Hey, folks! We hope 2025 is treating you well, all things considered! For our part, Iron Circus is planning to have a big year. In fact, not only do we have five crowdfunding projects on our calendar for the coming months, but we've actually got the preview pages live on Kickstarter now, all at once! (Apparently nobody's ever done this before? That's what they're telling us, anyway.)
So, here's what's coming.
This spring, we'll launch a crowdfund for the second volume of S.E. Case's acclaimed webcomic Rigsby WI about the lives of a group of average teenagers in a small city in Northern Wisconsin. This book, Burn It Down, turns the story's focus over to Anna, a friend of the first volume's main character. And Anna is having some rough times.
Also, we'll be launching The Unsinkable Ship of Fools by Jonas Goonface, featuring 250 pages of full-color supernatural erotica with explicit sex, feral fantasies, and truly unique characters featuring a plethora of body types, genders, sexualities, and ethnicities. This hobopunk epic offers fantastic mystery, anarchist philosophy, and a whole lot of high quality smut!
Then, coming in April, we've got a mystery project! We can't tell you what this one is, yet. You'll just have to sign up to get notified if you wanna find out!
Then, in June, we've got another book two: Harder than It Looks! This is the second volume of Kendra Wells' uproarious queer fantasy adventure Real Hero Shit, the story of a mismatched group of adventurers: a demonic playboy prince, a stoic elf, a short-fused mage, and a compassionate cleric who are sworn to protect the innocent, fight injustice, and show off how cool they look.
Finally, launching in August, we've got another mystery project! Sorry, can't talk about this one yet. But you can click that "Notify me on launch" button now, and make sure you don't miss the big reveal!
Anyway, like we said: a big year! We're really looking forward to these books (and some other things!) and we hope you're with us.
Remember, crowdfunds like this are the most direct way to support artists and publishers who make the stuff you love. Don’t just wait for it to show up on Amazon!
