Ascendant: Star-Spangled Squadron Vol. II is launching as part of Backerkit's comic crowdfunding campaign Comictopia. As part of our commitment to Comictopia, we have partnered with Sagaverse Studios, the creators of the Sagaverse comic and role-playing game.

Embark on a journey through the Sagaverse with Sagaverse Chronicles Volume 1, a series of three captivating comic books that transcend time and space. From the primal struggles of Primeval by John LoCascio, through Nedka Rokonokova’s mystical and technological fusion in Clockwork Horizon to the alternate modern realities of Century: The Strange Second Life of Cybersmith by John Coleman, each tale offers a fresh glimpse into a richly woven fantasy universe. Join us as we prepare you for the grand adventure awaiting in the Sagaverse RPG. Discover epic heroes, formidable villains, and the timeless battles they wage as these stories pave the way for the upcoming Sagaverse Campaign Guide.

Backers of both products will be eligible to receive not one but TWO complimentary items that bring the Ascendant and Sagaverse universes together! Check the Comictopia section for more details.

Fulfillment: Our target for fulfillment is June 2025, though this may change. The final product may differ slightly from the campaign's presentation. We will provide monthly updates to keep you informed of any changes. 

Refunds: Refunds are available until seven days after the campaign ends. After this period, we cannot issue refunds for collected pledges as the funds will have been allocated towards campaign expenses.

Shipping: Shipping fees will be charged separately, AFTER the campaign, during pledge management. Shipping prices will be determined after production is finished and we're preparing to send out the books. The estimates below are the cost to ship a single book. Be advised that larger orders may have larger shipping fees.

  
Notifications: Before fulfilling your rewards, we will contact you via email to confirm your address and receive your shipping payment. If you do not respond then after reasonable efforts we will move on to other business activities.  Please ensure your email is current in BackerKit.

Tracking: Tracking information will also be sent to the provided email. It is your responsibility to monitor and manage your package delivery. Please report any damaged or missing items to [email protected] within 30 days of receipt. For lost or misdelivered packages, report within 60 days of the shipping date for us to follow up or reship.
