AYUUAH – The Manga Series VOL.1
Creators: Lucas Bertoncello (Writer/Illustrator)
Goal: $1,165
End Date: December 9, 2025
Goodies: You can get the softcover copy for $18, the poster bundle for $30, and the illustration bundle for $59!
AYUUAH caught my eye because, for one, it’s only $100 away from being funded, but two, the art on this project. The art is very much meant to be similar to a manga; however, Bertoncello’s work comes out in various ways, and I find that endearing, so I couldn’t help but look through the free chapters they have set up. It was honestly so much fun and a way to look into this new fantasy he’s coming up with. It’s safe to see why people are backing this project, and if you’re a fan of high fantasy with some influence from all kinds of media, this is the story for you!
I Will Save You – Book 4
Creators: David M. Booher (Writer), Winston Gambro (Artist)
Goal: $11,000
End Date: December 11, 2025
Goodies: Get the digital copy for $5, the physical copy (Cover A) for $10, Comic + GLITTER Sticker + 10 Cards for $29, variant covers for $30, signed comics for $40, Mystery box for $70, and more!
’90s Vertigo Style! A weird, witty, emotionally layered noir. Lucifer’s son is Constantine meets Hellboy with a layer of queerness!
I’m honestly glad this isn’t just a run-of-the-mill zombie story; instead, this project delivers a heartfelt twist on the zombie genre while offering a polished, expanding series created by a passionate team. I Will Save You stands out through its relationship between Annie and her half-zombie father, pushing beyond survival horror to instead tell a story about loyalty and hope in a broken world. Looking through the campaign, it’s not surprising to see why it’s been funded, and if you’re a fan of horror, The Walking Dead, fantastic art, or even complex family stories, this is the kind of project for you!
O — A Wordless Cosmic Myth In Comic Form
Creators: NeO-ONE
Goal: $1,748
End Date: December 13, 2025
Goodies: Get the digital copy for $3, the physical copy for $26, the “Fading God” tier for $30, or at higher tiers get the “Perfect Circle” tier for $65!
O offers a rare and ambitious experience: a completely wordless, 104-page cosmic myth rendered only through hand-drawn black and white art. Its stunning, and that silence is where the story draws its power. Its an invitation to readers to interpret creation, decay, and rebirth through pure visual storytelling.
This kind of project doesn’t come along often, and its commitment to craftsmanship is clear on every page. The book is already complete, which means your pledge directly supports printing a high-quality hardcover edition rather than funding an uncertain concept. On top of that, the project has already met its goal, for fans of esoteric pieces of art this is right up your alley!
QUIXOTIC RE:SONANCE Vol. 1 | Original Webcomic & Soundtrack
Creators: Silver’s Castle
Goal: $3,000
End Date: January 6, 2025
Goodies: Get the digital copy for $10, the physical copy for $30, the original soundtrack for $60, or at higher tiers get the hardcover for $80, and much more!
QUIXOTIC RE:SONANCE Vol. 1 is a rare fusion of storytelling, music, and visual style shaped over five years. Set in the neon-soaked city of Elysia, it delivers a hyper-violent and hyper-sexual dystopian drama inspired by the golden era of late ’80s and early ’90s anime. What truly sets this project apart is the depth it brings. QUIXOTIC is a fully realized multimedia world built with deliberate artistry, emotional weight, and a sprawling original soundtrack of more than fifty tracks.
Creator Aika (R. H. Silver) has crafted a cybernetic, action-packed world that captures the nostalgic spark of series I associate with Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Pumpkin Scissors, and Outlaw Star. It feels like a culmination of the era’s energy and attitude transported into a modern narrative. Fans of that classic anime vibe will have a big smile on their face as they sink into this story. It almost feels like a crime getting this project for (at its cheapest) $10, PsyOptima’s art and GLITCHROID’S designs alone are already worth the price of admission. Do not miss out on this project.
The Official My Chemical Romance at Dodger Stadium Fanzine
Creators: Natasha Janfaza (Creator)
Goal: $1,400
End Date: December 30, 2025
Goodies: Get a the “Pit Package” tier for $35, the poster for $15, the fanzine on its own for $25, or at higher tiers the “Black Parade” edition for $100, and much more!
On November 13th, 2024, the internet exploded. Whether you were on Twitter, Instagram, Bluesky, or anywhere fans gather, anyone who loved My Chemical Romance or even followed Gerard and Mikey Way through comic circles saw the news spread like wildfire. MCR announced their return tour to celebrate The Black Parade, and the entire timeline lit up in seconds. Fans who had waited years for another chance to see the band rushed to share the announcement. Months later, the tour has ended, but the excitement has not faded. That lingering energy is what this project captures, and the reason this archive exists at all.
This zine is a cultural record built by the very people who lived through the nights at Dodger Stadium, run of the tour. Nearly five hundred fans submitted photos, memories, confessions, grief, pride, gender expression, friendships, and the spark that lit something inside them again. These pages document a moment when thousands of people felt understood, connected, and alive. It’s absolutely incredible, and any fan of MCR would not miss out on this project. Check it out before it’s too late!
