Time Sensitive is coming back to Kickstarter on 11/11. Issues 1 through 3 — our newest release — brings the most brutal, most emotional chapter yet in the series. Jorge Coelho is doing career-defining artwork, and this is the perfect time to jump on board. timesensitive3.strangelandcomics.com

Six hours, everyone. Midnight tonight and we close the book on Issue #2 at 500% funded! Thank you. All of you. For coming back, for bringing friends, for believing in this story a second time. If anyone's still on the fence — you got six more hours. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tim...

Thank you, Charlie! Means a lot. Best of luck on the rest of your campaign too!

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

So proud of this comic! So proud of this team. So proud of this community that's come together around it. I cannot believe we've reached 500% funded on a 2nd issue. That never happens. Thank you to everyone who's been part of getting us here. Twelve more hours to go!

Two days left on the TIME SENSITIVE #2 Kickstarter. Tomorrow night at midnight it's done. 300 hand-numbered Filipe Andrade foil covers. Gone when they're gone. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tim...

These Layout book reproductions from Jorge Coelho are stunning, an amazing view into his process — the closest you can get to sitting at his workbench as he draws.

Who's Dr. Dwight Higgs? Neurotic genius. Reluctant hero. The only one who can read the time map when everything's falling apart. — Time Sensitive Issue #2 has some new characters I'm dying for you to meet! And Higgs is my favorite. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tim...

The more of yourself you put into the work — your taste, your relationships, your family, your actual life — the more people want in. That's the lesson. Make it personal and mean it. 5/6

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

This is the takeaway: People don't back campaigns to 400% for the product alone. They back the person. 4/6

No publisher would have greenlit my cousin's comics debut as a stretch goal. I did it because I could — because her work earned it — and because this is what independent comics looks like when you actually make it personal. 3/6

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Nicole works in colored pencil at a photorealistic level that makes your jaw hit the floor. She's also my little cousin in her comics debut! Every other cover in this series is by an amazing art star from the comics world. Nicole comes from fine art. And she's family. That's not an accident. 2/6

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Time Sensitive #2 just hit 400% on Kickstarter! Let's talk about what this Stretch Goal says about what works in a Kickstarter campaign. This is a variant cover by Nicole Goldman, BFA-trained fine artist, two-time People's Choice Award winner, and featured in Colored Pencil Magazine. 1/6

I wrote a Location Based VR experience for Netflix's BLACK MIRROR. It launches in Montreal in May and was just covered in Variety and Hollywood Reporter. Here's the moment I accidentally announced it on stage before it was public — and the CEO said "go ahead." www.youtube.com/shorts/RZYvj...

Man, gotta love that 80s nostalgia play in the music choice! This is f**king cool cover, guys! And only ONE MORE DAY to grab one for yourself.

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Check out this cool weekend bundle. We got Igor Wolski's cover back for just one last weekend — and it's going fast. It's a beauty!

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

We just hit 350% funded. — To celebrate: Six original Jorge Coelho pages just dropped as reward tiers at $350. And NOW, each comes with the full Collector's Bundle — that's ALL the variant covers — for FREE!! Only 6 original art pieces. And going fast. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tim...

Building an audience in indie comics means earning EVERY SINGLE reader. One of our backers picked up Issue #1— and had to write to say he'd made it 4 pages before he backed Issue #2. : )

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

A comic panel doesn't just arrive. It's built. Watch a single panel from Time Sensitive #2 move through every stage — Jorge's layouts, inks, colors by Sarah Stern, letters by Micah Myers. Three artists, four stages. TS2 is live on Kickstarter now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tim...

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

Two great comic artists that go great together!

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

Got some BIG NEWS coming Friday. The big Stretch Goal when we hit 400% funded is a FIFTH collectible variant cover. This one has a very special story. It's an artist I'm very close to. And she's an absolute genius at hyper-realistic graphite portraits. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tim...

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

300% funded. Seven days. 397 backers. Made a quick video because I didn't know what else to do with this feeling. Thank you all. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tim...

Delighted to see two great editions of TIME SENSITIVE #2 together. THIS is how you collect a kick-ass comic.

Polish artist Igor Wolski built this cover from scratch and I can watch his process video forever! Be sure back TIME SENSITIVE #2 before Thursday 3/9 @ midnight — because after that, this cover disappears forever and I genuinely don't want that for you. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tim...

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

Absolutely planned it this way! : )

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

Deeply honored, my friend. Thank you!

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

We are LIVE and FUNDED in one hour!!! Now that's a good morning. Feeling honored... and relieved. This is what happens when you spend two years building something you believe in — and when readers set their alarm clocks to show up for it!! Thank you, guys!

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

So excited about this Igor Wolski cover for Issue 2 - and ONLY available for the first three days!! Be there on March 17 to grab yours. If you don't know Igor's totally bonkers work, here's more. Feels like a mix of Hergé (Tin Tin) and Moebius to me.

“Art is never a waste. It’s how we express our fears, our hopes, and how we connect with one another. And at the risk of repeating myself, you have connected with me at the very least.” I don’t have a clever response to that. I just have gratitude. 3/4

“This book is not only visually stunning, but it is a rare and amazing thing when, in just a handful of pages, the reader comes away feeling like these characters are real.” 2/4

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

I make comics because I believe stories can close the distance between strangers. Then someone like Backer #24 shows up and proves it. This is one of the most meaningful things anyone has ever said about my work. 🧵 1/4

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

Time Sensitive Issue #2 has a new colorist! Sarah Stern. 300+ issues. Batman, Cap, Star Wars. Every major publisher in comics. She said yes to our book. Jorge called her work "maybe the best colour I've had so far." Yeah. We leveled up. Launches March 17th on Kickstarter! #IndieComics #Kickstarter

010

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

We got Filipe Andrade to do a collectible cover for TIME SENSITIVE #2. If you know his work on Laila Starr, Rare Flavours, or Guardians of the Galaxy, you know nobody else draws like this. What he turned in blew my mind. Kickstarter only — this one will never be reprinted. Full reveal in the video.

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Oh my god, I loved Machinarium and Samorost! My kids too. Would love to play this with them. Good find. And, hi Eric!

What do you do when your game's levels are locked, the missions are built — and STORY still isn't working? That's when they call ME. I'm speaking at GDC 2026 on the tools I use as a Narrative Fixer. If your studio's sitting on a broken narrative — let's talk. tinyurl.com/3tbthvch #GDC #gamedev

I’ve shipped AAA games. Written for Netflix. Nothing hit like watching real people open something that lived in my head for years. The unboxing videos have been destroying me (in the best way). This one from Stephanie Palacino-Hernandez is chef’s kiss. #TimeSensitive #StrangeLandComics

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Time Sensitive Issue #2 is officially a Kickstarter "Project We Love." Again! Issue #1 hit 465% funded with 850+ backers. Issue #2 is locked and loaded — and just got selected by Kickstarter for the 2nd time and I genuinely don't know how to be cool about it. timesensitive2.strangelandcomics.com

$1 reserves your copy of TIME SENSITIVE #2 and gets you this NEW Exclusive Art Print by Jorge Coelho & Sarah Stern when you buy your copy. This goes away when we launch March 17th. → StrangeLandComics.com

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

I've shipped games to millions of players. Nothing prepared me for shipping 800 comics from my dining room table with my kids. That was Issue #1. 465% funded. 850+ backers. The most creatively fulfilling thing I've ever done. Now Issue 2 of TIME SENSITIVE is coming to Kickstarter March 17th!

Joshua Rubin @subversiverse.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

We did it!! Nearly 800 copies of my comic "Time Sensitive" #1 have been packed and mailed!
