Hi Megan! The surveys were actually sent out about a year ago. Feel free to send me a personal message if you have any questions!

When will the surveys be sent out?
Creator Kevin Paulson on April 29, 2012
You guys are awesome. Just goes to show that you have lots of fans and that will only grow from here.
Creator Jordan York on April 7, 2012
Heck yes! I was gone all day and I come back to see we're over 12k! That just made my day! Thanks everyone and congrats Quinn!
Creator Jordan York on April 5, 2012
Just upped my pledge on my 2nd account! 71 hours left. Exciting!
Creator Jordan York on April 1, 2012
how are we losing money? :( C'mon people only 6 days left to pledge. The numbers should be going up not down!
Creator Steve Broome on March 31, 2012
The new pages look great, good job.
Creator Jordan York on March 30, 2012
Anyone else want to see issue #5? I know I do! We got 8 days to get there. Let's get spreading the word and emptying our wallets :p. I'm tired of looking at the $9,837, so I'm donating an additonal $13 to make it a nice even number.
Creator Jordan York on March 26, 2012
I think kickstarter must have frozen this project. I'm not seeing any more money being pledged :( ... C'mon people just 2.4k more!
Creator Michael Weiss on March 24, 2012
Richard Atkins! You wouldn't be...no it couldn't be...someone related to the Atkins diet? Bet you've never heard that one before :)
Creator Richard Atkins on March 20, 2012
It'll be worth every penny! I have nothing but respect for the creative team behind this project. Original scripting. Great artwork. Mass appeal. Runestone will go far, and to think I have a chance to be a part of its beginnings. Wow! Once in a lifetime...
Creator Troy Johnson on March 13, 2012

Creator Jordan York on March 12, 2012
This comic looks amazing. Can't wait till I get to read it!
Creator Bubba Bollinger on March 12, 2012
I can't wait to see this come to fruition. It's been a long time in the making and I'm proud to provide any support I can to these talented artists!
Creator Michael Weiss on March 11, 2012
So excited for this, and Quinn and I have been friends for years, and I was there when he got his first gig with TMNT, how can I not donate? There is so much passion in each of the guys on this team. Can't wait to see the finished product!
Creator J-Poppy on March 10, 2012
Ive known Quinn Johnson for many years. He's the reason I'm a backer. When we were kids he was certain he'd write comic books someday...and now he does. If anyone is going to make this project happen its Quinn. Go get 'em buddy.
Creator Grim on March 10, 2012
PLEASE tell me that at some point will will be able to buy that action figure, either on kickstarter for an extra pledge amount or on your personal site....
Creator Hiphopanonymous on March 9, 2012
You can tell these guys are really passionate about this project... writing since 9th grade, 10 years in the making, and 3 years worth of scripts? How can you not support this creator-owned comic?
Also, props on making your goal "over 9000!!!!!" That was intentional right? :D
Creator frijolie on March 8, 2012
Happy to support creator-owned comics. The fact that they're local (to me) makes it even better!
