Despite our best efforts, Lilith #3's physical release is delayed due to our printer unfortunately misprinting this entire run 👿 Here's a video update from Corin herself, explaining the extent of the misprint, which we only found out about once copies began to arrive to our warehouses.

Obviously, this unexpected error was NOT on our bingo card for Lilith #3, and although the printer is redoing the print job for us now, there will be a delay for the release of the physical issue. But because we don't want to leave backers hanging, please keep an eye out for an email about the digital release to tide you over while we get this problem sorted.

Hi there, Lilith backers!

We've got some updates to share with you all--don't worry, nothing too scary (we'll save that for the comics). 

With blessings from Corin, we've updated our release schedule for Lilith Arc 1. Issue #3 will release next month in March (3/26 for shops--a week early on 3/19 for BackerKit backers), Issue #4 will release in April (again, a week early for backers), and Issue #5 will be on sale in early June (late May for backers), with the BackerKit and Standard trade paperback editions shipping in July (as soon as they hit our warehouse for backers).

The comics market has been wonky lately, to say the least. Vault saw the writing on the wall and decided to slow our release schedule across the board near the end of 2024 to protect our creators from potentially unrecoverable losses. In January, Diamond Comic Distributors, the largest distributor of single-issue comics in the US, indeed did declare bankruptcy after months of instability and damage, so it seems that pausing was the correct call. Now that we've had time to assess the new landscape and re-solicit the series completely, we're finally able to proceed with completing Lilith's first arc as Corin intended. 

We've made no changes to the Lilith campaign except for the adjusted timing of our printing, distribution, and fulfillment. No other action is needed from you--all covers and rewards will still be shipping once we've got them printed and ready-to-ship in a package suitable for your tier. We completely understand that this unavoidable industry-wide upheaval and delay might have affected Lilith backers negatively--we'll be making some additional digital covers and rewards available as a thank you for your patience during this tumultuous time--but we're happy to assist with refunds if these adjustments have caused a hardship. Thanks for bearing with us as we've pivoted!

If you have any further questions about this update or about your rewards or tier, please write to us at [email protected] with your question, and we'll be happy to assist.

In the meantime, we will be releasing copies of Lilith Issue #3 to all backers in mid-March, so please keep an eye out for that.

We thank you again for bearing with us through one of the most, uh, dynamic periods in recent comics memory, and as always, we appreciate you for backing Lilith. 

❤️,
Vault Comics

Hi all!

Team Lilith continues to surge forward! Corin has been kicking ass; balancing a vigorous production timeline with fulfillment for new items being produced for this campaign. Here's your December update on releases and other news (plus, check out the exclusive content section for some special behind-the-scenes art).

The Lilith Issue #2 PDF has been emailed to backers in the digital issue release tiers as of last week (or, check the same Box link that we sent for digital Issue #1... it's in there!).

You may have noticed that Issue #2 came out a bit later than expected. This is due to some printer issues that have unfortunately affected Vault's recent releases, including Lilith. That said, we wanted to make sure that backers got to read the new issue two weeks before the general release date of 12/18, next Wednesday. All backers who subscribed to physically mailed issues will receive theirs in the mail next week for the general release.

And, since we get this question a lot, the Lilith Volume 1 BackerKit-exclusive book PDF is a compilation of the first 5 issues, and will be available after the conclusion of this arc (Issue #5). We'll let you know as soon as the BackerKit-exclusive trade edition is ready to go, both physically and digitally. 

Now that we've got a handle on the new estimated release dates, we will be send out surveys to collect your addresses! We plan to do this on Monday, December 16, with a random number backers receiving theirs early as part of a smoke test.

This survey will collect your address and any shipping costs for your tier. You can change your address any time between now and fulfillment for your tier. Since this project will require several rounds of shipping, we'll send a reminder before we lock addresses, which will give you another 48 hours to update before we send your rewards.  

Please note that we will NOT yet be charging cards for shipping on most tiers. We will be shipping to reward tiers based on availability of your items. Since not all issues are printed/ released yet, shipping is expected to take place over several months. The two tiers that will be shipping soon are 1) physical subscription issues (already underway) and 2) the calendar-only tiers.

To avoid confusion, we'll reach out to you via your provided email before charging cards for your specific reward tier.

As mentioned in the campaign, to ensure that we're shipping to you at the lowest possible price, we'll be bundling all orders based on when they're all ready to ship together, unless otherwise communicated.

There are also some global shipping situations in development, including an ongoing Canadian postal strike. For any backers affected, we'll be shipping to you as soon as we're able to. If you have any questions or other concerns about your order, please reach out to us at [email protected].

And, in case we don't update again this year, hope you all have a great Winter holiday season.

 ❤️ The Lilith team, and all of us at Vault Comics
