Comicsgate crowdfunding in 2025, is lagging behind 2024 with no campaign on Fund My Comic or Inideogo launched year to date hitting the $100,000 threshold in 2025 funding. Changes to the report this week, no Kickstarter campaigns are included in this report - as Comicsgate appears to be sustaining a Kickstarter boycott/embargo. The Comicsgate crowdfunding with the largest funding total in 2025, is Van Scivers "CYBERFROG: DARK HARVEST. LAST CHANCE! 7 DAYS!" which raised $59,686. Refund requests and complaints are beginning to fill the comments sections of Van Sciver's overdue campaigns.
