Digital "Transphoria" is out via Kickstarter DMs!
We're so excited to report that digital copies of "Transphoria" have been shared via Kickstarter DMs this morning!
Reward Surveys and the remaining Digital Rewards (including the Premium PDF) are expected to go out in the Fall. But we didn't want to keep you waiting any longer to read this beautiful anthology!
And we're currently working with our printer to produce Physical copies. We're hoping to receive everything by the end of the year to start shipping. We'll be sure to keep you updated once we start to get more definitive dates from our printer!
Vote for your favorite story!
Once you've read "Transphoria", we'd love to hear which story(ies) you enjoyed the most from the anthology. You can use the below Poll to vote for your favorite short comics in the book:

We'll only be selling these Connected Covers at New York Comic Con 2024 and for this limited-time campaign. Don't miss out!
We would be remiss if we didn't also take a moment to plug a really cool new project that fans of Trans Genre Stories are sure to love!
We met creator, Tomi, when we were guests on her podcast during the Transphoria campaign. And we've been big fans of her work since. We're so excited to hold this color-changing comic in our hands! The campaign ends in 5 days, so don't miss out!

More Kickstarters
To end things off, let's take a minute to plug some more live Kickstarters!
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?
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.

More Kickstarters
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."
