Update #12: Johnny Recon Reaches Its Goal!
Posted on January 19, 2010
Hi Everyone!
Eight words to start off with: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! When Mitch and I started seriously talking about creating a comic together about three years ago, neither of us could have, in our wildest dreams, thought we would be where are now: working on a second issue in the series and knowing that there’s so many people out there that believe in us and believe there’s really something special here.
All of your kind words and support have fueled a creative fire in the two of us that just doesn’t seem possible to extinguish. To not only meet our goal but also exceed it is beyond comprehension, and the two of us have been in a surrealistic daze the past 48 hours. It’s thanks to all of you.
We have received a couple questions concerning the allocation of money beyond our pledge goal. Please know that, if you continue to support us, all money will be used to help us bring Johnny Recon to the masses, whether through funding convention costs for the second issue or covering the production and printing of subsequent issues.
We will be posting a video shortly so we can virtually show all of you our appreciation in-person. Thank you, again, from the bottom of our hearts, for sharing our dream.
All the best,
Scott

Hey, you guys are doing a great job and I'm glad to have been a part (in a small way). I'm so stoked to see that you raised monies in excess of what you were hoping for. That is fantastic! I just want to say "good job" to Mitch on his online promotion efforts. I think that by just putting himself out there, being such a giving/honest guy has helped your Johnny Recon efforts. You guys keep doing what you're doing and you'll have my support and, I'm sure, much continued success.
Thanks so much, Oran! Very kind of you to say all that. We just have so much fun doing what we're doing that we want to share that fun with everyone else.
