The Rise of the Femonsters Kickstarter campaign closed on August 31st. But it did not meet the funding goal. So what's next for the team of superhero monsters? Creator Alexander "Monstar" Raymond posted an update on Kickstarter about what the future holds for the comic book.

The Kickstarter campaign for Alexander "Monstar" Raymond's comic book - Rise of the Femonsters is almost finished. But we still need your help to make sure it reaches its funding goal. Consider pledging on Kickstarter to make sure this comic book comes to life at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/monstar/rise-of-femonsters-issue-1-horror-comic-book. Monstar shares his story about one of the comic's variant covers:  

MG Curves rendered this incredible cover. He was actually recommended to me by a client, but I knew his work before. I had seen his erotic pin-ups of well-known actresses and appreciated his unique style.

I reached out to him, and aside from providing a couple of reference images, I just let him do his thing. I really loved the colors he used, evoking a real Emanuele Taglietti vibe.

The artwork features RISE OF THE FEMONSTERS' main vampire Countess Dracula (inspired by Tanya Tate). The Countess is sitting back and enjoying a glass of ....wine (?)

She is wearing a sheer robe and cozily relaxing on the couch in her castle. If you look behind the Countess, you may notice her prized sword is right behind her.

This cover is available via a pledge or add-on and comes with a bonus trading card.

The campaign to get RISE OF THE FEMONSTERS comic book funded is open now through August 31st. Click here to back the comic book!

Countess Dracula, Lady Frankenstein, The Beastress...these are some of the characters you'll meet in the upcoming RISE OF THE FEMONSTERS comic book by Alexander "Monstar" Raymond.

Monstar is currently raising money via Kickstarter to complete the action/horror comic. A homage to Hammer Horror, Universal Monsters, and Marvel's Legion of Monsters, RISE OF THE FEMONSTERS features a gang of monsters battling it out for a mystic ornament that contains the secrets of life and death.

When talking about RISE, Monstar said it contained "A lot of action. I want this to feel like a thrill ride. I knew If I were going to make any type of impression and get people talking, I needed to come out swinging. The first draft was overwhelming. I had to work on the pacing to instill more character development and give the reader a chance to breathe. But, yeah, issue one should come with seatbelts."
