Thank you to everyone who has backed this project and/or helped to promote it!  Your help in making this project a reality is more appreciated than words can express.  If you have not already done so, please send me the information that will be needed for your incentive level (address, size if you were a t-shirt backer, etc...).  If you would like your name credited as something other than your screen name please let me know. 

We would also like to thank Comic Book Interviews, Broken Frontier, Igor's Lab, World of Superheroes, Lip Service and Crippled & Broken for featuring us on their sites (sorry if I missed anyone).

      Nope, we survived the zombie attacks. I am currently hard at work translating and lettering the book. We had a few hiccups, but the book is coming along.

      No you should not be. Stefano is working very hard at getting this all wrapped up. We are very sorry that it is taking this long but we also did not want to rush him and turn out a bad product. As soon as I have the last page in hand, I will be posting an update to let everyone know. Thank you all very much for your support and your patience.

      Hi John,
      Stef had a few problems when finishing the coloring of the book, but those have been corrected and he is working exceedingly hard to get this finished up. We are very sorry for the delay, but it will be well worth it. I will be posting an update very soon with the details on where you can download the pdf.
      Thanks!

      I think sending out the survey that Kickstarter provides is the best option.
