The Signifiers on Kickstarter

Following my review of The Signifiers #1 by Michael Neno (published by M.R. Neno Productions), I want to let you know that The Signifiers #2 is listed on Kickstarter.com. The first issue didn't sell enough copies through Diamond Distributors for them to continue distributing it.

The Signifiers #2 will also feature an exclusive interview with cartoonist Tom Scioli (Godland, The Myth of 8-Opus) on the state of comic book distribution, including unpublished art from his wicked webcomic, American Barbarian. Issue #2 will be 52 pages, B&W, with color covers and a $5.95 cover price. Money pledged for this project will be used towards the printing bill and pledgers will receive new copies of The Signifiers #2 as soon as they are printed.

The Kickstarter.com project will only be funded if the goal amount is pledged by June 5th, 2011.
