Four of yesterday's five comics were NSFW. They still couldn't out-earn one guy reprinting a 50-year-old photojournalist.

Yesterday's 27 launches ranged from an 861%-funded celebrity anthology to a debut graphic novel with zero backers on day one.

From HAZMATALOTL's relaunch to The Matron's third crowdfunding pass, yesterday was about repeat business more than first impressions.

Two of yesterday's launches set funding goals at $1 and $57 — a favorite move of creators who already know their audience will show up.

Two debut launches opened at $0 on day one, two launches fizzle with inanely high funding goals, and two launches by mid-level publishers blow up.

Seven of nine launches yesterday cleared the Comics I Like bar — the best hit rate this column has ever posted, and no, I'm not just going soft.

$161K in day-one pledges and NSFW picks with better numbers — and better pedigree — than half the men in capes. Tuesday's still undefeated.

One Alien Books mega-campaign outraised twelve other comics combined across three sleepy launch days.

Four of yesterday's twelve comics launches were adult content — and together they out-raised every all-ages campaign combined.
