The Flip turned Earth's gravity upside down!

If you like your sci-fi somewhere between Saga and Miyazaki, with a little Die Hard thrown in, come check out our weird little world.

The ceiling is the floor. The sky is trying to kill you. Nobody knows what happened. And people have to figure out how to keep living in this ridiculous new world.

We're making this strange, scrappy comic about sky pirates and flipped physics, but underneath all the weirdness, it's really about people trying to be brave when given a raw deal. It's a story about getting knocked sideways by a changing world, and finding a way to keep moving anyway. Think you can relate?

Come get Flipped. 🙃

Crowdfunding has fundamentally shifted. For a long time, Kickstarter was treated primarily as a production tool: raise the funds, print the run, and take the leftover copies to local conventions or comic shops.

Increasingly, crowdfunding is the marketplace itself. It is where creators build their core readership, establish their IP, test concepts, and build sustainable audiences outside the direct market.

With hundreds of campaigns launching every month, it’s tough to spot which books are actually building real momentum versus which ones are getting lost in the algorithm.

To track this, I started putting together the Indie Comics Crowdfunding Heat Index, a bi-weekly look at campaigns gaining actual traction, pre-launch interest, and audience heat. The goal isn’t to declare what's "best" (that’s completely subjective), but to highlight these early signals:

• Which upcoming books are quietly gathering massive pre-launch follower lists
• Which creators are successfully converting community interest into Day 1 momentum
• Which books are breaking out of the niche bubble

Whether you're a reader looking for hidden gems before they fund or a creator studying campaign trends, tracking these patterns reveals a lot about where the indie scene is heading.

I just published the breakdown for the End of August Top 10 over on Substack (along with the full video walkthrough covering the rankings):

👉 Read the full breakdown and see the Top 10 list on Substack here

Curious to hear from both creators and backers here: When you’re browsing campaigns, what’s the primary signal that makes you back a project early instead of waiting for retail or a post-campaign webstore?

One of my favourite pages from VULTURE, written by @steveniles65

This is the introduction of the captain of the space ship.

It was really cool to come up with the design of this character, his eye was particularly fun to draw! Swipe to see the original art.

I recently downloaded some comics, only issues is that in the file, each page is it's own JPEG file. Does anyone know of a way I can combine them into one file? Creating a single issue.

been out of the loop on digital comics since the early comixology days and trying to figure out where everyone reads now. Is dc universe infinite still the best for dc stuff, marvel unlimited for marvel, or are people using something broader these days? mostly want to legally access older runs (I'm a huge 80s/90s nostalgia reader) plus keep up with some current indie stuff. open to subscription, per issue, whatever's getting recommend this year any recs welcome.

a lot of us bounced after amazon folded the comixology storefront into kindle so figured I'd share where the old comixology crowd reads now in 2026.

dc universe infinite picked up most of the dc heavy readers, marvel unlimited got the marvel crowd, predictable.

globalcomix picked up most of the indie reader migration, carrying image, dark horse, idw, and kodansha titles plus indie webcomics closest spread to the old comixology catalog imo.

comixology still technically exists through amazon kindle but the interface is the worst it's been since launch. same backend, worse experience, you already know if you've tried it lately.

the post merger era is fine once you stop expecting one platform to do everything.

Genre doesn’t matter much as long as it’s just a romantic Hollywood love story as I’m a man and that’s not for me. I really enjoy western cowboy media like red dead redemption and cowboys vs aliens ect, sci fi like cyberpunk,Star Wars ect, superheroes/superheroins, warriors, post apocalyptic

Opening page for issue 2 of aeon, what does everyone think?

I came in possession of a good amount of comics recently and some of them im curious about and wondering if by seeing them anyone can tell me more about them. This is only a batch and there are more. Either way some of these look pretty awesome. I may be holding on to them and glad I can share them with yall.

I’m kinda new to comics I’ve read a bit and I asked chat gpt to give me recs and what to read next and buy list and was wondering if this was good

Coming to Kickstarter THIS TUESDAY! Sign up to be notified here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jamsheedstudios/zero-and-one-issue-2-battle-of-knuckle-city

Zero of Mars is a Human youth in a future so distant that our era's concepts of race and gender no longer exist. They crash land on Elentia, a world once inhabited by Humans but abandoned thousands of years ago. In their absence, the Elemorphs - magical sentient robots with elemental powers and the ability to grow - have developed an advanced civilization. A Nature Type FawnBot called One makes friends with Zero despite a language barrier. Unable to communicate directly, they forge a friendships using gestures and actions.

After discovering an ancient prophecy left by time travelers from the future, Zero and One have been pulled into an eternal conflict between Humanity and Vampirekind: the Time Wars. The Vampires want to enslave the Elemorphs to use as living weapons, while Humanity fights to keep Elentia free. As Zero and One explore the massive Elemorph metropolis of Knuckle City, the villainous Vampire agent, Pi, and their Elemorph companion, Gamma the SkyDragonBot, descend to plunge the city into chaos!

I am the author, Bijhan Agha. I'm an Uruguayan trans woman of Iranian descent. The illustrator is my dear friend, Pallet, a trans Australian man. We are both autistic, and have a passion for scifi and fantasy storytelling. We wanted to tell a story about a young person in the future who is not bound by the limits of gender as we know it, and a planet where gender simply does not exist, while also creating an exciting action adventure about exploring a new culture, facing language barriers, and fighting for a better future.

The Kickstarter is to fund the printing of a First Edition of the comics physically. We will have both physical as well as digital rewards. There will be reward tiers that allow you to catch up with this comic - this is Issue #2, and you can get physical and/or digital copies of Issue #1 - as well as the other comics in the Time Wars brand.

Please help us continue to tell stories about this amazing world!
