Hey friends! After getting covered in snow here in New England, we dug ourselves out to find the EPIC #1-5 launch has now cleared $10K in funding.
It's always a thrill to hit the 5 figure mark on a launch, which helps us cover most of the creation costs, cover our printing bills and keep the series rolling strong! Much appreciated!
We know we have a lot of cross-project backers, and we wanted to let you know that the books for our last campaign for the SINK: HALLOWEEN SPECIAL just arrived and came out great.
One of our favorite covers is the LENTICULAR COVER... how cool is this one?
Note, if you're a LENTICULAR FAN, know that we DO have a lenticular cover for this launch...
This lenticular is available as a pledge level... or as an add-on to any pledge!

We know that many of our backers are artists as well... hobbyists, amateur and pro alike. We had a few requests for ARTIST EDITION sketch covers for this book.
Well, we don't usually do Sketch Covers for anything but first issues... but I have some good news. We've been going through our EPIC archives to prep for the shipping of this project shortly after it wraps and we found a small stash of EPIC: Pilot #1 Artist Edition Sketch Cover Blanks!
This was a limited to 100 printing of books, so they're quite rare. We just added them to our Add-Ons, so if any artists out there want to take a crack at doing their own EPIC cover... or commission one from their favorite artist, please go right ahead and grab an add-on today!
Only 10 of these are available!

P.S. Some great superhero and action comics on Kickstarter right now... including an awesome looking project from living legend MARK WAID!
ALPHA CLASH: Rising Empires is a story where individuals with extraordinary powers begin disappearing across the globe, and a new generation of heroes and villains is drawn into a conflict that threatens to reshape the future.
EPIC / NIGHT WOLF CROSSOVER SPECIAL DEAL + CHEAPER INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING RATES!

Hey, there EPIC backers! We've got a special treat for you!
EPIC / NIGHT WOLF CROSSOVER SPECIAL DEAL: BACK TWO GREAT CAMPAIGNS & GET A FREE EXCLUSIVE PRINT!
We've partnered up with our good pal Rob Multari, the veteran Kickstarter creator of NIGHT WOLF for a special CROSSOVER PRINT DEAL you're not going to want to miss!
Everyone who backs both the Night Wolf #1-11 and EPIC #1-5 at a physical tier will get a physical copy of this 5x7 print featuring EPIC losing his powers because he flies by the lycan head-turner Snow Paw by artist Evan Scale. (Digital backers will receive a hi-res digital version!)
That's it! Back TWO AWESOME CAMPAIGNS and get ONE AWESOME Bonus Print for Free!
🌏📦INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ERROR IN YOUR FAVOR!
A prospective backer asked a question about our CATCH-UP TIER shipping rates, which alerted us to the fact that we had miscalculated the weights on our EPIC CATCH-UP TIERS, overestimating their weights and thus showing a higher likely shipping cost for our INTERNATIONAL BACKERS.
Big whoops! Here's an updated shipping chart... So if you're grabbing the catch-up tiers, it's going to only cost you around +$24 for international shipping in Backerkit after the campaign instead of the ~$40 we originally had listed.
US SHIPPING is still FREE. (Sorry, we can't do any better than that for ya!)
Thanks again for helping us start the year off with another win! Let's keep it going!

Hey, friends! Hope you're week is off to a good start. I'll be honest, I'm a little sore from taking my soon-to-be 8 year old snow tubing for a few hours yesterday. It was a lot of fun and a great way to spend the MLK holiday here in the states.
We're thrilled to be closing in on 200 backers... and while nearly 75% of you are returning and in some case OG longtime ComixTribe backers, there are still a bunch of new folks discovering us here on Kickstarter and supporting one of our projects for the very first time.
If you're new, please know that we've been launching and fulfilling projects here on Kickstarter since 2012... we've done this Kickstarter thing over 40 times and we're damn good at it! But we never take your continued support for granted and appreciate everyone who jumps onboard.
Especially for the new folks around here, I wanted to point out a super limited GRAPHIC NOVEL SHELF BUILDING BUNDLE featuring all of my graphic novels other than EPIC at one discount price.
I'm also hoping to share some AMAZING NEWS about one of these series later this year that I know long-time ComixTribe fans are going to be super stoked about.
