Kickstart This: Molly Danger (July 16, 2015)
The comics crowdfunding world is large and difficult to keep track of; each week, we highlight a few fundraising projects that are worth your time, attention, and maybe your dollars!
All-ages comics are a huge thing right now, and Molly Danger is a great choice. It features a strong female lead (young Molly, who has amazing super powers, but has no life of her own because it’s controlled by a government agency) and diversity on the page and behind the scenes in creator Jamal Igle.
Recommended pledge: $20 gets you the first six issues of the series digitally, plus a PDF of the first book.

Heartless is a webcomic featuring LGBTQ and asexual main characters about VAMPIRES who dress really fancy. The author is trying to make the transition into print, and, well, who doesn’t want to see vampires in fancy dresses?

(3) CHEMystery #1: Science Education in Comic Form
Teaching kids chemistry and science through comics? SOLD.
