Inkpot award
winning creator Jamal Igle (Supergirl, Firestorm, KISS from IDW) recently
launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.com. The Campaign has reached
thousands of comic fans and has been covered on Digitalspy.com, Comicsbeat.Com,
Comicsreporter.com and Newsarama.com . Now
the campaign enters it’s final week, with 63% of it’s funding already pledged.
Molly Danger is the story of the world’s most
powerful 10-year-old girl. A seemingly immortal super strong hero, Molly has
protected the city of Coopersville for the last 20 years.
Kept in constant
isolation and watched closely by D.A.R.T. (The Danger Action
Response Team) an organization created to assist in her heroic deeds and
monitor her movements, Molly battles the Supermechs. A team of cybernetically
enhanced beings with unusual powers, Molly always defeats them and yet they
always managed to mysteriously escape. Molly longs for a real life, with a real
family, something she’s been told she can never have. Her life changes when
D.A.R.T. recruits a new pilot, Austin Briggs. Briggs has his own
motivations for joining the team, newly remarried; Austin is having trouble
forming a relationship with his new stepson, Brian. Austin wants to
use his connections to impress Brian, an avid Molly Danger fan. However things
get turned on its ear when Molly and Brian form a friendship of their own.
“As the father
of a young girl, I’ve found myself disheartened that there isn’t a female
superhero character for my daughter to read that hasn’t been turned into a
killer, or overtly sexualized. A character that isn’t joined at the hip to a
male hero or subservient to one.” Igle said. Igle will write and pencil
the series with inker Juan Castro (G.I.Joe: Snake Eyes for IDW, Incorruptible
for Boom Studios, Elders of the Rune Stone) and Colorist Michael
Watkins (Sonic the Hedgehog, Transformers).
Molly Danger
will be a four book,48 page hardcover album series beginning with
Book One: Mighty, set for a Fall 2013 release."It's a format that I love and
feel gives us the best possible canvas to tell this story"
Igle has also
teamed up with Action Lab Entertainment, publishers of the Will Eisner award
nominated series Princeless, to handle the publishing and distribution of the
series.
The 30 day campaign
began on August 1st, 2012, incentives include a limited edition
version of Book one for $22USD including shipping or a DRM free PDF for $8USD,
posters, prints, a behind the scenes sketchbook and original artwork from the
finished book.
The Campaign
ends on August 31st 2012 and will only be funded if it reaches it’s
$45,000 Goal.
