EnglishIs There a POSTAL Comic Book Series from Running With Scissors?
Updated
Yes. Running With Scissors announced its first-ever POSTAL comic book series, produced in partnership with Roditeli Productions, and the debut series was set to launch on Kickstarter in summer 2026. If you want the comics themselves, the primary route is that Kickstarter campaign; if you want comic-related merchandise now, the official shop already lists art prints and ashcan variants.
What Was Announced
Running With Scissors describes the partnership as bringing the POSTAL universe to comic books "for the first time in the franchise's nearly 30-year history." The announcement is dated May 19, 2026, and states the debut series would launch on Kickstarter that summer, giving fans "a new way to experience" the franchise.
Two details matter if you're deciding whether to follow it:
- Publisher/partner: Roditeli Productions, working with Running With Scissors.
- Distribution model: Kickstarter first, not a standard comic-shop solicitation as described in the announcement.
The announcement does not list issue counts, writers, artists, cover ratios, or shipping dates beyond the summer 2026 Kickstarter launch. Treat those as unknown until the campaign page appears.
Comic-Related Items Already in the Shop
The official shop carries several comic-adjacent products alongside the studio's games and collectibles. Prices below are as listed on the site.
| Item | Price | Purchase type |
|---|---|---|
| POSTAL Comic Art Print Action Comic #1 Homage | $30.00 | Read more (detail page) |
| POSTAL Comic Art Print Akira Homage | $30.00 | Add to cart |
| POSTAL Comic Ashcan Blind Bag | $30.00 | Add to cart |
| POSTAL Comic Ashcan Cover A | $30.00 | Add to cart |
A few practical notes on these:
- The Ashcan Blind Bag and Ashcan Cover A are separate listings at the same price, so you can buy a known cover or gamble on the blind bag.
- The Action Comic #1 Homage print shows "Read more" rather than "Add to cart," which suggests it may be sold out or not currently purchasable — check the product page before assuming availability.
- Art prints are prints, not the comic itself. If your goal is reading the new series, the Kickstarter is the relevant channel, not these listings.
Other Shop Items You'll See Alongside Them
For context on what else the store sells, the same page lists Talking El Perro Loco Doll ($25.00), POSTAL Redux OST Double CD Digipack ($25.00), Krotchy Youtooz 9in Plush ($50.00), and a POSTAL 2 Christmas Ornament ($12.00). The shop also runs a "Subscribe" link for updates, which is the low-effort way to hear when the comic campaign goes live.
How to Actually Get the Comics
- Watch the Kickstarter. The announcement names Kickstarter as the launch platform for the debut series. Search for the campaign under Running With Scissors or Roditeli Productions once summer 2026 arrives.
- Subscribe for announcements. The site's Subscribe link is the studio's own channel for news, useful if you don't want to monitor Kickstarter manually.
- Buy existing comic merch from the shop if you want something physical now — the ashcan covers and art prints are available at $30.00 each, subject to the availability caveat above.
What's Still Unclear
The source material doesn't specify the number of issues, creative team, page counts, variant covers, or whether the comics will later reach retail or digital storefronts. It also doesn't state whether Kickstarter backers get exclusive covers. If any of those determine your decision, wait for the campaign page rather than assuming.
