      Hi Clayton. Do you think these wills hip out by Christmas?

      Creator Richard on November 1, 2012

      I too am curious how things are coming along, and if there is an ETA for the rest of the stuff?

      Creator Diego Ramos on October 31, 2012

      So....when's the ETA?

    17. Missing_small

      Creator Anthony B Gonzalez on October 23, 2012

      It would be nice to get these at any time that's relevant. It was expected to be finished in August.

    18. Missing_small

      Creator Jim on October 1, 2012

      Last couple updates make me regret not pledging for an 'in the book' level. They look incredible. How are things going? Any updates?

    19. Missing_small

      Creator Jim on September 1, 2012

      Hi Clayton, any idea when these will ship?

    20. Missing_small

      Creator Sovereign on August 6, 2012

      Mr. Crain, what is the plan for getting the preview issue to the shelves on comic book stores? I really don't have a clue how such a process would work, but I'd assume you and everyone else would want mass distribution of your great work. Thank you :)

    21. Missing_small

      Creator Jim on August 2, 2012

      Hi Clayton. How's the project coming along?

      WHOOHOOOO!!!! Congratulations!!! I'm so looking forward to seeing my wife as 'doomed girl' ... in the nicest possible way of course. Seriously, I was worried for a few days when the funding seemed to have dried up, but we got there ... YIPPEE! Just between you and me, if it had come down to the wire I was just going to fund the remaining balance, there is absolutely no way I would let this project not get funded. Can't wait. GO CLAYTON! GO RON PAUL!

      Wow - good progress in the last week or so, Clayton: fingers crossed: looking good though (the total and the artwork for the cover).

    29. Missing_small

      Creator Billy Lazo on May 18, 2012

      Everything is looking great! I've been enjoying the live feeds on Thursdays. Really great to watch you work and to hear your tips. I'm confident that you will get to 100% funded and that this project will be a success. Can't wait to enjoy it! Keep posting them videos!

      Creator Chad on May 12, 2012

      Great stuff here. The Revolution doesn't need to be televised - It's too awesome for that! This goes to show exactly that!

    31. Missing_small

      Creator Sovereign on May 11, 2012

      I'm thinking about getting the Doomed Girl or the "your body here" but I would like to give it as a gift and I'd rather have the hardcover for that. There isn't an option for both that I see. I previously pledged for my niece and nephew on the street sign and I am leaning toward something with my sister-in-law drawn/painted into the book and then give it to my brother since he's the comic book nerd. IDK, I'm weighing my options. God help me if they ever get divorced, lol.

      Creator RKDN Studios on May 11, 2012

      @timothy The 6k gets the preview book done that has 8 pages of story. Anything above will go to increase the amount of story pages up to 44 pages of story. Clayton can chime in if I'm wrong.

    33. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Timothy Gagnon on May 11, 2012

      Does anyone know the $6k is just for the preview book or if it will cover the whole miniseries. (can't imagine it would just curious)

      @ Michael Schultz The interesting thing about this Kickstarter project is all possibilities are in flux.

      Creator Michael Schultz on May 10, 2012

      Can't wait for this. I have been waiting to see what you would you were coming up with since talking with you at ECCC this year.

      Will the hardcover be available be available outside of Kickstarter at some point?
