Hey everybody,

Thank you for your patience. I just got approval from BackerKit to send our surveys to all backers!

We are getting ever closer to a finalized digital copy to send out to all of you amazing supporters and to the printer. I expect that should happen within the next month. Make sure to choose your cover choice wisely and complete your surveys by then so I can finalize the print order.

To celebrate, here's a look at Brian Wolf's pin-up for Spectres of Sumer:

My next release will be The Twin Flames #1 with Summit Comics. I'm extremely excited to share more information including covers and a guest writer. For now, I'd like to ask you to follow the pre-launch page and look at this killer cover by Marcus Jimenez:

 

I also have to tell you about another Summit Comic! Travis Gibb and Brian Wolf are back with a second issue of Upheaval--a character so cool she debuted before Summit: Pinnacle #1. This duo always delivers delicious storytelling in every project they release and this one is no different. There are only a few days left to jump into Upheaval #1-2 and unlock the next free art print!

Until next time,
J. Michael Miller

Let me start off my saying that I appreciate your grace. It has been too long since the last update but we are nearly there!

Lane Lloyd fixed the minor coloring issue on the cover for The Healer's Blade option for this campaign. The short pages for David Andry's backup still need lettered. Time for Lane's cover reveal:

The 3-page story with art by Marcus Jimenez is set to be lettered by Adam Barnhardt this weekend. To reward you all for you patience, you'll all be surprised with a pinup/cover by Brian Wolf for Spectres of Sumer by printed inside this book. Here's a half-page snippet from Page 2:

Expect surveys to be sent out within the next week or two. Once letters come in for these final two stories, digital rewards will be sent out and files will be sent off to the printer. I appreciate you all!

OTHER CAMPAIGNS TO SUPPORT:

Hospice: The Curious Case of Dr. Vane

The World of Hospice meets the Summit Comics universe!

The Curious Case of Dr. Vane is a concoction of creepiness with just a sprinkle of heroism that the preview left me begging for more. Aldric Vane crossed all realities, only to be force to grapple with a demon hellbent on devouring the memories of his successes. Don't miss this comic by Adam Barnhardt! 

Summit Comics' GRANITE: Powerless #1

Granite's back--and now as part of Summit Comics!

Granite: Powerless #1 picks up after the events in Separation Anxiety. Separated from her powers, Granite adapts to life as a normal citizen but taking the party out of the girl is harder than you think. Don't miss this comic by C.J. Hudson!

It's been almost a month since I gave you an update, so I'm back to tell you how this book is coming along.

Crossover prints have arrived! I have already gotten bags & boards ready, with their free crossover print, for supporters that pledged for a physical copy.

The Healer's Blade cover has not changed yet. I've asked the artist to fix the hair color on the main character but this hasn't happened yet. In an email this past week, Lane Lloyd told me this slipped through his inbox but this should be remedied before the next update.

Lettering by LetterSquids/Justin for Kid Cretaceous #2 is complete! Joey Galvez is in the process of putting together the design for this comic book before that campaign can be fulfilled. That means this portion is ready to go!

Marcus Jimenez has layouts for Spectres of Sumer complete! He's working on inks before he moves on to colors. My goal is to have this lettered by December 17th at the latest.

Lettering for What Dwells Beneath the Heart was going to be in progress. However, we ran into a snag. The artist has the interior pages formatted at a different size than needed. We are waiting for the artist to make these changes and send over files before the letterer can get this finished.

Jerome Gagnon still needs to letter The Broken Branch. Once that's done, this story is done!

I apologize for this delayed update. Unfortunately, this was the one task that I kept “pushing off until tomorrow,” but time kept moving forward. I get a little sentimental each time a project is funded. It blows my mind that each of you care about the stories I tell and what I have to say.  Without you, none of this would be possible. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to keep telling stories like these. Without you, I wouldn’t be given these types of opportunities to grow and get better. Thank you for that.

Let’s review the status of this book:

In the next update, I'll have Lane's final cover to show off and more progress that we'll have made.

Until next time,
J. Michael Miller

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to drop by for a quick update because I've got some good news. We're fully funded! Stay tuned for our first Stretch Goal to be revealed. Until then, let's do our best to keep sharing and speaking about What Dwells Beneath the Heart!
