We jumped the gun on the surveys- so we’ll be resending them again this week. Sorry. What happened is we had the digital rewards ready, and just wanted to give them to you as soon as possible, so we sent out the surveys, erroneously thinking our Kickstarter experience was a benefit-- but we have since learned that the Backerkit Pledge Manager is a very different animal and things got handled incorrectly. So we have to send them again. Rush a thing and it takes twice as long. Lesson learned. Our mistake, and we sincerely apologize. To say sorry, EVERYONE will receive a Digital Wallpaper of the Comictopia Freebie.
Thanks for your support. The book is still in production but will be off to the printer this November. The book is printing in China. It will take 4 weeks to print and 8 weeks to ship from China to the fulfillment center. We will have a download link for the digital version once the printing process is complete. Once we have photos of finished books from China we will post them for backers to see.
In the meantime, we're excited to share a sneak peek of some items Steve is in the process of signing.
CORRECTION:
During checkout, it was erroneously stated that an unsigned bookplate would be inserted into the UNSIGNED book. To clarify:
UNSIGNED books will not include a bookplate within the book.
SIGNED books will include a signed bookplate inserted within the book.
UNSIGNED books will receive an unsigned bookplate as a separate sticker.
We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Digital Rewards incoming... we'll be sending out surveys shortly, some of you may have already received them. If you just ordered digital rewards those are ready now. All physical rewards are in progress.
At present time, most of you should have received their rewards (and if, for any reason you did not get it, please reach out). If you did not get your package, only two possibilities:
A- You haven't filled the Survey and thus, we don't have your full contact information. Please do it ASAP and we'll ship your book to you.
B- You ordered a copy of INTERTWINED: THE SPIRITS OF WUXING omnibus and the book isn't available yet. It will be soon, though as I just approved the files for printing last week. It's been a long time coming, but the book will be delivered in our HQ by the end of November and it will be fantastic! We'll ship your copy as soon as we receive it.
Now, over on Kickstarter, FairSquare Graphics has a new project LIVE right now! And this one's also special to me. It's a character that I co-created with Kristal Adams (the writer of the series and FairSquare Graphics co-owner) with design collectively produced by myself, Chris Cross and [interior artist] Asiah Fulmore. I drew two covers for this issue and we're so proud to welcome amazing cover artists such as Karen Darboe, Ray Anthony Height, Guile and, of course, Asiah Fulmore.

Again, I want to thank you for your constant support and amazing patience. I'd love to hear what you thought of NO FUTURE #1. Oh, and issue #2 is coming soon! ;)
