Nate spent the last 10 years trying to move on from his childhood crush, Marissa “Izzy” Crawford. To get by and pay the bills, he did what anyone else would and got a job… as a contract killer.

Little did he know that his side gig would dredge up old wounds when he coincidentally gets assigned Izzy as his next target.

Will Nate follow through with his contractual obligations, or will he follow his heart and attempt to rekindle an old flame?

My Assassination Target is My Childhood Crush? is a 30+ page romantic comedy where unrequited love threatens to resolve itself in the most inconvenient way. This will be our second crowdfunded comic book — our first one, Forever Home, was successfully funded over at Kickstarter in late 2024!

By supporting this campaign, you’ll help fund our first print run of this story and some limited-edition variant covers.

Eventually we hope to release this comic as free-to-read on our website, however that will take a long while and the images will be lower resolution than a physical or digital copy. Plus, getting a copy through this campaign guarantees you a physical edition before it’s on sale anywhere else!

This is our second go-around, so we know a thing or two about how to run a successful comic book campaign. However, there are always chances of human or technological errors occurring that may delay printing or shipping of books. We’re fully dedicated to getting these rewards out as soon as we can!
