Kickstarters You Should Be Backing: August Edition

Posted on by Bob Harrison

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the latest edition of Kickstarter campaigns that we think you should check out. There are lots of creators taking advantage of the slowdown in comic publishing and lack of comic conventions by running campaigns for crowdfunding their work.

DC Comics
