Hi,
I hope you’re well.
It feels like a little while since I sent out an update. Like everyone, we’ve been super busy, and sometimes it’s hard to carve out the time to share the progress, so my apologies.
Essen Spiel - We travelled to Essen in Germany for the massive tabletop games convention (and managed to squeeze in some holiday time beforehand (though a lot of this was spent writing comics!)). We went to play test our game, Vs!, and I’m pleased to say we received a lot of good feedback, and tweaked the rules further. We’ve also received some new quotes from manufacturers, so feel more confident going forward and creating a Kickstarter for the project. Watch this space!
Shed Kickstarter Completed - Thank you to everyone who backed our latest campaign for the amazing Shed graphic novel by Richard Fairgray and Lucy Campagnolo. The quote has been agreed and all the files are with the printer. I expect the proof soon, and hopefully everything will be good to go. We’ve also sent out the surveys, so please fill them in!
Clodagh 3 Kickstarter Update - Proofs have been agreed, and I’m waiting for the books to turn up at BFC HQ!
Powers Fearful & Divine 2 Fulfilment - I’m expecting the signed books back from the creative team this week, and then I can continue with fulfilment.
The Shadow Over Innsmouth Part 3 Fulfilment - Part 3 has arrived, and I’ve already sent out over 250 rewards. On top of the digital fulfilment, we’re about 1/4 way through. I’m continuing to send these out - it’s the top priority.
System Error #3 Crowdfundr - We’ve only got 3 days left on our System Error 3 campaign, so please check the campaign out before it’s too late.
The Thing on the Doorstep Part 2 Kickstarter - This kicks off tomorrow, and I’d love you to sign up to be notified on launch.
We’ve also received pages for (deep breath) Seventh Sister #1 from Majory Yokomizo, Two Things at Once from Pietro, The InSpectres Volume One from Jarod Roe and David Flores, Robyn #5 from Ege Avci and Halves of a Whole (Hexes #9) from Juan Fleites.
Busy Little Bees #2 is with Emiliano Correa to draw; Four Breaths (Hexes #10) is with Majory Yokomizo; Pareidolia (Hexes #11) is with Willi Roberts; Gone 5 is with Sebastian Chow.
And, of course, the book I’ve written and will come out through Top Cow/Image continues. Issue 3 currently being drawn and looks very cool!
Conventions!
We’re going to be at MCM London on 28th to 30th October at the Excel Centre, London. Table G05 in Artists Alley. I’ve highlighted it in the graphic they sent us, but I’m not sure if it helps or not.
After MCM, we’ll be at ThoughtBubble in Harrorgate on 12th and 13th November, tables 101 and 102 in Redshirt Hall. See image below!
So, it’s going to be very busy! If you’re in the UK, it’d be great to see you at either of the above conventions!
Please drop me a line if you have any questions. I do my best to answer them when I receive them, but it’s not always possible.
Speak soon and stay safe,
Simon
