We’re a little late but I’m back with our weekly Kickstarter Round Up for the second week of February.
We’re going to start off strong with, Beckett’s Last Mixtape by Tom Leveen.
A high school girl who’s lost everything decides to lose even more.
Beckett’s Last Mixtape follows the story of Beckett Montgomery, who is going to the party to give her former best friend a gift — after not talking to her for almost two years — before acting on an irrevocable decision she’s come to. If your only experience with comic books is Marvel or DC and superheroes, let me tell ya, they’ve come a long way! Comic books and graphic novels about real life, just like this one, are being used in classrooms and libraries all over the world. Just like with novels, there’s a comic book or graphic novel out there for everyone. So whether you were (or are) a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, or a criminal, I wrote this story for you.
Next there is a blast from the past with, Vampire Hunter D: Message from Mars by Kurt Rauer.
The full five-issue adaptation of “Message from Cecile.”
“Message from Mars” is the comic book adaptation of “Message from Cecile”, a Vampire Hunter D short story by series author Hideyuki Kikuchi, which was part of an audio book release in Japan and has never seen wide publication. This adaptation is the debut of the story in English. “Message from Mars” is told from the point of view of Cecile, one of the human colonists on Mars. We see the ascension of the Nobility in the aftermath of an apocalyptic war on earth and a part of the beginning of D’s journey as a vampire hunter.
There is also, Breakneck Fantasy Anthology #1 by Gerald Von Kahr.
Five action-packed comics from some of the best up-and-coming creators, across 32 pages of magic, muscle, murder, and mayhem
Five sword-swinging, magic-blasting shorts! BREAKNECK FANTASY ANTHOLOGY #1 brings some of the best and brightest creators together to showcase their talents and spin high-octane sword-and-sorcery short stories. Inside Issue 1 you will find: “When I Freeze Hell Over,” in which an ice witch charges down the path to conquer Hell; “Meat,” in which brotherly rivalry is brutal when it comes to Orcs; “Jack & Beans,” in which the legendary hero must find the Dragonstone before the amateur adventurer annoys him to death; “Tale of Zarron,” in which a young prince relives the downfall of his royal family; and “Krypt Sisters,” in which monster hunting is a family affair.
There is also the super cute, Mossvale by Travis Wells.
The first issue of a 25 page comic for ages 7 and up!
In the land of Mossvale, Nigel Hoo has discovered an ancient scroll that reveals the location of a long forgotten artifact. With the hired help of Sir Lucius, Nigel delves deep underground, only to discover that the artifact is anything but forgotten. It is tied to an evil plot that has been growing in the shadowy places of Mossvale.
And lastly, for the art lovers, Monday Night Draw Season One Art Book by David Finch.
Begun as a means to connect with fans during the early stages of the COVID-19 lockdowns, Monday Night Draw with Meredith & Dave quickly took on a life of its own. Episodes feature legendary comic book artist David Finch drawing and inking a new character each week. Dave’s wife, comic book writer Meredith Finch hosts the program, reading fan comments and generally driving Dave nuts. The Monday Night Draw: Season One Art Book allows fans to take home the great artwork created during the first season of the show.
Be sure to check back next week to see what else the Kickstarter Round Up has to offer!
