Would you back This Indie Comic Crowdfund as is? Campaign Review! @Michael

Uploaded March 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

What's up everyone? Today, I'm doing something a little different: a campaign page review. I'm taking a look at Chris Peel's "The Nostradamus Effect" and offering my insights on this exciting new project in the world of indie comics. This comic book review will cover the artwork, funding goals, and the intriguing narrative that ties into the theme of predictions.

In this video, I dive into the FundMyComic crowdfunding campaign for The Nostradamus Effect #1, a gripping 26-page supernatural thriller from creator Chris Peel / Bootlegger Comics that launches their new Bootlegger Universe.

fundmycomic.com/campaign/959/the-nostradamus-effect

When an obsessed academic disturbs Nostradamus's tomb and unearths a mysterious relic, she unleashes a bizarre, ancient plague that defies modern science and begins rotting the future itself. A hardened CIA operative and a dedicated CDC doctor race against time to stop the outbreak before it spirals into global apocalypse, blending horror, prophecy, conspiracy, and high-stakes action.

I break down the campaign page, banners, art previews, stretch goals and rewards tiers—currently funded at just 14% funded of the $8300 goal (as of my recording). Is Chris presenting his comic in best possible light on the campaign page? I share my honest thoughts on what he's doing right, what excites me most, and any potential red flags.

If you love apocalyptic mysteries, plague horror, or comics that mix real-world prophecy with supernatural dread, this could be your next obsession.
