.  Stories that are a mix of fun &[...]

It's a pure passion project for all of us, and we want to keep doing it more than anything. Never one to be called smart, I laid out our problems on the Gutters Facebook page last week, and the overwhelming response from you folks was to go the hail Mary play (a sports reference?) and try[...]

Sean McGrath writes for Bleeding Cool: OK, I have a long story to tell, so if you suspect you're going to TL;DR a few sentences in, just skip to the last paragraph to find out what I'm offering Bleeding Cool readers this weekend on my The GeekERIE Kickstarter.  HINT: it'll be gorgeous! For everyone else, if you've[...]

I've donated to the Kickstarter fund towards the creation of a Scary Godmother Fashion Doll from Jill Thompson, and will be receiving one on its creation for my daughters. But how will they regard it in ten or twenty years? When going through their possessions, wondering what to keep and not, what to take to university,[...]

Matt Campbell writes for Bleeding Cool:  Kickstarter is a launching point for many new independent comic books, and one of the latest comic books to enter the kickstarter world is Mythica created by Matt Campbell. Mythica is an epic adventure set in WWI, where the heroes face the horror of war, and the terrors of the underworld[...]

I'm still excited about handling certain Marvel characters, but I'm more excited about doing my own creator-owned projects. After months of research and meetings, I have three options: 1) Kickstarter 2) Marvel Icon 3) Partnering up with independent publishers All three options are viable and each has potential for success As matter of fact, my first creator-owned project launches at[...]

The second graphic novel is 86 pages. I'm currently running a Kickstarter campaign because I want to continue the story I recently became a father, and am unable to do this without help I'm asking for that help I feel that fans of the original will love the new stuff I also want to bring the original[...]

Mike Suchcicki writes for Bleeding Cool: Dads tend to bond with their sons over common interests and shared projects, like auto restoration or model trains or hunting and fishing or quilting (hey, it can happen). I bond with my son Joe over the game we created and the universe we built around it. The game is called GHOULASH:[...]

He sets out on a quest to liberate the kingdom from a tyrannical ruler! About "An Action Figure Project" The purpose of the Kickstarter is to raise funds in order to produce two 5 inch scale action figure prototypes for a proposed line of action figures that will complement The Kingdom comic book Each prototype will feature a[...]

You can learn more by watching our project video here. My team and I launched the Kickstarter on August 6th, and so far, the public response has been overwhelming People are hungry for this kind of story, far hungrier than I had realized They want the same bold future I want, and that gives me hope[...]

It would be disingenuous of me to say that I wasn't disturbed by watching the first four film pieces, now downloadable for people who backed Moore and Jenkins' Kickstarter for the final part of the cycle, His Heavy Heart. I watched Act of Faith first, since that follows the recommended order on the Kickstarter page, and[...]

We'd reported on some of the dodginess concerning Jesse Grillo, Bleeding Ink Productions and Kickstarter before Today it all came to a head. Hey everyone I have some sad news Bleeding Ink is no more I can't handle the disappointments and failures associated with trying to create so many projects Between the trolls and people not[...]

The Kickstarter I'm running to get this printed (and my first book reprinted), and some tips on getting your work as a comic book artist out there in the world. Being an illustrator and a comic book artist is a hard life to live This is a field where you have to work your butt off,[...]

But then someone else pointed out that I still had the digital files, and suggested giving Kickstarter a shot. So I decided to launch a campaign to get the book back into print after all these years Only, if I was going to do it, I was going to do it right A nice hardcover edition[...]

Salvatore Brucculeri writes; Do you have any idea what it’s like to have $124,000 of student loan debt dwindling over your head? The pressure and overall

Unlike the Christian Heaven where one has to have faith that it exists, here is HEAVEN and it is REAL – you just have to be able to be able to pay your monthly premium to get in! HEAVEN asks the question: Do we deserve this creation? Being located in Australia I turned to Indiegogo for Crowdfunding[...]

But by the time you're done reading this, we hope to not only have your sympathy but also your support for our comic on Kickstarter. Now is when you say, "Hi Evan and Lou"—as a way of welcoming us, two ad men, into the warmth of your hearts (Because we know you love advertising, and you[...]
