BIG NEWS! If We Make Our Stretch Goal, You Get A FREE ComiXology Download
I've been promising big news, and here it is:
***We're partnering exclusively with the awesome folks at comiXology to give you a FREE digital download of "Detective Honeybear and the Mystery of the Terrible Llamas!"***
That's right: if we reach our stretch goal of $6,112, we're going to unlock a FREE digital download code through comiXology for EVERYBODY who pledges the $10 level or above. You'll still get whatever else is specific to your reward level, plus the free punk pin and the free sticker, and now, the code too. Here's the official deets:
All backers at $10 or more will be gifted a copy of the book for free on comiXology - the revolutionary digital comics platform.
That means if you have an iPhone, iPad, Android, Kindle Fire or access to the web – and if you are reading this than you do – you will be able to read Detective Honeybear in comiXology’s patent pending Guided View across their entire platform!
Okay, official deets over. To just further clarify: if you're getting a print comic, you're still getting a print comic; and if you're getting a DRM free PDF, you're still getting that too... The comiXology code is a FREE bonus, as long as we reach that $6,112 stretch goal some time in the next eight days.
That's - as of right now - only $508 away, which is 51 people pledging the $10 level; or less if some of you want to buy shirts or something. And for those of you who already backed this Kickstarter, you can upgrade your rewards level if you like. But only if you want to. But do it. But it's okay, your choice. But do it.
Seriously, I know I say this every time, but we can't thank you guys enough for all your support. We're bowled over to have made it this far, and wouldn't have ended up with a great platform like comiXology without you folks. From the bottom of my heart, in this last week or so: thank you.

Hi Jason! At this point, I think it's just the $50 reward level, for a couple of reasons:
- it would be unfair to the people who already pledged for the Limited Edition to make it, er, unlimited. Not sure it that's the right word.
- I limited it to 50, because more than that it starts to get expensive to make a printing; and given that we already put the story free online, I wasn't sure what the demand would be.
That said! I have some ideas for more stretch goals if we do somehow, miraculously get past $6,112... But that's in the future.
Point being, yes, if you want the reprint, right now its gotta be $50. Sorry if that prices you out, and thank you for asking!
Creator Jason Fliegel on September 12, 2012
Alex --
Is there any level below $50 where I can also get the Case of the Curious Cap? Any stretch goals that would include a Curious Cap reprint?
Creator Alex Zalben on September 12, 2012
Hi Brandon! I think the only one is the $30 level, which gets you the shirt and a PDF (there's also the $55, which gets you all the swag, the print comic, the shirt, and the PDF).
If we can unlock, we'll be offering the comiXology download for sale at a later date, around when the print edition is released; but right now, if you want only a PDF, $15 is the base level where that starts.
The idea is, we want to move the print edition as much as possible, and now, if we can unlock comiXology that'll be a great bonus!
Hope that makes sense, and lemme know if you have any other questions.
Creator Brandon 'Link' Millward on September 12, 2012
Is there any level that JUST gets you the PDF?
