Update #4: Hurray! Nix #4 is on its way!

Posted on December 22

Howdy Nix fans and supporters!

I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that the comic is at the printer now and I'll be picking them up on Wednesday the 28th!  That means they'll be in the mail by the 29th and in your hands early January!

Thanks again!

Ken

PS: Watch for cool stuff coming from Nix in early 2012!  This year was a safe little test run... next year I'm gonna open up a little and see what this rig can do!

Update #3: Thank You Everybody!

Posted on December 11

Hi All!

Thank you so very much for your pledges to the fourth issue of Nix Comics Quarterly!  Your generosity flatters me more than I can say!

The artist deadline is this Friday, December 16th and I will submit the complete book to the printer in fairly short order.  My current schedule has me picking up books on the 28th. (Cross yer fingers!  Its a tight schedule, but I really want to try and get all the pieces out to you before December comes to a close!)

I will be sending you surveys tomorrow requesting your address.  If you have pledged to me in the past and moved, please make sure that I have your current digs on record.

Feel free to send me any questions either through kickstarter or ken@nixcomics.com.   You can keep track of all other Nix-News at twitter.com/nixcomics/ and or facebook.com/nixcomics 

Have a great holiday!  I'll be in touch soon!

Ken

Update #2: Down the Home Stretch!

Posted on December 7

Heya Backers!

Four days out from this campaign wrapping up.  Thanks to everyone for your generosity!  It means a lot to me and the artists I've recruited for issue #4!

If you haven't checked out the project page for a while please take a gander at some of the teaser art I've added, including pages by Bob Ray Starker, Andy Bennett and the Poster by Ryan Brinkerhoff that all of you will be receiving with your pledge!

If I can impose on you for one last favor, please pass the link around on facebook, twitter and g+ one last time.  http://kck.st/vkjmmy  I'm at my goal now, but I'd like to put a little extra cash in the artist's pockets for the holidays by selling some of their original pages.

Thanks again and I'll be in touch soon!

Ken

Update #1: Free Poster Added!

Posted on November 12, 2011

I'm excited to announce that Ryan Brinkerhoff is going to contribute at for a free poster to be included with every issue of Nix pledged for on Kickstarter!  (So no need to adjust your pledge...)

Riffing off of Michael's cover theme, the poster will be a "Gig Poster" for the monster hunting Vicar! He hasn't completed the art yet, but take a gander at the posters he's done in the past!  http://www.banditodesignco.com/index.php?/project/gig-posters/

Thanks for your support so far.  Please pass on the link to project to your friends!
