      Firstly - congratulations! Secondly, I was wondering how much to add for shipping to Melbourne, Australia. (I added $5.. but I think you might require a bit more than that to get it here.) Thanks!

      Hi Roberto! I think an extra $5 should do it.

      Creator Steven on September 1, 2010

      It's getting close! Hopefully it will go all the way. I think this book will look amazing with all the talented people that have put so much time and effort into making it. I can't wait to see it.

      Hi to everyone. I am so proud to be part of this project and it looks like we will make it, with all the hard work we have all been doing lately. This could be the start of something new, born from the ashes of Insomnia, a new Phoenix has risen. Keep up the grt work peeps ;) Looking forward to seeing the finished project ;))

    21. Challengersrwp3.small

      Creator Michael Moreci on August 29, 2010

      Thanks for the note Paul. Hopefully you continue to enjoy the work of the creators involved, in this anthology and beyond. I'm sure everyone will land on their feet eventually and find homes for their work.

      Thanks for the support!

      Creator Paul Convery on August 27, 2010

      I discovered Insomnia though PlayStation Digital Comics, and with Cancertown, Burke & Hare and Cages on my PSP I very quickly growing to love the work that was being done by the creative teams working on the books for Insomnia, and I was very interested in a lot of the stuff that was in the pipeline.

      So it was very sad to see Insomnia disappear, but once I started to hear what the situation was really like I felt very bad for the people caught up in it and I had my fingers crossed that everything would get sorted out. Now thankfully things seem to be going the right way, and I was very happy to make my pledge to help with this project.

      Good luck to you all! :)

      Creator Michael Moreci on August 26, 2010

      Tim, it's our pleasure. The CBA was a tremendous help in a time when we (the Sleepless Phoenix collective and the former Insomnia creators) really needed it. We're too happy to help, and hope to ensure that creator's rights are protected. Although we came out relatively unscathed, it could have been much, much worse--but we knew the CBA was right there with us.

      Also, thanks to everyone who has supported us so far--almost there!

      Creator Tim Pilcher on August 26, 2010

      I'd just like to state publicly and officially, that the Comic Book Alliance is truly grateful for all the hard work that Sleepless Phoenix are putting into making this anthology work and the very kind donation they are making to the CBA so that we can continue to support creators, publishers and retailers in the UK.

      I was excited about this before I realized that Valia Kapadai was involved. Now I'm really excited-- I'm a big fan of her work, and recently got a copy her personal anthology, which is great.

      She's even going to be doing a story for my Black Label Comic anthology, which we are hoping will make it into Issue #1. (Which means it ties nicely to my current Kickstarter project...)
