Posted on by

Welcome to our revamped “Crowdfunding Corner” rounding up some of the latest crowdfunding news. We’re going beyond just announcement projects, we’ll be tracking to make sure these projects get delivered as well as what we think the “risk” of backing them are.

We’ll be updating the format as we get a better handle of the needs of this sort of coverage, so stay tuned and check out the first round of projects!

The Objectivist

THE OBJECTIVIST

Publisher: N/A
Creative Team: (w) Curt Pires (a) Alex Diotto, Luca Casalanguida (c) Mark Dale (l) Micah Myers (ca) Jae Lee
Launch Date: Launching soon
Risk: Medium – With the first crowdfunding campaign, it’s always worth some caution, there’s a good chance it’ll likely miss its expected release (a common issue with first campaigns)

Curt Pires, the comics trailblazer behind Galactic, Lost Fantasy, and countless other celebrarted works has announced the Kickstarter campaign for The Objectivist, a 140-page original graphic novel with art from acclaimed artists Alex Diotto (Lost Fantasy, Indigo Children) and Luca Casalanguida (Lost Fantasy), colors from Mark Dale, and lettering from Micah Myers.The project features haunting covers by Eisner Award-winning artist Jae Lee.

The Objectivist follows an isolated vigilante whose grip on sanity unravels as he mounts a one-man war against corruption. His journey quickly spirals into moral freefall when the foundations of truth that have fueled his blood-splattered crusade begin to crumble. The resulting narrative sucker punch weaves thematic and visual threads ranging from The Question, Sin City, and Batman: Year One to Steve Ditko’s Mr. A.

Fans can sign up for The Objectivist’s mailing list at the link below to receive updates when the project will launch. The graphic novel will be released in a physical hardcover as well as digitally on the digital comics and manga hub, Neon Ichiban, with detailed reward tiers to be announced closer to the Kickstarter launch.

Welcome to our revamped “Crowdfunding Corner” rounding up some of the latest crowdfunding news. We’re going beyond just announcement projects, we’ll be tracking to make sure these projects get delivered as well as what we think the “risk” of backing them are.

Let Me Fix You: Quirky, Sweet Yuri Manga by Sakura Kurihara

Let Me Fix You

Publisher: BluPetal Media
Creative Team: Sakura Kurihara
Launch Date: Currently funding – ends April 11 2026 7:53 AM EDT
Risk: Medium – With the first crowdfunding campaign, it’s always worth some caution, but the amount for a physical copy is very low.

Let Me Fix You (Kimi wo Tsumugu) is a critically acclaimed Yuri manga that blends the macabre with the deeply tender. The story follows Tsumugi, a quiet, skilled seamstress who finds herself in the company of Chise—a girl who is not quite alive, yet not quite gone.

As Tsumugi mends Chise’s physical form with careful stitches, a delicate bond forms between the living and the undead. It is a story about the labor of love, the beauty of the “broken,” and the lengths we go to for the people who make us feel whole.

Bringing a beautiful title like Let Me Fix You to a new audience is a labor of love—much like Tsumugu’s care for Chise! While the story is complete, the process of high-quality translation, professional lettering, and premium printing requires a significant upfront investment.

By backing this Kickstarter, you aren’t just buying a book; you are helping us:

  • Secure Licensing & Artist Support: Ensuring the original creator is fairly compensated for this new edition.
  • Ensure High Production Values: We want this book to feel substantial in your hands, from the paper quality to the amazing bonus stories we’ll be able to include if we hit our stretch goals.
  • Create Exclusive Merch: Items like the acrylic standees and the art postcards are only possible if we can order them in a large enough “batch.”

Every pledge helps us bridge the gap between a digital file and a beautiful physical volume that will stay “stitched” together on your shelf for years to come.

DAISY CASSIDY issues 1, 2 and 3

DAISY CASSIDY

Publisher: Broken Oar Comics
Creative Team: (w) Nicholas Doan (a) Eryn Tompsett

Risk: Low – The publisher has run previous crowdfunding campaigns and they’ve been delivered.

Nicholas Doan and Eryn Tompsett are ready to storm the galaxy with this new all-ages adventure!

When tasked by Space Commander “Mom” to watch after her little brother, Mikey, Daisy Cassidy thinks it’ll be a breeze. After all, as a self proclaimed Space Adventurer, she should be able to handle his mischievous antics.

But when Mikey proves to be too much of a handful for his older sister and escapes the house, he finds himself abducted by aliens! To prove her responsibility and to save her brother, Daisy must set out on an epic space rescue, through different planets, different trials, and all before her parents return from the space opera! 

Daisy Cassidy is a science fiction adventure for young readers, filled to the brim with humor, suspense, friendship and of course, SPACE! A passion project between veteran writer Nicholas Doan (Monster Elementry, Misfit Island) and emerging artist Eryn Tompsett (RPG Comics), this romp through the stars has homages to old science fiction classics while bringing a new spin for the newest generation of Space Adventurers.
 
After the successful release of two of Monster Elementary graphic novels, both of which won medals at the Independent Publisher Book Awards, Misfit Island and the mature readers hits, The Kid and The Ripper and Pray For Death, Writer and Creator Nicholas Doan is back with a brand new, original comic!

Those who have followed Broken Oar Comics’ publishing slate may have seen Daisy before. “I released limited edition versions of issues 1 and 2 to gage the interest and I’m happy to say I had no difficulty selling out. Issue 3 will make it’s debut in this campaign and issues 4 and 5 will come later in the year.” – Nick

But that’s not the end of the excitement. According to Nick, Daisy Cassidy will be entering the direct market later in the year. “Once all 5 issues are complete, I will start soliciting the series to shops through Philbo Distribution. This Kickstarter campaign will allow readers to get the first look at Daisy’s adventures.”
 
Nicholas Doan has run five highly successful Kickstarter campaigns. Combined, they have raised over $60,000.

Catching Hell #1 A Grindhouse Horror Comic Starring Reggie Bannister

From the Pages of a Lost Horror Magazine… Comes Pure Hellfire

This isn’t nostalgia. This isn’t a reboot. This is a blood soaked love letter to real horror icons.

In Catching Hell, Reggie Bannister doesn’t wear a superhero cape, he doesn’t need one. He’s an everyday guy with scars, grit, and a lifetime of bad decisions. When renegade demons slip through the cracks, someone has to do the dirty work. That someone is Reggie.

It’s loud. It’s brutal. It’s darkly funny in the way only true horror fans understand. And it proudly wears the DNA of drive in grindhouse films, midnight movie mayhem, and monsters that bite, not sparkle.

For over 50 years, Reggie Bannister has been a pillar of horror cinema. Most famously, he is the everyman hero Reggie from the legendary Phantasm franchise, a role that cemented his place in genre history. Fans around the world have cheered as he faced down the Tall Man and his nightmarish minions, proving that courage, heart, and stubborn determination can triumph over even the most unholy horrors.

Reggie isn’t just a name in the credits, he’s a living symbol of horror fandom, known for his grit, charisma, and everyman appeal. From independent cult classics to iconic genre films, he has earned lasting admiration from generations of horror fans.

Catching Hell puts Reggie front and center, not as a sidekick, not as a relic—but as the unstoppable, demon-slaying, witty, battle hardened hero we’ve always known he could be.

To celebrate her legacy, we’re bringing together an extraordinary collection of the most iconic, most requested, and most visually striking cover art and pin‑ups ever created for the character in PAINKILLER JANE: UNCOVERED. 

This 64‑page one‑shot is a love letter to Jane’s history, gathering three decades of artwork from some of the most influential and celebrated artists in the industry. For the first time, fans will be able to experience these pieces in a premium format, presented as the artists originally intended—logo‑free, remastered, and curated with care.at plunges readers into a world where memory, mystery, and monsters collide.

PaperFilms has earned a reputation for producing some of the highest‑quality indie comics on Kickstarter, over 25 successful campaigns, with every release printed on premium stock, using rich inks and sharp reproduction that showcase the artwork exactly as it deserves to be seen. Backers know that when a project carries the PaperFilms name, they’re getting top‑tier production values, meticulous attention to detail, and a final product built to last in any collection.

THE PROJECT:

This collection features an astonishing lineup of talent. Joe Quesada, Amanda Conner, Sean Gordon Murphy, Tim Bradstreet, Peach Momoko, Jimmy Palmiotti, Rick Leonardi, Bill Sienkiewicz, Juan Santacruz, Lee Moder, Enrico Marini, Ben Caldwell, John Cebollero, Nelson DeCastro, Piere Brito, Josh Burns, Alecia Rodriguez, Dave Johnson, Scott Hampton, Justin Norman, Branko Jovanic, Rafel De Latorre, and many more have all contributed to Jane’s visual identity over the years. Their interpretations—gritty, elegant, fierce, stylized, and everything in between—showcase the evolution of a character who has survived bullets, betrayals, and the shifting landscape of comics themselves.

But this project isn’t just about celebrating the past. We’re also creating brand‑new, ultra‑limited covers exclusively for this Kickstarter campaign. Amanda Conner, Peach Momoko, Sean Gordon Murphy, and Tim Bradstreet are each contributing new pieces that will be available only through this campaign and never reprinted in this format again. These editions are designed to be true collector’s items—rare, striking, and created by artists whose work defines modern comics.

Painkiller Jane has always thrived because of the passion of her fans and the dedication of the creators who believed in her. This project is a chance to honor that history while giving readers something genuinely special: a beautifully produced, definitive art collection that captures everything that makes Jane unforgettable. Whether you’ve followed her since the ’90s or you’re discovering her for the first time, this book is a celebration of the character’s resilience, the artists’ craft, and the creative spirit that has kept Jane alive for three decades.

When Black Sabbath (not the Beatles) became the world’s most famous band, the universe was changed, musically and otherwise. Lost arts, like Alchemy, were made common, schools taught about transfiguration and alternate science, Demons were summoned and some stuck around.

Lana LOVES music. She has played in bands all through high school and now, in college, she still plays in her ex’s fledgling metal band. She’s convinced their drummer to play her indie songs in secret. She’s finishing up the best practice yet when they are drawn into a spiritual battle to keep metal on the top of the charts.

The first miniseries was a wild ride of Daywolves, Metal Cults and hybrid creatures.

The second arc had Lana and the crew taking the next step in their musical journey as they headed to the mysterious Silver Mountain to record their first album. The recording session is a wrap and most of them didn’t get remastered. 

The Final arc is taking the band on the road for their first World Tour, but who will make it to the encore!

All THREE issues- 20 Stunning Black and White interiors story pages- 18-19 by Dan Dougherty and 1-2 pages of added content- FINAL ISSUE 24 PAGES-Standard American size book, Full Color Covers.

HAUNTED: Mary Shelley and the Creation of Frankenstein

HAUNTED: Mary Shelley and the Creation of Frankenstein

Publisher: Humanoids
Creative Team: (w/a) Koren Shadmi
Launch Date: Soon – March 25
Risk: Medium/High – While they have run and delivered previous campaigns, there are currently two that have been funded and yet to be fulfilled and will not for many months. This can be a warning sign.

Humanoids has announced a forthcoming Kickstarter for Haunted: a brand new bio-comic on Mary Shelley, the visionary young woman who penned Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus at eighteen and changed the world.

After critically-acclaimed releases such as The Twilight Man: Rod Serling and the Birth of Television, Lugosi: The Rise and Fall of Hollywood’s Dracula, and All Tomorrow’s Parties: The Velvet Underground Story, Humanoids and writer-artist Koren Shadmi wanted to focus on a critical female figure in the pop culture zeitgeist.

Timed to Women’s History Month, this project sheds light on Shelley’s upbringing and does not shy away from her strained marriage to Percy Shelley which was colored by tragedy, multiple miscarriages and poverty. That said, it focuses predominantly on her creative conception of the seminal work, even featuring the monster himself as a recurring character in the graphic novel as seen in the below preview pages. 

Years in the making, the campaign is set to go live on Kickstarter on March 25, as a quieter, yet triumphant finale to this past year’s mania catalyzed by Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride.

A scarecrow possessed by the spirit of an early Midwestern settler, Feast in the Furrow evokes the stickiness of humid late summer days through a sweaty murder mystery the eponymous anti-hero finds himself embroiled in.

To find the ancient dagger needed for this killing, Bix has chased a ghost, had his arm ripped off, thrown a cat-burglar off a building, shaken down mystics, been brain-probed by a nine-year-old witch, and is now in the clutches of the mysterious society of monsters known as The Council Macabre. With the help of Diego, the rockabilly vampire, Bix discovers the identity of the killer who has picked up where his long-lost brother left off in a secret lair beneath the streets of Harbor City.

Issue #4 also continues the eight-page backup Zombietown, featuring art by Argentinian artist Gonzalo Ruggieri (Rumble, Convert, Two Moons), which follows Detective Maritza Ramirez deep into the undead-controlled quarantine zone known as Z-Town, where her search for the truth behind her father’s disappearance puts her face-to-face with Il Cosa Muerte, the zombie mafia!

Demonheart is a 3-book codex with over 450 pages, a new class, 7 new domains, 66 new subclasses, a Hellish setting, a full adventure, and more for Daggerheart.

This project marks DRS’ first descent into Daggerheart, a system originally created by Critical Role. It will include the first major adventure ever written for the Daggerheart system, and embraces an edgy, unflinching plunge into a biblical Hell that is very dark and very gory. Players descend into a brutal infernal metropolis of torture, execution gardens, and endless chains, taking on the roles of the damned themselves. With subclasses inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins and a new Sin Domain mechanic, Demonheart challenges players to face demonic legions and terrifying tyrants as they ascend the ladders of damnation.

Demonheart embraces themes of corruption and damnation, pushing players toward uncomfortable, high-stakes choices. It will include unusual mechanics, like instructions for turning player characters into demons, for example. Centered on narrative play, Demonheart’s story evolves through the choices players make. Players actively shape the tone of the game by building Hope or inviting Fear, turning every roll into a meaningful story.

Highlights include:

  • Three books, each 150 pages
  • Demonheart supplement book for new mechanics
  • Demonheart setting book with descriptions of Hell and its inhabitants
  • New Daggerheart content
  • Unusual Mechanics
  • Dark Themes
  • Narrative Depth

Demonheart – The Vile Codex for Daggerheart will be launching on Kickstarter on April 21, 2026, with exclusive early backer rewards and limited-edition goodies that fans won’t want to miss.
