State of the Bug - May 2024
Lots of fun!
Hello, my friends! It’s Mike Tener (CEO/Creative Director) of Bad Bud Media.
Things are going great on our end. We just launched two new Bad Bug Midnight titles:
A terminally ill school teacher gets her hands on a miracle cure with a horrifying ingredient: the blood of Medusa. NSFW.
Having her life ruined by a gang of deranged serial killers, Kate moves to a small town to start over. Spoiler: it doesn't work out.
And Monster Girl Beach Party #3: Halloween Special (whew!) is still going strong with only SIX DAYS LEFT. This is my favorite cover (Patty Arroyo) from the campaign below:
Beyond that, we’re getting ready to launch several mainstream titles with Grandma Chainsaw 4, Undercity Tales 2, and Don’t Talk to the Dead 2. We’ll be sharing more soon, but for now, enjoy these covers. (You can also follow Grandma Chainsaw 4’s campaign by clicking the link here)

***A reminder that She Brings A Devil is no longer a Bad Bug Media title. For further information, follow Ryan Cummins (creator) and his newsletter.
This is a friendly reminder that our Patreon will go live in June. Here are the things you can expect:
There will be tiers for erotic and non-erotic titles.
Regardless of your choice, you will get one exclusive variant cover each month for various titles in our library. The artists we have lined up are fantastic. These will be numbered and limited to the amount of backers for that respective tier.
There will be a tier where you can receive both variants.
There will be monthly LEWD sticker rewards and digital offerings as well.
We will also have weekly live streams where you can meet and chat with us, the artists, the models, and everyone else who has collaborated with us.
Lastly, we will have Patreon-exclusive launches for specific series, bypassing Kickstarter altogether. Admittedly, these will be fluid and won’t be every month.
Bugs and Kisses,
Mike
