Six Comics Whose Creators Would Bring Them Back Via Kickstarter

What’s become clear in the last week or so is that people are really, really attached to their serialized stories. When Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas decided to Kickstart a film version of his cult TV series, fans of the long-cancelled UPN/CW show that struggled to get 3 million viewers in its heyday gave Thomas that many dollars in 24 hours or so.As a result, a number of other actors and producers have started talking very loudly and very publicly about whether they could accomplish something similar for shows like Chuck, Pushing Daisies and Terriers.Then, we tossed around some ideas for comics that should be brought back that way. What kind of responses did we get? Well, mostly ideas for other comics that “should be on the list,” “would have been better,” etc.One user pointed out that the whole list was flawed because Stray Bullets by David Lapham (right) wasn’t on it, which is a fair assessment.The most interesting responses, though, came from the creators of the comics on our list, some of whom said, “You know what, though? I’d really like to see this one get brought back instead, if it’s me….”So, we asked around. What would creators like to do, if Kickstarting an original graphic novel based on somebody else’s property (or even your own that you can’t afford to publish anymore) was an option?
