Sophia Saturn Digital Rewards have been sent, Physical Rewards are shipping soon!

Sophia Saturn #4 & #5 are finished and I sent them to the printer last week! It will still be a couple weeks before I get the books back, but It still feels amazing to be at this point. I really can’t wait to share the print books and the amazing work from our incredible art team.

But, if you backed the campaign, you don’t have to wait until then to read the exciting conclusion to this first story-arc. All the digital rewards were sent out this week, so watch your inboxes for links to your copies. If you have any problems with the links or files, please let me know. I’m so proud of this series and I hope you enjoy the read as much as we did making the books.

All the Sophia Saturn rewards are coming together. I got the sticker that was our first “stretch goal” and every physical rewards package will get one for free. In addition to the books, the T-shirts are on their way and I’ll have them soon. Once I have everything, I’ll be shipping out all the physical rewards together in a few weeks.

If you missed out on the campaign, don’t fret. There will be a limited number of books available at www.BigBlueComics.com after all the rewards have been delivered. Watch our social media and here for an announcement.

Thank you all so much for your support and making these issues a reality.

We Did It! HYPER-ACTION #3 has been successfully funded on Kickstarter with stretch goals!

We are putting the finishing touches on the production for HYPER-ACTION #3 and it will be ready to send to the printer soon. But this is the time we all test our patience. It will be about two weeks before Kickstarter releases the funds so I can pay the printer. Once the printer is paid it can take 6-8 weeks before I have the books in my hands from the slow boat overseas. I’m hoping we get the books right before the holidays and get them out by the end of the year, but I can’t guarantee that at this time. Depending on how things go with the printer I may opt to get the books for the Kickstarter expedited, but because of the cost, I only do that to make sure the books are out in the scheduled time. One way or another the physical rewards will go out sometime between the beginning of December and the end of January. All digital rewards will be released in November.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the campaign and made us a success! We not only surpassed our funding goal but added a couple stretch goals and bonuses along the way. In the next couple days you will be sent a survey with a few questions I’ll need answered to be able to deliver your rewards. You should also be able to make any additions to your package at this time. Watch your inboxes and junk-filters for that. 

Of course you can order most of the books from us directly at www.BigBlueComics.com. Don’t forget to follow us on social media for more updates on THE RESISTANTS, HYPER-ACTION & Sophia Saturn, our upcoming appearances, and future campaigns.
