I’m super excited to share with you all the first Kickstarter campaign I have ever backed! Sometimes I scroll through Kickstarter browsing through different campaigns, but I have never felt compelled to pull out my credit card and back a project. This changed when I clicked on the campaign for the graphic novel AFTERGLOW. I was drawn to the pastel artwork, the characters, and the overall storyline. It’s close to being funded even though the campaign is going to run for twenty more days. Join me in funding this graphic novel!

AFTERGLOW is told after The Glowing destroyed 80% of the population. The wildlife was impacted including animals being mutated along with water being contaminated. Lacey is one of the survivors in this new world along with her radioactive cat. Yes, you heard me right she is riding on a radioactive cat. Not going to lie the radioactive cat did draw me into this graphic novel because I will forever be a cat lady. So basically this gigantic house cat and Lacey go on adventures together.

AFTERGlOW is created by K. Lynn Smith. She is the author of the webcomic, Plume. I haven’t read Plume yet, but I do have the website bookmarked under my webcomics folder. Pat Shand is the other brilliant mind behind AFTERGLOW and someone I’m less familiar with.

As far as the rewards, they’re pretty typical for any Kickstarter campaign. The more you pay, the more you unlock such as exclusive artwork, bookmarks, buttons, bumper stickers, and more. I personally only need the physical trade paperback so I didn’t pledge for any of the extra stuff, but if you’re a collector that might be worth it for you.

I have no doubt that this project will be backed considering they are less than $500 away from their funding goal. You can go check out the official Kickstarter campaign here: AFTERGLOW – Graphic Novel I have never been more excited for a graphic novel to ship to me!
