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!

Project Update: The jury has almost reached its verdict
Greetings from Minnesota, New Painiacs!
Before I dash to the airport, I wanted to briefly remind you that our Kickstarter campaign for THE DEFENSE #1 ends in 24 hours.
If you backed Daybreak! And want to take advantage of the BACK BOTH BUNDLE by also supporting THE DEFENSE #1 you’ll receive, ABSOLUTELY FREE, copies of JUMP #1, UNcovered #1 and THE OFFICIAL HANDBOOK OF THE NEW PAIN UNIVERSE. Just leave the comment, “defending daybreak” on the Kickstarter page for Defense.
In addition, we are only $8 away from unlocking our first Defense stretch goal, where every backer will also receive a free copy of P.U.N.C.H. #1. It seems likely, but not guaranteed, that we’ll hit that mark. But knock on wood that hopefully we’ll be giving away a lot of free comics—with a 5th possibly being added to the mix if we catch a wave of new backers over the last 24 hours.
If you’d like to join the jury pool for The Defense (And receive 4-5 free comics by doing so), here’s the link: bit.ly/thedefense1. Don’t forget to leave that comment so we can keep track!

Project Update: Thank you!
New Painiacs!
I'm as tired of updates as you are but let's not allow that fatigue to get in the way of a robust THANK YOU to all of you that made this campaign a success. People say you should never admit to having a favorite child but Daybreak! is my favorite project as a creator. Your support of the book means an awful lot.
"WHAT'S NEXT? You may ask.
The files are all zipped up and ready to go to print. Trade Paperbacks tend to take a little longer to have printed than floppies so while Backerkit processes the pledges over the next two weeks, I'm going to jump the gun and send the book to print early next week. In the meantime, if there's an issue with your pledge, please follow Backerkit's instructions on how to correct and process it.
We anticipate fulfilling this campaign in April, as stated on the campaign page. There shouldn't be any hiccups along the way but if there are, I'll let you know ASAP what to expect.
If you've backed Daybreak! but haven't backed The Defense #1, there are still a few days left to back both and receive free copies of JUMP #1, UNcovered #1 and THE OFFICIAL HANDBOOK OF THE NEW PAIN UNIVERSE. We're also very close to unlocking the first Defense stretch goal where all backers will receive a free copy of P.U.N.C.H. #1. If we make it far enough in that campaign, there will be another free comic included (we haven't decided which yet) so by backing both, you may also receive 4-5 FREE New Pain books.
Here's the link if you've been meaning to check it out: bit.ly/thedefense1. Make sure to leave the comment "DEFENDING DAYBREAK!" on that page so we can verify and keep track of everyone.
Thanks again for the support, shares and encouragement, guys. When there's more news about this project, you'll hear about it here first.

Project Update: Less than three hours left!
New Painiacs!
There are less than three hours remaining in the campaign for DAYBREAK! THE COMPLETE SERIES. The campaign ends at 3:00 PM EST today!
We're sending out this final reminder because we don't want you to miss out. You've supported New Pain in the past for a reason: We tell great stories. DAYBREAK! is our flagship title and if you haven't checked it out yet, you're missing out on an exceptional graphic novel.
The project is fully funded and the campaign is close to being able to add eight more pages of content. Check it out at this link while there's still time: bit.ly/completedaybreak.
Back with more after the bell rings and the dust clears.
