$300 for a Kickstarter in 8 hours might not be that good. Although it seems like most Kickstarters are trying to do things that are more expensive overall. There are ones that are hitting 30k-40k totals.

It's about 3/5ths of the way for each backer (who gets a comic) to get three comics. And 25 days left. I'm not sure what to expect, I assume it'll slow down as time passes. It's already been way more successful than I expected.

From what I've noticed in the gaming scene, kickstarter is an excellent way especially for indies to start on a project, whereas they normally might not have been able to.
In your case though, alot of people are already familiar with your work, they know you've put in great work, they know you are trustworthy so there is minimal to no risk that something would go wrong. Which certainly has happened in the gaming scene.
But if you got a prior good reputation and pedigree then even medium sized companies make a great use of kickstarter.
It's also a good way for anyone to test the waters and see if people are genuinely interested in your idea.
