BK is reviewing the campaign build-out, so as soon as I get approval your Surveys will be coming out to you! A small handful of you still had funding errors, so make sure you check your account & payment info before it's too late -- I don't want you missing out!
Stray Still Needs You!
If you're a Nightwing or Daredevil or Robin fan you're going to love Vito Delsante's & Sean Izaakse's Stray comic! Stray volume one deals with the murder of his father in a whodunnit, coming-of-age style story. Volume two continues the titular character's growth and maturation while digging deeper into his crime-fighting partnership with his father, The Doberman. Volume three....?
Well, we'll know when you & I get it funded and get the series in our hands to enjoy!!!
And Now The FUN Begins!

Campaign is Over! The Work is Just Beginning...
And so now I'm even harder at work (it's after midnight here) getting your Rewards ready! Backerkit images are being processed, digital download files are being assembled for distribution, and print-ready files are being reviewed. Lots of work still to be done on my end, but you can sit back and relax while Kickstarter processes your backer funding. They'll distribute the funds to me in 14 days, which is when I'll order all of the physical rewards (comics, prints, trading cards, plushies, mini-figs, etc.)
Kickstarter has already begun processing funds, but if you changed banks, updated cards, or any other such change you may get a notification that your backing could not be processed. No worries! They'll try again, but you can fix that before they finish. You can update your payment settings either via the red banner at the top of your browser window in Kickstarter, or go to the profile pic at the top, click it, and then click Your Account>Profile>Payment methods. It's easy!
Album Artwork
The brilliance of Mikey Rukus is on full audio display at every All-Elite Wrestling event with every wrestler's entry into the ring. Soon, Backers who selected the Ultra-Digital Backer tier or higher will get to hear what Mikey delivered for our hero, Spider-Squirrel! I'll include the single artwork as well as the lyrics sheet in your downloads. Didn't back to get the song? NO WORRIES! You'll be able to purchase via the upcoming Backerkit shop!
Omega Sparx spittin' over a baseline by Rukus!
Speaking of BackerKit...
Yes, I'll be using BackerKit for fulfillment this time. That means easier digital downloads, more options to purchase add-ons, and a cleaner fulfillment for you all! COMING SOON!
Stray, Volume 3 is LIVE on Kickstarter!
If you haven't checked out Stray yet, it's a terrific coming-of-age comic book about a former sidekick hero struggling to deal with his father's murder while finding his own path out from under the shadow of his former superhero partner -- The Doberman, his father! Anger issues, drug concerns, and more line this story that's really about a boy and his dog... okay, kinda but not really. You should read it for yourself and find out!
Plus, if we can get Stray funded, you wonderful backers can get an exclusive print by Ariel Medel & Saul Shavanas featuring the trio of Stray, Spider-Squirrel, and Trash Panda!
WOW! Thank you!!

118%, 274 Backers, and We're Done...
... for now! I've got a TON of work in front of me, but I just needed to stop long enough to say THANK YOU to all of my Backers! You made this happen!
What Next?
It takes Kickstarter 14 days to finalize payments, but in that meantime I'll be working with Laurie Foster to assemble the Backerkit surveys and get things prepped for you all. Backerkit will allow you also to update your add-ons, so if you want to buy more covers, or Trash Panda plushies, or other such fun rewards, you'll still have a chance! Afterwards, I'll process book & print orders, and begin sending out surveys and delivering digital rewards and then physical rewards (note that plushies take about 60 days to get produced, but books will be shipped in advance of the plushies).
I've already begun work on Issue #3's campaign, and look to launch that in mid-to-late January 2022! Keep watching this space and/or follow me on Kickstarter to get updates!
Thank you again!

Karla Nappi is back with the latest installment of Duplicant, which is "a pulse-pounding sci-fi mystery about a scientist who becomes a victim of his own technology." You can catch up on the series on the campaign as well, or just get the latest issue, which concludes the first arc.
