October 31, 2022
All Hollow’s Eve marks the final hours for Crusade Comics’ most successful original graphic novel to date, Billy Tucci’s Shi: Sakura which closes for good on Indiegogo Halloween Monday, October 31, 2022.
“It comes with great satisfaction and relief to close the Sakura campaign. Stated Tucci. “Everyone on #TeamShi has worked incredibly hard from the book’s inception to the current fulfillment. Mailing out thousands of books to our customers really is the most rewarding part of crowdfunding and we hope they enjoy Sakura as much as we did creating it.”
Utilizing both Indiegogo and Kickstarter crowdfunding platforms, Sakura’s #NoFanLeftBehind total returns have now topped $250K. Fulfillment continues while Tucci and crew prepare to launch his next crowdfunding campaign, Tucci and John Broglia’s Zombie-Sama: Dorm of the Dead in November.
