Rippaverse Gaming? | THREE New Books | Comics on the RISE

The Rippaverse Animation Fund explained: what it funds, how it’s structured, and what it actually buys. Plus the three new books now up for pre-order.

In this stream I’m breaking down the Rippaverse Animation Fund — why we’re doing it, where the money goes, and what independent animation actually costs when you’re financing it yourself instead of waiting on a studio.

I’m also covering the three books that just went up for pre-order:
