Project Update: True Noir Tales Update!
The project is coming along well, I'm making super fast progress drawing the pages (no writing involved because I draw them right from memory!)
I have changed my drawing system a bit. I do a very loose sketch, then ink it. I used to draw True Noir Tales without sketching, but for this deluxe edition, I felt I needed to make it better than ever.
Here are some samples of the new art technique, they still need to be shaded.
I'll hit you up as more news comes up. Thank you again for your support!

Project Update: Your MAGNETIC-CON'24/COMICTOPIA digital downloads are ready!
We're getting ready to ship orders in the next several weeks, and wanted to update you on a few things. All of the extra VIP items are inbound, but some are taking a little more time than expected (particularly the coins)... we expect to have them by mid-October though, so that should be the last item to arrive before we're able to start shipping.
In the meantime...
We have distributed your digital files!
A few titles (specifically CARBON GREY) are hosted by DriveThruRPG. Those codes and files have been emailed separately, although you will still find the instructions in your Backerkit.
A handful of files are Direct Downloads hosted by Backerkit directly for download straight from your links page.
About the Tee Shirt Vouchers:
You can use your 7-digit code at checkout when purchasing a Tee from our Magnetic-Con'24 collection, which can be found here: https://store.magnetic-press.com/collections/magnetic-con-24
Simply select a tee of any design, color, or size and proceed to checkout. Enter your unique 7-digit code in the Discount Box, and the price of the shirt should be reduced to zero. (Note: You will still need to pay for shipping.) Your shirt will ship separately directly from Printful.
Note: the codes are single use and good for one shirt. You may transfer the code to a friend, but once it has been used, that's it.
Regarding TOPPI...
We have what will probably be disappointing news for four of you: our sales team didn't coordinate with our legal team to verify which titles we had digital rights to, and unfortunately, our publishing license to the TOPPI books does not include digital distribution. Mosquito specifically carved digital out of the agreement (for some reason). So those four of you who had digital TOPPI books in your order have already been refunded for those items. You should see that refund reflected back to your method of payment in 5-10 business days. Sorry about that! I'm not sure why they want to manage the digital publishing separate from the print publishing, but that's something we have no control over.
Everything else should be fine.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Project Update: September Update
Thank you for your continued support <3
Melissa is hard at work on Bouquets & Death Rays. We're on track to release next year. We've got a spoiler-free preview below!
Natalie and I will be going through the script for a final lettering pass in the coming months as we're ready to wrap up production.
PS - do you like poetry? Or are you a fan of art books? My sister (and Arledge Comics co-founder) and I have a new project running with Booktopia right now. Check it out here!
Project Update: Karma Files Being Proofed For Printing
We've been working hard getting the print files for Karma 2 prepped and ready to be sent to press. Right now everything is compiled and the finishing touches are being applied to the printer files. We're discussing the paper and schedule for getting copies of Karma 2 printed and will keep you posted on its progress as we proceed.
We are hoping that the book will be on press by the end of the month. Then its just a matter of the printing, binding, and shipping of goods to us so we can begin fulfillment. Watch for more updates coming soon. Thanks!
Project Update: It's All Good News!
I'm also delighted to share new art work that Mel Joy San Juan has been producing for Star-Spangled Squadron Volume II.
In this scene, 12 Sigma is meeting with the popular podcaster Bo Rogain, who is suspiciously similar to Joe Rogan except for one difference. As with every good podcast, they delve into conspiracy theories...
But perhaps they delve a little TOO deeply, because 12 Sigma soon gets a visit from the Squadron.
It takes all of the persuasive assets of the Squadron to convince 12 Sigma to ally with them.
Everything is on track and proceeding well! Thank you all again for supporting this project.
Project Update: Backer Surveys - Smoke Test
Hi Backers! Surveys were sent to a sampling of Backers today for QA purposes. If you received one, please complete as soon as you have a few minutes. If the returned surveys have no issues, we will send the remaining in the next day or so.
Thank you and have a great weekend!
Everyone who backed either the PDF or Hardcover of Flutters #1 should now have their PDF link in their email. Please let me know if you don't have it by sending me your name and email address to [email protected] and we'll get right on it!
All of the physical orders have gone out too, so you should be receiving those wherever you are in the world, in the next 2 to 4 weeks!
We still have 10 customers who haven't completed their survey (or paid their shipping) so if that's you, please do so as soon as possible because we want to make sure you get your goodies!
Kind regards,
Gary Parkin
