We Launched Our Comic Kickstarter LIVE! | The Chronicles of Panel Pete

In this special LIVE episode of Talking Comics, we celebrate a huge milestone — The Chronicles of Panel Pete is officially printed and the Kickstarter is LIVE!

We talk about our trip to the printer, what it was like seeing the comic come off the press for the first time, and everything included in the Kickstarter campaign.

You’ll also hear about the comic creation process, Kickstarter rewards, collectible sticker packs, stretch goals, and more as we hit the launch button live!

We are also joined by the artist Mike Alger and Cover Artist Colin Hawkins! They join in on a really fun game of This or That, you will not want to miss!

If you love indie comics, comic creation, and behind-the-scenes storytelling, this episode is for you.
