Top of the Line: dark monster-hunting comic

Pittsburgh artist Daniel McCloskey is crowdfunding Top of the Line, a graphic novel about monster fighting. A teaser's up at his homepage.

"Top of the Line is the story of a kid growing into a hero and, in the process, a terrible bigoted man. More than human but less than a god, he fills the same space as the beasts he hunts, and in a monster-fighting saga, a monster is a dangerous thing to be."

You may remember Daniel as the founder of The Cyberpunk Apocalypse, a project aimed at aiding local artists and writers, which was raided for no given reason when Pittsburgh hosted the G20 summit. He's offering an unusual degree of transparency on his latest project, detailing where every penny will go, right down to his daily living expenses (including the acquisition of new teeth, recently lost in a bicycle accident.)
