      Hi datta, I'm still waiting on the proofs, which should get here sometime around the 20th of May. Then I wait for the advance copy which will take a few weeks.

      Hey Ryan, how's the whole thing looking now?

      @Ryan, awesome, we'll do!

      Creator Ryan Andrews on April 20

      @Patrick : The prints will be shipped along with the books. The advance prints that I got look good, but I won't have them until I get the books too so I can send everything out together.

      @Jacob : Current ETA is that I am hoping to get the reprinted books in June. The biggest delay is that the printer has to reorder the paper from Japan and that takes a really long time.

      Hello Ryan.
      Any ETA for the books?

      No stress! :-D

      hello Ryan, I would like to send you one of my comics for >\£,¥~'s and giggles. Not that I'm trying to sell myself, but I've always enjoyed trading art for art. And I think your style speaks to me pretty nicely.

      Wow, i just read "This was our pact" on your site, i'm just in love with the way you draw and story telling! can't wait for the book to come, this one, and the future ones!

    12. Ryaniconwithsign.small

      Creator Ryan Andrews on March 17

      @Lumpeneinz Thank you so much for saying that :) I've been trying not to be too stressed out about the time it's taking, but it can be tough sometimes. So far everyone has been really cool, and I haven't had any negativity, which has been a BIG help!

      Creator Lumpenheinz on March 10

      Hi, I just wanted to say, that I hope there aren't any negative comments about the delay.

      I think, that this "journey" and your kindly reports about the situation is kind of a backstory that is always connected with this book and make it even more special.

      I look forward to hold it in my hands but also liked the waiting time somehow, as well.

      Just want to cheer you up in case you're a little frightened, that this "delay" would make anybody angry about you. :)

      Creator Ryan Andrews on February 26

      Hi datta, the last proofs I got were all messed up and so they had to redo them, but they're supposed to come tomorrow, so here's hoping that I have some good news for once :)

    15. Missing_small

      Creator datta on February 26

      Hi Ryan, any update on the ETA?

    16. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Lindsay Watson on January 14

      Ryan, I am SO excited to finally see the book. It's gonna be so beautiful, and I'm so glad you're taking the time and effort to make it as perfect as you want it to be.

    17. Ryaniconwithsign.small

      Creator Ryan Andrews on January 14

      Hey Brendan, the survey will be sent out once I know the books are ready to go :)

    18. Me.small

      Creator Brendan Scott-Smith on January 12

      I picked "none" as I live in Japan, should I have received my survey yet or is that coming after the books are ready? Thanks :)

      Christian Jacobson: At the moment I'm still waiting on things from the printer, so unfortunately I don't have an ETA. It'll probably be about 2 months later than my original estimate. Sorry for the delay.

      can't wait to have it in my hands :D

      Creator fan4battle on July 30, 2012

      I think I've said before that your work is captivating sequential art, so I happily pledged for the book. Even though I have too little space to fill with new books, yours is worth a top place. Since I currently live in Japan, I did as you suggested - selected "no reward" and I'll be waiting for the questionnaire.
      Good luck with all you endeavors and also with the Japanese summer (I'm soaking up sweat right now)!

      I read the first story on your website. The one with the old woman who gives birth to a seed. I haven't even looked at the other stories. But you have my confidence. The story manages to create a desire within the reader that the characters need will be fulfilled. It is touching, tragic, hopeful and lasting. As i write this I can recall the images from memory. All of the credit that you are currently receiving is well deserved. Congrats.

      You are so cool. If I knew you in real life we would definitely be friends. And if I had $600+ saved up for a rainy day I would totally pledge it.

      hey, I just pledged for the book with sketch, if I wanted another copy of the book as a gift should I just add another $28?

      (I like in the UK if that makes a difference)

      Ryan, I upped my pledge to order two books. I think my cousin would love to have his own copy and not share mine. :)

      I want to bring up the question of if it's possible to have this shipped to an address other than my billing address again.. My billing address and shipping address aren't the same :/
