IDW Dark acquiring Blumhouse' M3GAN, The Purge, and Happy Death Day is a masterclass in licensing strategy. Film budgets kill mid-tier horror franchises before they can really stretch their legs, but comics gives creators infinite canvas space to get weird. #HorrorComics 🔪🩸

My 3 basic checks before backing a comic: Verify the creative team portfolios. Check the campaign's location and account transparency. Look for genuine production evidence: sketches, pencils, inks, lettering and WIP material Crowdfunding runs on trust and That trust deserves transparency. (6/7) 6/7

I originally intended to back Venom Vixens. After doing this investigation, I decided not to. And that's why I wrote the full breakdown. Not to tell people what they should or shouldn't back, but to show why due diligence matters when you're putting money into an unfinished comic. (5/7) 5/7

Then there's the artwork. The campaign states that AI was used only for marketing and promotional purposes but the comic artwork was created by human artists. But after examining pages closely, It made me question that claim. I can say it raised enough red flags for me to walk away. (4/7) 4/7

The campaign presents one US location, Texas then business information points somewhere else. The phone number points to Virginia And platform transparency information for the social accounts points toward India. being based in India isn't the problem. The problem is transparency. (3/7) 3/7
