Keep - This is a character page,
Ethan Van Sciver does not explain the character in any way and does not elaborate on the publication history. I will Edit
Cyberfrog to include a short character bio.
EDIT: 'Cyberfrog:Bloodhoney' is the highest grossing crowdfunded comic to date, which makes it of note. There is no shortage of coverage of Cyberfrog's publication and sales (as you have brought to my attention by correcting me about
Ethan Van Sciver's bibliography) I have added to the sales information for 'Cyberfrog: Bloodhoney', and will add sales information for the original Cyberfrog publications as I find it. The only thing that is not accurate about the 'sales' figures is that the number of backers is less than the number of units sold (because several perks give you 2 or more copies of the book). There are 3 crowdfunding campaigns for Cyberfrog: Bloodhoney (for variant covers)and all of them are listed in the references of the page but I'll add them more clearly. I don't feel like there's any way to argue that Cyberfrog is not, now more than ever, highly notable. I also fail to see how an indiegogo page, which clearly shows the book people paid for, how many people paid for it and how much money was raised isn't an independent source?

If you look at the Bibliography section of Van Sciver's page, there's a list of all the Cyberfrog comics he's made, including the publisher, length of run, and publication dates. Your additions, while well-meaning, do not address the concerns raised here. You need to find evidence that Cyberfrog is notable, such as detailed reviews or coverage of its publication and sales.

I'm not sure how you added sales data for a book that, as of twelve days ago,
wasn't published... I also revised the information you added to the article - you said "nearly $1 million", but the sources you provided say "half a million"

Redirect to
Ethan Van Sciver for now, with no prejudice against restoring it at a later date if its revival leads to more notability. As it stands now, none of the sources can be considered substantial coverage in reliable, secondary sources. There is a decent chance that the comic could garner more substantial coverage in the future, however, and a Redirect would allow the article's history to be retained.
