The View from the Gutter
Sometimes, as I attempt to obviate some of the many and concerning peccadillos of Kickstarter Comics land, I feel I focus a little too much on the negative in the name of constructive criticism. When that self-conscious notion hits, I take the opportunity to flip the script and focus solely on the amazing comics being produced thanks to the existence of Kickstarter. So, check out these 5 projects that end within the next 3 days. Then, I’ve got 7 recommended comics for you from among the launches on Wednesday and Thursday of this past week.
And let’s selfishly begin with one I launched on July 6:
Amandatory is a 160+ page anthology of short comics (2-20 pages each), all illustrated by my partner and artist Amanda Rachels. The hardcover edition arrives autographed and with an interior remarque sketch. Less than 50 of these will ever be produced. Our campaign ends tomorrow evening at 8:00 p.m. Central time.
