I raised $25,000 on Kickstarter for a film project:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/596784753/thane-of-east-county
I would say that 90% of the funding came from friends/family/acquaintances of mine and of the actors and crew on our film. Part of what helped make it successful was we had our whole team (~40 people) in place before running the project and all of them helped push the campaign to their own social networks.
I went through every Facebook friend and every email address I had, no matter how tenuous the contact was, and sent a personal message to each starting with "hi remember me! [Personalized anecdote], [copy/paste block of text about the project] [request for money and social media shares]". I did that in the first week, the I did AGAIN in the third week.
It is my firm belief that Kickstarter donors are almost always people that already know and like you. Do you have 1 million twitter followers? Or have you already produced something people have liked? Those people already know and like you... If you don't have that, it's gonna be friends & family. And you have to spend the whole campaign WORKING to make contact with them all and get that $$$.
This is true of films - I know a number of people that have done this. I don't know anyone who has done a comic Kickstarter but my guess would be that it's the same deal.
The rules are totally different for products/gadgets that people actually want to buy, rather than artistic products. And occasionally something goes viral like the potato salad guy. But IMO, you really shouldn't plan on that.
Oh, and if you want to see the film we made, it's on Amazon Prime (we changed the name...)
