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
