Check Out These New Comic Kickstarters
I’ve got here a list of Kickstarters focused on comics. There are quite a few here and so I’m not going to give all of them the spotlight, but one that really caught my eye is Death Transit Tanager by Karl Kerschl. I saw the art and instantly got Samus vibes and was intrigued. It sounds like a pretty cool comic. Also, it’s important to note that Rise of Izta launched this week and is already almost over, so hurry if you like that one. Which of these projects are you most interested in and what other projects should we check out? Let us know in the comments below.

Impossible Jones & American A.N.G.E.L.
Karl Kesel
54+ page, full-throttle finale to the IMPOSSIBLE TEAM-UP story arc.
The fourth and final team-up book! In a story so big it needs EVERYBODY. Who’s the Big Bad? Certainly not Krampus. Holly’s onetime mentor is a single-minded, sadistic anti-Santa intent on spreading misery, but his only “power” is a razor-barbed whip. It’s not like he found a source of unlimited — uh-oh.
Steven Ingram
A 100-page "modern folk horror" graphic novel.
Burn With Me is a 100-page "modern folk horror" graphic novel about Jessica Bailey, a woman who is returning to her home town after spending twelve years in prison for the horrific crime she committed at fourteen years old. With her father falling apart and the townspeople hostile towards her, Jessica seeks out her friend Helen from the Old Manor House who would never, ever abandon her... The story deals with themes of coercive control, misguided beliefs, and toxic friendships.

Caleb Henshaw
Art's life may be over, but the party is just getting started.

That is, until he suddenly dies and is whisked away to the Interzone — a chaotic city of the dead — and his entire existence is turned upside-down. Initially wanting to escape back to the world of the living as a ghost, Art finds an unlikely friend in Randy, a loud-mouthed drunken skeleton. Together, they embark on crazy night filled with booze, dead celebrities, and dangerous bug gangsters. With Randy's help, Art learns that being dead may not be so bad after all! But will he choose to stay in the Interzone or return to the land of the living?
Karl Kerschl
A young woman with a strange gift travels the galaxy to help lost souls find their way home in this new sci-fi comic series.
Tanager Ray can speak to the dead. One of a handful of young women who have this strange ability, she works as a Death Transit — a ferryman for lost souls stuck between here and the afterlife. Inspired by Metroid and Hellboy and a LOT of manga and anime, each issue of Death Transit Tanager is a murder mystery in space, filled with creeping dread and kinetic sci-fi action! The stand-alone feature story follows Tanager on the job as she tracks down an old asteroid miner's body, while the all-new Past Lives colour backup story delves into her past — who was she before she became a Death Transit?
Fractured Realms: A Norse Horror Anthology

Twenty-four short horror comics exploring Nordic gods and monsters, and the end of the world.
The darkest nights of Fimbulwinter are upon us, Ragnarok isn't far behind, and the Nine Realms are falling... welcome to Fractured Realms, the new anthology from Limit Break Comics.

Kisha: Demon Eater Vol.1 in Full Color
Newton Lilavois

Ancient African demon king, Kishi, has hundreds of demon sons, but one day he fathers his first and only daughter: Kisha. Kishi distains his daughter.

Hellbound Media
Blood. Death. Pigs. Grindhouse horror graphic novel.
Slaughterhouse Farm is a blood-soaked love letter to the grindhouse horror classics of the ’70s and ’80s. The horror of The Hills Have Eyes or Texas Chain Saw Massacre relocated to the isolated mountains of North Wales. There is tongue-in-cheek humour and a mysterious plot to be uncovered — but this comic is still as nasty as hell, with decapitations, impalement's and dismemberment's to keep gore hounds satisfied. The story begins with Frankie and Julian taking a minibus full of troubled teens for a weekend in Snowdonia — but horror is literally waiting round the bend in the twisted form of Pigfucker!
Vesper & Onion: A Forager's Story
Vera Greentea & Sarah Webb
A comic about a witch and her familiar searching for a rare mushroom.
Vesper is a young witch apprenticing to the Grand Witches of Castagno as a Forager, a seeker of hard-to-find ingredients for magical spells. Along with her expressive cat familiar, Onion, she is tasked to find a rare, dangerous mushroom in the Sacred Woods of Chanticleer. If you enjoy warm and cozy adventures in the likes of Kiki's Delivery Service, you will like this cup of tea.
