Hey jumpers,
SHIPPING IS 99.9% COMPLETE!
With the exception of a few very complex/complicated orders, everything has shipped and packages are starting to arrive.
SHOW US THEM BOOKS ON SOCIAL MEDIA!
When you receive your books, share a picture of yourself - or your dog... or your BAD ASS baby (see below) - with it on social media and tag me! Once all of the shipping dust has settled, I'll pick a couple of you and send something very special for your trouble.

Get creative with this shit, huh? But beware... the bar has been set REALLY high on previous campaigns:
It's always a delight to see man and beast enjoying your comic books...
This handsome baby celebrates my ENTIRE catalog...
A touching father/son moment (brings a tear to my eye)...
This young man knows the score...
Then there's this poor soul...
This pro wrestler seems to likes his book...
...How about you?

Hey Jumpers,
Great news! The comics/stretch goal goodies have arrived!
And everything looks rightly SPECTACULAR!
The highlight, by far, is the STARBURST FOIL MIGNOLA-TRIBUTE VARIANT of THE JUMP #1. Check out the images/video below. This one is a straight STUNNER:
There are still a few of these left in the BACKERKIT SHOP (it's limited to just 35 signed/numbered copies). If you want to head over there now, I can make sure it ships with your current order (if Backerkit charges you shipping, I'll refund it immediately). CHECK IT HERE if you're inclined!
Anyway, shipping started in earnest last night, so keep your eyes peeled for tracking info! All these goodies will be in your hands very soon!
Stay safe out there!

Fulfillment Update
over 3 years ago
– Tue, Jul 06, 2021 at 09:02:12 PM
Hey Jumpers,
I hope the 4th of July weekend treated you all splendidly. Quick update here on the fulfillment front... We had a minor hiccup with our printer that delayed production oh-so-slightly. They are back on track now, however, and we are confident that we will have everything out to you guys this month.
You should all have an "final notice" email in your inbox now from Backerkit confirming your mailing address/shipping info. If your info is up to date there/if your address is fine, do nothing... but if you've moved or if the addy they have on file is wrong, you have about 48 hours to make changes to it. Come Thursday, the shipping addresses will be locked.
I should have all of the digital rewards out to you guys by the end of this week. You'll receive an email from Backerkit letting you know how/where to download everything. Watch this space for updates on that front.
In the meantime, let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I can't wait to get this badass issue in your hands.
Talk soon!

P.S. Two very close comic friends have campaigns brewing right now that you should take a close look at...
When super-villains like Galactoid, Dron the Conqueror, or Professor Kill are defeated, they're sent to a government maximum security facility. But what about small-timers like Phileas Frost, The Grappler, or the random jump-suited agents of H.A.R.M.? What happens to the bank robbers, jewel thieves, and anonymous henchmen?
They post bail.
And sometimes, they skip town afterward. That's where Lucy Chase comes in.
From Eisner nominee Steve Bryant! CHECK IT OUT HERE!
The prelaunch page is up for one of my absolute favorite Kickstarter comics, THE O.Z. by Ringo-nominee David Pepose.
What if The Hurt Locker took place in The Wizard of Oz? Find out in The O.Z., a thrilling new comic series from Ringo Award-nominated writer David Pepose (Spencer & Locke, Going to the Chapel) and red-hot new artist Ruben Rojas that transforms a childhood classic into a war story for the ages. Debuting on Kickstarter with a 44-page first chapter, this campaign is dedicated to bringing this action-packed twist on L. Frank Baum’s iconic Oz novels to life. Fans of Mad Max, The Old Guard, and Fables will not want to miss out on The O.Z.

UPDATE: Off to the Printer!

Hey Jumpers,
Just a quick update... cards have been charged for Backerkit add-ons and the book is headed off to the printer! I don't yet have a concrete return estimate from them as they are pretty backed up at the moment due to some pandemic-related chaos, but I'll check back in with you here as soon as I have some dates. We're still on track at the moment for our original June fullfillment mark. I'll let you know if and when that changes.
Bonus digital content is coming soon! Stay tuned!
Let me know if you need something! Hope all is well!
