 This is Kevin, back to talk about comics that launched on Kickstarter on the dates of February 1-2. There were 35 launches between Sunday and Monday last week. The first of the month always sees a huge spike in launches for some reason, no matter what day of the week it’s on, and usually Sunday doesn’t have very many launches at all, even during busy weeks, usually less than 10, sometimes zero. Y...

Hey everybody. This is Kevin from The Comic$ Crowd coming at you from Flatline Comics headquarters here in coastal Alabama on February 4th, 2026, talking about comics that were launched on Kickstarter between January 28th and January 31st. I am behind by a few days, so apologies for that. The volume is steadily increasing in the Comics category to the point that it gets very cumbersome for me to k...

Kevin here, coming to you with the new comics launched on Kickstarter for Monday and Tuesday, January 26th and 27th, 2026. So, a little more robust Tuesday than I expected for even in January. Between Monday and Tuesday, we had 26 launches in the comics category. That’s more than I thought we would have. There are definitely some worthy choices in there. I found four that I want to share with you...

Hey, it’s Kevin, here to update you on launches in the Kickstarter Comics category between Friday, January 23rd and Sunday, January 25th. I know I’ve been away for a couple weeks. I’ve been slacking, dealing with some, well, let’s just say seasonal related sinus and respiratory things, but I’m pretty much over all that. I took a little vacation that was much needed. Got down into what I thought wo...

Not only were 18 new projects launched in the Kickstarter Comics category, but the vast majority of them are…AWESOME. That’s right, a genre-diverse set of drops happened, and I’m separating the best from the rest. That means today’s update is broken into two posts to allow me to give enough space to thes...
