  I got my book today!! I wasn't really expecting it to be here this soon, so realizing what it was made my day! I haven't actually read it yet, but it's awesome just to have it here in physical form. Thanks so much, can't wait for the next volume!
3. Creator T.J. Fuller, Jr. on July 13, 2011
  
  Decided to back for one main reason: Another "TJ"...even though he is bereft of those most noble periods.
4. Creator Carolyn Brajkovich on July 13, 2011
  
  I am so glad that I found this project. Went to your site, and spent the last 5 minutes laughing my head off! Seriously, between your intro video and your book, you are a genius! Not going to read the rest because I want to enjoy the actual book. Genius, absolute genius! Count me in for the rest of the ride.
5. Creator Mckenzie on July 12, 2011

12. Creator Martha on June 6, 2011
  
  Super excited for you! And thrilled for you to see how many folks are supporting you with the launch! And it reminds me of how talented you've always been dating back to when we were kids waiting on the next release of your stories then as well. And the anticipation level was always so much, esp. when it became your turn to get to read the latest adventure! Can't wait to see TJ and Amal in print! Congrats! You definitely deserve it. ;-)
13. Creator Sparrow on June 6, 2011
  
  I'm so happy this is coming together in an actual book!

  It's wonderful.
  Thank you for this.
  :)

  Dear E.K. Weaver,
  I'm so excited for TJ and Amal to get their own book, I've been following the comic for a few months now and it is my favorite. Every Tuesday my little brother (not so little at 19) and I look for the new pages. We adore it! I'm very happy to support you and I can't wait for volume 1!
18. Creator Gabriel S. Alves on June 2, 2011
  
  Dear E.K. Weaver,
  
  The story you tell through your art has reached so many people, me included. I really feel that your tale speaks for a little part of everyone and your creativity and hard work is what makes it all happen. I look forward to updates about T.J., Amal, and you every week. Keep being an inspiration. Keep those creative juices flowing. Keep up the (DAMN) good work!!!
  
  Thank you for what you do best,
  
  Gabriel
19. Creator Suzanna on June 2, 2011
  
  I think you are a very talented individual who writes and draws one of the most beautiful slice-of-life stories that has surpassed even my love of superhero comics I've held since childhood. Really amazing and while you have made it to your goal, I would be so excited if you got enough funds together to not even have to worry about being able to publish the rest. You deserve your success and congratulations.
