Project Update: All packages shipped
Daymakers!
Happy to report that as of Wednesday, all packages have been shipped from our amazing print/fulfillment center!
There are separate packages going out to several of you with extraneous rewards like the remarqued Masters Of The Universe trades. Those are coming straight from me so keep an eye out for a second package if you don't see all your rewards shipped together.
The last rewards to fulfill: The t-shirts and mystery boxes, have NOT been sent out yet. I'll be compiling the mystery boxes and sending everything out together once I receive copies of Daybreak! to include. I have some fun surprises in store for the mystery boxes and I'm sure you'll enjoy them!
Hang in there and don't forget about our next campaign, ELECTRICIA #1, which could launch at literally any moment now. While not officially slated to kick off until May 6th, we often surprise launch ahead of time and the magic 8-ball indicates that seems likely in this case. If you want to sign up for prelaunch, here's the link: bit.ly/electricia1. We have a mystery variant cover artist coming down the pike that we know everyone will get a charge from (electricity pun haha).
Thanks for everything, gang! If there are any issues with your packages, please contact [email protected] for assistance.

Project Update: Books are bound!
Daymakers!
Great news this morning. The books are bound and are back in the safe and loving hands of our awesome printer. I'm told everything printed beautifully. Unfortunately, I can't embed the quick video flip through I was sent but it's been uploaded to our youtube channel here if anyone has an extra nine seconds they want to kill this morning:
https://youtube.com/shorts/OidaiDE3Yck?feature=share
Yes, we actually have a Youtube channel.
Fulfillment should begin very soon now that the books have completed the printing process. If I hear any different, you'll be the first to know; and if you'd like to sign up to be notified of our next project, ELECTRICIA #1 launches on Kickstarter on May 6th. You can check it out here: bit.ly/electricia1
Thanks, everyone!

Project Update: Digital Rewards released!
Daymakers!
A brief update to inform you all that digital rewards have been distributed this morning. We hope you'll enjoy both the standard and Galactic versions of the book! There were still 3 more pages we could have added to the Galactic version but decided to give you all a little break.
We have collected shipping for this project. Several charges were declined. If one of them was yours, you'll have received a notification from backerkit with instructions to rectify. We can't ship you your books without first collecting the shipping charges so please, don't miss out.
For the physical books, things appear to be moving along, although a bit slowly at the print house. I don't believe the interiors have been printed yet although I was informed that the paper was ordered. My understanding of the printing process is that the interiors and covers are printed separately, then shipped to a different facility where they're glued together, then shipped back to be sent out to all of you. It seems like A LOT but our previous collection for THE SWITCH: ELECTRICIA worked out beautifully and we expect the same for DAYBREAK!
Although there's no reason to assume that the book won't be completed and shipped out this month as intended, if the production process is officially delayed, we'll let you know as soon as we do.
Enjoy the digital content. If you have any issues downloading, please let us know and thanks for your support!

Project Update: Reminder about surveys! PLUS...!
Daymakers!
DAYBREAK! THE COMPLETE SERIES is in the process of being printed and we are rapidly approaching the date where final orders will be locked. If you have NOT completed your survey by now (and 19% of you haven't), please take a look through your inbox for either your survey or a reminder from backerkit and follow the instructions from there. We are excited to get these books in your hands!
If you participated in the BACK BOTH BUNDLE with our sister campaign for THE DEFENSE #1, you only need to fill out the survey for Defense. Your books will be sent together, in addition to the free comics that were part of the bundle.
If you added signed comics to your pledge, you will notice that in addition to my signature, your comics are also signed by the great and powerful master blaster himself, Doug Mahnke! When I saw Doug last month at a signing, he was happy to class up everyone's comic with his elegant signature. Hope everyone enjoys the bonus sigs!
If you're one of the backers that picked up a remarqued MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE trade, I've finished up those drawings and they'll be shipped to our fulfillment center shortly, along with a bunch of others. Mystery Boxes will be shipping directly from me and will arrive a bit later, after I receive copies of the Daybreak! trade to include with them. Some fun surprises in store there though!
After orders are locked and shipping and addresses are collected, the digital reward tiers will be released. The GALACTIC DIGITAL EDITION is currently being finalized. It appears the file is just too dang large for Backerkit to distribute it; there's a limit to the file sizes they can handle. We will likely release the file through a download link via Dropbox. If that changes, we'll let you know.
That's a lot of news for today. Let's take a break to let you guys work on those surveys and if more updating is needed, we'll circle back around early next week. Thanks!
Your bestie,
Keith

Project Update: Surveys incoming
New Painiacs!
A brief note to let you know that surveys for DAYBREAK! THE COMPLETE SERIES will begin going out tomorrow to 5% of you (the good ol' "SMOKE TEST") and as long as no issues crop up, the rest will be sent Friday morning.
The files were delivered to the printer last week (same for our sister project, The Defense) but we don't have an estimate of when the book will be printed yet. Trade Paperbacks also require that the covers be bound to the interiors at a separate facility; all this to say that your cards won't be charged for shipping until we have a firm estimate of when the books will be finished. We're just getting our ducks in a row for now.
If you took advantage of the BACK BOTH BUNDLE to support both projects and would like to combine shipping, ONLY FILL OUT THE SURVEY FOR THE DEFENSE. You books will be sent together when both are printed and ready to go. If you're not sure if you backed both projects (several backers did not although they left the appropriate comment on The Defense page), drop us a line and we'll double check for you.
That's all for now, gang. Thanks!
