Mars, Console Wars, Agatha, & More

By August Tales

Kick-start Your Week with Comics Crowdfunding Round-Up

Hello comic enthusiasts, welcome to this week’s Comics Crowdfunding Round-Up. Dive with us into the mythical world of Martian life, a colossal mecha war with a twist, and your familiar realm of high fantasy.

Sylvain Runberg & Grun Offer Glimpses into Mars

As we leap into the fantastical realm of Mars, a $7500 Kickstarter target catches our eye. Sylvain Runberg, the writer, and Grun, the illustrator, are looking to bring their creation, “On Mars,” alive. Get your digital copy for $15, paperback for $25, and hardcover for $35.

We land in 2132. Earth’s sustenance is at stake, and Mars has become humanity’s only hope. An expansive effort such as this demands vast resources and manpower. To conserve costs, convicts chip in labor. It’s a barter: early access to the future habitat vs. enduring back-breaking work to construct it.

Runberg and Grun, both award-winning authors, reveal Mars’s narrative juxtaposing hope and violence. A corrupt cop, falsely accused, emerges as the protagonist. He grapples with the duplicity not only on Earth but also on Mars. We at August Tales are eager to see where this storyline leads. Don’t miss out! Support here.

Console Wars Unleash Eye-Catching Art

As we journey further, we jump into Console Wars, with a goal of $6000. Corey Lewis “Reyyy,” creator, writer, and artist, recounts the video game console’s history via epic robot battles.

Console Wars fascinates us with its striking art. Reyyy, with a portfolio boasting board games, books, and an art page, has weaved a tale of a mecha fight. The story pans across generations of console wars, from the first to the third and beyond. Gundam and Evangelion inspirations await your discovery. Don’t miss out! Support here.

Andrew MacLean’s Agatha: A Tale of Three Witches

Artfully crafted by Andrew MacLean, Agatha: A Tale of Three Witches is a magical parable circling bad neighbors and antisocial witches. This creation needs your support to reach its goal of $10,000.

MacLean, an award-winning creator, is famous for his comic Head Lopper. This new piece, Agatha, expands upon this universe, serving as a fascinating prequel. We at August Tales look forward to what this world of weird high fantasy brings. Support here.
