THIS WEEK IN KICKSTARTER COMICS (11/15/21)

 

There's no shortage of great Kickstarter campaigns to choose from every week. These are just some interesting comics looking for funding that deserve a closer look. These are established talents with some noteworthy offerings. Again, crowdfunding allows for more control and creative freedom for creators to cater directly to readers. Take a look at these and more at Kickstarter to find a comic that appeals to you. 


Foulbrood 1&2 by Christopher Sebela & Claire Roe

A rural crime odyssey of four worlds drawn together by bees, crime, and bee crimes.


Beekeeping is a cutthroat industry. When low-rent thief DC Cole makes off with Jolene Witherspoon's entire supply of beehives, she'll have to scour the farms, apiaries, and secret networks of rural California to track him and her bees down. With nothing to go on and a mean temper mixed with desperation, Jolene's crusade will push a rural crime family and its psychopathic soldiers into action to protect their interests and put a pair of bored Agricultural Task Force cops up against something way scarier than stolen tractor parts. These stories will all intersect in violent, amusing, and bloody ways in a world where everyone is trying to get rich, get out, or get their bees back.

Softymetal by Kyacchan



A science fiction/slice-of-life story.


Softymetal narrates the daily life of Martha, a stoic mechanic, and Jasper, her sunny robotic assistant found by her close to being scrapped and apparently without memory. In a world where robots and androids are widespread almost everywhere, Martha has always had a more emphatic point of view towards them, and never saw them as everyday objects or mere tools. Spontaneously following her mom's steps, she specialized in fixing them. Page after page, they'll spend their days fixing stuff in the workshop, in the living room reading books, on the roofs talking about anything and more, getting through life in its quieter and hardest moments, together.
