KICKSTARTER LINK COMING THIS WEEK
Crusade is offering Shi fans one final chance at their very limited comic exclusives.
“The fans have spoken, and we’ve listened.” Stated Shi-creator Billy Tucci. “Many have inquired about specific exclusives that were offered on past crowdfunding campaigns and we’re opening the vault and offering a rare and specific selection from my own personal collection to them.”
Many of the offerings are extremely limited, (some as low as just one edition) from past Indiegogo and Kickstarter crowdfunding campaigns and include such rarities as original artwork, numbered editions, one-of-a-kind sketch covers and remarqued art prints, illustrated by Tucci.
“Deborah (Tucci, Crusade’s Executive Director) is finishing up fulfillment for our latest campaign, Shi: Sakura. Thus far over 1,800 physical pledges have been delivered to fans.” Stated Tucci. “We are humbled and incredibly moved by the continued support we’ve received from the comics’ community from our Indiegogo and Kickstarter campaigns.”
The Shi: Second Coming Indiegogo pre-launch page is now LIVE. Fans can sign up for exclusive November 25, 2022, launch details and page preview notifications here:
