Invader Comics has launched a Kickstarter for the second and final installment of their atmospheric horror two-parter, “Animals,” written by Keith Foster and illustrated by Ed Condon (Issue 1) and Nico Mieres (Issue 2). In addition to backing the project for Issue 2, readers will also get the debut issue and some bonus goodies.
Animals follows Pacific Northwest wildlife ranger Dan Simmons and sheriff Jack Bertrand as they try to discover what is causing a mutant virus to infect and reanimate the local wildlife. The animals are already attacking humans, and things are getting worse faster than the humans can keep up.
“I really wanted to explore the dynamic between the human and animal kingdoms, and what happens when that delicate balance is upset,” Foster said. “I wanted to tackle a terrifying horror that could shock and entertain, while simultaneously tackling deeper issues. Animals is the by-product of that exploration, filtered through the lens of Nico’s dark, noir-inspired art. I’m excited to share with you the conclusion to this story that I’ve been developing for the past year.”
“We’re committed to developing a space where different creators can explore different genres and tell the stories that burn in their hearts,” said Michael Perkins, Editor-in-Chief of Invader Comics. “In addition to being one of the core members of the Invader team, Keith’s work on Kodoja and the Three Protectors has been a huge success, as well as the first issue of Animals, which sold out at the retailer level when it launched last year, so we’re honored to announce the conclusion of this saga as we up the stakes and ramp up the scares.”
Check out the extended preview for Animals #2 below.
Kickstarter backers will get a digital or physical copy of Animals #1-2, a limited edition black and white cover by Carlo Romero, the complete digital collection of Foster, a horror bundle from Invader Comics, and more.
The Animals #1-2 Kickstarter campaign is live now and will run until Monday, July 15th at 12pm ET.
