Kickstarter continues to be a terrific way for independent creators of all sorts to share their ideas with the world and find the needed funding to bring their projects to life. Of course, not every single project is going to be worth a donation, but it’s exciting whenever you find something that is.
In our recent scouring of the fundraising platform we found a few campaigns that fit the bill.
Here are 3 Kickstarter ideas that we think are worth a look and possibly a donation.
Comic Book
Decimation Earth: Agents of Anarchy (Charlotte, NC)
This Lovecraftian Horror take on the superhero genre follows the story of veteran, Gideon Morse, who’s recruited by a secret organization to help stop the return of “The Great Old Ones.”
