Kickstart This: Your Dollars for Comics (May 28, 2015)
The comics crowdfunding world is large and difficult to keep track of; each week, we highlight a few fundraising projects that are worth your time, attention, and maybe your dollars!
The popular comic series Atomic Robo is out of print, and this Kickstarter aims to rectify that problem.
Recommended pledge: $170 gets you a whole boatload of PDFs, plus all nine volumes in hardcover. (It may seem steep, but at $190 off cover price…not so bad, if you want to own all the volumes)
If you just want a taste of Atomic Robo, $20 gets you one random hardcover plus a DRM-free PDF.
(2) Ctrl+Alt+Del 1.0: The Box Set
The Ctrl+Alt+Del 1.0 Box Set houses the entire first ten years of the comic. Everything from the first strip in 2002 to the end of the original Ethan and Lucas story arc in 2012.
Recommended pledge: For $80, you get the entire three-book box set plus a bookplate. It’s pretty gorgeous.
