We made it!
Word cannot express how much we really appreciated your support and generosity. This project has been an exciting roller coaster ride, especially toward the end. We crossed the finish line, because you made it happen. The support we received from the Kickstarter community was overwhelming; we were moved, excited and humbled by the experience. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH!
Now the work begin :) actually we're currently working on the second arc and will post update as we go along. The next step in the coming weeks will be prepping for printing poster and prints, ordering shipping supplies and taking the survey. More details to come.
In the meantime, we would like to credit everyone's name in the first issue. This will include those who pledged a dollar and above :) Your name will be listed under the title of "Producer" and "Executive Producer" for those pledging $500 and up.
Thank you again and good night!

Thanks :)
Ju7st wanted to make sure ,)
Creator Hoang Nguyen on April 16, 2012
Hit the post comment before I could finish writing :)
Thank for your breakdown Jared, that was really handy! I'm going to throw a signing party and we'll see how long we last before our hands and wrists gave out :)
Creator Hoang Nguyen on April 15, 2012
Hey Ivan, the 40K milestone is the "Ashcan Comic" and it's only exclusive to Kickstarter backers. You can see all the details in the Update #11: Kickstarter Exclusive Ashcan comic.

Heisjustauser, I'll make sure that all of the international order have a tracking number and the customs invoice. I actually sent a few package oversea in the past :)
-
Hey Jared, I actually make a few mistakes myself :)
Creator Heisjustauser on April 15, 2012
So happy this worked. By the way I hope you use a trackable shipping option for international shipping. Would hate to get my copies lost somewhere on the way. And please remember that there needs to be a customs invoice on the outside :)
Creator Ivan Capuchino on April 15, 2012
"When we reach the 40K milestone, we'll announce an exclusive gift to all backers (no, it's not a t-shirt) This will be a rare item that is only available on Kickstarter."
Just wondering what this is going to be. ;)
Creator Jared Trezise on April 15, 2012
Carbon Grey* even, not Carbon Copy, how embarrassing! ._.
Creator Jared Trezise on April 15, 2012
Congratulations!! =D
(Sorry in advance for my long posts...)
-
It looked a little worrisome halfway through, but you guys cleared over the goal by the end!
-
I think in the end trying to promote to my two busy comic book stores did less than telling a single friend of mine who worked at a place that I didn't realise also sold comics. =P He's a much more persuasive recommender than me, and he even said he checked the business catalogue (or something) and might be able to order in Carbon Copy comics for the store in the future. Now I know where to shop for future instalments! =P
-
Also, Awesome!! =D I wasn't expecting anything like the thanks in the issue. I managed to grit my teeth and up my pledge to $250 before the end. =P $500 was really tempting, but I just couldn't afford it at this stage. =( Darn uni fees. =P
-
Those lucky ducks that couldn't afford to pledge $10, but still put money in anyway, made the right decision! =D

But still, 2000+ signatures. Sounds like somebody's wrist is going to be sore... Don't damage it! =P
