      Hi guys, I was wondering if there was any update on how issue 2 was coming along, issue 1 was great and I can't wait to see more of the story

    3. Jay.small

      Creator Jay Douglas - Vanquish Interactive on December 28

      Not at all. We're putting together a special New Year's update to wrap up 2012 and go through the last six months and what we're looking at going forward. :)

      Why does it say "may 2015" for the $75 backer pledge?

      Creator Jay Douglas - Vanquish Interactive on September 2, 2012

      Thanks for that Toby - we are addressing the situation now, and this will be noted in this afternoon's Project Update.

      Creator Toby Squires on September 2, 2012

      Afternoon Jay,

      Only thing I appear to have received since update #22 (the 8ths) is Update #23 with the prelude link

    20. Jay.small

      Creator Jay Douglas - Vanquish Interactive on September 2, 2012

      Hi Toby,

      Did you not receive a message survey regarding this? We thought we'd sent them out to all our backers - did they not come through?

    21. Missing_small

      Creator Toby Squires on September 2, 2012

      Following the email from the 8th, when are we due to be contacted for addresses, the email said coming days which seems like we should have been contacted by now?

    22. Jay.small

      Creator Jay Douglas - Vanquish Interactive on August 30, 2012

      Nearly 100 comments! Wow!

      We'll be putting together a really nice comprehensive update from Pete and Adam soon. They are working really hard on issue one, which we're looking at a late September release for digitally.

      Those of you getting signed copies might have to wait until October for your printed first issue as Pete and Adam are going to be signing them all at New York Comic Con, so if you are going be sure to come and say hi and pick up your copy!

      As stated in the original announcement, Descent's first part will come out a little after issue 1. It's written but we need to do extra illustrations, and we don't want to disrupt Adam when he's got the flow going! Don't worry though. You don't have long to wait!

      Keep an eye out for the next update!

    23. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Giovanni Giio Marin on August 30, 2012

      And what about Descent - Pages From The Journal Of Dr John Santilli? It's that still in progress or it's already done?
