It’s been a while since I’ve recommended a Kickstarter project, but today we’re going to have a little Déjà vu and suggest you go support a collection of a comic book I first recommended (as a Kickstarter project) back in 2023.

I’ve been telling you about Anthony Stokes’ comics for a few years now. He’s one of the most exciting young storytellers to turn up on the scene, and I loved his futuristic pro-wrestling drama/satire, Tap or Die. Readers get to follow the adventures of Domino from his childhood as a fan, to adulthood when he has to face the stark realities of the business side of laying the smack down on people.

TAP OR DIE is chockful of action, but it’s also loaded with humor, mindgames and a few adult situations.  It’s about perseverance, battling adversity, and REVENGE. The book has lots for wrestling fans in the form of references to classic wrestlers, but non-wrestling fans will enjoy the high-octane action and character drama. There’s something here for everyone. Now, for those who missed out on Tap or Die, or those who just skipped it because it was in black-and-white, the book is newly-colored and collected as an 80-page trade paperback or deluxe hardcover.  All three issues are included, with bold new colors.

After Decay and Intrusive Thoughts, I was sold just seeing Anthony’s name on the book.  The fact that I follow pro wrestling is just gravy.  If you missed out on his previous works you’ll have the chance to play catch-up with add-ons during the campaign, plus there are variant covers, prints, your choice of softcover or hardcover and even some spicy variants, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Written by Anthony Stokes, drawn by Emilio Uterera, and with incredible new colors, Tap or Die is an absolute gem of comic storytelling. I have all three issues, but I’m expecting a whole new experience reading it in color.

This is a short campaign with just a few days left to contribute. This book was already fully-funded before I had a chance to tell you about it, the first day, in fact. If you want to see why, Kick In and find out.
