Off to the Printers!
about 4 years ago – Thu, Oct 06, 2022 at 01:34:20 AM

Hey everyone,

We've been tinkering away and are very pleased to say that we've sent Reanimator 2 off to the printers! We ended up adding a few extra comic pages which delayed us slightly, but we are on track to have the books shipped out at the end of October.  

With that in mind, here's the game plan.

The Game Plan

• 5th October - Prints & Bookplates sent to print.
• 5th October - Books sent to print (pending final digital proof).
• 14th-16th October - Lyndon is at Lakes International Comic Art Festival.
• 21st October - Books arrive.
• 23rd October - Lyndon travels to Wales (Andy's place).
• 24th-25 October - Package Kickstarter Rewards & Start Shipping.
• 28th-30 October - Lyndon is at London MCM.
• 12th-13 November - Lyndon is at Thought Bubble. Reanimator Incorporated: Chapter 2 Launch!

If you are in the UK, books should start arriving between late October to early November. For those of you overseas, expect a few more weeks shipping time. Please note that there a number of postal strikes in the UK at the moment, so there may be some delays. 

For anyone attending Lakes, London MCM or Thought Bubble, please do come say hi. I'll have giant pull up banners for Candles and Reanimator, so I shouldn't be hard to miss. The current plan is to have all the books packaged up before I go to London MCM but I wont be able to bring rewards with me for you to collect directly from. There's too many moving parts.

Thank you all so much for your support and being patient. Both myself and Andy are super excited for the books to arrive and for you all to read this next chapter of the story. We hope you enjoy it.

All the best,

Lyndon

Progress Update
about 4 years ago – Fri, Sep 23, 2022 at 09:36:31 AM

Hi everyone,

Quick update on progress.

Lyndon is putting the final touches to the book. We'll order the physical copies in the next week or so. Extras, such as prints, posters, etc. are also being ordered, as well as packing materials. 

Surveys - I am still waiting for a few final surveys. I have emailed the handful of you who haven't completed it yet, as sometimes the BackerKit emails can get lost. We need the names for the book credits, so please complete them as soon as possible.

Fulfilment - with a fair wind, the timeline for getting everything in the post is looking like the end of October. 

Chapter 3 - The first draft of chapter 3 is nearly complete - there's normally a good number of drafts before Lyndon starts on pencils, but we're still aiming for a mid-year release of #3 in 2023 :-)

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Take care, 

Andy

Backerkit surveys locked Friday
about 4 years ago – Fri, Sep 23, 2022 at 09:36:21 AM

Hi all,

I'll be locking BackerKit surveys this Friday (23rd) Sept. I will also be charging cards on this day. You will still be able to change your address for another few weeks. We'll let you know when we're dispatching.

For the final few people who've not completed their survey and have requested names in the credits, we will use your Kickstarter name.

The packing materials have now arrived. Prints and other merch will be ordered in the next few days.

The patch design will be a 'Shining Trapezohedron' (image below). We wanted to use the 'Reanimated Body' image, but the printers have advised the design is too intricate for a patch. We will look at options in Chapter #3 on how we can include this design (did somebody say T-shirts?)

Everything is still on track - fingers crossed it stays that way :-)

Take care, all.

Andy

Surveys!!!
about 4 years ago – Thu, Sep 08, 2022 at 05:14:58 AM

Hi everyone,

We're still waiting for about 10% of the surveys, so please complete yours as soon as possible if you haven't already. 

We'll aim to lock surveys down in around a week's time.

For those who've pledged with their name in the credits but haven't responded to the survey, we'll use your Kickstarter name as waiting for these responses can slow down the book production.

Otherwise, thank you to everyone who's completed the survey so far. 

Lyndon is putting the finishing touches on the book, which looks like it will total 108 pages...!

Production will start later this month. Fingers crossed, we're on track for November fulfilment.

Take care,

Andy

Hi everyone,

The smoke test went well, so all surveys have now been sent. Please complete them as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, please drop me a line or DM me via Kickstarter.

Thanks all,

Andy
