Latest Updates from Our Project:
Final Week!
over 1 year ago
– Wed, Jun 11, 2025 at 11:04:27 AM
As we enter our FINAL WEEK of the campaign, we've unlocked our fourth stretch goal, adding another sticker to eligible physical reward tiers! That bonus bundle is really starting to fill out, know what I mean, know what I mean?
Now that's more than a stocking stuffer!
But we're not done yet! There's still time on that clock, which means that there's time yet to unlock even more and build that bundle to absolutely monstrous proportions.
I was asked if it was possible to get blank Sketch Cover Editions of A Polycule of Mars issue 2, and I'm pleased to say that YES. That is now an available (though very limited) add-on.
A perfect canvas for your favorite artist
I've also been asked about more expansive stretch goals. Things like trading cards or standees and while I love these ideas, they require a bit more development time than I've had during this Kickstarter. I will definitely be circling back to those ideas in the future, however.
The Campaign Ends TUESDAY AT 4PM EST!
That's it for now! I'll be back with more updates as we close out this campaign and move into the printing and fulfillment stages. Until next time, travelers!

Other Comics to Check Out...
Smut #3 - the Series Finale!
If you're looking for humor with your sex, you should check out Smut. It's a slice-of-erotic-life comedy about three friends, their relationship troubles, the promises they make to resolve them, and the sexy they have along the way.
Don't let the title fool you, Smut is more than just sex and lovely art. At its core, it's a story of difficult emotions and the sometimes-awkward minefield of navigating relationships. The characters are shockingly grounded and their troubles all too relatable. It's definitely worth checking out!
Aces and Aros: An Asexual and Aromantic Comic Book Anthology
At the other end of the spectrum, there's Aces and Aros, an anthology about asexual and aromantic characters by asexual and aromantic creators.
Anthologies can be tricky things, all too often containing only one or two good stories amongst the rest that just don't quite measure up. But this anthology is packed with incredible creators, writers, artists telling stories very personal to them. It's a recipe for excellence.
Third Stretch Goal Unlocked!

Sands above! We just unlocked our Third Stretch Goal! What an amazing way to close out our second week! It still blows my mind that this is only the second week of the campaign. We still have two more weeks to go. Somehow, we're only halfway through this campaign, and it shows no sign of slowing!
Having crossed $20k, we're now adding yet another print to all eligible physical reward tiers!
final print will be uncensored
Continuing with the zero-g theme! Team building is important, after all. The Stretch Goal bundle is really starting to stack up!
And to give you a peak at our next Stretch Goal, we're going to add to that sticker collection! What do we think Alvarez is saying? No cheating you who have already read the comic.
Nice.
Again. Wow. What a great way to kick off the weekend! I cannot possibly thank you all enough for your need for sexy green folk. Without you, this would be a very ho-hum campaign.
Until the next update,
-Garth
For Your Further Reading Consideration...
Money Shot: Big Bang!
A team of scientists turned intergalactic porn stars get a message from the future warning them of the anti-sex death cult that takes over the universe banning everything fun! But with each attempt to prevent the arise of the God of Fucking Everything and his tyrannical Untouched, they seem to hasten the future they hope to avoid. Can the XXXplorers save the future for sex and good times?
If you love A Polycule of Mars, you are probably going to also love Money Shot! It's been a wild thing for me getting to work on this title with Tim Seeley and Patton Oswalt. Issue 1 is already in comic shops, with a lot more to come!
Second Stretch Goal Unlocked!

Smashing Stretch Goals!
Hot Dang! Over the weekend we smashed through that second stretch goal, putting a new salacious print into each eligible physical reward pledge! Just like the exclusive print of Jhailee, this print will be 6x9" on a luscious satin finish paper.
So salacious, I can't show you the whole thing here!
A little crew bonding is important on those long, lonely trips between worlds. This is a little "what if..." a pleasant daydream to pass the time. But is it Commander Brinks' or Sarah Cheong's dream?
"Is there more," you cry? You betcha there is! We're well on our way to unlocking ANOTHER scandalous print. What could it possibly depict? Which would you like to see most?
That's it for now, but I will no doubt be back soon with more exciting tantalizing news!
Before I Go... Reading Recommendations
Death Transit Tanager
Space is vast and dying alone a hazard of the spacer lifestyle. Enter Tanager, a young woman who shepherds lost souls into the here-after.
If you haven't checked out Karl Kerschl's Death Transit Tanager, you should treat yourself and give it a gander. Karl is currently Kickstartingthe third issue of the Metroid/Hellboy inspired comic and it's got only 2 Days left!
In the days of yore when the internet was young and webcomics roamed the untamed wires. Before crowd funding, before social media, there were web rings. Just little groups of independent comic creators linking to each other in mutual support, directing readers in a "if you liked this, you'll like that" kind of way.
Well, those days are back baby! Spice Rack is a group of adult webcomic creators offering some of the finest spiciest tales on the web. There's a little something for everyone, so give it a look!
Funded In Under Six Hours!

THANK YOU!
Wow. WOW! I need to give a huge thank you to everyone for your support! Not only did we fund this campaign in under six hours, but we've already unlocked our first stretch goal within the first 24!
I admit I was a little gun shy launching this Kickstarter, but your overwhelming desire for tall green hotties has given me such life I cannot explain. I love telling stories. I love drawing. And I truly wouldn't be able to do that without an audience as wonderful as you. So, truly. TRULY. Thank you.
Up next: STRETCH GOALS!
Now that we've funded the campaign, guaranteed issue 2 coming to print, it's time to sweeten the deal! I've a number of stretch goals planned that will give extra goodies to those who pledge for physical rewards, the first of which is already unlocked! Now you'll be getting a second sensual sticker!
Empress Marehsh Sticker (artwork subject to change)
We're well on our way to unlocking the second stretch goal, and as I've said I've plans for many more! But let me know if there's something specific you're hoping to see, a stretch goal you'd love to unlock.
Clarifying the Early Bird Tier
It's come to my attention that I goofed in setting up the Early Bird reward tier. The image and the description are correct, but the tier doesn't list all the items you actually get pledging to the tier. For maximum clarification I'm reiterating here: The Early Bird Tier is a discounted version of The Martian Collection, meaning that you get:
A Polycule of Mars issue 1 (print and pdf)
A Polycule of Mars issue 2 (print and pdf)
The Campaign Exclusive Print
The Campaign Exclusive Sticker
And all Stretch Goals
The Early Bird tier will remain available until 4pm EST today, May 20th 2025, if you'd like to change your pledge. My apologies for any confusion.
Onward, Space Cadet!
That's it for the moment, but I suspect I'll have lots of exciting news to be sharing with you all again very soon. Thank you all again. So very much. Talk with you soon!
