Project Update: Something Crawled Out update
Hi there, Something Crawled Out backers!
We've got some updates to share with you all--don't worry, nothing too scary (we'll save that for the comics).
The News
With blessings from creators Son M and MadCursed, we've decided to release our final two issues of the comic in one jumbo-sized combined issue that includes both #3 and #4 together. This will be released in shops in April, followed shortly afterwards by the full trade paperback and BackerKit-only editions in early June.
The Why
The comics market has been wonky lately, to say the least. We saw the writing on the wall and slowed our release schedule near the end of 2024 to protect our creators. In January, Diamond Comic Distributors, the largest distributor of single-issue comics in the US, declared bankruptcy after months of instability and damage, so it seems that slowing down was indeed the correct call. Now that we've had time to assess the new landscape, we're finally able to complete the series as the creators intended.
What This Means for Backers
If you purchased any physical issues of Something Crawled Out that we will not be taking to print, then you'll be fully reimbursed for the price of those comics as well as for any shipping you may have been charged so far (in the case of our physical subscription backers). Otherwise, no other action is needed from you--we'll be crediting any affected backers this week. All other rewards will still be shipping once we've got them printed and ready in a single package for you, and we'll still be completing digital delivery of the full comic (including the entire NSFW 4-part side comic, for those partaking).
"But What About--?"
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 early digital copies of Issue #3 to all backers at the digital tiers via the same email that we've sent previous issues, so please keep an eye out for that.
We thank you for bearing with us through one of the most, uh, dynamic periods in recent comics memory, and appreciate you for backing Something Crawled Out.

Heya, Collector Tier was estimated to ship end of 2024, but I don't see an updated in about 5 months. What's the status?

Some updates for you: we're starting the initial fulfillment process for Something Crawled Out backers! For most of you, shipping is still a ways off, but a select number of tiers get our attention now.
We've reached out personally to all backers at these two tiers:
- Something Crawled Out – OC cameo/ YCH
- Something Crawled Out – Issues #1-#4 physical mail subscription
For all OC Cameo tiers, please reply to the email we sent to the email you provided so that we can get you or your chosen character into an issue of the comic. And for all Issues #1-#4 physical mail subscribers, please reply to the email we sent to you all so you can choose your preferred shipping option. If you backed at any of these tiers and did NOT receive an email from us, please reach out and we'll make sure that gets to you asap!
We will be releasing a few surveys this week to a small percentage of backers, and releasing all other surveys after that. We will NOT be charging shipping costs yet, except for Issues #1-#4 physical mail subscribers, since we'll be fulfilling the first round of specific orders for the release of the series on August 21 ✨
Thanks very much, as always, and please let us know if you've got any questions!

Project Update: Schedule update, and prepping for fulfillment!
Hi Something Crawled Out gang,
Hope your July has been going well! On our side of things, production on the final issues of the comic and various items is well underway, and we're also preparing for fulfillment of certain items--including the physical and digital release of Something Crawled Out #1.
We did want to let folks know that, due to an issue at our printer (out of our hands, sadly), the original release dates for Something Crawled Out have shifted back a few short weeks from our original expectations. We'll be shipping and emailing out subscription issues based on this new schedule:

- Issue #1: releases on August 21, 2024 (originally late July 2024)
- Issue #2: releases on September 25, 2024 (originally mid Sept 2024)
- Issue #3: releases on October 23, 2024 (originally mid Oct 2024)
- Issue #4: releases on November 27, 2024 (originally mid Nov 2024)
- SCO book edition: releases early Spring 2025 (unchanged)
So, not too big an adjustment at all, but we wanted to let you know for the sake of transparency!
Surveys to collect info from backers as we head into fulfillment next month will be headed your way soon. We've also sent out emails to collect info from our custom art tier so MadCursed can get started on that too!
We'll let you know of more updates as we begin to ship the first round of BackerKit-exclusive #1 issues and bonus materials to physical and digital subscription backers... more from us very soon!
