Legacy Comix Co-Founder, and Editor-In-Chief Patrick Hickey Jr. sounds off on the current state of the company.

2021 was wild but 2022 has been insane. A successful Kickstarter, the release of over nine print and physical books and licensing deals with a film company and the Bram Stoker Estate…that’s not even half of it.

On the surface- great growth for a first-year company- but I knew we were capable of so much more. It wasn’t a matter of imagining where we could be- it was there. Just not everyone saw it. Not everyone had the same vision. Truth be told- people bailed on us. Some ghosted us after signing contracts. Others took the sexy new way of silent quitting and did that to us.

But by the time the Summer came along- it was obvious to a few more people (besides myself) that we could be in an even better situation. The core team knew we had something special. The pieces were in place for us to make a move to get to where we needed to be and we did so- for the better of the company. It wasn’t easy. But it’s what had to be done. Looking back- it was easily the best thing that could have been done for everyone involved here.

Since then, we’ve added a few writers and artists and put together a Fall selection of books and digital comics, as well as trading cards that I think are our strongest yet. To say that I am proud of this team is a gross understatement. Everyone here right now is more than holding their weight. To each and every one of them- thank you for everything you do and continue to do for this company.

With such positive energy among our team now- the success has been contagious and organic. Since this Summer, we’ve had a ton of signings and had fantastic interactions with so many amazing people. If that wasn’t enough- we’ll have Afrim Gjonbalaj and Steve Cange at New York Comic Con and have podcasts and signings booked a month in advance.

If that all wasn’t enough- we’ve got a few other things in the works that I feel will make the Legacy brand even stronger in the months to come.

For a company that just released its first books five months ago- you can’t really ask for more, right?

Thank you to everyone who continues to support us- in any and every way you can. From a share or like on social media- to purchasing our books- everything counts and everything matters.

We’re on our way- because of you.

Now go have a great weekend at New York Comic Con. If you can’t get there, visit a local comic book shop or even better- check out our shop and go on an adventure

Legacy Comix is proud to announce their Post-Kickstarter Campaign!

What is it, you ask? Well, if you missed our Kickstarter, you have an opportunity to still get on the ground level of our company’s first assortment of releases. While not every Kickstarter reward will be available on the site, we have made several ready for purchase in the Legacy Comix shop.

“We want people to have access to our work and this is a great way for people to pre-order before the Kickstarter books are shipped,” Legacy Comix Chief Creative Officer John Svedese said. “Now people can still get whatever they want and will get their products the same time as those who pledged to our Kickstarter. They will also be available here before anywhere else like Amazon, Comixology or Barnes and Noble and local comic shops.”

Head here and start shopping now!

Reward Tiers Available:

Legacy Comix is proud to announce their first ever Kickstarter campaign has come to an end, with the publisher earning over three times their initial ask of $2,500, finishing with $7,529 in total pledges.

Adding a Dracula prequel to the reward tiers, as well as a hologram cover for John Svedese’s Athos, inked by Marvel’s Lebeau Underwood, a motion Condrey motion comic voiced by series creator Patrick Hickey Jr. and variant covers for Afrim Gjonbalaj’s The Legend of the Night Owl, The Job and KROOM, the team is confident they did everything they could to deliver and experience to their readers.

Add in a Sarita one-shot, written by Hickey and illustrated by Joshua Adams announced for the Spring and the team is excited about the future.

That’s not where the good news ends though. If you missed the Kickstarter, don’t worry!

“I’ve been a part of a few Kickstarters, but nothing ever like this,” Legacy Comix Editor-In-Chief Patrick Hickey Jr. said. “This was a marathon. But we delivered what we said and we were rewarded by a wild amount of support. We can’t ever thank every person who pledged enough.”

Come back to LegacyComix.com for more updates on Kickstarter rewards and how to get your hands on comics and merchandise if you didn’t pledge the Kickstarter.

“Expect updates on the site soon,” Legacy Comix Chief Creative Officer John Svedese said. “Our comics will be available both digitally and physically here. We’re all about making the site the one-stop destination for our readers and fans.”
