Previously featured, fully funded Kickstarters Worth A Look and Support:

Denis Kitchen has been taking on the establishment for decades. Now the all-new documentary Oddly Compelling highlights Kitchen’s long, strange trip — from his early days as a hippie cartoonist, to his thirty years as one of the most important independent comic book publishers and his work as a fierce advocate for the First Amendment.

Filmmakers Soren Christiansen and Ted Intorcio have captured hours of in-depth, candid conversations with Denis Kitchen, as well as fellow cartoonists and colleagues including Alison Bechdel, Warren Bernard, Eddie Campbell, Paul Gravett, Karen Green, Justin Hall, Gary Hallgren,Tom Heintjes, MariNaomi, Peter Poplaski, Carol Tyler, and the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund’s Interim Director Jeff Trexler. The film also features rare archival footage of comic book legends Robert Crumb, Will Eisner, and Harvey Kurtzman, along with new animation of Kitchen’s iconic cartooning. The film charts Kitchen’s career — as an indie cartoonist, a provocateur and publisher, and founder of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.

The story of a boy who discovers a haunted, medieval suit of armor and must team up with its ghostly knight to defeat the evil entity that killed his adoptive brother.
Two years ago, Andy Taylor’s life was turned upside down when his parents vanished without a trace. Now, at thirteen, he’s adopted by a quirky but kindhearted couple, still grieving the mysterious death of their own son, Myles. Obsessed with the unexplained, Andy decides to investigate Myles’s death himself. His search leads him to a hidden underground crypt, beneath a ruined castle, where he discovers a 13th-century suit of armor imbued with mystical power.

But there’s a catch! The armor is haunted by the ghost of Sir William, the knight who wore it centuries ago! Now, with the hilariously out-of-time Sir William as his spectral mentor, Andy must learn to harness the armor’s power, defeat the monstrous force that took Myles’s life, and uncover the dark secret behind its summoning!

ARMORED was one of 2024’s surprise hits, with multiple issues selling out at distribution and earning spots on numerous “Best of the Year” lists across comic outlets. This hardcover brings together the entire first volume of the breakout indie series, plus the 10-page bonus story originally featured in the rare half-issue from WIZARDS The Podcast Guide to Comics.

For over a century, the world has only seen a fraction of OZ. You know the yellow brick road, the Emerald City, and Dorothy’s journey — but that’s a small sliver of what truly lies beyond.

Welcome to The Ultimate OZ Universe: The Lost Lands— a bold, breathtaking expansion of L. Frank Baum’s timeless world, reimagined by some of today’s greatest storytellers.

Acclaimed writer Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, The Sixth Gun) alongside OZ enthusiast and producer Larry King, legendary artist Mike Deodato, Jr. (Expecting the Unexpected, Avengers), and the visionary teams at AWA Studios, Shaggyman Productions, and Alchemation, have come together to craft a gripping, vast, and unexpected OZ adventure.

Overseen by a team of top OZ historians, this saga stays true to Baum’s vision while exploring uncharted regions, new characters, and thrilling lore.

This limited 144+ page hardcover collectible’s edition is your gateway to a rarely-explored side of OZ — one oozing with whimsical magic, much like the story we all know and love, but bringing about the more mysterious secrets long buried in the sands of time.

Richard Fairgray, creator of BLACK SAND BEACH, is finally back to writing horror comics, and not just funny ones with people eating corn while they poop. This is a deeply unsettling story about being lost in the woods and the illusion of safety offered by a fire.

You arrive at a camp fire. Everyone else is already there. Stories have already been told, stories you’ll never find out. All eyes are on you. What story do you have to tell?

• A girl left behind in a subway station with no stairs. The only way out is down the tracks.
• A camp counsellor with a gaping head wound, just trying to wake someone up.
• A child who knows that the monsters only told us the dark was scary so we’d run to a place where they could see us.

This is a story about community, about finding friends in the darkness, about the oldest of human traditions. We are, after all, storytelling creatures.

Layer after layer of story unfolds, all centred on a bright light that draws us in. All centred around a camp fire. Maybe the only camp fire.
