A comic anthology created by several starry-eyed university students that spans the genres of fantasy, horror, sci-fi, and "funnies."

Stay tuned for updates, including an image gallery, teaser pages, a video, and more!

"Balls to the Wall" is an anthology that is a result of the combined efforts of some starry-eyed art students with a passion for comics. From sci-fi to horror, from fantasy to "funny pages" comic strips, all of the contributing artists have a unique story and style to contribute.

Aside from getting our art out to the world in a fun and interactive manner, this project is meant to be a learning experience for all of us. Completely self-driven, we hope to gain more insight into the comic creation experience and self-motivation, as well as evolve as artists and storytellers.

The funds we hope to raise with Kickstarter will cover the cost of printing, as well as a table, room, and board at a small convention where we hope to sell. We are simply trying to raise the bare minimum to cover our costs, that way we can still afford ramen noodles and get this project off the ground. Any extra funds raised will go toward publishing a second anthology where more artists will be added and hopefully higher quality publishing will be available. 

We hope that you can help us bring this varied and fun comic anthology to realization! Thank you!
