"Gail Simone and Jim Calafiore have unveiled a new Kickstarter project. The pair are funding the Leaving Megalopolis standalone graphic novel through the crowdsourcing platform, reports Robot 6.  Calafiore illustrated the latter half of Simone&amp;#039;s Secret Six series for DC Comics, which concluded last year in the run-up to the New 52 relaunch. The book follows a group of survivors who attempt to flee their home city after its superhero protector are transformed into homicidal maniacs. &amp;quot;Our groundbreaking work on Secret Six was only the beginning,&amp;quot; reads the Kickstarter description. &amp;quot;If you thought that was dark...&amp;quot; Mark Waid will provide an introduction, with the creators hoping to secure Secret Six colourist Jason Wright for the project.
