Our Next Projects
While we have you, we wanted to take a minute to share our next Queer Kickstarter projects - both launching THIS MONTH!
Slice of Life continues with the moment you've all been waiting for...THE KISS! Our newest issue has an exclusive story from Lucy's past where you'll meet her first crush, a first appearance of a character who will have a larger role in Slice of Life #5!
And if you support the campaign at a physical level on the first 2 days of the campaign you'll be automatically put into a raffle for a chance to win our discontinued "Couple" Keychain featuring our leads, Lucy and Yuriko. So be sure to follow our pre-launch page!
And it's Pride Month so we wanted to give you double the queer with new Pansexual, Lesbian, and Non-binary pins! Our new campaign will also include our Slice of Life set, gay, trans, ace, and bisexual enamel pins.
We are also doing a giveaway for physical supporters that back the project in the first 48 hours. We will automatically put you in a raffle for a chance to win our Exclusive"Bi"Keychain.
I seriously love that this exists! An excellent way to put new talent on the map.
"The Book - In homage to Scott Snyder’s Best Jackett Press studio, each creator has taken a “jacket” as their prompt. Whether it’s a receptacle for a small treasure, a catalyst for a quest, or the wrong dust jacket on a mystical book, each creator ran with their ideas and crafted a cornucopia of short comics that are truly for any and all comics readers."
Do you like queer storytelling? Give a prose Kickstarter a shot!
"Space Wizard Science Fantasy is a queer science fiction and fantasy indie publishing company started in 2016 to publish William C. Tracy's books. Ten books, six years, a pandemic, and quitting a day job later, the publishing company opened its doors to more authors. Our intent has always been to showcase quality science fiction and fantasy stories with queer characters, because they don't get enough exposure in the publishing world."

We're Funded!! 🎉🥳

Thank you for supporting Rainbow Canvas. We're officially funded, and we still have more than half the campaign left to run. You know what that means STRETCH GOALS. So, let's reveal the line up:
I love the contrast of a bitter prince turning into actual candy. The look of the book reminds me of Adventure Time, which brings a unique vibe to the story.
"Lucifer Licorice is an all-ages comic series perfect for fans of The Regular Show, Adventure Time, Stephen Universe, or Summer Camp Island, and will make you feel all the feelings. A spoiled brat prince is turned into a licorice monster by a candy witch and must learn to stop being so bitter to break the curse."
Wells is one of our frequent collaborator. He's written incredibly, whimsical stories in both volumes of Bi Visibility, and now he's here to tell an even "deeper" story.
"Depths:BookOne is a 112 page graphic novel about grief, depression, and the strength it takes to carry on. It's a story about overcoming impossible odds when even taking a single step seems overwhelming. It's the story that made us want to make comics."
More Backer Goals Revealed!

Thank you for helping us FLY through these backer goals. Next up:
400 Backers
If we reach 400 backers you will receive a digital copy of Scout Comics' Soltaic #1 from their imprint Scoot.
"Lexa is single mother and hero in hiding once known as Elysium. She and her daughter, Harper, are just trying to get by in a world where Extraordinaries have been outlawed and freelance heroes are forbidden. Their relationship drives the story as two generations of a family see two very different paths forward. Lexa has devoted her life to protecting her daughter, but Harper wants to protect the next generation of heroes."
We are close to 90% funded and we have SO MANY wonderful stretch goals for both the creative team and backers. So be sure to share the project around.

Metal Covers Tier SOLD OUT!
almost 3 years ago
– Tue, May 16, 2023 at 09:36:33 AM
We're only a week into the campaign, and we've already sold out of ALL the metal covers in the tier. Luckily, if you still want to jump onto the Metal cover bandwagon you can use the add on feature where we still have a few copies left. The very limited book is EXCLUSIVE to this Kickstarter, and will not be available to purchase anywhere else.
Backer Goals
We're also happy to announce that we've already unlocked our first Backer Goal as we reached 300 backers, which means ALL BACKERS will receive a digital copy of Scott Snyder Presents: Tales From the Cloakroom.
"A Multi-Genre Anthology by Creators in Scott Snyder's 2021-2022 Inaugural Comics Writing Class"
And if we reach 350 Backers, ALL BACKERS will receive a digital copy of Vigia #1! A Band of Bards comic about an alien science officer, along with her companion artificial intelligence, crash land on a strange world only to discover a long dead civilization, that isn’t so dead after all. Follow Gazala and Adi as they seek a way off of a supposedly dead planet only to be confronted by terror at every turn as they seek to uncover the gruesome secrets of the Qon. Part archeological survey, part horror, all action packed thrill ride.
Kickstarter is for everyone! I really love when I see comic creators/publishers that come from different sides of the market, including the direct market. Bad Idea has had a unique distribution vision since the day they launched, and I'm glad Kickstarter is now part of that vision.
"MEGALITH is an epic of unparalleled detail and artistry. The result of a mammoth five year production journey where no expense was spared. A monument such as this demands an equally worthy presentation. We need your help to make that a reality."
A very unique take on a comic as the author explores his emotional state after being robbed by gunpoint.
"Nothing changes your life quite like a gun pointed at your face. I learned this lesson one summer night, walking home from campus with two of my roommates. Shadow of a Gun is a graphic memoir that chronicles our mugging and ensuing adventure through the criminal justice system. Through this story I explore the physical and emotional toll these events took on myself and our household."
