Whats happened to you guys?
Thank you so much, John! The two of us are absolutely overwhelmed with excitement and so unbelievably grateful for all of the support we've received from our backers! Thank you all so much!
CONGRATULATIONS TO MITCH AND SCOTT!!! I'M SO HAPPY THAT THE KICKSTARTER PROGRAM FOR JOHNNY RECON TURNED OUT SO WELL!!! CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY BOOKS!!!
Hi Jason! We've definitely been talking about it! I know a bunch of the artists on the blog still plan on doing Johnny illustrations before Monday, so we're going to see what everyone does and then see who's not in exclusive contracts, etc.
If I had my way we'd fine a home for each and every one!

Wondering if you guys were going to include the Johnny Recon Twart art in a future issue?
Love what's going on over at the Comic Twart blog and want it to contine! can't wait to get my paws on those Johnny Recon comics!
John, it's a HUGE possibility! And I like where your head is at!

Is attending SDCC 2011 a possibility? It would be such a lark to meet and talk with the creators of Johnny Recon. RECON RANGERS! JOIN ME IN PLEDGING A LITTLE EXTRA TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!
That is truly a bummer... but I understand. I'm in SoCal already so it's an easy trek for me.
Looking forward to reading this book. Digging the Twart blog stuff too! FUN!
Thanks, Matthew! We won't be in San Diego this year, unfortunately. Very unfortunately since SD is my favorite city in the US!
If you'd like a copy of issue No.01, we've set it up so you can save some $$ and just add $5.00 to your pledge and we'll include a copy of No.01 in your Reward package.
Thanks again!
M!TCH
I'm digging what I'm seeing from you guys! I'll have to figure out a way to pick up a copy of issue #1. Will you guys be in San Diego for Comicon this year?
Thanks, Jenna! Welcome to the Recon Rangers!
M!TCH
I love the art! I can't wait to read the story! I'm truly excited for this project!
Thanks, Andrew! Also thanks so much for the pledge. We'll keep you updated on all the progress.

This looks great guys! Can't wait to check it out!
At this time I can neither confirm nor deny a presence of Time Raptors. ;)
M!TCH
I hear episode 3 has . . . TIME RAPTORS.?!
Thanks, John! We hope so too and it's looking like he will ;)
M!TCH
This is so awesome!!! Now that the pledge has been met, I can't wait to see what you guys have in store for issue #3. I think kickstarter was a great idea, especially with all the neat and generous rewards that were offered. Much success to you guys and I hope Johnny Recon is around for many more issues!!
Hi, Richard, that's a great point - we don't consider any supporters from our northern neighbor as international, and we've adjusted the project language to reflect this fact. Thanks for stopping by!
Some people think of "International Shipping" as being "includes Canada" and some others don't ...
Regular shipping isn't all that much pricier to Canada when compared to sending to Zimbabwe, is it?
Hi Kendra, Your best bet is to just pitch your idea to the Kickstarter team directly. If you need any help, we'd be glad to help, otherwise best of luck!
