This dark fantasy retelling of The Odyssey just hit "Launch Ready" on our pre-launch feedback platform — thought this community would appreciate it

I run a pre-launch feedback platform for indie comic creators called Comic Launch Lab, where creators upload their work before their Kickstarter goes live to collect honest reader ratings.

This one just earned a launch-ready score and I thought it deserved a wider audience:

Odysseus — In Defiance of the Gods by Neil 'Bhuna' Roche

156-page A4 graphic novel retelling Homer's Odyssey as a dark fantasy. Mature content, B&W with selective color, fully complete and print-ready. Neil's been in UK small press for 15+ years and just placed 3rd in the ComicScene Awards for UK indie comics.

The Kickstarter hasn't launched yet but the project page has sample pages and the full pitch:
https://comiclaunchlab.com/projects/new-project-0yfir

If you leave a rating it genuinely helps him know what's landing before he goes live. That's the whole point of the platform.

I built a free tool to test your comic pitch before you launch — would love feedback from creators here

Hey everyone — I'm a developer and comic fan who kept seeing campaigns struggle not because the comic was bad, but because the pitch, cover, or sample pages didn't land with readers.

So I built Comic Launch Lab — a free site where you can post your comic project (cover, pitch, sample pages) and collect real reader feedback before your Kickstarter goes live. Things like:

  • Would readers actually back this?
  • Does the cover grab attention?
  • Is the pitch clear?
  • How does the art score with your target audience?

You get a readiness score based on actual reader votes and ratings — so you have real data going into your campaign instead of just hoping for the best.

I just launched it and I'm looking for creators who want to be the first to post their projects and stress-test it. No charge, no catch — I want to see if this is actually useful for people in the trenches.

If you've got a project in the works or are gearing up for a launch, I'd love to have you try it: comiclaunchlab.com

Happy to answer any questions about how it works.
