Very glad to see this project live on Indiegogo.
I backed it immediately

Looking forward to this. Backed!

*DrSpengler* · 08-07-2017, 06:47 AM

Backed! (Of course)

Cheesebrush · 08-07-2017, 09:02 AM

OK, so it's more expensive than Odyssey. I'm also in the UK so shipping is expensive too.
And to top things off I'm currently unemployed. But I know I'd kick myself if I didn't get a copy, so.... backed!

When will this actually see print?

I put "10/2018" as the drop-dead line in the sand on there, but if all goes well, quite a bit before that. It could be as early as January, even this December. There's really no reason we couldn't, as long as the funding is in place and assuming all of the artwork comes in in a timely manner (and there's no reason to think it wouldn't).

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 08-07-2017, 01:04 PM

So did you pay up front out of pocket? Are you using Indiegogo to recoup the total cost of the project?

I paid for the first batch of pages out of pocket. The campaign will fund everything else.

It's looking great! Thanks for continuing the Mirageverse, Andrew!

One question, though: Can I manually pledge $123,00 without choosing a perk to receive 2 physical copies ($100,00) and 1 digital copy (additional $5,00) incl. international shipping ($18,00)?

funatic · 08-08-2017, 01:05 PM

Also would you consider a slightly discounted pledge to get 2 copies of the printed book? One for collecting, one for dissecting (with my eyes). I understand if you can't cut it with printing costs though.

Diorm · 08-09-2017, 07:29 AM

Backed but good god is it expensive to live in Canada...
And I was wondering, isn't there any "Special Thanks" credit within the credits page if we buy the physical pledge?

*oldmanwinters* · 08-09-2017, 08:11 AM

Just now noticed the top perk is a "create a character" option. That's pretty clever, and I'm curious to see if anyone will take advantage of it. It feels genuinely 90s, when all those companies offered a "see yourself as an action figure" or "see yourself digitized into a video game" promotion.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 08-09-2017, 09:37 AM

If I could justify spending the $600 I would do it, as effeminate as it is for male fans to create fan characters based loosely on themselves

Sure. It appears you can click "Pledge" and put in the custom amount. Make sure you put in "BJaxx87" as your name so I know.

I'd like to, but I don't know that we want to end up with a credits page that has 200 names on it.

I actually really want someone to pick that, and not just because it gives us a lot of road. It could be a lot of fun.

*Mayhem* · 08-10-2017, 02:58 AM

I already RPG as an anthro wolf mercenary, so it would be fun to throw him into the mix for the comic (along with his sarcastic AI buddie, and I created them before the first Ironman movie came out). I just can't spare $600 right now heh.

funatic · 08-10-2017, 10:03 AM

Let's see... if 60 of us all pitched in $10... Introducing the amorphous blob character who has 60 names written on his skin!

I am curious how essential or non-essential this "placeholder" character might be to the overall plot. If nobody buys that incentive, will the role just be filled by a generic character or something designed by Andrew/Jim Lawson?
