I am losing faith folks... Here is a copy of my post over on the KS campaign... I don't mean to discourage anyone else, just felt I needed to update my position since my earlier comments were more optimistic and supportive of the campaign overall.

I have tried, really hard, to like this campaign. I have held out hope that it will improve and that I'll begin to sense the value in this project from a gamer's perspective.
I backed at "The Works" level hoping that it would prove to be the best method of getting some nice minis and maybe some other cool extras. I was a little leery that out of the gate a signed lithograph was the big sell. But I figured, surely there is plenty more coming to sweeten the pot, I mean this is already $50 dollars over and above the possibly over-priced $100 base game. Most campaigns that price like that include big-box expansions and the like when you pledge the extra $50+.
So now we are basically two-weeks in and up to three lithographs and a Kevin Eastman ally card? Oh and a mini-campaign revolving around the Eastman studio? And a few mousers which really should be part of the base game in the first place.
I think we all get it, it's a comic-based game. So, maybe art-work and meta-homages to the source material is appropriate, I don't know. I am sure there are fan boys/girls out there for whom this is all amazing content, but I don't feel like it really serves the game. It seems way more about serving Eastman's ego...*Sigh*... I am trying to like this campaign but I admit I am becoming disenchanted at this point. Maybe I am spoiled by some other "Big" campaigns, but for $150 (Plus shipping), I feel like I should be starting to see some value and I'm not feeling it.
We'll see how it goes, I won't remove my pledge until right at the end of the campaign (if I do), but I admit I am losing hope that this campaign will improve.
Again, I'm not intending to be disrespectful here, just putting my thoughts out there for the creators to (hopefully) see and consider.
