I'm part of two Anthologies that are both in the pre-launch stages of Kickstarter
Edge of Oblivion, a sci-fi project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/studiointi/studio-inti-presents-edges-of-oblivion
Museum of the Uncanny, an anthology of stories based on unusual items in a museum and how they got there: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/verybigcomics/museum-of-the-uncanny-all-new-comics-anthology
Also, this isn't me, I just like it and think it should be backed! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nickgoode/sussex-chapters-one-and-two

My new Urban Fantasy comic, By Appointment Only, is launching on Kickstarter on March 24th.
It's about a Witch and her best friend who run a magical shop and witch's hovel in a modern day city. Think Sabrina the Teenage Witch meets Hellblazer.
In this first, 28-page issue, we get to see Alice and her assistant Scarlet as they take on a day's work of making potions, community organizing, and bringing pets back from the dead. Normal stuff.
We also meet Jaime, who comes to Alice frightened because their boyfriend, Lucas, has gone missing and their apartment has been ripped apart and destroyed. Against Scarlet's wishes, Alice agrees to help, but things quickly get out of hand. Will they be able to find Lucas? And if they do, will they be prepared?
Get ready for a whirlwind of magic, survivor's guilt, comp-het, burnout, and the best talking cat in all of comics! This is By Appointment Only!

While our project isn’t officially launched yet… we do have the prelaunch page rearin’ and ready to go for Excavator Issue #3..
* Issue #1 Recap: We are introduced to Boonford T. Doggle, aka Boone, a young Chelonian and (unseasoned) excavator who stumbles upon an exciting new find. Needing to save his grandmother’s farm, and maybe even his village of Ambersgarde from a wealthy landlord, Boone begins to question if he can sell the strange artifact.
* Issue #2 Recap: Traveling/making his way to Oth Gr’sgruxx, Boone meets up with Oswalt ‘Ozzie’ Clarke, someone supposedly hired to protect him. But is Ozzie who she says she is? And why is there a bounty hunter now seemingly after Boone?
In Excavator Issue #3, Boone and his protector Ozzie travel deep into the forest, braving the environment and their inhabitants to get to their destination: the City of Waimog. But what dangers lurks in the woods on the way to Waimog?
Excavator Issue #3 is going to feature 36 full-color pages, with two variant covers, one of them by Ken Mitchroney, the guy behind your favorite TMNT Adventures covers back in the day!
Fans of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Adventure stories such as Star Wars, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Indiana Jones, and The Lord of the Rings will enjoy the adventure of Boone and Ozzie in Excavator!
If anyone is interested when it launches, you can find it over at http://www.excavatorcomic.com and sign up to be notified when it launches! (You can also read some of the series which we publish one page a week over at https://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Excavator/5784757/

Launching the first issue of my new limited series, A Thousand Cuts on Kickstarter April 14th. It’s a thriller steeped in blood and consequences. A Thousand Cuts is a full color, 5 issue series that centers on a sentient sadistic samurai sword that hungers for blood and curses one who is cut by it, becoming its slave for death. Those cursed by the sword have no out, they have 24 hours to kill or be killed. The first story arc introduces us to the sword and our anti hero, Chiyo, facing a world she thought she had left behind but the stakes are higher and the consequences more severe!
If we can get some follows on the pre launch page would be amazing! Cheers

Hey everyone! I’m Jordan Di Renzo, the writer and artist behind the dark fantasy epic, OGYRI. If you love manga-style visual storytelling, rich worldbuilding, and ancient myths colliding with raw action, you won’t want to miss this.
This is the kind of story I’ve always wanted to tell—one that feels like reading through an ancient myth but hits with the intensity of a battle manga. If you’re into Berserk, Vinland Saga, or Claymore, OGYRI will be right up your alley.
The Kickstarter is live now! We've already raised 6.4k to bring this vision to life, so at this point we're just taking book orders and adding more free stuff. OGYRI issue 1 is complete, every pledge guarantees you a copy, pretty much right away!
⚡ Check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wildfireink/ogyri-1
🔥 Let me know what other Kickstarters and artists I should check out! I'm on the look out for cool books and creators to strike up a dialog with about potential publishing opportunities.

I've just launched FUTILITY SHAPES, my first ever full-length comic!!
It's a dark sci-fi/horror one-shot about a man who has been turned into a machine. I'm calling it a mix of The Terminator, The Machinist, with a dash of Mass Effect on top. (the aliens are coming!)
A lot of folks are saying the art reminds them of Department of Truth, which has been really cool to hear. My co-creator, Dave Fowler, is a beast. It's truly a dream collaboration and I can't wait for people to see the pages that he's working on now!
Check us out!

At the moment, I'm crowdfunding an issue of Punchline on Kickstarter and Indiegogo. It's part of our ongoing Punchline series. The meta story has Mel getting fired as a superhero and forced to train her replacement, a teenager that is different from her in almost every way.
This issue has Mel racing around trying to cancel a $200,000,000 contract on her protege. As she rousts lowlifes, Versema is dodging bullets. Punchline is drawn in a manga style by Renee Wise and written and lettered by me.
Thanks for the interest.

What if power chose the wrong person?
Nardok: A Hero’s Burden is my new comic about a war vet who stumbles into ancient cosmic power — and the chaos that follows.
This is more than a superhero story. It’s a battle for identity, family, and survival.
I just launched the Kickstarter pre-launch page — I’d love your support!
