      No, thank YOU, Ron. I'm glad the books arrived safely. Thank you for being patient. I know they took a while to arrive.

      Hi, I see in January you still had some issues to send out. Have they all been yet, because I'm still waiting on getting my first two issues.

      Any updates on the pin up reward?

      Hey Rachel, still looking for my copies. Getting close to a year...lol.

    7. Rach-dull.small

      Creator Rachel Deering on January 6

      Hey Ron, I only have a few short stacks left to send out and then I will be completely finished with the issue 1 and 2 bundles. If you haven't received yours yet, it's probably in the stack. Thank you so much for your patience.

    8. Jangoavatar.small

      Creator Ron Vink on January 6

      Any news on shipping of issues #1 and #2? Still have not received mine.

      Creator Amy Clark on December 20

      I received issues #1 and 2 last week and finally got the time to read them. Fabulous work!! If I have some fun money later on, I will definitely have to look into buying the rest of the series! Thank you so much! Congratulations again on the successful kickstarter, and best wishes on the upcoming issues. :D

      I also ordered the first 2 issues and was wondering when I'll receive my copies? :)

      Rachel,
      I ordered issues 1 and 2 and have not yet received them. We recently purchased a house and will be moving within the next couple of weeks. Can you tell me when to expect shipment?

      Thanks!

      Creator Dale Cusack on September 28, 2012

      Thats cool Rachel, I just wanted a definitive answer so I'd know not to keep harassing the mailman. The waiting makes the wanting, which makes the reading all the more rewarding.

    13. Rach-dull.small

      Creator Rachel Deering on September 27, 2012

      Hey Dale, The people who ONLY get issues 1 and 2 should have their shipments soon. The people who get all 6 issues will get a bundle at the end of the run.

    14. Missing_small

      Creator Dale Cusack on September 27, 2012

      Hi Rachel, What was the resolution of the vote on shipping? Are you holding them all to ship in one go or not? I see below you say you have already shipped one and two. I haven't received anything so can please advise either way whats going on?

      This is a kickstarter for a wristmounted pencil case that my friend launched. I have seen it in use and it is a quality product. So check it out.

      Is it ok if I advertise my friends kickstarter here?

      Sounds good. Thanks for the update.

      Looks great. Can't wait to receive it and future issues.

      Still working on that Baltimore trip to hang with you and the Keene guy.

    21. Rach-dull.small

      Creator Rachel Deering on August 1, 2012

      Hey Ron. Issue 1 has been sent out. People who got issues 1 and 2 will have theirs sent together to save a bit on shipping.

      Rachel, I think I may have missed a window to send you my address when my wife & I donated for issue's #1 & 2. I also wondered if there was a way to make another donation to get issues #3-6. If you could contact me at ComicversesKC@yahoo.com I'd appreciate it.
      Thanks, Chris.

      Also loved issue #1, glad the project was fully funded.

    25. Rach-dull.small

      Thanks so much! Issue 2 is even better, so have an extra pair of underwear ready for its release!

      Holy shit!!! Issue 1 is Amazing!!!

    27. Rach-dull.small

      Creator Rachel Deering on May 16, 2012

      Hey Drew, you didn't miss anything. I learned my lesson last time about sending out the survey too early. People's addresses change like the wind! I'll be sending the survey in a week or two!

    28. Missing_small

      Creator Drew Larson on May 16, 2012

      Did I miss the survey for the backer’s information? The last update has me a bit confused.

    29. Rach-dull.small

      Creator Rachel Deering on May 6, 2012

      Hey John, issue 2 should be finished sometime around the end of June, so I'd like to have the ads ready by then.

    30. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator John B Badd on May 6, 2012

      Rachel, I have the add in the back of issue 2. I was wondering when you will need that buy so I can have it complete and up to date?

      Creator Rachel Huntress on May 5, 2012

      I got my first comic in the mail last week!!! I love it, but to continue the story is necessary because it only gives so much away.

    32. Mmm.small

      Creator Maria Mercedes Martinez on April 30, 2012

      Very happy for your success and looking forward to the comics!

      I used www.jakprints.com, but I wouldn't recommend doing t-shirts unless you do a 1 or 2 color design, OR you put them in a very high tier reward. Doing a small print run of shirts costs a lot more than I had anticipated.

    38. Android.small

      Creator Robert Driskell on April 30, 2012

      Hey, who did you go through for the T-shirts, thinking about doing it as a reward and promotional for comic-cons...

    39. Rach-dull.small

      Creator Rachel Deering on April 30, 2012

      @Huy - I sent you a message!

      @pedasn - No worries, friend. You have supported me, and that's all I can ask for. I really appreciate your help, and I can't wait to get the comics out to you.

    40. Garfield-garfield.small

      Creator Pedasn - "Asylum" Backer on April 30, 2012

      I'm sorry i can't help more, but none of my friends read comicbooks. i've postet it on a few website and in the banner saga threat. i hope there are some 2k flying around and find the way in your pocket.....
      normally, i don't read comics myself, but i liked your artstyle, the scenario and i think it will be a great collectible :) best of luck

      Hello!

      I absolutely love the artwork (its similar to a look and style I'm trying to get with my book) and the story is so fun! I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to pledge for the first issue!

      I had a question, I'm pledging for the issue 3 ad space, but I also added another 25$, total 175$, so that I can also request pdf copies of issue 1-6, would that ok?

      Hopefully one day if I ever get done with the 1st issue of my comic you can take a look ;). Thanks, so glad to have a chance to pledge!

    42. Rach-dull.small

      Creator Rachel Deering on April 29, 2012

      Hey Jeff, thanks so much! I currently have 5 books in production, so you'll definitely be hearing more out of me! Just for you, here's a 5 page preview of one of my upcoming tales! http://www.racheldeering.com/preview/preview2.html

      Creator Rachel Deering on April 29, 2012

      @Justin - That's fantastic! I'm so glad my book had that special something to pull you out of a 10 year lull in comics purchases. I can promise you that my book is not typical comics fare, and I believe you'll fully enjoy the experience! Thank you SO much for your support!

    45. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Justin Speyer on April 29, 2012

      When I saw that I could get copies of the PDFs as well if I bought the print copies I couldn't resist. I'll have you know this the first comic I've purchased since I broke the addiction nearly 10 years ago ;) Very excited to read the PDFs and get my hands on print copies too.

      Ok...so maybe I bought the 48 issue compilation of the Walking Dead...but I think that puts you in rare company.

      Beautiful work!

    46. Missing_small

      Creator Jacci on April 28, 2012

      Proud to finally back you my love!! When I go back to work, I will definitely pledge more than $5, being on maternity leave right now has severely docked my budget. I hope you clear every hurdle in your path!!! So proud of you!! X's and O's from my family to yours!!

    47. Rach-dull.small

      Creator Rachel Deering on April 27, 2012

      Hey IHomerJ, great to hear! The rest of the series is going to be miles better than the first issue. Now that we have the intro stuff out of the way, we're ready to get to the good stuff!
