F.A.Q.
Why 'Pesto' Comics? +
Pesto, the sauce, is a pulpy mixture that goes great on pasta, bread, or anything you could imagine. Much like the sauce, we create PULP that goes good with any genre. We aim to add flavor to your reading stack.
Where is this comic being made? +
This is a worldly effort! We collaborate with incredible artists from all over the globe—from Italy to Brazil—but the books themselves are produced and published right here in Canada.
Why release on Kickstarter before stores? +
In today's difficult comic market, ensuring artists get paid fair rates is our top priority. We rely on both direct-to-consumer avenues, like Kickstarter, and the Direct Market to make it feasible. Crowdfunding helps cover production costs upfront so we can maintain the highest quality possible when we bring the books to store shelves.
Why support on Kickstarter vs. waiting for the store? +
You can support us wherever you feel
comfortable! We want to give everyone
options—and we love comic shops. However, to
make the Kickstarter campaigns special, we
offer exclusive variant covers,
behind-the-scenes treats, and direct
interaction that you won't find in stores.
Additionally, some books, like
Naked Kaiju Woman, may not be
appropriate for all store shelves and are
available primarily via Kickstarter for the
time being.
Do you accept submissions? +
Currently, we are not accepting unsolicited pitches. We prefer to work with artists we approach directly.
Where do you ship? +
For our Kickstarter campaigns, we ship WORLDWIDE! Our direct market comics are available at any stores supplied by Lunar, Universal, or Diamond UK (which is nearly everyone!).
What is your release schedule? +
We aim to release comics on Kickstarter and have a book on your comic shop shelves every month.
