Final 24 Hours of ComicTopia!
We're in the final hours of the incredible ComicTopia program here at Backerkit! The Legend of La Rosa Blanca has funded and we're striving to achieve our first stretch goal. ...
A bunch of updates today on the Legend of La Rosa Blanca. We have the final colors for all pages and letters done at last. We're getting ready to send them to press in the next few weeks and should be able to give everyone an updated ETA for when we can start shipping. We also just received the cross collaboration cards for backers who also supported Dynamite's Karma Volume 2 graphic novel. They look great and are going to make cool collectibles for those lucky backers.
We're working on the pledge manager for La Rosa and hope to have it launch by this time next week. Everyone will be getting a special bonus gift from us that we'll announce later on as well. We're just so happy to finally be nearing completion and shipping for everyone. We appreciate how very patient everyone has been. We hit a lot of unexpected problems with La Rosa Blanca - but we think the final book will be worth the wait.
We have had very bad luck with colorists. Both were international studios and both completely failed to hit even remotely reasonable deadlines. Not going to say this has been cursed...but it sure feels that way sometimes.
We're reviewing everything and making final notes. Our letterer is reliable. Assuming the colors are acceptable and don't need a lot of revisions we think we are going to finally be on track with the book.
We will post up some more preview pages and updates to the schedule as we get through the proofs.
Thanks for your incredible patience. Our owner is already looking for ways to give you extra thank you gifts during the fulfillment of the campaign to show our appreciation.
Just a quick update as we get close to the holidays. The colorist is sending in pages (slower than we'd like but they are coming in). We know everyone is eager for an update - so here are a few example pages from Gordon Purcell's throwback story so you can see it is moving along:
We are pushing the colorist to confirm the ETA for the final pages. As soon as we know that - we'll get this ook lettered and off to press.
Thanks for your patience and happy holidays to all!
First off - we're very sorry for taking a while to get things resolved and announced to everyone. There's no good excuse for how long it took to get this update up. We hope you can forgive the slow resolution.
As you'll remember - we put out the poll to see how many fans wanted us to color the book. 86% of people said yes - so it was a pretty overwhelming percentage. That said - we moved to books to a colorist with a reasonable deadline of 5 weeks to finish the coloring. Unfortunately the colorist had some personal issues that they were not forthcoming about and the end result is they didn't complete the book.
We found a new colorist to finish the coloring and he is currently pushing everything forward with regular updates and a target completion date. The pages he has turned in look great - even better than we were expecting. And we can't wait to show everyone the whole thing.
So what we are doing is moving forward with the new color team and keeping the books ready to go to press as soon as they finish. We can't really do much to make up for the unexpected slowdown. But we did want to give everyone a free digital pulp comic to check out as a thank you for your patience. So - here's a free digital copy of "Tales from the CursedVerse" to check out and read on your favorite devices. You can download it by going to our website here:
