My Kind Of Weird prides itself on pitching the best in horror, strange and bizarre. While we can't name every single Kickstarter project these ones certainly caught our eye (yes, we only have one).
Here's our picks of Horror, Dark Fantasy & Neo Noir comics to put on your pledge list for November 2024.
Rid Of You: Memoria
Funded in 3 hours, Rid of You is a dark fantasy manga promoting itself as a dark fantasy anime graphic novel on Kickstarter. Created by artist Amrit Birdi (Username: Evie), season 2 of Rid of You (aka Rid Of You: Memoria) is a 136 page graphic novel where Tristan and his town is shrouded in a mysterious darkness, where sinister creatures roam, and a strange affliction erases people’s memories.
Life feels hollow, and Tristan can’t shake the feeling that one choice he made long ago lies at the heart of it all.
Meanwhile, Aradia, the Fae princess he loves and heir to the Underrealm throne, has been captured by her vengeful mother, the Queen of The Starsea.
To save their worlds, Tristan and Aradia embark on a perilous journey, confronting old enemies, forging unlikely alliances, and uncovering hidden truths about each other. Along the way, they’re forced to confront the choices that shaped their paths and might yet define their fates.
Whether it’s digital or physical, be sure to grab Seasons 1 AND 2.
Curse of the Gorgon #2
In this thrilling blend of suspense, erotica, and Greek Mythology, Mandisa Jones, a terminally ill college professor, wakes up one morning miraculously cured. Although, everyone around her insists it’s nothing short of miracle, she can’t shake an unsettling feeling deep within her.
Vivid dreams and haunting visions plague her mind as she experiences a horrific transformation into the legendary Gorgon Medusa. Meanwhile, an obsessed detective follows the trail of petrified men left in her wake. Then a delusional man with his own mythological ties embarks on a a quest to kill her.
All while her friends try to solve the mystery of her amazing discovery.

Immortal Coil #1-2
Immortal Coil is an expansive tale which reimagines Norse mythology through the lens of eldritch horror, set in a modern world teetering on the brink of cosmic oblivion.
Written and illustrated by Gerald Von Stoddard, inked by John Martin colored by Guilherme Lindemberg and lettered by Jerome Gagnon, this series delves deep into the ancient truths behind Ragnarok, exploring a hidden history where the apocalypse was a hoax, designed to banish Loki and protect Odin’s family, at the cost of every other realm. With Loki's return and a plot to unleash Nyarlathotep's catastrophic power, the story becomes a thrilling battle between divine bloodlines and cosmic horrors, with the fate of all existence at stake.
With covers that traverse Lovecraftian style and action-packed influence, cover C is my pick as the clear winner and the one you should pick up!
The Devil’s Gate #1
Western horror isn’t a sub-genre that’s been largely explored. Though there have been entries that could be defined as such. I’m talking about movies like *The Good, The Bad and The Ugly* and *Django Unchained*.
It’s 1870. Welcome to Heaven's Gate, Arizona, a town controlled by a dangerous and enigmatic cult and right on the brink of collapse.
Enter John Glass, a mysterious outlaw hellbent on avenging the brutal death of his younger brother at the hands of a group of ex-Confederates.
His quest for vengeance leads him to Heaven's Gate, where the local sheriff - a man only known by the name Royal - does all he can to keep the community afloat and out of complete chaos. But that's easier said than done, considering the amount of influence the priest has over the townsfolk.
John arrives in town to discover that much something much deadlier than a handful of rotten Confederates is at play here. A dark, sinister secret lies in the air, thick like fog. While he attempts to track down his brother's killers, John forms a reluctant alliance with Royal and begins investigating whatever goes on behind the walls of the Church of the Sovereign Saint.
What John soon learns is that every man harbors secrets and that most are willing to kill to keep them hidden...
Written by Silas Dunn and CJ Patereau, The Devils Gate seeks to blend the worlds of Dead Redemption and The Last of Us. This world is resulting something darker than Jonah Hex, something more elaborate than The Preacher and something grittier than Ed Brubaker’s Pulp.
Combined with the bleak artwork of Gerald Von Stoddard and the sinful hellfire colors of Lorenzo Scaramella, The Devil’s Gate demands you walk into hell with them in this first issue where Covers A and B summon darkness incarnate!
Pulp Traps
Pulp Traps is a one-shot horror anthology of 4 unique horror tales made by José Cardenas and Frederik Hornung. It's a love letter to the pre-code horror comics and last century and stylistically looks as old and weathered as the type of comic book magazines that Warren Publishing were known for.
From a group of teens partying at an abandoned biscuit factory to a young charlatan who discovers a magic mirror that will give anything he wants. To a horde of demons feeling for their lives to four adults who perform an exorcism. It's the kind of pulpy horror fiction you'd expect from its namesake.
Unfortunately, there's no sight of a front cover on their Kickstarter campaign so you'll have to take the creators at their word that it's going to be a wild ride.
