Horror Comics creators amongst the Top 15 Kickstarter Projects for 2022
Earlier this week, Kickstarter reported on 2022’s results in the “comic book” category. With David Hyde of Superfan Promotions, a PR/Marketing firm which works closely with Kickstarter, telling CBR:
“My favorite metric is the success rate, where comics remains the highest category on the entire platform at a truly incredible 78% for 2022. That’s incredible but by no means unbelievable, given the fantastic variety of projects brought to life here! We’ve got everything from Brian Pulido’s massively adored Lady Death series, to Beehive Books’ gorgeous 600-page accordion-folded Ronald Wimberley epic Gratuitous Ninja, to Eisner-winner James Tynion IV working with Elsa Charretier and PK Colinet to produce a live-action horror film and accompanying comic. There’s truly something here to thrill every kind of reader and fan.”

BOOM! Studios gives a First Look at Justin Jordan and Brahm Revel’s ‘Harrower’ Issue #1
BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at their brand new slasher, Harrower #1, the premier issue of a brand new four-issue limited series from Spread creator and co-creator of The Strange Talent of Luther Strode, writer Justin Jordan, with highly acclaimed artist Brahm Revel (Guerillas), and letterer Pat Brosseau, about a horrifying ancient legend that lurks within a small, forgotten town, available in stores February 2023.
Synopsis: There’s nothing to fear in the quaint town of Barlowe, New York–except, that is, for the Harrower. The children wish this boogeyman was just an urban legend, but this purveyor of puritanical vengeance against the unrighteous is very real, and there’s no escape, because the Harrower seems unkillable, and spans generations, always returning…
What secrets will Jessa Brink, a teenage girl obsessed with the Harrower, uncover, and will she be able to escape the pull of her morbid fixation?
Harrower #1 features main cover art by series artist Revel, and variant covers by highly acclaimed artists Erica Henderson (Creepshow), Michael Walsh (Carnage), and InHyuk Lee (Venom).
Print copies of Harrower #1 will be available for sale on February 8, 2023 exclusively at local comic book shops or at the BOOM! Studios webstore. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including comiXology, iBooks, Google Play, and Kindle.
BOOM! Studios gives a First Look at David M. Booher and Chris Shehan’s ‘Specs’ Issue #4
BOOM! Studios revealed a first look at SPECS #4, the final issue of the mysterious new series from highly acclaimed writer David M. Booher (Canto, All-New Firefly), artist Chris Shehan (House of Slaughter), colorist Roman Stevens (Batman Fortnite), and letterer Jim Campbell (Giant Days), about a pair of misfit teens who mail-order a pair of novelty glasses, and realize they’ve received much more than they bargained for, in stores February 2023.
Synopsis: In the midst of Ted still being a suspect for murder with the town against him, a sequence of events following Skunk’s disappearance could change things forever. But what consequences will one final wish have for Ted and Kenny’s present?
SPECS #4 features main cover art by highly acclaimed artist Skylar Patridge (Trial of the Amazons) and variant cover by fan-favorite illustrator David Talaski (Nightwing). All of which we’ve included below.
Fans and readers can purchase copies of the SPECS SC (or, trade paperback), collecting the entire four-issue series, in local comic shops on August 16, 2023 and in bookstores everywhere on August 22, 2023. So mark that in your calendar.
