It feels like it’s been forever, but I am back with the Kickstarter Round Up!
First up, The House of the Spirits by Tiana Camacho.
A comic adaptation of Isabel Allende’s classic work.
In 1920s Chile, an aloof clairvoyant girl named Clara De Valle is shown to have unnatural capabilities. From moving items with her mind or being able to tell when someone she knows will die, her abilities only add to her allure and mystery. After the loss of his previous fiancée and a request made by his mother on her deathbed, Esteban Trueba finds himself mysteriously drawn to the strange girl. Soon it will be revealed that his attraction was not mere coincidence, but rather her strange abilities calling out to him.
After that we have, For Molly #1–4 by Gabe Cheng which launches July 14th.
FOR MOLLY is an action packed modern fantasy adventure, set among the abandoned things in the New Jersey forest. An anti-social talking dog named Molly helps an outsider named Greg rescue his sister from a hidden evil. The complete, four chapter story is on Kickstarter now. The campaign also includes artwork by Benjamin Sawyer, Emma Kubert (DC Comics TEEN TITANS, Image Comics INKBLOT), Cathleen Abalos, Izzy Cheng, and Elisa Meneghel.
Written by Gabe Cheng with art by Benjamin Sawyer, FOR MOLLY is about trust, abandonment, and the type of bond that can only form between a human and a dog. It has feral gangs of talking dogs, rogue cops wielding swords, and dangerous human cultists living off-the-grid in the forest. But at the center are two characters with a lot of baggage that realize they need each other to survive.
There is also the super helpful, How to Webcomic by Starlia Prichard.
The ultimate guide to making online comics. (funded in just 3 hours!!)

And last, but not least, there is, Occult Crime Comic Book: Black Blizzard by Aaron Reese.
Crime syndicates and police reach an uneasy truce to stop an occult serial killer.
This story arc follows a team of investigators and hardened criminals as they work to unravel a series of brutal murders that are being committed with escalating savagery.
