THIS WEEK IN KICKSTARTER COMICS (6/20/22)

We're back with some more Kickstarter campaigns that rock! Check out these creative and diverse offerings from some seasoned crowdfunding creators. 




Bi Visibility: Still Bi by Kat Calamia – launching 6/20

Twitter: @ComicUno




A 90-page graphic novel anthology all about bisexuality, with genres including romance, sci-fi, vampires, superheroes, and reality TV!

After the smash hit that was Bi Visibility #1, we're back with a double-sized follow-up! Bi Visibility: Still Bi is a 90-page graphic novel that collects sixteen brand-new stories all about bisexuality! As a bisexual creator, this is one of the most important projects I've ever worked on and a subject near and dear to my heart. Growing up, I had very little bisexual representation. I knew the label existed, but I didn't know what it looked like, how it felt, or that I could be bisexual. This was the driving force towards putting together this anthology. Representation matters!



A La Brava: Latina Superhero Team by Kayden Phoenix

The 1st Latina Superhero Team in history!


The A LA BRAVA team is finally together! Jalisco. Santa. Loquita. Ruca. and Bandita. The superheroes are brought together by Muneca, an eager agent wanting to prove herself and her newfound grassroots organization. When the controversial Fair Share Bill, a bill to tax the billionaires, gets presented to Congress, females in political powers mysteriously start dying. The media labels it as freak accidental deaths but Muneca has her suspicions as to who's behind it all. So she bands the superheroes together and has them stake out the possible suspects: billionaires.

Twitter: @CloakroomComics; @benogrady @TamingtheMuse; @SkyePatridge; 





A multi-genre anthology by creators in Scott Snyder's 2021–2022 inaugural comics writing class.


What does a jacket bring to mind for you? The lingering memories of a missed loved one? A channel for inconceivable powers? Desperate actions to find comfort on a cold winter's night? A trigger that sets a mystery in motion? In a nod to Scott Snyder’s Best Jackett Press studio, Tales from the Cloakroom’s 20 writers have crafted stories with a jacket as a prompt, but they have otherwise had free rein to bring their creations to life. As a result, Tales from the Cloakroom explores a multitude of genres, so there's truly something for every comic reader. The anthology contains is also committed to uplifting emerging voices and underrepresented communities: over 50% of creators are 2SLGBTQIA+, women, BIPOC, and/or differently-abled.

Score: ★★★★1/2 (4.5/5) There are certain comic book creators whose books I'll pick up without hesitation. One of those creators is Jeff Lemire. He instills confidence knowing that his stories will be thoughtful and engaging. You add a talented artist like Dustin Nguyen on another collaborative effort and well, 'Little Monsters,' is a must-buy. I know, shocking.   They team up again with an intriguing post-apocalyptic vampire tale featuring "the last children on Earth" who've been left to their own devices among the ruin...
