True Believers: A Horror Cosplay Comic Book

What an original premise! This book mashes together cosplay and slashers just in time for Spooky Season. 

"The first issue of TRUE BELIEVERS introduces a new bone-chilling slasher character, Killr™, who offers a sinister and unforgettable take on fandom. In the world of meta horror, Killr™ emerges as the embodiment of evil within the slasher genre, born from a cult-favorite short film that inspires a trilogy."

I love seeing genres that are usually high concept find its grounded elements, and Rovers is that in a nutshell. 

"ROVERS: Congregation is a full-color 32 page high-fantasy adventure story following a group of outcasts, exiles, and felons making their way to a distant dream, hoping for a better tomorrow. Think Firefly, in the time of the Fellowship."

TERRITORY Issues #1-4 - A Post Apocalyptic Kaiju Epic!

"TERRITORY is a 22 page post-apocalyptic kaiju story set in a far distant Pacific Northwest of the United States. Ancestors tell the story of how civilization was wiped from the earth in nuclear fire long ago. From the ashes of the destruction rose the Behemoths, giant creatures whose presence breathed life back into the land. The surviving people now live in tribes, worshiping the Behemoths as gods!"

Thank you so much for your support on your project. We're less than $1K from funding in a 48 hour span!

Right off the bat, Unstoppable Comics had to sadly back out of the indie bundle. So, Shield of the Interceptor #1 will no longer be part of the bundle, but don't worry there are plenty more indie comics available as part of our stretch goals and backer goals.

Hospice: No Freedom In Texas

I love the concept of this book! There are other one-shots on the platform all connecting the "hospice" theme from other wonderful Kickstarter creators. What a fun way to get the Kickstarter community rallied together. 

"Hospice is an experiment, an event, and a  shared universe of stories all rolled into one. We have partnered with Kickstarter creators Frank Martin, Jamie Primack, Russell Nohelty, David Byrne, and Michael Watson to launch a series of stories all featuring the Rising Suns Hospice brand. Each story is standalone and has the unique style and flair of their respective creators. All six projects will be launching on Kickstarter over the course of the month."
