Hello Awesome Backers:
Here is where we are at...a little over 50 packages went out this week. Our packing "party" will be tomorrow which will finish 300+ packages to go out on Monday. I have already arranged for USPS to pick them up. They go straight to Portland, so when you receive your tracking information it may take 24 hours for it to be registered on the USPS website.
If you haven't filled out your survey, here's the link:
AND, because I obviously don't believe in sleeping, Boston Metaphysical Society Vol. 3 Hardback and Softback will launch on May 12. We will have EARLY BIRD SPECIALS, so be sure to sign up to be notified.
Sign up to be notified.
Before I forget, my dear friend, Stephan Franck is running a campaign for his fabulous series, Palomino.
RECOMMENDED KICKSTARTER
This 6th and final graphic novel completes the stylish crime thriller set in the lost culture of Los Angeles' country music clubs.
A captivating neo-noir crime mystery, Palomino begins in 1981 Los Angeles, where we meet EDDIE LANG, an old-school, hardboiled former Burbank PD detective juggling his 6-nights-a-week gig in the Palomino house band, his P.I. business, and his teenage daughter--who might even be more hardboiled than he is!

Hello Awesome Backers:
I'm happy to announce that the books have arrived and look great.
Here's the plan...I'll be busy signing, bagging, and boarding this weekend; however, I should be able to get a few packages out early next week. The plan is to have my helper come over next weekend to pack, but I'm waiting to hear what his schedule is. No matter what, everything is going out right on schedule. Please fill out your surveys so I can get your rewards to you in a timely fashion. Message me if you need help finding your survey.
Also, Alden is done with the art for issue 3 and has started on issue 4. Yah!
Which leads to the next thing...

Hello Awesome Backers:
I found out this afternoon that there was a bit of delay getting the books out of customs, but they have cleared. The books are on their way to Portland and should be delivered to me sometime next week.
All of you should have gotten your surveys except for those who are paying over time. Those will be sent after your final payment. For those who have filled out your surveys, they will lock on Thursday. About 24 hours (or less) after that happens, Backerkit will send you an email to download any digital items you ordered.
If you missed your survey, go to this link to retrieve it.
I will start signing, bagging, and boarding the variant cover this weekend.
In other news...there are a number of fabulous Kickstarter campaigns you should definitely check out. The first has a little story I wrote in it. :)
RECOMMENDED KICKSTARTERS

Miskatonic High Issue 31 / Volume 4 Part 2 TPB
In ISSUE 31, The kids have to hold off the "Invasion of the Teenage Bodysnatchers!" In VOLUME 4 PART 2, we collect issues 28-31.
In the rustic hills of a small New England town lies the prestigious Miskatonic High School. When the Community Services Club went on a field trip they were launched back to ancient Egypt and were nearly killed by an evil wizard and his tentacle monster. They escaped back to our century, but things have never been the same. Since then, we learned some of the secrets haunting the students of the Community Service Club and that the world is not what they thought it was.

Hello Awesome Backers:
It has been a busy week. First off, I am honored that the first issue of Morgana Pendragon won the Best First Issue award at the Inaugural Zelda Awards. A big thank you to our amazing team.
AND IN OTHER NEWS...
VARIANT COVERS
They have arrived and look terrific.
STANDARD COVERS
Right now, their ETA into Portland is April 18, then they have to make their way to me. They are still going through customs so that date could change. I'll keep you posted.
METAL BOOKMARKS
They are in production and should be shipped shortly.
SURVEYS
What Backerkit calls their "Smoke Test" (which means 5% of the surveys were sent for quality control) went out last night. If all is good, then the rest will be sent out either Tuesday evening or Wednesday (4/15) morning so be sure to look for it in your Inbox.
MORGANA PENDRAGON ISSUES 3 AND 4
Alden is up to page 20, and I'll probably have more pages coming in soon from the colorist. If you don't know already, the Kickstarter for issues three and four will be in the fall sometime.
Once again, thank you for supporting this project.
More to come. Best, Madeleine
Metal Covers Arrive! More Updates!

Hello Awesome Backers:
The metal covers have arrived and look great.
If you want one, or both of these, a few will be available through your Backerkit survey. I will send out those once I have a delivery date for the books.
The metal bookmarks were delayed a bit as the vendor is busy, but they are in the queue. Variant covers should arrive the week of April 20, and I'm waiting to hear from my freight forwarder on delivery of the standard covers. I suspect the books are in customs now, and how long it takes to clear is unknowable, but hopefully only a couple of weeks. I will keep you posted.
MORGANA PENDRAGON #3 and #4
Alden has turned in eighteen pages of twenty-seven pages for issue three. I am currently doing final rewrites on issue four. Warnia has colored nine pages of issue three. So, we are getting there.
LADY MECHANIKA
For those of you who missed the Lady Mechanika: The Mechanical Menagerie Kickstarter, the first issue of the story I wrote will drop on May 6. Be sure to pre-order from your local comic book stores ASAP (Lunar Distribution. Code 0326IM0240).
More to come. Thank you!
Best, Madeleine
