Any update on digital copies? Have yet to receive mine.
I've gotten mine. A good read!
Hi there.. Any updates on shipping?
Oh, I see. Fantastic. Look forward to it.
Hi Mana!
We are just wrapping up the files to be sent off to the printer, so we should be sending all the digital copies out within the next few weeks.
Hi, did the digital copies get sent out by any chance? I didn't get one yet. Thanks. Look forward to reading this.
weeee I'm so glad you guys made it! ^__^ congratulations all, and I can't wait to receive my copy! ^__^ <3 xxx
Hope you enjoy the book, Ben!
Thank me for the information?
Nonono, thank YOU.
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!
Well done every one!
I found out about this project through Paul there via the PlayStation Digital Comics forum. I'm a fan of Cancertown and I wanted to help out. So I just threw in my pledge. Looks like ya made it! Congratulations!
Hi Roberto! I think an extra $5 should do it.
Thanks!
Hi there, how much for shipping the book to Mexico City? Thanks a lot!
Thanks Susan, glad that worked out!
And Ian, thanks as well--I'll do the same for you, spread the word. We all have to support each other, spread the word. I may make it to NY for the con, so maybe I'll see you there.
nm; there was one left -- ignore my last comment. :]
any chance you could add more thank you page rewards?
So close! It looks like you're going to make it-- I'll try to help spread the word.
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 ;))
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!
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! :)
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!
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...)
I'm looking forward to owning and reading this comic, I really hope you guys reach your total - I've spread the word everywhere I can think of! :)
Good luck with your Kickstarter, guys! The anthology looks great, can't wait for my copy.
