Here's another that caught my eye.
Big necro, I know, but I recently found out about 20 Fists
, which is currently funding for a full print run of 3 issues.
Sounds pretty fun to me:
It was desire at first sight, Billie saw Chel across the battlefield pummeling in Keelan's face. Chel's smile made Billie's heart skip a beat. It was right then and there that she knew she had to have her. For a bit things were good, but unfortunately it's hard to navigate a budding relationship and two crews who are constantly butting heads. Something had to give. Now, with their crews about to meet up for another battle, Chel & Billie need to decide once and for all...to make love or war?

Very time-sensitive one here: Sonica. Ends in less than 24 hours. $847 of $1,093 raised so far.
"Sonica is an all-ages super-hero comic. An attack on her mother's lab has left Sonya Sol and her dog Sookie with a unique gift: each time they would hear music of a different genre they would have a different super-power as long as the music is playing. Aided by sarcastic boy genius Shay, it’s up to Sonya to investigate her mother’s murder, train a super-powered dog and fight the mysterious terrorists known as 'The Orchestra'."

Crowdfunding for comics is blowing up in a big way, but the stories that are doing so tend to be backed by a sort of reactionary group.
The most recent success for instance, Kamen America, according to reviews, is a pretty on the nose satire of Carol Danvers, Marvel, and Lumberjanes. It’s secured 40k across both Kickstarter and Indiegogo, which is pretty impressive for a one shot from a team with no Big Two experience. But I don’t know if that money is there for an audience not as reactionary. What will make people part with their money?
Sorry to double post, but among the 40% of staff laid off by Kickstarter was Camilla Zhang, their "comics outreach lead". She’s credited with helping to get Kickstarter employees their union as well as creating an anthology of works from Kickstarter authors to position the company as a major provider of comics from creators and characters outside the Big Two. Detractors have accused her of being a gatekeeper and costing the company millions in pledges.

Here is one that's notable for how unusual it is.
Boom! Studios is funding BRZRKR, a series co-written by Keanu Reeves and Matt Kindt about an immortal warrior who has more then passing resemblance to Keanu.
So if you wanted to see John Wick kill his way through history, heres your chance.

A lot of people apparently do, it’s up to $400,000 in raised money. Insert obligatory “Whoa” here.

Ilovecomix is holding a Kickstarter project to keep up their large archive of Newspaper Comics. Since so many old comics have never been reprinted, including comics old enough to now be in public domain, their archive is the only way to read many comics. Their project ends in less than a week.
Has anyone else read Hound by Paul J. Bolger, Barry Devlin, and Dee Cunniffe?
Oni Press is looking to kickstart a tie-in comic for Cult of the Lamb called Cult Of The Lamb The First Verse that been doing quite well - over 300 grand in only 5 out of 30 days funding
The thread is about Crowdsourced Comic Projects from Kickstarter and Indie Go Go where we can discuss any interesting comics you like from these sites.
For my choice is this comic that recently took my interest:
Swords of Edo
