Mailing update

Update #19 · Apr 14, 2013 · 2 comments

Hey guys — thanks for your patience on the mailing of the comic book. In case you're wondering where your comic is: We printed up and mailed out a small test batch two weeks ago but there were some printing problems, so we've gone back to press with a corrected version. We'll be sending out a large batch of comics later this week. 

Yes, the fulfillment portion is always a beast. Originally we were thinking it would take us a few weeks to get everything out the door, but it's looking like the whole process will take about four weeks. That said, we're committed to wrapping this up by the middle of May. 

Again, thanks for your patience and stay tuned! Any questions or concerns, shoot me a message.
