HAPPY NEW YEAR & QUICK UPDATE!
over 2 years ago – Fri, Jan 07, 2022 at 09:52:30 PM

The comics arrived (as noted earlier), and the Spider-Squirrel minifigs have also arrived. The Trash Panda plushies are en route. Digital rewards have been sent.

The only things we're still waiting for are the art prints and trading cards. The printer notified me that everything has been printed and packed except for the holofoil trading cards. This is a COVID illness related delay, so I expressed my sympathy and patience. They expect to have those printed next week and then shipped.

Your rewards are coming soon!!

More Proofs! Plushies Update!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Dec 23, 2021 at 12:11:36 PM

You Already Saw the Book Proofs

Now I just received the trading card and prints digital proofs. Things are moving along nicely! Once all physical rewards are received I will begin immediate fulfillment. The plushies will ship at a later date.

PLUSHIES!!!!!

About 7mins before I started typing this update I received an email on the Trash Panda plushies -- they are on-schedule (phew!) and should be completed before February! As soon as they are received, I'll begin shipping those lil cuties out to our Backers who ordered one during the campaign or in the Backerkit store. Woohoo!

Keep Sending Letters!

Don't forget that you can continue to send letters to [email protected] asking questions, commenting on the story so far, speculating where it's going next, complaining about not seeing enough Trash Panda, inquire about the next great book, or just whatever your heart's desire (hopefully about a Xion Studios property). Also, we're going to run a "Name The Letters Column" contest in 2022, so feel free to get an early start on ideas! Remember to mark your emails, "OK TO PRINT" if you want it to appear in the letters column.

Thank You, Again.

I just need to continue to express my gratitude to you for believing in, backing, and supporting this mini-series as fervently as you have! It's a great comfort to small indie guys like myself. And it paves the way for more good stuff down the road! Spider-Squirrel #3 is almost complete (the colors have taken MONTHS, but I'm hoping to get them back by 12/31, then go to letters and final edits). Milestone #1 is being colored right now, and the Alpha-Elite one-shot is coming along! Plus, The Fundamentals continues to be a terrific work-in-progress that I just cannot wait to get in your hands. I'm really excited about what 2022 brings!

For those who celebrate it, Merry Christmas, and for everyone I wish you a very safe and delightfully Happy Holidays season wherever you are! Spend some extra time with your family, friends, and loved ones as we close out 2021. You have been amazing, and I'm truly fortunate to be able to do this with you.

Best to all!

Proofs!!!

Hey, all! Despite supply chain issues and all that jazz, we’re still moving forward! I received the proofs to our books two days earlier than expected and I’ve already read through & approved them! Woo!!!

Pics below!

Also, I’m shipping out digital rewards weekly, just to make sure everyone ultimately gets their stuff. Make sure BackerKit is white listed in your email client so you don’t have it dumped into Spam or Junk.

We’re moving along!! I’ll send one more update before Christmas!

Best to all! Charlie

Updated Fish Lee Wallpaper!
over 2 years ago – Sun, Dec 19, 2021 at 08:58:52 PM

Mister Fish wanted to make sure you had THE BEST version of his cover as your wallpaper, so he expanded the file to fill the full 1920x1080 desktop space properly! Enjoy!!

Also, I marked the character list to include "Steelwolf" when it's supposed to read "Steel Wolf". Please update your mental maps accordingly. 😉

Best,

Charlie
