Welcome to Comic Watch’s Kickstarter Korner!
It’s that time when we spotlight some projects that we hope you will support and help spread the word about these great indie titles and don’t forget to check out our previous posts to see if some of those campaigns are still running:
A Stormy Day with Badger & Vole: An Orcadian comic
A domestic love story about a badger and a vole living in Orkney with their cats, dogs, and sheep. And a lot of rain.
- Current Funding: $2,394
- Funding Goal: $602
- Days Left: 17
- Link: A Stormy Day with Badger & Vole: An Orcadian comic
A Stormy Day with Badger & Vole is set during the dark depths of an Orcadian winter, on a day where the rain comes horizontally and it’s much better to stay indoors and get cozy by the fire. Broken Frontier described Badger & Vole as a “domestic love story,” and this story continues very much in that manner, with the two strange fellows carrying on with their quiet and peaceful life, showing their love in so many small ways. Like the other Badger stories, there’s no text and no dialogue, just quietly spending time with two characters who live in their island home.
Junior
A deadbeat dad meets his now dead son in this new comic.
- Current Funding: $10,472
- Funding Goal: $10,000
- Days Left: 44
- Link: Junior
After death, a young man is doomed to work in the Netherworld post office under the tutelage of the post office manager, who just so happens to be the father he never knew on Earth. Junior is a limited comic book series that deeply explores the loss of my father to suicide when I was a year and a half old… set in a kooky Beetlejuice-esque afterlife.
That’s a wrap for this week from us, but if you are running Kickstarter and would like to be put in the Korner, drop us a line at micheal@comic-watch.com or chad@comic-watch.com, and we will take a look when we put together next week’s post.
