JAMAL IGLE'S MOLLY DANGER IS NOW LIVE ON KICKSTARTER
Former Supergirl artist launches his brand new creator-owned
superhero series on Kickstarter.com
The wait is finally over and the campaign is on. Inkpot award
winning creator Jamal Igle (Supergirl, Firestorm, KISS from IDW) has launched a
crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.com
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 begins on August 1st, 2012, and
planned incentives include a limited edition version of Book one, posters,
prints, a behind the scenes sketchbook and original artwork form the finished
book.
“I believe in Molly, so much so that I'm putting my money where my
mouth is. “ said Igle. Incentives will include owning the original artwork
from the first book as well as membership cards, t-shirts, posters and unlocked
incentives.
