Press coverage and new rewards, 22 hours to go

Update #13 · Jul 18, 2012 · 6 comments

Thanks to your support, we have made amazing progress in the last two days. We wanted to take this opportunity to acknowledge some of the press coverage and outreach that has helped our campaign.

We appreciate all of the social shoutouts we've received (on Twitter, Google+, etc), and we'd especially like to thank Mark Frauenfelder of Boing Boing, Wired former publisher Louis Rossetto, scientist and sci-fi author David Brin, Mythbuster Tory Belleci, Creative Good Founder Mark Hurst, Action Comics 1000, and Wizard World for their vocal support. Likewise, we'd like to thank BoingBoing for the support they have offered on their blog, and for featuring Kevin on the Gweek podcast. Thanks also to Bleeding Cool, Daily Grail, SocialTimes, and Seth Godin's Domino Project for their coverage, as well as Comic Book Resources and The Comics Reporter. Finally, we'd also like to thank Kickstarter for selecting us as a Staff Pick and featuring us on the front page.

We would also like to thank all of the supporters who have increased their pledges in the last couple days. This makes a huge difference, and we really appreciate it. To show our appreciation, we've added two new reward levels. Please feel free to adjust your current reward selection if these apply to your pledge amount.

For pledges of $150, you can get: Your name listed, plus a printed copy of part two and part one as set, signed by all the artists, plus a signed copy of Kevin Kelly's most recent nonfiction, a great thematic match for The Silver Cord, What Technology Wants

For pledges of $250, you can get: Your name listed, plus a printed copy of part two and part one as set, signed by all the artists, plus a printed copy of a limited edition Concept Art book with developmental sketches, research art, and extras, plus a signed copy of Kevin Kelly's thematically related non-fiction book What Technology Wants, plus an awesome original storyboard page from book one.

Thank you all for being a backer of what we know is going to be something special.
