It’s officially Summer! Astronomically speaking, course….

On Tuesday, Alterna Comics launched a pre-order crowdfunding campaign for their Summer lineup of books. The campaign is well on its way to being fully funded, having raised nearly $4 thousand at the time of this writing.

Through the Indiegogo campaign page, you can pick up all six of Alterna’s Summer issues, or simply pick and choose the titles you want. There are also add-on options to pick up previous issues within a series if you want to catch up.

Here’s the full Summer 2022 lineup of available books:

Alterna Comics Single Issues ($1.99 cover price; comics on newsprint):

• Baron Rat #3 (The last issue of the MR. CRYPT universe. Baron Rat makes his way to Cheese Land. Humor Adventure; Troy Vevasis, Aleksandar Jovic) (All Ages)

In addition to the comics, there are several Alterna items available as perks or add-ons, including an Alterna Comics logo trading card binder, sketch cards, a print set, sticker, and as we mentioned above, plenty of back issues if you want to catch up.

All physical backers will also receive two new “Alterna Series” trading cards, this time featuring T-Bird from T-Bird & Throttle and Jo from Downcast.

It is also worth noting that there is an additional shipping charge starting at $5 for backers in the United States.
