DREARY Issues 3 and 4 and rewards update!

Update #13 · Mar 29, 2013 · comment

Hello Dreary Backers!

We have some exciting news for you all... Issue 4, the final issue of our DREARY saga, will be hitting comic book stores in mid-April! If you haven't picked up issues 2, 3 or 4 please go to your local comic book store and pick one up or if they don't have it in stock, tell them to order some copies! You'll want to know how our exciting tale concludes...

If your reward includes issues 2-4 you should expect it to arrive next week! Please let me know if you don't receive them.

And for those of you who are getting the Trade Paperback, we're sorry for the delay in printing. We are now planning on printing in late summer and will keep you all posted. The good news is the artwork is all done so we are close...

I hope to be able to send the PDF's of all four issues to everyone within the next few weeks as well.

In the interim, please enjoy covers 3 and 4!

All the best,

Team Dreary

Update #11 · Oct 10, 2012 · comment

Hello Dreary backers!

By now all of you should have received a personal email requesting information for your rewards. We've heard back from most of you but if you are one of the people who hasn't responded, please do so soon!

For those of you receiving issue #1 as a reward you should see it arriving in your mailbox within the next few weeks.

For all other rewards, we are a little behind schedule but hope to have the individual issues sent early in the New Year and the Trade Paperback in the spring.

We have completed issue #2! Check out the preview here: http://www.brokenfrontier.com/headlines/p/detail/preview-the-devil-is-due-in-dreary-2

Issue #3 is almost ready for lettering and issue #4 is being colored! David Parkin, our writer, will be doing a rewrite on the screenplay shortly and we are still aiming to get the movie into production next Spring.

Please tell your local comic book stores to order issues #2 and #3!

Thank you as always for your support and we look forward to sending your rewards!

All the best,

DREARY news!

Hello Dreary backers,

Hope everyone had a happy and safe July 4th!

Thank you again for all your support. Since our Kickstarter campaign finished we have been hard at work with the comic.

Issue #2 is almost finished and set to be released in October. Of course for those of you who are receiving issue 2 (as well as 3 and 4) you will be getting the issues in advance... So stay tuned.

I'll also be sending you all individual emails over the next week or so to collect information for your rewards. So be on the lookout for that as well.

As a special thank you to all of you we wanted to release another image from one of the upcoming issues... Hope you like it!

We'll continue to keep you all posted on updates through Kickstarter and we look forward to sharing the results of your generous support with you in the coming months!

All our best,

Team Dreary

It has been an incredible ride over the last three years watching this project grow into what it is today. Without each and every one of you 281 backers, all that work would have been in vain.

To all of our friends, family, and those we have never met who saw something in this project worth their support, thank you for donating your time and hard earned money. Thank you for putting up with our emails, messages, updates, and facebook posts. Most importantly, thank you for keeping our dreams alive.

If you haven't already, please “Like” us on facebook so we can keep in touch. We would love to hear from you.

We will also continue to keep you up to date through Kickstarter updates. 

We can’t wait to share the story of Dreary with you all!
