It's been a huge month for DCC fans, and we've got some meaty updates for you all.

DCC: Crocodile Fulfillment Status updates

•  🥩 Locking IN: It's time to commit! Here's your 30-days notice that we're closing the post-campaign BackerKit store AND locking in your orders on June 15. Thank you to everyone who has taken advantage of our post-campaign offerings! On June 15, the BackerKit late-pledge store will close, as well as your ability to add any more items to your order for this campaign. If you have one of those friends who is always late for everything and will be devastated to know that they lost their chance to nab a campaign exclusive item, you better let them know that the clock is ticking! 
•  🥩 Addresses are still editable: Addresses will remain editable on your end right up until when we ship (not quite yet), so please feel free to adjust those as needed. We're going to be literally so flexible on this to make sure you all have a great fulfillment experience, but more on that when we get closer to the big Croc release.
•  🥩 Reward production: We're finishing work on all of our remaining custom rewards--folks are being drawn into the comic as mobs as we speak, and Jeff will begin recording some (honestly, hilarious) custom audio for a few lucky backers next month. The Matt Dinniman signing pages are in production as well! As for all other reward items, those will be headed to production right after we get those final order numbers locked in after June 15. Our lovely fulfillment partner, Whalebacker, is hyped and ready for us!
•  🥩 Book production: The whole creative team remains hard at work. As we've mentioned in a previous update, if the production schedule happens to slip, it will likely be in regards to the book additions as we continue to add and adjust it to perfection. The script length has already been expanded to accommodate certain scenes, and we've got all of that extra materials in progress as well. In our experience, the summer convention season (and con crud season) tends to throw a wrench into artist schedules, but we will keep you apprised in case of any unexpected developments. 
•  🥩 And, because we promised: Our new colorist JP Jordan is hard at work adding colors to Brett's lines. We've got even more previews below the Backers-Only cut, but here is a peek of JP's recolor of the Croc cover~
  
  

  

Even more cool stuff we wanted to share

•  🥩 We'd be so remiss not to scream a little bit about the release of A Parade of Horribles. Anyone hear about this thing? It's not a comic, but books are pretty good too. Huge congrats to Matt on another Dungeon Crawler Carl milestone (and RIP in Peace to one very lucky/ unlucky Celestial Tier DCC: Crocodile backer)!
•  🥩Dungeon Crawler Carl Webtoon #0, previewing the online comic in print for the first time, absolutely blew folks away at Free Comic Book Day 2026, and was considered by many one of the titles to get. Did you guys manage to grab a free copy at a participating shop? We hope you did! And: a reminder that if you had placed an order for the Absolute Catman web variant through the BackerKit store listing, those will be shipping along with your other rewards come fulfillment time. 
•  🥩And one final piece of HUGE news, another Vault project written by none other than Michael Moreci, the co-writer of DCC: Crocodile, is coming to Netflix. The Barbaric Netflix live-action series was just announced yesterday... huge congrats to Michael and Vault's Nate Gooden (who did the cover of the DCC: Absolute Catman homage)! DCC: Croc team stays winning.
  
  

  

  
  (Damn, you think to yourself, if only Zev could go back in time and link me to a complimentary copy of the entire first volume of Barbaric in a DCC: Crocodile update post. GUESS WHAT, we just jumped in the time machine and we've got you covered in our December 2025 gift link update.)

Up Next: DCC Crocodile June Update

JK we're still here, have some more color page previews
