Magnets and Metal Covers Have Arrived!
9 months ago – Fri, Jul 11, 2025 at 01:19:03 PM

Hello Awesome Backers:

The magnets and the metal covers have arrived, and both look amazing.

Metal Covers Issue #1 Standard and Variant

The variant cover is due to arrive next week.

As for our main cover, the printing is completed, and I'm awaiting news on when it was shipped. Once I know that I'll have a better idea of when it will arrive into port. 

BACKERKIT SURVEYS

I like to send out surveys about two weeks before the books arrive, but if experience serves I should be sending them out towards the end of next week. I will keep you posted.

SDCC

For those coming to San Diego Comic Con, I will be in Small Press L-03. Please stop by and say hi if you are attending.

More to come.

Thank you.  Madeleine

Fulfillment Update
10 months ago – Fri, Jun 20, 2025 at 08:18:16 PM

Hello Awesome Backers:

The files for the main cover version, the variant, and the metal covers are currently with their respective printers. The variant and the metal covers should arrive around mid-July. I do not have word yet on when the main cover will arrive yet, but based on experience, it will probably arrive toward the end of July. 

I decided that between exhibiting at San Diego Comic Con next month and packing for my move, I will be shipping out the books towards the end of July and/or early August. If anything changes, I will let you know.

SURVEYS

Backerkit surveys will go out mid-July. I like to send them approximately 2 weeks before I start shipping. When they arrive, please be sure to fill them out so I can get you your rewards in a timely fashion. 

DIGITAL STRETCH GOALS

All digital stretch goals have been sent through Kickstarter messaging. 

MORGANA PENDRAGON #2

In the meantime, the script for Morgana Pendragon #2 is with Aldon, and he has already finished two pages out of twenty-eight. (That guy works fast!) The variant cover will be done by Claudia Innaciello. She did the cover for the Boston Metaphysical Society Vol. 2 hardback.
 

MYSTERY AT PIKES PEAK 3 & 4

I'm happy to announce that the coloring of Mystery at Pikes Peak #3 is done, and I have sent it off to be lettered. Dany has completed 20 pages (out of 29) of issue 4. Kaytee will begin coloring issue 4 in July. The main and variant covers are finished, and I'm talking to Alejandro about the design of our next lapel pin. If all goes well, I plan on running the Kickstarter for issues 3 and 4 in late September or early October. I'll have more details after I move. 

Here's a sneak peek of issue 3.

I hope to have the launch page up in August/September.

More to come. Thank you.

Best, Madeleine

Files Off to the Printer and more!
10 months ago – Sat, Jun 07, 2025 at 06:41:46 PM

Hello Awesome Backers:

I just sent the files off to the printer. As it's Saturday, I know they won't get to run it through what's known as "pre-flight" a/k/a checking the files, until early next week, but it is in the pipeline.  It will take a week or two until I know an approximate delivery date.  As usual, I will keep you posted.

In other good news, the script for Morgana Pendragon #2 is done and with Alden. He'll spend the next week or so roughing out the thumbnails before diving in. When I run the Kickstarter for the second issue depends a lot on how my move goes.

And not to forget my fellow creators, be sure to check out these very cool campaigns.

Lettering is done, plus more updates!
10 months ago – Sun, Jun 01, 2025 at 08:44:37 AM

Hello Awesome Backers:

It took awhile, but Morgana Pendragon issue one is finally lettered. It will go to pre-press shortly. Once that is done, then it will be off to the printer. I will be ordering the variant and the metal covers from US printers, which means the turn around will be shorter. So far, we are still on track for a July delivery. I will send out Backerkit surveys about two weeks before the books arrive. As usual, I'll keep you posted.

For those interested in Boston Metaphysical Society: Mystery at Pikes Peak progress, Dany is up to page 14 on Issue 4, and Kaytee has finished coloring 19 pages of Issue 3. So, we are getting there. I want to do another lapel pin for the next Kickstarter, but my vendor has told me that tariffs have added 30% to the cost. I'm pondering other possibilities, but I know I will have full sets of the Experimental Station metal bookmark (Copper, Brass, and Stainless Steel) as an add on. Lots to think about.

OREGON MOVE

I'm also moving to Oregon! Yup, we bought a house and will be moving bit by bit over the next few months. It should be an adventure, but I will be at San Diego Comic Con in July (Small Press L-03) and WorldCon in Seattle in August. If anyone can suggest any local Cons in Oregon other than Rose City, please let me know.

And not to forget my fellow creators...

Digital Stretch Goals Sent, Updates, and more!
11 months ago – Fri, May 16, 2025 at 07:32:06 AM

Hello Awesome Backers:

I have sent everyone who pledged to a reward the Dropbox links for the digital rewards thru Kickstarter messaging. Let me know if you have problems downloading them. They will expire July 31, 2025. 

The pages are still with Troy. He ran into technical difficulties which led to a delay. He should have the lettering done early next week then it's off to pre-press. We are still on track for a July delivery. 

Also, the metal bookmarks have been delivered, and look just as wonderful as the samples. :)  Next, I'll be ordering the magnets.  The script for Morgana #2 is off to the editor, and Rio is working on the cover.  Alden is ready to begin whenever I am happy with the script. So we are moving forward.
