almost 3 years ago – Fri, Jun 04, 2021 at 10:03:59 AM

Before we jump into the Add-On spotlight, Phil and Kat are going to be on Kat's YouTube channel for a Q&A tonight at 9 PM EST - ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS about making comics and taking a deep dive into all their projects. YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT!

Add Ons - The Dancer

Are you a fan of Like Father, Like Daughter? Well, then check out Kat's other comic book - They Call Her...The Dancer.

"A dancer/ASSASSIN is forced to deal with her childhood trauma of witnessing her parents' deaths."

Add The Dancer #1 in color for $5 and/or add The Dancer LIMITED Black & White edition for only $10. Might I add, the Black & White version is ALL in B&W - including the interiors. Once we run out of Black & White copies, we won't be printing any more. So grab them while we still have them!



Other Kickstarts To Back

The Deadliest Bouquet

We've been excited for this book since it was announced on social media, and can't wait to get the book in our hands.

"In 1998, three estranged sisters trained by their Nazi-hunting mother come together to solve their mom's murder…and try not to kill each other in the process. Rose, Poppy, and Violet Hawthorn had an unusual upbringing. Their mother, Jasmine, was the daughter of Nazi hunters and indoctrinated into La Résistance after WW2. After moving to the United States, Jasmine settled down and had three daughters, but her hard-lived past caught up with her.

The Deadliest Bouquet explores the relationships these sisters have with each other and their complicated bond with their mother. Can Rose, Poppy, and Violet put their resentment aside to find Jasmine's killer? This is a family of secrets…and they're all about to be laid bare."

The 13th Labor

The artwork looks gorgeous for this book,  and we were totally reeled in by the unique concept.

"The story of Hercules and his 12 Labors is one most casual fans of mythology are familiar with. What is less familiar to most is the story of his greatest labor. A labor that rips Hercules thousands of years into the future, where his bloodline is at its end and the fate of Earth lies in the hands of his final descendant."

PRIDE 2021: Slice of Life
almost 3 years ago – Tue, Jun 01, 2021 at 08:59:18 AM

A little over a week in, and HAUNTING/LFLD #1 is at 82% funding with 298 backers! That means that we're only two backers away from unlocking our first Backer Goal!

Once we hit 300 backers, we'll be adding Darren Close's Killeroo: Scars to the Indie Comic Book Bundle! That will bring the Indie Bundle up to 10 Comics!

We plan to announce even more Backer Goals soon that will expand the Indie Comic Book Bundle even further, so stay tuned!


Slice of Life

Kat and Phil, writers of the HAUNTING/LFLD Crossover, are excited to kick off Pride Month 2021 by announcing our next collaboration project: Slice of Life.

When gritty anime protagonist, Lady Vengeance, is brought to the real world, she learns there's more to life than darkness and revenge...and finds love with a kind-hearted high school cheerleader.

"Slice of Life" cover by Interior Artist, Valeria Peri

Slice of Life is an upcoming webcomic that will release weekly onWEBTOON and Tapas starting Monday, July 12th.

But backers of HAUNTING/LFLD won't need to wait that long to read! If you're a backer of this Kickstarter AT ANY TIER LEVEL, you will get an EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEK at Episodes 1 and 2 BEFORE ANYONE ELSE.

Slice of Life probably wouldn't exist if Kat and Phil didn't have such a great time writing this Crossover together, so we thought it was only fitting that backers of HAUNTING/LFLD be the first to get to see Episodes 1-2 🏳️‍🌈!

The Teaser for Slice of Life is already up on WEBTOON and Tapas, so go check it out now! And please consider Liking and Subscribing! It helps immensely!

PBOW: World War Bitch #1-2

Created by our good friend, Clay Adams, PBOW is a Grindhouse Action Comedy sequel to the cult hit first installment.

"Plucked from the time-stream by mad scientist Nikola Tesla, six pregnant women accidentally kill a young Hitler -- and unleash a nightmare future! Now, hunted by the Exalted Father, and with Tesla acting as Charlie to their Angels, they must save the world from a hell of their own creation... before their water breaks!"

Sacrifice #1

Described as Hellboy meets Evil Dead. A comic with demon fighting, monsters transforming, and splashes of comedy.

When Damien Blackwell was an infant, a cult known as the Dark Order performed a ritual that tied his soul to Lucifer. They planned to sacrifice him to summon Lucifer to our world. Before the sacrifice could be completed, angels intervened and prevented the ceremony from being completed, but they were too late. Whenever and however Damien dies, it will lead to the summoning of Lucifer. The fate of the world lies in Damien's hands, whose actions and life could determine when the world comes to an end."

We'll be back next week with another update! Have a great weekend, all!

Miskatonic High #1-11

We're up to Issue 11 of Miskatonic High, the comic series about the students who take on H.P. Lovecraft-style monsters and their small-town high school...they're just not sure which is worse.

It's amazing to see a series fund so consistently on Kickstarter and reach 11 issues in such a short time! Kat and I are big fans, so we recommend everyone check it out!

"In issue #11, the gang gets sucked back to the ancient, uncivilized time period known as the 1990s. No smartphones and only dial-up internet...how will they ever survive!?! But something in the time stream is stalking them and if they don’t figure out why, they’ll soon be nothing but shadows out of time."

The campaign ends TOMORROW, so definitely check it out ASAP!


Damsel from D.I.S.T.R.E.S.S. #1-3

A fantasy espionage series described as D&D meets The Man From U.N.C.L.E.!

Speechless
almost 3 years ago – Mon, May 24, 2021 at 04:25:13 PM

I don't think there are enough "Surprised" reactions in the world to communicate just how SPEECHLESS we are.

The HAUNTING/Like Father, Like Daughter #1 Crossover is off to an AMAZING start!

This campaign has CRUSHED both Kat's and my previous Day 1 records, both for Funding and Backer totals! In just 8 hours, we're already 44% funded with 159 backers!

So let us take a moment to say THANK YOU for supporting Indie Comics. We truly could not do any of this without all of you, so thank you for making all of this possible!

And if you know anything about Kat and myself, then you know that we don't plan to slow things down anytime soon! We've got tons of fun rewards, announcements, surprises, and reveals coming up over the next month! So keep checking out these updates to find out what else we have in store for you!


More Kickstarters!

Let's kick off our first update by sharing the love! Here are three more Kickstarters that are live right now!



Pneumatic Cases #1-4: Sleuthing Steampunk Spouses

This one is brought to you by our good friend -- and letterer for the HAUNTING/Like Father, Like Daughter Crossover -- Brant Fowler!

"Lord and Lady Ravenscroft are two brilliant scientists and inventors whose Bohemian lifestyle and inventive ways are in direct contrast to the staid and proper ways of Victorian Era London.Served faithfully by their steam-driven metallic Majordomo, Pneuman, and armed with a variety of elaborate self-created inventions, the Ravenscroft's pursue the one vocation that brings excitement into their world... solving murders!"


Legendary Lands: Wonderland and Neverland Jigsaw Puzzles

Also coming from Brant and kicking off his game creator/publisher, Torch Knight Games, we have the Legendary Lands Jigsaw Puzzles!

"Both designs began with Lisa and Brant brainstorming some of the more iconic scenes or characters from Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan.  [They] went back and forth picking out the things [they] most remember from the stories...[until they] arrived at these gorgeously detailed, lush collage-style puzzles featuring the most iconic scenes and much-loved characters from Wonderland and Neverland."


Spider-Squirrel #1 - A Buddy-Hero Multiversal Adventure!

And if you want even more Indie Crossover goodness, make sure to check out Charlie McElvy's Spider-Squirrel #1! You'll get to see "a whole cadre of indie comicbook creators pitched in and provided some fun interstitial adventures that include their respective heroes!

"Spider-Squirrel and Trash Panda get into all sorts of seemingly random hijinks right out the gate. Well, right after dealing with some dating issues and checking out a local night clubTime travel. Multi-dimensional adventures. Girl troubles. Misunderstood villains. Villains who are just bad. All wrapped in an air of fun, sometimes funny, character moments and calamity."

That's all for now! We'll be back in a few days with our next update! Thank you again for backing and for supporting Indie Comics!
