Kickstarter Launching July 15, 2025

We’ve also got a NEW Kickstarter launching tomorrow! It’s the collected edition of Animals, our biggest book of 2024. The collected trade is titled “Animals: Outbreak” and just like all our Kickstarter campaigns, we’ve put together a special cover with thicker cardstock to make it extra special. This time, we turned to one of the coolest publishers in comic history, EC Comics, for inspiration.

With art by Dark Horse artist Will Perkins (Gregory Suicide, Goblin) and design by our art director Michael Nelsen (Supernaut), it’s a loving tribute to one of our favorite publishers ever! We’ve also put together some really cool extras for this campaign. Since the book takes place in Olympic National Park, we figured we should make our own patches and brochures, just like you’d get at a REAL national park!

It’s a REAL tri-fold brochure, and both it and the patch were also lovingly designed by Michael Nelsen (with word by your fearless editor in chief – ME!) We’re only offering these extras and this cover through the Kickstarter, so don’t miss out! Click here to sign up for the campaign and you’ll get notified the moment we launch!

With this fresh Kickstarter and our new presence on Lunar, our Invasion is only growing bigger and bigger! We can’t tell you how excited we are for all the things we’re going to drop on you in 2025, so stay tuned and keep your eyes on the horizon!
