I have here a list of Kickstarters with a focus on comics. There are quite a few here, so I won’t spotlight them all, but one that really caught my eye is Death Transit Tanager of Karl Kerschl. I saw the art and immediately got Samus vibes and was intrigued. That sounds like a pretty cool cartoon. Moreover, it is important to note that Rise of Izta launched this week and is already almost over, so hurry if you like it. Which of these projects are you most interested in and which other projects should we check out? Let us know in the comments below.

Slaughterhouse

Hellbound Media

Blood. Death. Pigs. Grindhouse horror graphic novel.
Slaughterhouse Farm is a blood-soaked love letter to the grindhouse horror classics of the 70s and 80s. The horror of The Hills Have Eyes or the Texas Chain Saw Massacre moved to the isolated mountains of North Wales. There’s humor and a mysterious plot to be uncovered – but this cartoon is still nasty as hell, with beheadings, impaling and mutilation to keep hounds happy. The story begins with Frankie and Julian taking a minibus full of troubled teenagers for a weekend in Snowdonia – but horror awaits literally around the bend in the twisted form of Pigfucker!
