And I’m back! Today’s Kickstarter Round Up is truly fun.
We’re starting off with a Kickstarter Featured project: La Muerta #1: Onslaught by Brian Pulido.
La Muerta is the story of Maria Diaz, a US soldier returning from a tour of duty in Afghanistan to be reunited with her family on Dia de los Muertos, the Mexican Day of the Dead. Unfortunately, her brother has fallen in with the Zavalas, a death-worshipping crime cartel led by the nefarious Mama Z. When the Zavalas see Maria’s family celebrating, they believe they’ve been ripped off. Her entire family is murdered in cold blood. Now Maria stalks the streets as La Muerta, seeking vengeance against the criminal underworld.
Next we have, Haunting / Like Father, Like Daughter crossover by Kat Calamia and Phil Falco which launched today.
Zombies, ghosts, and powers: Superheroes meet the Supernatural in this 44-page crossover.
Bram is a bratty teenager who just wants to be left alone. Too bad wherever he goes, the dead rise! Casey is a high school student whose father abandoned her to become a full-time superhero. She’s finally forced to grapple with her complicated feelings towards him when she inherits his superpowers! In this new crossover, their worlds collide!
There is also, Carbon & Silicon and Shangri-La by Mathieu Bablet which launches tomorrow, May 25th.
Two science-fiction tales from the celebrated, visionary graphic novelist.
Widely recognized for their excellence, Shangri-La was selected for the Fauve d’Or Award for Best Graphic Novel at the Angouleme International Comic Festival in 2017, and Carbon & Silicon won the 2017 FNAC prize for Best Graphic Novel of 2020. We are thrilled to offer both phenomenal books in premium, oversized hardcover editions, along with an exclusive, sophisticated slipcase set.
And last but certainty not least, there is Painter by Łukasz Godlewski. (this is the one that speaks to me the most.)
Inherited curses, primeval alien civilisations, foul gods, art and madness in this Lovecraftian graphic novel set in northern Poland.
Konrad Ostawsen, an artist on the verge of depression, is drawn out of his stagnation by the news of an inheritance from his long-lost father. The discovery takes him into a different world presenting completely new challenges: secluded community, distant island with hidden ancient secrets…
*Stayed tuned next Monday for the next in our weekly posts on Kickstarter campaigns.
