For fans of The Crow, Sandman, My Chemical Romance, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, gothic and supernatural coming of age stories.

The SUPERPOSITION Anthology is a collection of gothic and emotional short comics inspired by the band’s first and only album, SUPERPOSITION. Each story explores themes of lost identity, innocence, dreams, and the fragile sense of safety that comes with youth, told through supernatural, symbolic, and character-driven narratives.

The album was completed with band members Alex Devill and Kate Panik, but released after their passing, giving the music a deeper and more reflective meaning.

THE COSMIC HORROR, PSYCHIC PUNK TALE…For the first time ever, The Wormhole Club Tragedy is collected in its entirety!
Joe Shuster Award winning cartoonist (Gehenna: Death Valley), variant cover artist (Rebel Grrrls) and semi-retired colourist (The Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre) The Becka returns with The Wormhole Club Tragedy graphic novel, which collects issues 1-5 of the hit series, plus an additional 20 new pages of previously unreleased and unseen content!
Dr. Mateo Meyer’s patient, Todd, insists that the rumours on the internet are true—the young woman who died at The Wormhole club fire was murdered. Todd also swears that her murderer, Vorticia Vortex, has been stalking him ever since. Mateo investigates the internet’s mysterious creation, determined to get to the bottom of this Vortex madness that has taken over his patient’s mind.

What started the online rumours about the events at The Wormhole Club? The police have no idea how the fire started, or how the spontaneous human combustion happened. The evidence? Grainy, out of focus videos and photos of Vorticia, standing in the burning nightclub, while the victim burned to death outside. Anyone with common sense would think that this is an AI generated creation, but past events with similar patterns seem to be connected as well. Before he realizes it, Mateo gets caught up in the rabbit hole himself, and a shameful secret he’s hidden for decades resurfaces.

Meanwhile, other humans and beings watch the Vorticia phenomenon closely…

Love is Simple #1 – A NSFW Mythological Comedy

Link: Love is Simple #1 – A NSFW Mythological Comedy

In Greek, there’s seven different words for love, in English, only one. What if that’s not a quirk of linguistics? What if Aphrodite changed the meaning of Love to suit her means?

Love is Simple is a 5-part comic miniseries from the creative team behind the Ringo Award winning comic SMUT! This is our retelling of Greek Mythology as a supernatural erotic comedy, focusing on Aphrodite’s identity crisis after she (totally accidentally) caused the Trojan War, her friendship with Persephone, and the relationship drama (and tons of sex) she causes by trying to force love to be less complicated. Think Lore Olympus meets Sex Criminals.

In a contest between Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena, Paris was bribed by all three to judge them the most beautiful. Ultimately, he went with Aphrodite’s promise to bed the most beautiful woman in the world and, in doing so, triggered the Trojan War. Aphrodite would later describe kidnapping Helen of Troy as “a bit of a whoopsie.”

Struggling to reconcile her role as the Goddess of Love and her actions that led to mass slaughter, Aphrodite asks to her friend Persephone to help her get through this extraodinarly difficult time. After attempting to talk it out (and drinking a LOT of wine), Aphrodite decides that Love needs to be simple. No more jealousy, no more modesty, no more strife.

Welcome to the first issue of the greatest myth never told! Sex, war, yearning, and pomegranates run wild in this fun, sexy romp of a comic made by the best team in the game! This is Love is Simple!

Current Funding: $17,676

Days Left: 14

Following the success of “The Wonderverse Saga” Volume 1, our team has been diligently continuing the story of Phynnix’s fight against the domineering powers of the superheroes. Ratchta’s epic story continues the dark tale of Phynnix, a ‘subhuman’ born in an oppressive world where ‘superhumans’ born with special powers rule with an iron fist.

We acted on feedback we received from Volume 1 and changed the interior paper to a matte texture. This will better present the story with image clarity and a smoother tactile feel. In addition, we will mail all books directly from Singapore to utilize the reliable postal service and handling service.

Rachta’s 1st Edition printing of “The Wonderverse Saga” Volume 2, is a hardcover perfect-bound manga with over 100 meticulously hand-drawn pages of gripping adventures. Each of the 250 Collector’s Editions comes uniquely numbered # of 250. Once they’re gone, they’re gone forever.

Current Funding: $9,283
Funding Goal: $3,000
Days Left: X

Assassin Roommate is a comic about an unlikely pair of roommates who maybe experience love, arguments, and murdery things together.

Volume 2:

When you love someone and set them free, then crush on someone else in their absence because the person you loved can never return but then they DO … it’s complicated.

After sacrificing Kurt in order to save his life, Mags has moved on and is completely over him. Just kidding, now she’s hyper-fixating on avoiding love while investigating the agency that had kidnapped her. But once you keep poking that bear, eventually that bear is going to notice. Can she handle the repercussions of her actions? Oh and also her growing feelings for Jason?? In the meantime, Mags starts to delve deep into her family history, trying to unravel the complicated way she was raised. Jamie explores her own frought past via reconnecting with an old flame, who happens to be Mags’s new boss.

It goes without saying (I’m totally saying it anyway) that when you’re an assassin, you’re bound to have romance issues.

Volume 3:

Mags is moving up and away from her old life, now that she’s finally where she belongs as the next generation of family leadership at DAGDA. But her chosen family of Jamie, Kurt and Jason strongly disagree she’s there willingly, and are ready to risk any amount of pummeling while wearing fancy clothes in order to restore the Mags they knew.

But memories both past and present can be tricky to restore. What if the past you knew was untrue? Or the present is too murky to decipher? Or you’re still having issues remembering your ex-boyfriend now that your ex-ex-boyfriend is back and working on himself in such a sexy way??

My Name Is LADY issue #1-2

Laura and Lillian are back!

Current Funding: $804
Funding Goal: $1,500
Days Left: 8
This Kickstarter campaign is primarily focused on funding Issue #2, but Issue #1 is still available for readers who want to experience the beginning of Laura and Lillian’s story.
My Name Is Lady follows Laura, a young woman who has recently moved in with her 95-year-old grandmother, Lillian, after the passing of her grandfather. What starts as a practical decision quickly becomes something heavier. Laura steps into the role of caretaker—managing daily routines, offering companionship, and slowly realizes that caring for someone else can erase parts of yourself if you’re not careful.
As Laura settles into her grandmother’s home, she begins to uncover long-buried family secrets—truths Lillian never expected to share, and revelations that catch Laura completely off guard. The past refuses to stay quiet, especially in a world where superheroes exist and extraordinary lives often hide behind ordinary doors.
Set against a backdrop of superhuman figures and larger-than-life legends, My Name Is Lady is an intimate, grounded story about very human struggles. Its core themes are aging and loss of identity—what it means to grow old, to be remembered, and to redefine yourself when the roles you once held no longer fit.

No Heroine: Second Chances – The Complete Series

She fought her worst demons…now she’s fighting everyone else’s.

Current Funding: $2,710
Funding Goal: $3,500
Days Left: 10

Kayla Vasquez is a recovering heroin addict making amends the hard way: by slaying every demon, monster, and supernatural nightmare that crosses her path. She’s not doing it because she’s brave. She’s doing it because she owes the world one

Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Jessica Jones — punk rock, street level, and unflinching. No Heroine is a story about fighting demons. The real ones and the ones that don’t go away when the sun comes up.

By the end of Part 1, everything Kayla thought she knew has been blown open.

The missing witch? It’s Jordan — the very person she was hired to find. The investigation wasn’t leading her toward the villain. It was the villain.

And then, before she can even process that gut-punch — Mama comes back.

 

Kayla has been carrying her mother’s death like a wound that never closed. Grief, guilt, the kind of loss that doesn’t get easier — just quieter. And now, through a chain of events nobody planned and nobody’s prepared for, Mama is back. Accidentally resurrected. Very much real.

yla has to figure out what to do about Jordan — someone who is simultaneously a victim, a threat, and a person who deserves saving. She has to stop a witch who has gone fully off the rails. And she has to figure out what it means that her mother — the woman she’s been grieving, the ghost at the center of everything she’s been running from — is standing right in front of her.

Second chances. The title isn’t an accident.

Another 48 pages. More action. More mess. More Kayla doing the wrong things for the right reasons and somehow, maybe, finding her way through.

But she refuses to be silenced. With a sharp wit and a fiercer edge, CHINGONA carves her own path, leaving a trail of shattered expectations and unanswered questions in her wake. Join her on a heart-pounding, laugh-out-loud, music-fueled ride, where the stakes are high, the humor is dark, and the adventure is just beginning.
For too long, the stories of Latina superheroes have been relegated to the sidelines, their voices silenced, and their experiences marginalized. CHINGONA shatters this glass ceiling, offering a powerful narrative that reflects the resilience, strength, and complexity of Latino women. This story is a love letter to the mujeres who’ve been told they’re not enough, who’ve fought to be seen and heard in a world that often overlooks them. Through CHINGONA’s journey, we’ll explore themes of identity, family, and the unbreakable bonds of community, all set against the vibrant backdrop of Latin culture. By supporting this project, you’re helping to amplify a voice that’s long overdue – one that will inspire, uplift, and empower a generation of Latinas to reclaim their narratives and unleash their inner CHINGONA.
