77 hours to go in the campaign, and just a bit over $150 to hit the ashcan cover stretch goal! We're well on our way to making it.
In the meantime, though, we have the final preview page right here, where things are getting really quite intense over on the other side of Starboard City... so intense that we can't actually include words on this page because it would spoil the previous issue for all the new backers.
Here's to a great final few days!

Today has been absolutely insane. I woke up to a $75 pledge from an international backer selecting one of the higher tiers, bringing us down to $200 left.
Then, a friend of mine upgraded their pledge to the cameo + sketch tier, leaving only $100 left to 100%, with five days to go.
...And that's when one Mr. Karl Kesel stepped in.
Kesel, creator of fellow Kickstarted indie series "Impossible Jones", and some stuff for DC that feels just a bit too boastful to name-drop here(go look him up yourselves), suddenly messaged me saying that he noted how close my campaign was to its goal, and shouted me out in his latest project update. The result of this incredible kindness?
As of this writing, over $200 in a single day, from 12 backers and counting! It's been our best day since launch by literally all metrics! We've suddenly went from "maybe just barely making the goal" to jumping the gap in a single day! We're even well on our way to hitting the campaign's single stretch goal of $2411!
Wait... stretch goal?
Yep, if we can manage to make even just $1 over the original campaign's final total of $2410, then the "Debut" minicomic gets its own unique cover. Originally, due to time and budget restraints, the plan was to instead make it an edit of #1's, however if we can reach this goal, John will create another cover specifically for it! (Any further funds past $2411 will go into covering production, printing costs, and potentially even further issues.)
Finally, it appears that I've got the go-ahead that the final preview page of the campaign will be ready a bit earlier than expected, meaning that we can drop it on Friday instead of Sunday.
For now, though, have the other bonus that I previously mentioned was going to drop Friday, which you may have caught early if you backed the previous campaign, follow the artist on Twitter, or... have checked the campaign page in the last few minutes: The final version of the cover, with a bunch of small added details.
Here's to an absolutely incredible day!

We're so close to being funded, things have been going pretty great so far!
For our final New Page Tuesday, we have another page of the ashcan minicomic, showing the first version of Firebreak's costume.
We do have one more preview page from #2 to show, however it won't quite happen next Tuesday, as that's a day after the campaign ends. Instead, expect it sometime before then, along with another little extra on Friday to mark the final 72 hours of the campaign.
Here's to a great final week!

As the title says, we’re now 76% funded with 13 days left to go, things are going pretty well!
We plan to reveal two more pages and one other bonus before the campaign’s through… though as you might realize, there’s only one more Tuesday left before the campaign closes. More on that in a few days.
Also, 3/5 of the background cameo slots have now been taken, and only two remain, one with signed comics/posters and the other with a personalized digital sketch.
Here’s to a successful final two weeks!
(New Page Tuesday) 50 Backers and nearly 3/4ths funded with 20 days left!

The response to this new campaign has been absolutely incredible so far. Thanks to all the new and returning backers, we're now at an amount that we didn't reach in the last campaign until a full 24 days in!
Here's page two of the second issue! We'll be posting another page every Tuesday until the campaign ends.
Here's to an incredible launch so far!
