Check out these new comic Kickstarters

I have a list of comic-focused Kickstarters here. There are quite a few here and so I won’t give them all the spotlight, but one that really caught my eye is Death Transit Tanager Of Carl Kerschl. I saw the art and immediately got the Samus vibes and was intrigued. Sounds like a pretty cool comic. Also, it’s important to note that Rise of Izta launched this week and is already almost finished, so hurry if you like it. 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 ANGEL

  • Charles Kesel

Over 54 pages, full throttle finale of the IMPOSSIBLE TEAM-UP story arc.

The fourth and final group book! In such a big story, it needs EVERYONE. Who is the big bad? Certainly not the Krampus. Holly’s former mentor is a sadistic and adamant anti-Santa bent on spreading misery, but his only “power” is a razor-sharp whip. It’s not like he’s found an unlimited source of… uh-oh.

• Slaughterhouse farm

  • Hellish media

Blood. Death. Pigs. Graphic novel horror Grindhouse.

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 has been transferred to the isolated mountains of North Wales. There’s wry humor and a mysterious plot to uncover, but this comic is still bad as hell, with decapitations, impalements, and dismemberments to keep the bloodhounds satisfied. The story begins with Frankie and Julian taking a minibus full of troubled teenagers for a weekend away to Snowdonia, but horror is literally waiting just around the corner in the twisted form of Pigfucker!
