Hello all!
Production on the book should be done soon and I'm working on the surveys to get to you very soon!
I have a surpise I'm working on for those of you who got (or would still like to get) Miki's cover(s), but first...
In case you missed it:
Stake letterer Joel Rodriguez and I are live on BackerKit with a new campaign called Dusk County is Canceled. A crossover of our two series the Dusk County Chroniclesand Canceled.
Dusk County is a dangerous place...for humans. The monsters that call it home can live and hunt in relative peace, thanks to a strict set of rules passed down by their vampiric ruler and enforced by his loyal followers.
However, that peace is thrown into chaos when a traveling carnival comes to town, bringing an uninvited guest - an animatronic clown possessed by a vengeful spirit. Larry has come to Dusk County, and now...Dusk County is Canceled!
Won't you come get Canceled with us? CHECK IT OUT HERE!
I'll be back at San Diego Comic Con this week after taking a year off. If you're going to be there my new company AMP Comics will have two panels, one of which you can ask me stupid questions.
We will also be giving away an ashcan of one of our first titles called Lovestruck with a cover from one of my most frequent collaborators...Eranga D!
Speaking of San Diego Comic Con, if you can't make, you can still get Charlie Stickney's White Ash Comic Con exclusive while supplies last on his current campaign for the White Ash Annual #1!
You can back that here!
Hopefully I can get these surveys out to you pretty soon after I get back from San Diego next week.
We made it! Thank you all!!

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!
We make these books for you and because of you. Your support makes it possible for us to keep going with these projects, so again, from the team and myself - THANK YOU!
It's over...what's next?
Now we wait for funds from kickstarter, this usually takes 2 weeks.
From there we'll get surveys sent out from BackerKit and get the books ordered!
We had a handful errored pledges that I have sent emails to so you can please correct them so we can make sure you get your books as well!
Stay tuned for updates on progress!
In the meantime, check out these awesome campaigns!
From my friend Steve Conley, the third collected volume of his Eisner nominated web-series:
Sir Quimp of Grawlix is about a knight who is in love with a dragon and who carries a magic sword which hates him. In the first collection, our hero met the cursed, talking sword Maledicta, the bewildering wizard Melvwyn the Magnificent, two baby dragons Jarn and Nittles, and Waddlebottom, the Lord of All Ducks. In this volume, our hero come face-to-face with dragons, his love, and something unexpected! So, it's a buddy comedy. And a love story. And a magic duck epic adventure!
BACK IT HERE!
From my other friend Gerald von Stoddard, another writer/illustrator (I'm not jealous, you're jealous):
The story reimagines the gods of Norse mythology in a modern world. A world that remains the only realm left. The Ragnarok we thought we knew was a conspiracy of illusion to banish Loki forever and to make Earth their final home. Awakened and set on a course of revenge, a plot a millennium in the making, Loki seeks a sliver of Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos, to become his avatar and bring about a final destruction of everything left standing. With Hel by his side he sets a plan in motion that tears the veil between the mortal and the Immortal world.
To end all things, the lord of all things must be awakened.
Odin's only hope lies with his grandchildren, who have been dormant in human hosts for a thousand years. Can he bring them together in time - the musician, the assassin, and the shaman - before the dreaming world of Elder Gods collapses, throwing life and all we know into permanent oblivion?
