A Free Comic Book Day is Coming to $30+ Backers

Update #33 · May 8, 2013 · 1 comment

Hello All! 

Over the weekend, we celebrated a momentous occasion: Free Comic Book Day!

We were able to send our creative team and staff to 10 different comic book stores throughout the country to hand out free comics and thank our fans for their support. It is rare to find an industry that dedicates a day to thank its supporters, and we are delighted to be in the comic industry for that reason.

With the spirit of Free Comic Book Day fresh in our minds, we wanted to shed some light on one of the rewards our $30 and above supporters will be getting: FREE COMICS!

We are going to be giving you a choice of which comic book titles you would like to receive. Now, keep in mind we will not be able to offer a choice of specific issues, but we will let you choose from the following categories: 

Charmed Pack

Grimm Fairy Tales Pack

Grimm Universe Pack

Wonderland Pack

Surprise Me Pack 

Once we send out the final Kickstarter survey, we will need you to choose from one of these categories. Think about it and we'll be getting back to you soon with more details on when to expect your rewards.

We also are excited to announce that we are going to begin showing the Grimm Fairy Tales Animated pilot at comic cons throughout the country.

We will be premiering the pilot at Phoenix Comicon

Saturday, May 25th at 8:30 pm - 9:30 pm in room 232A

Also, we will be premiering the pilot at Wizard World Philadelphia

Saturday, June 1st at 12:00 pm in room 108.

That is all for now. We thank you for your support and your patience. 

We attached a few images from Free Comic Book Day for your viewing pleasure.

Warehouse of Rewards

Update #32 · Apr 15, 2013 · 3 comments

Hello Zenescope Fans!

It has been a month since our last update, and we don't have too much to report. We have been really looking forward to showing off the pilot, and getting these rewards out to you, but we are learning that pressing dvds takes some time. We are still awaiting the physical copies of the pilot to come in so we can unload them onto you awesome backers. 

A lot of the other rewards have come in, and we are preparing them for shipping. You can expect the final Kickstarter survey in the coming weeks. Please be sure to fill it out once it is sent as we will be unable to fulfill backer rewards without this information. If you have emailed the company about reward add-ons, be sure to include those add-ons again in the final kickstarter survey. 

We have attached a couple images of the rewards we are preparing for shipping in the warehouse. We can't wait to get these in your hands.

Grimm Fairy Tales Animated Pilot: First 3 Minutes

Update #31 · Mar 15, 2013 · 4 comments

Zenescope Entertainment is proud to unveil the first three minutes of our Grimm Fairy Tales Animated Pilot! 

 We have completed the pilot for the animated series and are in the final stages of getting all of our rewards together to ship out to the backers. You have all been extremely supportive, and patient as we get the rewards in order. 

 Kickstarter gave us the opportunity to ask the people if they would want our Grimm Fairy Tales animated series, and you responded yes. We didn't have to go through the Hollywood process, and still came out with an A+ product, with a ton of talent on board. Titmouse Inc and Jon Schnepp did an amazing job putting this together.  We hope more individuals with great ideas use Kickstarter as a way to make their projects a reality, but also to gauge the interest.

Also, congratulations to director Jon Schnepp on his successful "Superman Lives" documentary Kickstarter project. Check it out here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1270411036/the-death-of-superman-lives-what-happened

Pressing the Rewards

Update #30 · Mar 13, 2013 · 6 comments

We're getting the t-shirts and keychains made in the next few days, and we wanted to share the images with you. 

The t-shirt image has not actually changed at all, but we wanted you to see the awesome image separate from the shirt itself. 

Separately, we decided that the main character for Grimm Fairy Tales Animated should grace the front of the key-chain rather than Red, since she is not actually in the pilot episode. 

Also, to clarify since we have received some questions...

We have not sent out all the digital rewards as of yet, so we are still rolling them out. Don't fret, because we are going to make sure everyone gets the rewards we are releasing. If there should be any reward that will have an extensive delay or problem, we will contact the backers affected directly regarding the issue. 

Also, since Kickstart downsizes our wallpapers, here's a link to the new wallpapers we posted. http://s1157.beta.photobucket.com/user/ZenescopeComics/library/

Final products, shipping

Update #29 · Mar 7, 2013 · 12 comments

Hello everyone!

We've seen a lot of questions recently about when we're shipping rewards and wanted to make sure we reached everyone. We are expecting the rest of the rewards to come in to our warehouse this month, so we should be able to begin shipping rewards out by the end of the month. We are just waiting on an update on when we can expect the DVDs to be pressed and in our warehouse. 

We have to send all of the rewards out together, as that is why we haven't sent anything out yet (apart from some of the digital rewards). If you don't know whether you have received a code for us, check your Kickstarter messages, as that is where it would be. 

Finally, as a thank you for your patience, we have attached a bunch of new wallpapers for you to enjoy!

The next update will likely be the survey, so keep an eye out for it.
