writes for Bleeding Cool First off, I just launched a Kickstarter with my partner Alex Siquig to raise funds for printing our first graphic novel.  I'll share a secret with you, this is our 2nd attempt.  We failed about a month ago.  But that's the great thing about the internet, it's full of 2nd chances. Black Snow It's[...]

As is becoming a standard in the genre, they went to Kickstarter to fund the book, bringing along a stretch goal to have the iconic Hellblazer artist, Tim Bradstreet, produce the art for the entire Deluxe edition Every clan, bloodline and sect image will now be a Tim Bradstreet original, a complete vision from the[...]

This is from the Jimmy's End storyboard, eighty panels as originally drawn by Alan Moore in 2010, and only available in the Jimmy's End's screenplay book, available signed and numbered only as part of the £150 donor reward for the His Heavy Heart kickstarter One for true Alan Moore collectors, there…. This is from the[...]

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. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39fdD21HjO8[/youtube] Something tells me the new T-shirt donor reward may be quite popular[...]

We couldn't be more proud. This packaging is exclusive to Kickstarter donors at the £30 level. And hiding behind Khandie? Why that's Mr Metterton, as played by Alan Moore in Jimmy's End and drawn by storyboard artist Kristian Hammerstad 8" by 5½", 80 pages long, the hardback book will contain the DVD of the short films, plus extras[...]

They are continuing to promote their Kickstarter appeal to fund the last of their Jimmy's End short films, His Heavy Heart And Alan Moore had decided to do so stroking a stuffed pussy cat and sporting an eye patch… and talking about their upcoming film and/or TV series The Show.

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[...]

Remember folks, gay superheroes don't sell. Yet somehow a Kickstarter campaign for Young Protectors has just blown past $85,000 in raised revenue, six times its projected amount with a week to go and six figures in sight. It is already available online for free at youngprotectors.com but this campaign will raise funds to get it into print. Created[...]

This IS my blood, sweat and tears on every page, and with your help, you will get to experience it all first hand.

   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"[...]

Alex Woolfson writes; I'm going to tell you how to succeed with Kickstarter I'm going to tell you this in part because I'm looking to spread the word about my currently-running Kickstarter project: The Young Protectors Volume One, but mainly because I think that crowdfunding is the most effective (and most fun) way for people like[...]

By Mike Lukash Kickstarter is the most important tool comic fans have Kickstarter is the most direct monetary vote to artistic vision a fan can buy And creators use it to find their audience Take for example the graphic novel, "Clan of the Vein". According to their Kickstarter website: "Clan of the Vein is an action-packed graphic[...]

It's been alive, dead, alive again, and if our current Kickstarter campaign numbers maintain, on its way to being dead again And you know what? As much as it would suck, I'm okay with that Either way, it's already had a significant influence on me in terms of my "career strategy" no matter what happens. As[...]

The two are wrapping up their second successful Kickstarter campaign in just as many years, and now they're that much closer toward putting their latest collaboration in stores. You never know," Brandon says, speaking of the Kickstarter campaign's success "It worked out pretty well on [our last project] Halloween Eve "Yeah, we're trying an actual series this[...]

So we decided to try and raise the money on Kickstarter. Thinking of ways to advertise the game created a whole new space for our imaginations to go crazy We made a TV-style commercial for the game, as if it had actually been on the market in the 1980s John, who also does action figure customising,[...]

Darrin O'Toole writes; Anyone browsing Kickstarter this week may have come across a project that on first look seems a little familiar. "Earthruler" came about due to a gap in the comics market Was the gap a need for a caped all powerful flying man? No The gap was for someone to take one of[...]

By Cody Walker When I began my Kickstarter, I was worried that it would fail However, after we met our goal, I didn't realize how guilty I would feel. First, a little context. Picture it Missouri, September 2004 Jeph Loeb and Michael Turner were finishing their run on Superman/Batman, Joss Whedon had surprised readers with[...]

Jump in with the rest of society and launch a kickstarter! It's a scary, crazy, wonderful thing this kickstarter is and this is the only way we can get more of Scarlet Huntress out there to be loved We learned over the past year that life is too short not to live the dream and[...]
