Latest Updates from Our Project:

Funded!!! (Officially.)

Thank you!!! I was really worried for a couple of weeks, if you didn't notice. But you came through for me, and I am absolutely overwhelmed by your support for the strip.

I've posted about most of the next steps in a recent backer post, but forgot to mention that I will send out the PDF ebooks for Books 1 and 2 in the next few days, when I've had a chance to sleep off my anxiety from the last few weeks and rummage through the backer reports and so on.

Chapter 11 (the first one for Book Three) was already released earlier this week, of course. 

With that, I am going to go pass out from exhaustion.

Multiplex Movie Review: Bad Boys

 I could have sworn I posted this already, Kickstarter…

AND WE'RE FUNDED!

Thanks to 399 backers (and counting?), Multiplex: The Revenge is now funded!

Since, as I explained on July 27th, when things were looking far less good, by meeting the funding goal, we've sort of already met the first stretch goal, I'm not going to keep pushing for new pledges for the next 28 hours.

Thank you so, so incredibly much for making this book possible.

For you more recent backers who haven't rummaged through the updates, be sure to check out these two posts for sketch giveaways: One for a sketch of Jason, and another for a sketch of Spider-Man. (And I'll have another sketch giveaway or two or three or I don't know how many over the next year.) You just need to leave a comment on the post so that I know you're interested in the free sketch!

Next steps…

Because this happened, I have some movies to watch.

Right now I'm working on the Bad Boys movie review strip. That will go up later today. (And then I have to do Friday's strip.) I'll post the rest of the movie review strips over the next week or so in-between the regular strip updates.

Some other things:

  • I need to set up the BackerKit project page. When that happens (after I finish tomorrow's strip), I'll let you guys know the ins and outs of that. It'll be cool, I promise. 
  • Before the semester starts in September, I'd like to whittle away at some of the digital rewards like the vector backer portraits. This needs to be done before I get back to drawing the bonus comics for Chapter 12 because the very next story arc for it includes several of backer appearances (in the lobby, possibly in a theater, etc.). I'll contact the $150+ backers about getting photos and such in the next week or so.
  • I'd like to work a couple of the Cameo Pack appearances into a fast-approaching story arc, so I'll be in touch with you $500+ backers in the next week or so, as well. 
  • As mentioned in the "Story" on the project page, I won't be able to work on the book during my fall semester of grad school. I'll try to post things here from time to time, though, and work on smaller, related things.
  • Work on the rest of Book Three will begin proper in mid-December, as soon as I finish my MFA.

I think that's it for right now! Thank you once again for helping make this project a success. I couldn't have done it without every single one of you.

I need a nap.

Sorry, sorry, sorry: Confusion about the $45 and $55 level packs
over 8 years ago – Thu, Jul 30, 2015 at 09:26:37 PM

I realized I put up some contradictory posts about these three reward levels. I was fielding a lot of questions from a lot of people and got my wires crossed, like, three different times.

So. This is the official, final, what-you're-going-to-get explanation for these three levels:

  • $45 levels: JUST TWO BOOKS, PLEASE and THE STORY SO FAR PACK — A printed copy of Book Three AND Multiplex: There and Back Again (Book Two) signed by the cartoonist, all of the PDF eBooks, the Multiplex bookmark, your name listed in Book Three's Acknowledgements, and access to the Kickstarter backer posts with bonus strips, project updates and more. No sketch is included with these reward levels. My July 27th post is incorrect.
  • $55 level: THE STORY SO FAR — ARTIST'S EDITIONS — A printed copy of Book Three AND Multiplex: There and Back Again (Book Two) signed AND SKETCHED IN by the cartoonist, all of the PDF eBooks, the Multiplex bookmark, your name listed in Book Three's Acknowledgements, and access to the Kickstarter backer posts with bonus strips, project updates and more. A book sketch will be included for EACH book.

I had intended to have these be a bit different but managed to screw it all up. I don't want to confuse everyone (and myself) further by trying to explain what happened. but I wanted to post this so that no one is unclear about what they'll be getting, in case you want to lower/raise your reward level.

Sorry again about any inconvenience, and thank you for your support!
