Other Kickstarters to Support

Super!

Catch up with one of Kickstarter's best superhero titles!

"You're the richest person on the planet, what do you do? Spend your wealth trying to colonize Mars? Maybe just fly to space in the preeminent phallic compensator and cry about unions to a frigid, uncaring universe? Or maybe ... you assemble your very own team of super powered misfits, toss a cool billion at an awesome new headquarters, and out-hero those annoying A-listers! Or, you know, accidentally demolition an entire city block while you and your squad try to stop the Black Atom from robbing a casino. It's just another Tuesday evening in Cosmopolis, the city of supers."

What Comic Cons Should We Hit Up Next?
almost 2 years ago – Tue, Jul 12, 2022 at 03:10:52 PM

Phil and I had a blast meeting new faces this weekend Long Island's Eternal Con. We want to give an extra thank you to Phil's fiance, Julius, for helping us at the con, and my brother, Alex, for giving us a warm welcome. 

We have plenty of cons planned this summer, but give a shout in the comments for what cons or events you'd like to see us at next? 

As you brainstorm, lets run down some other Kickstarters you should be checking out:

HELLBENT I & II • The Queer Dark Fantasy Thriller Continues!

I always love supporting other queer projects on Kickstarter, and this one hooked me with the mash of all those different genres.

"Rejoice! The second coming of HELLBENT has arrived! JEZI, the rebellious antichrist on the run, and her deadly defender NICK, return

Like Volume One, HELLBENT II is double the length of your average comic book, with 44 pages of arcane action as our intrepid antiheroes face new threats, and meet new allies! Fans of Something Is Killing The Children, Preacher, and The Sandman will not want to miss this wild ride!"

Shakespeare Unleashed – A Horror Anthology

If you're supporting Still Bi, you're obviously a fan of anthologies. So why not try a twist on horror?

"Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet... all get the horror treatment...by some of the biggest names in the genre  — including Joe R. Lansdale, Jonathan Maberry, Gemma Files, Seanan McGuire, Philip Fracassi, Lisa Morton, and Ian Doescher, author of William Shakespeare's Star Wars, William Shakespeare's Avengers and Deadpool Does Shakespeare."

Adding a New Story to the book! Featuring Bi Cat and Bi Dog!
almost 2 years ago – Tue, Jul 12, 2022 at 07:31:07 AM

As we charge towards our funding goal, we're excited to announce our first Stretch Goal for Bi Visibility: Still Bi - adding a new story to the anthology!

The love for our Molly the Bi Cat and Cuddles the Bi Dog enamel pin mascots was so strong...

From pins...

...that we had to give these cute animals their own story in Bi Visibility!

...to page!

So if we hit USD $26,000 in funding, we'll add a two-page story to Bi Visibility: Still Bi all about Bi Cat and Bi Dog! Featuring art by Rani Sisavath, the adorable extra story is already one of our favorites!

Bi Cat and Bi Dog will join the Anthology as part of our first Stretch Goal!

So help us spread the word to hit that funding goal and stretch goal to bring the grand total of stories in the 96-page anthology to seventeen stories!

Some of our incredibly talented friends have Kickstarters launched or about to launch, so be sure to check them out!


Glarien of White Ash #1-2

This second installment of a 5-issue miniseries comes from our good friend and one of the most talented creators we know: Charlie Stickney! Glarien follows the early days of White Ash's most dangerous elf as told through the eyes of Rachel, a young woman living in 1970's NYC. Think Red Sonja meets Taxi Driver... but with Elves and Demons.

More specifically, Glarien follows the stories of two women and the different paths they take to overcome life-altering tragedies. Jumping from the elf realm of ancient Alfheim to the gritty streets of New York City circa 1971, two seemingly-unrelated tales will slowly weave together to reveal a critical piece of White Ash's complicated past. Oh, and because Glarien is involved, expect carnage... lots and LOTS of carnage.
