As Transphoria enters it's final week on Kickstarter, we wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for supporting this project.
This anthology is so important to us and it would absolutely not be possible without all of you. Thank you for giving us a vehicle to share all of these beautiful, amazing, and insightful Trans/Nonbinary comics.
Every contributor to the book has given their absolute all to Transphoria and we can't wait for you to read the finished product!
Here's to having the strongest finish possible on Kickstarter and getting this book in as many hands as possible!
Before we dive into the final Stretch and Backer Goals for the campaign, we wanted to take a moment to remind you about an exciting initiative for this campaign.

There's someTHING terrorizing the swamps outside of Gerber's Crossing...
Nearly a dozen people are missing—the most famous one being Arael Moon: comic book writer, pop culture icon, and practicing magician. What mysteries lurk in this spooky Louisiana parish, and can the Undead or Alive Agency put an end to the disappearances?
This project comes from our friend, Steve Bryant, who always produces awesome and high-quality comics! We definitely recommend checking this one out!

The best way to learn about women is from women, about trans men from trans men, about snozberries from snozberries… What I'm proposing is that we learn about the acts and facets of sex and sexuality from real people. Not movies, not textbooks, and certainly not pornography.

If we unlock this, ALL physical backers will get a physical version of the undressed Transphoria Cover A as a print, and digital backers will get a hi-res digital version of the print.
To end off, here are some more Kickstarters to have on your radar!
"Sagas of the Shield Maiden is a Viking western comics anthology series that recounts the legends, or sagas, of the titular Shield Maiden as she traverses Scandinavia and beyond the North Sea.
Each tale takes place at a different point in the Shield Maiden's life. From her first raid in England to her life as a mercenary for hire and her eventual death. As well as obviously being heavily influenced by Viking history and Norse mythology the stories all draw upon traits and themes commonly found in the western genre."

"A vibrant, new take on the Chinese classic, “Journey to the West” - follows the legend of Monkey as he’s hatched from a dinosaur egg in the middle of the Nevada Desert at the height of the Cold War. Monkey is a rebellious anti-hero with unlimited power and the US government’s attempts to destroy him will lead to World War 3, taking our story to a post-apocalyptic wasteland 500 years later."

We're excited to announce that next week, we'll be hosting a livestream that will feature more than half of the contributors to Transphoria!

We'll go live next Thursday 6/13 at 8pm EST! Here's a link to join the livestream, where you're also welcome to ask your own questions and contribute to the discussion in the chat:
A whopping sixteen out of the nineteen stories in the anthology will have at least one member of their team on the stream, so there will be a lot to talk about! We hope to see you there!
We're excited to announce our next Kickstarter - Slice of Life: A Coming Out Story!

"Believing that humans are mere pawns in the games of gods, Psi vows to kill the very beings she once revered! | LGBTQ+ comic series"
Series creator, M.K. Palmer, is a friend of ours and we're so excited to see another installment of Meraki! We're always talking about how we need more long-running comic series on Kickstarter, so you definitely shouldn't sleep on this one!

“Indiana Jones meets Dungeons & Dragons when a no-nonsense alchemist searches for the secrets and power of the Lost City of Atlantis.”
A comic about finding the Lost City of Atlantis with plenty of unique spins and twists! Pitched as Indiana Jones with a morally gray heroine and a video game element incorporated - this campaign immediately grabbed my attention. It helps that it has a killer project thumbnail and a strong preview.
