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.

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.

For thirty years, Painkiller Jane has carved out her place as one of the most enduring and explosive characters in independent comics. 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.

Drumsticks of Doom: Queen of Queens 1-3

Drumsticks of Doom: Queen of Queens 1-3

Publisher: Part-time Comix
Creative Team: (a) Dan Dougherty, JT Molloy (w) Jon Westhoff (l) Jon Westhoff
Launch Date: Currently funding – ends April 22 2026 8:05 PM EDT
Risk: Low – The publisher has run previous crowdfunding campaigns and they’ve been delivered.

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.

Hela and Knull’s Cosmic Collision Unleashes Hel on Earth in Queen in Black!

Posted on by

This summer, Queen in Black, a five-issue event series by mastermind writer Al Ewing and superstar artist Iban Coello, conquers the Marvel Universe!

Queen in Black spins out of Ewing’s acclaimed work on Venom as well as the new Knull limited series that saw Hela seize Knull’s throne, forcing the God of the Void to claim a new power for himself. Their conflict erupts across the cosmos, coming to a head on Earth where Marvel’s heroes are all that stand in the way of the world being torn asunder by the forces of Light and Dark, both bent on enveloping the universe in their own brand of nothingness! In addition to the core series centered around Spider-Man, Venom, Mary Jane, Eddie Brock, and Dylan Brock, new tie-in series will see Queen in Black’s impact on other corners of the Marvel Universe.

To celebrate the launch of the summer’s biggest event, Queen in Black #1 will be available in Marvel’s new True Believers Blind Bags. They give fans a chance to purchase the issue in special sealed bags, but unlike previous True Believer Blind Bags, Queen in Black #1 True Believers Blind Bags will only contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering. The main cover and regular open-to-order variant covers cannot be found in True Believers Blind Bags, making it the most exciting and rewarding True Believers Blind Bag experience yet!

Two of the most powerful evils in the galaxy are at war… A cosmic collision of evil versus evil with Venom, Mary Jane and Dylan Brock caught right in the middle!

Chef José Andrés joins the Marvel Universe with Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish

Posted on by

Next month, experience a heroic adventure that’s sure to satisfy your every craving in Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish #1! The first-of-its-kind one-shot will deliver a story by writer Steve Orlando and artist Roi Mercado that sees Spider-Man team up with a real-world hero—Michelin-starred and James Beard Award-winning chef, restaurateur, and humanitarian, José Andrés, alongside his fearless team at World Central Kitchen! Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish #1 will be the first in a series of one-shots this year celebrating José’s life-changing and impactful work to provide food and nourishment to communities in crisis around the world.

Comics crossing over with the world of food and chefs has been a popular thing lately. Marvel launched Meals to Astonish in August 2025 (which had the same cover as Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish) as a spin off of the T.E.S.T. Kitchen Infinity Comic which itself had releases going back to 2022. DC Comics launched their own Taste of Justice in 2024 and José Andrés was even a part of it in 2025.

In Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish, Peter Parker heads downtown to photograph the opening of world-class chef José Andrés’ brand-new restaurant at New York’s famous Mercado Little Spain but soon finds it crashed by an insatiable villain: Electro! The electric fiend came prepared for Spider-Man, so José must chip in with Spidey to save the day—and everyone’s dinner!

In addition to the main story featuring Andrés, fans will be able to experience the T.E.S.T. Kitchen Infinity Comic for the first time in print! The story follows Chef Anna Ameyama whose dream of running her own food truck has finally come true—until it’s crushed into collateral damage during an Iron Man fight! But when Tony Stark tastes the deliciousness he just devastated, he offers her a new job: as his personal chef! The best part? Anna’s recipes (created by Michelin-starred chef Paul Eschbach!) are included so you’ll see how surprisingly easy it is to eat like an Avenger right in your own home!

Following that, readers will witness the return of the most delicious hero in the Spider-Verse in a new SPIDER-RAMEN adventure by Ken Niimura that will leave your mouth watering for more!

And finally, True Believers can take a seat at Jeff’s Table, a new Jeff the Land Shark series by Gustavo Duarte! Jeff has captured the hearts of fans…now he’s going to win over your stomachs! Discover a Land Shark’s appetite as Marvel’s most adorable super hero makes a mess in the kitchen!

Check out covers by Mike Mignola, Giuseppe Camuncoli, and Peach Momoko and preorder Spider-Man: Meals to Astonish #1 at your local comic shop today! And stay tuned in the coming weeks for another announcement for what’s next for Meals to Astonish and World Central Kitchen!
