@backerkit.com is more than just a pledge manager nowadays. Having done a few launches on BackerKit Crowdfunding (including MythFall Issue 2, which is live now), we want to do a deep dive to pull back the curtain about how it works. #makingcomics #printopia2026

I edit a fun, D&D-inspired comic series called Wurst & Mayhem. But this time around, I also wrote a little something. If you like humor and adventure mixed with magic and a few curse words, this is the comic for you. #Kickstarter #indiecomics #makecomics

Sometimes, #makingindiecomics is about taking your outrageous ideas and inflicting them on the world because you’re an adult and no one can stop you. #mythfall #indiecomics #sciencefiction

Conventions can be hit or miss for a lot of indie creators. Our first few were definitely flops, but we've gotten A LOT better at making small and medium cons work for us. We turned a profit at 10 /11 conventions this year, and the only exception was breakeven. Here's how we pitch.
