New Painiacs!

Have you guys checked the time lately? We just did and were shocked to learn its already WEEK THREE of this campaign.

Which means there are NINE DAYS left to reach our funding goal which, as these words are typed, is approximately $800 dollars away. Normally not a huge cause for concern; often the final days of a campaign bring with them a fresh wave of backers. Because this is our first campaign on Backerkit, however, we're not sure how things will trend as the clock winds down.

There are a lot of similarities between this platform and Kickstarter but there are also enough differences, especially in the size of each platform's pool of comic book readers, that we're a little more nervous than we might normally be. Maybe you guys could do us a favor though?

Tell your local comic book store about this campaign, we've got a discounted tier just for retail establishments. Or let a friend know about this great comic they haven't read yet, but you know they'll love. Or share one of our social media posts to your circle of online friends. Ask them to share it too. Every new set of eyes that becomes aware of this project is a good thing. We need as many as possible to check it out in these last nine days.

There are like 8.5 billion people in the world these days, right? We just need like 20 of them to fall in love with Daybreak! Rally caps on, troops. Let's make some noise!

New Painiacs!

This week, we've made some great progress towards the Daybreak! The Complete Series funding goal. We are approximately 80% funded, less than $800 away from making this collected edition a reality! If you've been thinking of backing; if you've been thinking of telling a friend; if you've been thinking of adding something to your pledge...now's a great time!

Ultimately, we'd like to overfund enough that we're able to add MORE content to the book.

There are still many great variant covers we don't have the room to include, plus the remastered 8-page back up story featuring everybody's favorite characters, Lester Loot and The Duke Of Doom, with art by everybody else's favorite character, Rich Stahnke. It's simple math: The more pages we add to the book, the higher the print cost but we've got our fingers crossed we'll be able to unlock the additional content and who knows...maybe even add some more surprises!

In other news, our sister campaign for THE DEFENSE #1 (bit.ly/thedefense1) on Kickstarter is currently 98% funded. If you've already backed Daybreak! and also want to check The Defense out, don't forget: You'll receive three free New Pain comics for backing both. Just leave the comment, "DEFENDING DAYBREAK" on either campaign page, we'll verify on our end and add the free books to your pledge.   

There's a good chance we'll even throw in something special to the hero that puts the campaign over the top. Hint, hint...

New Painiacs!

As the beginning of Week 3 approaches, we've made more progress towards our funding goal BUT...we're definitely in the mid-campaign lull, that dreaded time where new backers are hard to find. Now's the best time to tell a friend, we need every possible new backer to make this project a reality.

To further the cause, we've included another new add-on to the Daybreak! campaign that fans of He-Man might find noteworthy.

Dark Horse has released the collected edition of Masters of The Universe: Revolution, inked by Daybreak! creator Keith Champagne. We've added FIVE COPIES to this campaign; each copy will be signed and will include a remarqued drawing of Skeletor by Champagne. Grabbing one for yourself is a great way to add something cool to your collection while also helping Daybreak! reach its funding goal.

ALSO!

Because we're kind of crazy, New Pain Pro is launching a second campaign sometime over the next 24 hours on Kickstarter.

THE DEFENSE is about an attorney that specializes in representing supervillains...but there's a lot more to it than that. If you're a fan of shows like Better Call Saul but wish there were more psychopaths with superpowers involved, you'll love this new title. But wait, there's more!

Backers of BOTH campaigns will ALSO receive, absolutely free, copies of JUMP #1, UNCOVERED #1 and THE OFFICIAL HANDBOOK OF THE NEW PAIN UNIVERSE #1. Same applies for digital backers, you'll receive the digital versions of these three awesome books.  We call it the, "BACK BOTH BUNDLE" so by all means, baby get back!

You can sign up now to be notified when The Defense #1 launches at bit.ly/thedefense1. And don't forget about those copies of MOTU: REVOLUTION.

Thanks for your support. Sorry to all you Chiefs fans out there this morning. 

New Painiacs!

Week Two of the campaign for Daybreak! The Complete Series has officially begun. Thanks to our initial wave of backers, we are currently 60% funded! There are SO many projects crowdfunding on a variety of platforms, thanks to those of you that have believed in this project so far.

To help the campaign reach its funding goal, we've listed a new ADD-ON today available to both new and existing backers. If you navigate to the Add-Ons section, at the very top you'll see a new tier: "HEY KIDS! COMICS! (SIGNED)"

Adding this tier will add a comic book signed by Keith Champagne to your Daybreak! package. From Green Lantern to JSA, X-Men to Spider-Man, Stranger Things to The Bionic Man, Champagne has produced thousands of comics for almost every publisher. We'll choose a copy at random from our supplies, throw Keith a sharpie and BOOM! Instant signed comic.

BUT WAIT! There's more! Although we can't guarantee this, whenever possible we will also have your comic signed by additional members of the various creative teams. For instance, Keith will be seeing Doug Mahnke at the end of the month and will politely force Doug to sign copies of books they've worked on together for you. Same goes for any other creators we're going to see between now and the time this campaign fulfills.

Thanks for your support and tell your friends! Together, we are mighty.
