I’m getting the comics in my hands by early next month and will ship out immediately once they’re in. However, the extra wait time has done two things:

  1. Significantly increased the quality of the ashcan, now it’s a proper minicomic with full bleed pages instead of a digest style that would have borders and margins and such.
  2. Everyone gets the single-sheet version of the Firebreak #1 Case File. The backers that got it as a bonus poster are still going to be the only ones getting it as a proper poster, yet because the image came out way, way better than expected, I thought it’d be fun to throw a smaller paper copy of it in all physical orders as a way to say “hey it certainly sucks that physical orders are taking longer than expected, here’s a bonus for the trouble.”

Here’s to the comic finally shipping soon!

(Also, for those who’ve already read the digital and are wondering when 3’s happening, Ryan is moving soon and the holidays are generally a busy time. Considering that the next issue is very focused on interactions between Firebreak and… that other character, while the break is going to be longer than I initially expected, I think that Valentine’s Day is certainly a fitting time for it.)

FINALLY going to print next week!

Took longer than expected to get the ashcan and extra poster done, yet we’re finally on track again. For those that missed #2 digitally, it’ll be sent out again tonight specifically for those that missed it. The ashcan digital and other bonuses (early versions of this issue’s pages and such) will start being sent out after people get their comic shipments.

Here’s to an easy shipping process! Also, we have the finished ashcan cover, B won by exactly three votes.

Okay, NOW it's out.

"The file is nearly 300 MB, I  should compress it before uploading. Surely that won't destroy any-"

"Well then."


Original upload deleted, corrected version has been sent out through WeTransfer emails.


Here's to...a quick fix, at least!

Go get it! I'd recommend reading the first beforehand, for a refresher on the events so far in the story.


Here's to a successful launch!

Only a week left until the digital copy of the new issue goes out, and surveys close. The physical items will start to ship next month.

I’d announce the winner of the cover poll for the ashcan, yet… right now it’s literally tied. So, if you’re one of the few people left who haven’t got to the Backerkit survey yet, now’s the time.

Here’s to an exciting digital launch for the new issue!
