About this episode

Comic fans, conspiracy lovers, sci-fi comedy junkies, and everyone who ever looked at Area 51 and said, "Yeah, something weird is going on over there," this one is for you. Today on the Comic Crusaders Podcast, Al Mega welcomes back writer Ernie Altbacker and illustrator Josh White to talk all about their newest Kickstarter campaign, AREA 51 STUDIOS Issue #3. The campaign is currently live, already funded, and still has time left for fans to jump in, back the project, and help push this cosmic comedy adventure even higher. AREA 51 STUDIOS takes one of the most famous conspiracy locations in pop culture and flips it into something hilariously fresh. In this universe, Area 51 is not just a secret government base hiding aliens. It is a working studio where aliens come to produce low-budget galactic entertainment. Reality shows, movies, genre chaos, and cosmic nonsense collide as alien producer Zephril Boon tries to turn humanity into must-see interstellar content. Issue #3 raises the stakes as ZB's show, "The Human Race," becomes a galactic sensation. That sounds like good news until you remember this is AREA 51 STUDIOS, where success usually comes wrapped in disaster, ego, satire, and one giant "wait, did they just put Earth in danger for ratings?" moment. Ernie Altbacker brings a deep background in animation, storytelling, and genre entertainment, while Josh White continues to expand the visual universe with more alien worlds, characters, environments, and comedic energy. Issue #3 is bigger than the previous chapters, giving the team more room to explore the characters, sharpen the comedy, and push the sci-fi madness further into the galaxy. This is the kind of indie comic project crowdfunding was built for: bold concept, passionate creators, direct fan support, and a story that feels like it escaped from a classified file and landed right on the comic rack. Tune in as Al Mega talks with Ernie and Josh about the journey behind AREA 51 STUDIOS, the growth of the series, the madness of crowdfunding, the fun of building a universe from scratch, and why fans should back Issue #3 before the campaign beams back up into the unknown. Support the Kickstarter, share the campaign, and help keep this alien studio rolling. The truth is out there but the comics are on Kickstarter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy3EGtdhRy0 Back AREA 51 STUDIOS Issue #3 on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ernie-altbacker/area-51-studios-issue-3 Secret Podcast Prints: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ernie-altbacker/area-51-studios-issue-3?secret_reward_token=afd27ddc Secret Podcast Digital: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ernie-altbacker/area-51-studios-issue-3?secret_reward_token=cfbfd694 Follow Ernie on: FaceBook: @ernie.altbacker X/Instagram/Linkedin @ErnieAltbacker Follow Josh on: Instagram: @ joshwhiteillustration Website: https://jwillustration.com Visit the Website at Area51comic.com Follow Comic Crusaders for more indie comics, creator interviews, reviews, and pop culture coverage. 💥 Don't forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and hit that bell to never miss the hype!
