Thank you, Natalie, that is very kind!
Good job! Something great takes time, enjoy your project!
Thanks Daniel!
Awesome project, man! Congratulations on making it!!!
Thank you, Franz, that is super sweet! (this is Alicia answering, btw, lol)
Threw down some duckets. Good luck to you guys. I only know Matt, but I remember Alicia being nothing but a kind person, so here is some karma to her family. Make sure you do SDCC next year, you'll need an experienced S.D. resident and Comic-Con goer to watch your booth while you network so put me on your list.
Thanks Angus!
This looks like a great project! Good luck, Adam!

Best of luck, Adam and co.! Here's a blog entry I did about the project http://adrielhampton.blogspot.com/2010/09/todays-kick-ass-entrepreneur-adam-comic.html
Thanks Richard! We'll probably hit you up for that info, depending on how everything goes. We actually stopped at a shop in Portland on our way up to Emerald City Comic Con one year and it was AWESOME. And now that you mention it, we remember them having a huge self-published section. So thanks again!
Hey there. Matt got me involved in this project and I hope you guys do great! Just to let you know there are a few shops up here in Portland, Oregon that sell self-published titles - let me know if you like more info ill pass it along. Hope it goes well and looking forward to issue #1
Rich
@dommer2029 Wow, thank you for the questions. If we make our goal of $3,500 we will break even on this first issue. We are only raising funds for issue one. The $3,500 will cover the printing costs of 500 copies, the cost of hiring the four artists involved in this project, and the convention costs of the comic book convention where we would like to debut THE AMAZING FIST.
We hope to sell this comic at conventions where we will also generate interest for issue two (possibly another kickstarter project down the line). Any remaining issues will be distributed to shops that we have established contacts with in the San Joaquin Valley and San Francisco. Those shops do not have a "self-published bin" - the comic will be displayed alone locally (San Joaquin Valley) and on more of a "self-published shelf" in San Francisco :) Of course some issues will be mailed to kickstarter backers as incentives and sold by word of mouth. A lot of people we know have been watching the progress of this project and are almost as excited as we are to finally see it in print.
You are absolutely right about the incentives and we will edit them accordingly! Good eye!
Thank you for your interest. If you have any other questions, please let us know!
Potential backer here, but I'd like more information on the plan.
So you get $3,500, and then what happens? Do you use that to publish X copies of Amazing Fist #1, and hope that retail sales will give enough money to publish the next issue? Or will $3,500 be enough to publish all 4 issues even if sales are slow?
Once you have issue #1, do you have contacts in place to do the distribution? Or will the book be on sale only in, say, the six comic shops nearest to you, hidden in the self-published bin?
Finally, the higher backing amounts don't list it, but would I be correct in assuming that the Limited Rewards come with a signed copy of issue #1 and acknowledgement in the donors section?
