We couldn't be happier with the Witches of Oz #1-2 campaign! Let us offer a huge THANK YOU to all of you for coming out to support this book.
After the huge success of our first issue (and seeing the Oz hype build for the Wicked movie), we had a feeling that this campaign would be a success. But seeing is so much better than believing, so let us just express our excitement and gratitude to you for making this project the massive triumph that it is!
We truly can't wait for you to read this issue in the coming months. We think it's a great continuation of our first issue (especially in the witch romance department), but also a really unique Oz story that takes us to a location we had so much fun writing and exploring!
While things are subject to change, here's a lose timeline for our fulfillment plan:
We will of course keep you informed along the way via Project Update. Things rarely go exactly according to plan, but we're confident we'll be able to send out all Rewards on schedule with (or ahead of) the Estimated Delivery promised on the Kickstarter page.
Please note that if your pledge is currently marked "Errored" by Kickstarter (typically meaning that your payment method has failed), today is the last day to recover your pledge via Kickstarter.
If you don't fix the error by 10PM EST tonight (Thursday 12/12), Kickstarter will drop your pledge. You'll have the opportunity to reinstate the pledge when BackerKit Surveys go out next month if you so choose.
While we have you, we'll quickly let you know about our current campaigns.

This campaign will come to a close in less than a week, so we're here to announce our final Stretch Goal and to recap some of the things you might have missed about this campaign!
One of our favorite things to offer on our Kickstarter campaigns are our Pledge Initiative Bonus Items! These are FREE ITEMS that we include for backers who pledge over a certain amount. In the past, we've offered Enamel Pins, Keychains, Metal Bookmarks and Art Prints as these initiatives.
And for the first time with this campaign, our Pledge Initiative is a BONUS VARIANT COVER COMIC!
Anyone who pledges $30 or more on this campaign (before shipping costs) will get our Safe-for-work "Witchy in Wonderland" variant cover of our other Mature comic: Nightmare in Wonderland #1!
This cover features the leads of that series - Assassin Alice and Queen Bianca/Sleeping Beauty - dressed in the clothes of the Witches of Oz!
And if that isn't cool enough, backers who pledge $50 or more (before shipping) also get a SECOND VERSION of this cover where the characters are nude!
Art for this new cover comes courtesy of Gerardo Gambone with colors by Maru Davalos! If you don't already qualify for the cover, we recommend checking out our Add-ons to reach the $30 and $50 pledge thresholds (before adding shipping costs)!
For the first time ever, Lifeline Comics is offering an Acrylic Standee as a Reward Item on this campaign!
Get a 20cm (7.9in) double-sided Acrylic Standee featuring the Wicked Witch of the West as seen in The Witches of Oz #1-2!
This Standee is available via:
We have two Premium Covers available which are EXCLUSIVE to this campaign.
Our Lenticular (Moving) Cover version of the "Twister" Variant by Xong Bros transitions from "Lingerie" to "NUDE" before your eyes!
While the Lenticular is SOLD OUT via Reward Tier and Add-on, it is still automatically included in Collector's and Super Box Reward Tiers. So you can still get the cover until the campaign ends by supporting at those levels.
Alternative, we have a METAL COVER version of our "Wednesday" Homage Variant by Pernille Ørum that was added mid-campaign!
This cover is NOT automatically included in Collector's and Super Boxes, but still has a few copies available via Reward Tier and Add-on!
Here's a run-down of everything we've unlocked so far, as well as the announcement of our final stretch goal!
All backers will now receive a FREE Halloween-themed art print featuring Glinda and the Wicked Witch on the Yellow Brick Road Cemetery! Perfect for the spooky season! Line art for this print comes courtesy of Juan Samu, with colors by Maru Davalos!
Digital Backers of the campaign get a Hi-Res Digital copy of the art. Physical Backers get both a Physical copy of the Art Print and the Hi-Res Digital copy.
All backers get the Indie Comic Book Bundle just for backing this campaign. And with this Expansion Pack, we've added another five digital books to the bundle!
The Expansion includes: Legends of Dracorex, The End of All: Terminus #1, Goddomaza #1, Storage, Brian's Terrible Day #1!
All Physical packages will now include one FREE Trading Card featuring a character from the EverAfterVerse. You're most likely to pull characters from "The Witches of Oz", but may also get cards from "The Beast & Snow" or "Nightmare in Wonderland"!
If you're lucky, you might pull a RARE HOLO FOIL CARD (Ratio 1:6)! You can add even more Trading Cards via select Add-ons and Reward Tiers. Try to collect all 25 cards so far!
All backers of this campaign will now get an Exclusive Sneak Peek at the next comic in our Mature Dark Fairytale Shared Universe - a BRAND NEW SERIES launching in early 2025 inspired by The Little Mermaid!
We can't say too much about the series now, but we think you're really going to love this unique Sapphic take on the property!
If unlocked, all backers will receive another FREE art print featuring the Wicked Witch versus the Ruby Witch! Art for this print comes courtesy of Andy Duggan!
If unlocked, Digital Backers of the campaign get a Hi-Res Digital copy of the art. Physical Backers get both a Physical copy of the Art Print and the Hi-Res Digital copy.
If unlocked, all backers will get an Audio Commentary on The Witches of Oz #2 by series creators Kat Calamia & Phil Falco.
We'll go through the entire issue with you and discuss all sorts of behind-the-scenes information in a commentary track!
All backers get the Indie Comic Book Bundle just for supporting this campaign. And as we hit certain Backer Milestone Goals, we'll add even more digital indie comics to the bundle!
We've already added three books to the bundle via unlocked Backer Goals! And our final goal unlocks at 1550 Backers! Help spread the word about the project to unlock this final book!
To end off, let us quickly plug our new LGBTQ+ Enamel Pins campaign which just launched!
This set includes some highly-requested designs: Demisexual, Aromantic, Gay Bears, Axolotls, and Proud Parent!

A big Update for you all this week!
Today is the ONE-DAY-ONLY Second Chance to grab our Early Bird (First 48 Hours) Cover, we're announce our next Stretch Goal for a SECOND FREE ART PRINT for all backers, we talk about our experience seeing the "Wicked: Part One" Movie, and more!
Let's dive into it!
By popular request, we're giving backers who missed out on our Early Bird Variant Cover (originally only available for the first 48 hours of the campaign) one final chance to grab this limited-edition cover!
For TODAY ONLY from 10AM-10PM EST, you can grab "Ruby Witch (NUDE)" Cover J via our $50 Reward Tier and Add-on!
Backers who grabbed the cover in the First 48 Hours of the campaign still got the best deal (with the cover priced cheaper at $40 and automatically included in Collector's/Super Boxes pledged during those first two days). But we hope that this second chance gives all interested backers a chance at the limited variant.
If you're interested in the cover, you can grab it by selecting "Manage Your Pledge" at the top of the campaign page, clicking "Change your pledge" on the next screen, selecting the Reward Tier you're interested in (or re-selecting the same Reward Tier if you're looking to add this cover as an Add-on), and then selecting the desired Add-ons from the menu on the next screen.
With another Stretch Goal unlocked, we're excited to announce the next one we have to look forward to!
Backers of this campaign will get an Exclusive Sneak Peek at the next comic in our Mature Dark Fairytale Shared Universe - a BRAND NEW SERIES launching in early 2025 inspired by The Little Mermaid!
We can't say too much about the series now, but we think you're really going to love this unique Sapphic take on the property!
If unlocked, all backers will receive another FREE art print (in addition to the already-unlocked "Halloween" Art Print) featuring the Wicked Witch versus the Ruby Witch! Art for this print comes courtesy of Andy Duggan!
If unlocked, Digital Backers of the campaign get a Hi-Res Digital copy of the art. Physical Backers get both a Physical copy of the Art Print and the Hi-Res Digital copy.
As we reach certain Backer Milestone Goals, we'll add even more digital comics to the Indie Bundle that all backers receive for supporting this campaign!
If you're a backer on this campaign, you're more-than-likely a fan of "Wicked", the movie adaptation of which released in theater last week. As huge fans of the property (inspired by the same L. Frank Baum "Oz" novels that inspired this comic), we made a big event of seeing the movie.
We talked all about our experience, what "Wicked" means to us, and our reviews of the movie adaptation in our most recent Substack post! Spoiler Alert: we loved it!
Finally, let's end off by recommending some other Kickstarters you should check out!
From our friend and all-around-delightful-person Mark Bell and artist Yonson Carbonell (who we've had the pleasure of working with on quite a few projects) comes the second issue of their supernatural adventure comic. "Agatha, a rookie Park Ranger finds the park overrun with Trollbadgers!"
