The project adapts all eight episodes into a stand-alone comic experience, with exclusive collector editions and unique merchandise set to captivate the established fanbase and expand the series’ reach. This marks Glitch Productions’ first-ever English-language comics collaboration.
The “Murder Drones: The Official Graphic Novel” Kickstarter campaign offers fans multiple collectible formats, including hardcover editions, slipcases with specialized artwork, and even an extremely limited VHS tape edition. Notably, the premium and merchandise tiers leverage the show’s visual identity and lore, appealing to collectors and longtime followers of the animated property.
