Bundled Extra: Atomic Robo Kickstarter Immediately Funded

According to this article at Rich Johnston's Bleeding Cool site, it took approximately two hours for an Atomic Robo-related crowd-funder to meet its goals. I don't know that that's news, particularly, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to occasionally spotlight one of these comics crowd-funders that meets with strong success. The formula here seems to be: known quantity + property familiar to the kind of folks that might fund something like this given a chance + modest goals + not skimping on the incentives. I go hot and cold on crow-funders, more for their general effect on what gets published than as an indictment of people finding a way to publish, but I would imagine some folks being happier that this one exists than they would be if it didn't.
