Kickstarter – Mini Comics Included!
The Mini Comics Included! project at Kickstarter pretends that it’s the old days and toys still come packed with fun mini-comics that tell us all about the characters and vehicles (and playsets!) of our favorite imaginary toy lines. The Kickstarter project plans to deliver six mini-comics (for as low as $15 for a printed set) and as soon as I saw what they were planning I had to jump in and back the project.
Remember the fun you had with comics, toys, and cartoons as kids? That’s what we’re bringing back! More than a homage and not quite a love letter, the stories you’ll find here are a continuation of the medium’s core qualities. Imagination! Excitement! Heart! We grew up on Kirby and He-Man, Toth and G.I. Joe and are now putting the exuberance and wonder bestowed into this unique project.

I love Kickstarter! I love these guys. I proudly pledged in at a “Treegarr” level ($100.00). What a great idea!
@Stratos – I was first worried this one may not succeed, but it looks like there’s enough excitement I didn’t need to worry. I’m loving the idea of the mini-comics; I wish (more) toys were packed with comics these days.
