More Kickstarters
Finally, check out these awesome comic Kickstarters!
Actor Martin Kove (Sensei Kreese from Cobra Kai & Karate Kid) launches his very first comic book right here on Kickstarter.
A twelve-year-old boy teams up with the meanest outlaw in the Old West to exact revenge on the gang that murdered his family in cold blood. The outlaw has his own reasons for wanting the gang dead, and as they pursue the killers deeper into the desert, the boy must decide who’s the greater threat to his soul—the merciless gang he pursues or the outlaw he rides with?
A comprehensive, 240-page guide to building a career in comics from Comics Connection's Gamal Hennessy. If you want to hire and work with freelance creators, this book will help you understand the motivations and stress that are inherent in being a modern-day artistic nomad. Hopefully, this book can help improve the working conditions on both sides and improve the business of comics as a whole.

This collectively adds another six comics to the Indie Comic Book Bundle that all backers will receive for supporting this project - bringing the total number of digital comics in the bundle to TWELVEBOOKS!
Next Stretch Goal!
We recently put out a Census Questionnaire to our previous Kickstarter supporters asking for feedback on our content. And one of the most popular answers we got is that folks want to see more of the creative process behind our books! So with that in mind, we're excited to announce our next Stretch Goal:
$9,500 - Audio Commentary + Behind-the-Scenes!
If our next Stretch Goal is unlocked, all backers will get an AudioCommentary by HAUNTING creator, Phil Falco, talking about the creation of this issue in detail.

"A beautiful pirate rescues a mysterious stranger from the hangman's noose in this erotic 18+ adventure."
From Laurie Foster and Laguna Studios comes Hearteater #1! We absolutely love everything Laurie does for the indie comic community, and all of the content she puts out. Marry that with a sexy pirate adventure? Easy sell. Hearteater #1 looks like exactly the kind of swashbuckling adventure that we love - and has five beautiful cover variants available.

More Kickstarters
Finally, let's recommend some more Kickstarters you should check out!
Frankenstein's monster thaws from the ice 500 years in the future to find a bombed out apocalypse as hideous and broken as he is. A comic all about violence as a mode of survival, the destructive inertia of revenge, and how toxicmasculinity damages individuals and the environment around them. It's a love letter to pulpy adventure comics and films like ConantheBarbarian and MadMax as well as Universal Horror Monsters and the literature that inspired them.
The floofy finale! A mysterious ingredient brings a young baker's breads to life -- as mischievous cats! A litter of cat-like creatures are magically born from the confections a middle schooler cooks up. Some are sweet, some are salty -- and the worst of the bunch has nasty plans to change the world!
