"A twelve-year-old boy teams up with the meanest outlaw in the Old West to exact revenge on the gang that murdered his family in cold blood. The outlaw has his own reasons for wanting the gang dead, and as they pursue the killers deeper into the desert, the boy must decide who’s the greater threat to his soul—the merciless gang he pursues or the outlaw he rides with?"

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."

Help this project get funded. It's pretty close to its goal!
"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!"

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."
