I have to say the hardcovers look AMAZING! It cost us over $5,000 extra to print them plus $2,500 just for the tip in plate, but it was worth it!  The Wonder Woman signature plate looks amazing!

Anyone else having issues with the link to get the digital download? My biggest frustration is the confusion from Kickstarter to Backerkit to Discord. I. can't keep up with all the "social media" stuff. I just want simple and straight forward. I backed the book. Maybe I don't get the digital download but then why get the email?
