Ethan Van Sciver just dragged ALL CAPS Comics onto a brand-new crowdfunding stage — and the opening night numbers are already loud.

Cyberfrog: Nothin’ Weird #1, bundled with a last-chance pass at Wrath of H3LL3PHANT, is live on Back Me Bro as the imprint’s first campaign on the platform. As of the evening of September 14, 2026, the live project page showed $53,823.29 pledged toward a $500 flexible goal — about 10,765% funded with 576 backers. The clock runs to Wednesday, September 23, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. America/Toronto (roughly nine days left at write time). Flexible funding means backers are charged at checkout; the tiny goal was never the story. The turnout is.

New Cyberfrog issue, old-school ALL CAPS muscle

Nothin’ Weird #1 is billed as a fresh 32-page comic and the kickoff to a six-part miniseries, written and drawn by Van Sciver.

The pitch drops readers into a pre-invasion Cyberfrog timeline — the 1996 stretch of grunge, flannel, and MTV — before the Vyzpzz Invasion of 1998, with Trikk Rhan, Daduhran, and Heather Swain tangled up in crime and super-villain chaos while the war with Skorr Pinhra, RumbleBee, Amik Sinn, and Dystopia takes shape.

Cover options are part of the sell. Van Sciver supplies the main cover plus a Heatherella Vampirella-tribute variant and AW-SOM variants (including a limited line-art run). Shane Davis contributes a new Cyberfrog variant cover — exactly the kind of ex-pro guest shot RCG watches for. Estimated delivery on the new book is December 2026. Van Sciver’s campaign note said Nothin’ Weird #1 was about 75% complete at launch and aimed to be finished within the first 30 days.

Stretch goals already matter here. The first sticker-set target sat at $25,000; with the live total north of $53K, that gate is long gone, and Van Sciver promised additional stretch beats every $10K after — trading cards and print upgrades among them.

Last chance: Wrath of H3LL3PHANT

The co-feature is the closer. Wrath of H3LL3PHANT — written by John Borelli and Van Sciver, with art by Scotty Richard, colors by Jason Wright, and letters by Eric Weathers — is described as finished and headed to the printer.

It is a Rated-R Comicsgate Arena horror book about a mother circus elephant who claws back from a fiery grave for revenge. Not for kids. Very on-brand if your taste runs slashers and elephants.

New to this campaign is a Team Up cover by Van Sciver (colors by Wright) that puts Daisy alongside Cyberfrog and Salamandroid, plus a limited Team Up line-art variant. Returning H3LL3PHANT covers still available include the Jon Malin main cover — another RCG-watchlist ex-pro credit — along with Sean Salter’s Salty variant and David Williams’ MAGA variant. Van Sciver is also offering last-chance Cyberfrog 2: Rekt Planet variants carried over from prior campaigns.

Bundle tiers run from single covers up through an all-items package at $275, with an optional $50 Van Sciver signature add-on for everything in an order.

Where this sits

Back Me Bro is still a new lane for ALL CAPS, and Van Sciver framed the launch as a reset step for the line. Independently, Comicsgate.org has been pointing readers at the same Back Me Bro URL around Van Sciver’s September 2026 Draw-Muh Stream Cyberfrog sessions — useful corroboration that the campaign is the active buy link, not a stale Indiegogo leftover.

As of evening September 14, 2026, the live scoreboard remains the one that matters: $53,823.29, 576 backers, flexible funding, and a hard stop around September 23. If you want the Shane Davis Cyberfrog variant, the Jon Malin H3LL3PHANT cover, or the Team Up send-off before H3LL3PHANT goes to press, that is the window.
