  • Mai;bag!

    (Almost) Every Friday night Will Allred and Kevin Joseph sit down to talk comics, crowdfunding, and a little bit of Pop Culture with comic creators currently running campaigns. This week the creators who joined us were:

    We sat "almost" because this week, with SDCC upon us we don't have creators from new campaigns joinging us, so Will and Kevin answer Crowdfunding questions from people in Kevin's Discord. It was a really fun, and informative hour. But just because no new creators were on with campaigns to promote, doesn't mean we don't have a campaign live you should back.

    Host Will Allred is currently running a campaign to print the fourth issue of Crossover Division which can be found at: http://crossoverdivision.com/ks.
