Arachna 5 — Follow the Next X53 Adventure
14 days ago
– Sat, Sep 19, 2026 at 02:22:41 PM
Hi everyone,
If you backed Goshawk & Falconet, chances are you already know the kind of superhero comics we like making at X53 Studios — dangerous situations, larger-than-life characters, adult humor, and heroes who don’t always make the safest decisions.
Our next Kickstarter is Arachna 5: The Mother of Monsters, and the pre-launch page is now live.
Arachna follows Jennie Janus, a young woman trying to deal with work, debt and ordinary life while sharing it with Arachna — her powerful, unpredictable spider-powered alter ego.
In the new story, the woman who created Arachna has returned after years of failed attempts to recreate her.
She doesn’t want another copy anymore.
She wants the original back.
If you haven’t read Arachna before, you can jump straight into Volume 5, and we’ll also have complete Arachna 1–5 collections available for anyone who wants to start from the beginning.
We’ll also have special launch-day discounts during the first 24 hours.
If that sounds like your kind of comic, hit Notify Me on Launch here.
It costs nothing to follow, and Kickstarter will let you know the moment the campaign goes live.
Thanks again for backing Goshawk & Falconet and helping us continue building X53 Studios.
