Kickstarter isn’t the only place indie creators go to fund their projects, and we here at Comic Watch want to highlight and support those projects across the various platforms.

We especially want to spotlight those projects that still need a push along with those stretch goals.

Below is a brief synopsis of the project; for more details and to support the projects, click on the link to the campaign page.

Previously featured campaigns still running:

 

MurderF*cker: Flesh, Blood & Metal

by Marco Fontanili

Current Funding:  $1,488
Funding Goal: $4,000
Days Left: 00
Link: MurderF*cker: Flesh, Blood & Metal by Marco Fontanili

A metalhead guy buys the latest cassette tape of the legendary band “MURDERFUCKER.” Once he presses the “play” button, however, something bizarre happens.

Our protagonist has a very special ability – he lives the music he listens to in a much deeper and visceral way than the masses. In fact, according to the musical genre that he absorbs through his earphones, he is able to transform himself into various monstrous creatures, each of them endowed with special powers and characteristics. MurderFucker is the first of these transformations. Derived from Death Metal, this entity possesses a superhuman strength, combat skills beyond all human understanding and a rather particular “hunger”.

Thus begins a crazy adventure of hyper-muscle, toxic masculinity, mutant zombies and destruction. What better to ask for?

For fans of: Cannibal Corpse, Peter Jackson’s “Braindead”, Fist of the North Star, Army of Darkness, Thrash/Death Metal

Tart 15 – Deal With the Devil

A demonic serial killer is loose. Tart Acid must stop it. Can she succeed without help from a member of the ruling family of Hell?

Current Funding:  $0
Funding Goal: $00
Days Left: 00
Link: Tart 15 – Deal With the Devil 

Whether you are new to our series or have backed every issue, we invite you to join us on the next leg of our journey: Tart 15.

This next adventure takes place over 24 pages, beginning with Tart Acid tracking a serial killer down the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. But if this was an ordinary evil, Tart wouldn’t be on the case.

Knowing she is in a race against time before the demon strikes again, Tart entertains an offer to team up with an unlikely source. A member of the First Family of Hell.

Tart Acid is approached by Prince Pitchfork, sixth son of Hell, with an offer she can’t tell if she should refuse.  Fork gives her the option to continue on her own, a road she has traveled so far with only dead victims to report. Or join him and hopefully corral this wayward demon earlier.
