Welcome to this week’s installment payment BeatComic crowdfunding review! Let’s take a look at a legendary project that comes back to life, one about love and frustration, the ultimate collection, and two projects you’ll love!
Shinku completed
Creator: Ron Marz (writer), Lee Moder (artist)
Target: $5,000
End date: May 8
nice one: Get digital copies for $25, get early bird hardbacks for $45, sign for $65, or get original art pages for $150, and more!
Shinku Complete is a neon, bleeding warrior and vampire epic that feels like a lost mill classic. Originally created by writer Ron Marz and late artist Lee Modern, Shinku follows modern samurai, through an ancient vampire clan and through the dark underworld of Tokyo. The initial five-stage run established worship for its razor action, stylish horror and unwavering tone. Now, this newly collected version not only collects the original series, but also respects the legacy of Lee Modern, who died tragically two years ago. It includes never seen story pages, dowels, character designs, and an unfinished continuation of Shinku. It’s not just a reprint! It’s a celebration of a great artist and a genre mash-up that is still stuck in a deep. If you missed it for the first time, this is your chance to experience it in full, and if you don’t, you already know how special it is.

The basis of optimism
Creator: Khalid Johnson (Writer/Artist)
Target: $2,500
End date: April 30
nice one: Get the Crescent Bundle (Digital Art Books, Invitations, Wallpapers, etc.) for $5, get the Crescent Bundle (Presting Offeress Plus Perscard) for $15, get the soft cover graphic novel for $30, or get the $50 variant on a higher level, and more!
The basis of optimism It is a 100-page graphic novel about identity, community and magic, and uses hip-hop as the language. Jes Freeman is a black trans woman about to go to college and was rushed to a magical college, which is not very similar. This story goes beyond rose glasses and asks what we do when the space we love no longer feels safe and how to build something better. This project stems from the real harm of love, frustration and transphobia, especially in the creative space. It’s not a retelling, it’s new things for people who feel they’re kicked out of the story they once called home. If you have ever needed a place to breathe, be seen or feel strong again, the optimistic foundation is for you.

Office World: Interactive Graphic Novels
Creator: Devin Solano (Creator/writer)
Target: $1,500
End date: April 17
nice one: Get physical copy for $20, #1 bundle (physical copy and custom faceless portrait) and more!
Traditionally drawn in office buildings, unfolding mysteries. Use code to solve puzzles, discover secrets, and more.
The office world It is a unique journey and passionate project produced by creator Devin Solano. It’s complex, beautiful, and sometimes disturbing, inviting readers to explore a world in which horror, existential fear and dry humor all exist in the surreal environment of a never-ending office. It’s the kind of sticking to your book, not only for its atmosphere, but also because of the questions it raises in the process. If you are looking for a separate gem that pushes boundaries and makes you feel something, then look for nothing.

Target: $1,800
End date: May 8
nice one: Digess Digital Copy is $6, physical copy is $20, and dual-bundle is $35!
Science fiction horror comics
In rare times, I was really frustrated because I didn’t know much about the project, not what is available on their page. This is one of them. Nervous Garden Absolutely beautiful, it caught my attention when looking for items that can be added to this roundup and is a Buy Now in my cart. It’s just a standard size comic with 44 pages, a space crew that needs to sneak through ancient AI. To keep it hidden, they powered the ship and drifted silently, but someone on board tried to restart it. Stols has made me obsessed with not only a sci-fi story, but also the use of color and art (yes, that’s their name, I love it), making me stick to their projects. It feels very strange, and of course it is the point, but it makes me want more. I have given the highest advice to this project and I can’t wait to see this version of this project.
