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

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.
