Two of my all-time favorite webcomics are running Kickstarter campaigns.
First up, Girl Genius.
The Girl Genius Kickstarter ends this week. It's blown through two batches of stretch goals and is steaming ahead to the final one. Pledge now, and you'll receive PDFs of the entire run, including plenty of bonus content. If you've never read the comic, I guarantee it's worth it. If you have read the comic, it's a great way to reread, refresh your memory, and relive the awesomeness.
They're at about $284k now. If they can hit $300k, they'll be able to hire someone to help manage the business. Which means expanding into new territory. Which means even more Girl Genius awesomeness making the world more awesome with the power of its awesome. I really want to see that happen. Because it would be awesome.
Meanwhile, Goblins has hit some snags lately. They had to part with their publisher/webhost and it got kind of messy for a while there. But Thunt, being a better man than I (which I do not say often or lightly), has refused to badmouth the other side, has publicly apologized for his part of the stressful and difficult situation, and has called for his fans to stay positive.
The Goblins/Evertide Games Kickstarter, which was delayed due to the whole kerfuffle, starts Monday. It's for a card game based on the comic. And it looks really cool. So keep an eye out for that.
Evil Inc. my other favorite webcomic, is not currently running a Kickstarter, as far as I know. But it's still well worth checking out.

Date: 2013-05-30 05:22 pm (UTC)From:Originally, any pledge at the $20 level or above was going to get the PDFs, but we hit so many stretch goals that now the $10 PDF-only reward includes not just Volume 12, but the full set. And also the other digital goodies that have been unlocked (blueprints, a "signed" picture of Agatha, and a couple of other things).
You can also add additional rewards a la carte by selecting a reward and then pledging extra. So if you select the $10 PDF reward and then pledge $18 you can get all the PDFs plus a nifty patch. Extra copies of the PDFs (to distribute to friends) are $10 each, etc. (The add-on list is, unfortunately, still a little out of date. They're scrambling.)
Hope that helps. If you have additional questions, you can ask them in the comments or by submitting a question at the bottom of the page. Despite the craziness, they do actually manage to respond to those.
