Is Kickstarter the best way to go on this? I am believing to think is it How many of you fans-friends out there would be willing to support this project? Basically, they all did… Neal Adams, just after his appearance at the London Film and Comic Con at the weekend, posed the following to Facebook; After all[...]

It's a fun book, it really is, I wanted to get a lot of cool characters in there and really wanted to make something that could speak to a vast audience, and I think the question of identity, is one of those topics, I think when people see the pages and get a feel of[...]

Each could just about  live with loss as they did at times throughout their careers, but not knowing? That's an entirely different beast.

The Kickstarter campaign for His Heavy Heart, the last chapter in the Jimmy's End Cycle should be especially a big deal because it would complete the first feature length movie to be made with an original screenplay he wrote He even appears in it as the mysterious stage mystic Mr Metterton. I was surprised that no[...]

Harrison's art is a visual treat, meticulous character design matched with a sketchy un-inked line style and an artfully sparse palette choice combine to give a webcomic that looks like nothing else out there. Not content with putting out a regular webcomic they've also just launched a Kickstarter to fund putting some of the comics most[...]

As Alan Moore and Mitch Jenkins' kickstarter appeal for His Heavy Heart approaches the halfway funding mark, Moore has a personal message for those, including Bleeding Cool readers, who have backed him in this venture.

Oppenheimer saw was a fifty foot harbinger of atomic death? And thus World War Kaiju was born. So why take World War Kaiju to Kickstarter? Why now? Do I even need to say it? Pacific Rim If there was ever a time when the public would be receptive to my wacked out idea of a Cold War[...]

With the last dollars to my name I paid an, out-of-work film production guy to do a video then, I assembled what art assets I possessed and went to Kickstarter In its first week, the project has made far less than the love-a-thon friends fantasized would take place As far as my thoughts: Is it[...]

   Fernando Ramirez writes; Getting a chance to do comics nowadays is really hard.  Most companies don't accept submissions.  You have to attend

 That's the advice I got in Kickstarter school for what I need to do when I make my video  From my friends and peers who want me to succeed in my campaign  Of course that's the right approach  So, I set up my camera, figured out what I was going to say, and hit "record"[...]
