Last Chance to Change Shipping Addresses
almost 3 years ago – Thu, Jun 03, 2021 at 03:10:04 AM

Hey Everyone, 

Thank you for your patience. After weeks of sitting by the telephone, I've been informed by the printer that the book pages have been printed and they are being stitched together today (Tuesday). I had no idea how backed up they would be. I imagine that COVID has thrown all estimations of production timelines out the window. 


Assuming they ship out this week, the books will arrive on my doorstep by next week...God willing. 


Meanwhile, production on Book 2 is underway! My script is written and I've begun correspondence with the art team. More details to come. 


NOTICE: This week is the last week to change your shipping address on BackerKit. As soon as the books arrive, I will be locking the addresses and starting fulfillment. 


Cheers!

Print Deliveries Update
about 3 years ago – Tue, Apr 20, 2021 at 09:02:37 AM

Hey Everyone,

This first issue continues to be a learning process every step of the way. I have a great sense of how fast I work, but failed to take in account others. The proofs for the printer are currently under review by the printing company. Since they haven't begun printing yet, I don't think we're gonna hit our goal of shipping out in April, more like May. 

I'm grateful for everyone's patience and this learning opportunity. next time around I'll have a much better idea of turnaround times and delivery dates. 

It's funny, I was talking to an industry pro a few month back and when I told him my intended ship date he made this face:

This face makes ALOT more sense now as I definitely tried to do a full court press.  Alas, I take comfort that the turtle wins the race because these physical rewards should turn out great. 


Meanwhile, Issue 2 creation is underway with my Issue #2 draft all typed up! I will be sure to share more details in the coming weeks!


Look to the Stars!

This long journey is nearly at an end. I can't believe I'm finally able to click "Distribute" and share with everyone Torch: Reclaim the Skies #1. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. I CAN'T WAIT to hear your feedback. I'm dying to know what others think. Email me ([email protected]) or Tweet at me @AJRojekComics. 


Your digital download is available on your BackerKit Profile. You should have received an email saying your download is available.  Check your Spam Folders for correspondence from BackerKit. If you have any trouble getting your files, drop me a line and I'll hook you up. 


 It feels like the right words are escaping me, so I guess all I can say is...


Thank you and as always...


Look to the Stars,

Digital Rewards to be Released Shortly
about 3 years ago – Fri, Apr 09, 2021 at 08:03:49 PM

Hi Everyone!


I wrote a long wordy message about how we're behind schedule but just as I hit post, the last puzzle fell into place. 


Stay Tuned!

Thank You Page Names are Set in Stone
about 3 years ago – Thu, Mar 25, 2021 at 09:53:37 PM

Hey Y'all,


A very brief update that the names for the Thank You page are locked in. If you didn't answer the survey, the name on file with Kickstarter was used. 


All that's left is Joel finishing that page's design. Once that's all well and good, we can start sending digital rewards and send the file out to the printer for printing. 


to the 18 or so people that didn't finish their survey, please fill them out, I need to know where I'm shipping your physical rewards!


Cheers,

AJ
