Hello everyone, Linda here! 
 
Just as Stjepan mentioned in the opening note, only one person can type, haha...and...I...have no words!
 
We made it! We actually made it!!!
 
And not just made it, we blew through all the stretch goals possible.
 
I am shocked...beyond words, sobbing on the floor. We were both hoping to just get funded but this went far beyond our wildest expectations!

I cannot even express how grateful we feel, and how blessed we are to have such an amazing readership. What started as a silly indulgence on our end is now made real.

Thank you all so much for trusting us in making this story to not only all who pledged, but to all who supported us on patreon as well as those who shared our works and left us encouraging comments.
 
You guys are the best! 
 
We love you all,
Sincerely, Stjepan and Linda

Post Campaign Details:

We at Top Cow and Rocketship Entertainment would also like to say thanks to everyone who made this such an awesome campaign to be a part of!

There are a lot of questions coming in now that the Kickstarter is over, so let's dive in:

Q: I missed the campaign - can I still pledge?

A: Yes! We have Late Pledges turned on! If you go to the campaign page you'll see this at the top above the title. You can still go select rewards as if the campaign were live.

Q: How long do I have to do a late pledge?

A: We don't have an exact date on when we're cutting this off. It will be at least a month, but we defdinitely into production as quickly as possible so you all can get your books quickly. With that said, we'll do an update when late pledges are officially going to be turned off so everyone is aware.
 

Q: When will surveys be going out?

A: We are planning on using the new Kickstarter Pledge Manager service for fulfillment. With that said, we have San Diego Comic Con next week (more details on that below), and this system is new for us so we need to familiarize ourselves with the tools and will need until about mid to late-August to get this launched.

Q: What's the purpose of the survey/PledgeManager?

A: We use these surveys for primarily two reasons:

  • To collect shipping payments and addresses for all our backers, so that we can eventually send their pledge rewards.
  • To provide backers with the ability to modify the reward tier they selected or get a last chance to add-on items. 

Q: How long will I have to complete my survey/PledgeManager?

A: Our goal is to get as many surveys completed by backers as possible, so we give around 30 days from their launch to allow everyone proper time. If you need more than that, it's ok. :) 

Q: When will my order arrive?

A: As noted in each reward tier, estimated fulfillment is set for March of 2026.

Please be mindful though of the following that is noted on our FAQ:

The delivery dates associated with each reward are based on our anticipated production schedule. They are not guaranteed and, as they are described, are ESTIMATES. Once we finish surveys and all add ons are locked we go into production on those items and will provide campaign updates throughout the process. Should dates shift, which is not uncommon, we will provide new estimated delivery dates in updates. Please note, that no date provided should be considered a locked and promised date until we have the graphic novels at the warehouse and until such time all estimated dates are subject to change. 

Q: Who can I talk to if I have questions, requests, or issues with my order?

A: If you have questions about your order, click here to DM us! Please always direct message us here on Kickstarter. We can't perform customer service on social media.

-----------------------------------

One More Add-On Item?!

So, we heard your requests, and we want you to know that we're planning on offering as an add-on item in our post-campaign survey the O.S.H.A. "Safety" Signs as a sticker set as well. Currently, they were just available as enamel pins, but you all were so great and we wanted to say thank you. More details on that when the surveys launch, so stay tuned. ;) 

-----------------------------------

Top Cow At San Diego Comic Con 2025:

Top Cow will be sharing even more news and updates on Stjepan and Linda Sejic's projects, including Punderworld volume 2, Death Vigil volume 2, Sunstone volume 1 and volume 2, 6" by 9" editions and more at the Top Cow San Diego Comic-Con 2025 Panel Saturday July 26, in Room 4 at 12:00 pm. We will also have their wares for sale at booth 2629 including prints and more. On behalf of Top Cow, thanks to The Sejics, the unbeatable support of the Rocketship team, and to you, the supporters who make all this possible!

Sincerely,

$300K Stretch Goal and Add-Ons Now Unlocked!
9 months ago – Mon, Jul 14, 2025 at 01:37:48 PM

Hi everyone,

We just shot past $300,000 in pledges a little while ago - it's a Christmas in July miracle!

This now has unlocked the Ugly Sweater stretch goal postcard for all backers at a physical rewards tier ($30 tier and higher):

Ugly Sweater Stretch Goal

Additionally, we now have 3 giclée prints unlocked for you to add-on for $99 each:

Print names from top to bottom - 1). Santa's Lap, 2). Shark Attack!, 3). Quality Reading Time!

Giclee Prints Add-Ons

Prints are 14” wide by x 20” high, printed on Moab Entrada Bright White, 290 gsm, 100% cotton archival paper and come with a certificate of authenticity!

What is Giclée printing? Giclée (pronounced Gee’clay) is a French term meaning to spray or squirt. Giclée prints use only archival-certified special light-fast inks and, if treated properly, will last a lifetime. Giclée is the best way to produce archival reproductions of fine art and photography.

To add these if you've already pledged, go to the campaign page and at the top click the "Manage Your Pledge" button:

Then click "Change Your "Pledge":

You'll be able to re-select your pledge...

...which will then bring you to the "Add-Ons" section where you can select any of the new giclée prints:

With a little under two full days remaining, $350,000 in pledges seems reachable. Will we unlock the sticker set? With your help, we might!

Thanks for your all the support!

It's Christmas...In July?!

Hi everyone,

Merry New Unlockable Stretch Goal Reward...

As we are entering the final days of this campaign, we are feeling overwhelmed by the spirit of giving...and it's not even December!

So we're going to introduce a new stretch goal reward - if we reach $300K in followers, all backers at a physical reward tier ($30 and higher) will receive this Ugly Sweater postcard (4"x6"):

Ugly Sweater Postcard

...And A Happy New Unlockable Add-On(s)?

But that's not all - if we reach that same $300K mark, all physical reward tier ($30 and higher) backers will be able to add-on (in Kickstarter or after the campaign ends), 3 different premium giclee prints:

Giclee Print Add-Ons

These prints will be available at 14"x 20" and go for $99 per print . They will be printed on Moab Entrada Bright White, 290 gsm, 100% cotton archival paper.

What is Giclee printing? Giclee (pronounced Gee’clay) is a French term meaning to spray or squirt. Giclee prints use only archival certified special light-fast inks and, if treated properly, will last a lifetime. Giclee is the best way to produce archival reproductions of fine art and photography.

With several days remaining, we think we'll get there, and who knows, maybe that $350K stretch goal still could be unlocked too.

$250K Stretch Goal Unlocked! $350K and FINAL Stretch Goal Revealed
9 months ago – Wed, Jul 02, 2025 at 09:40:54 AM

Hi everyone,

A little while ago, we made it to $250,000 in pledges! Every backer a physical reward tier ($30 level and higher) will now be receiving this Vlad vinyl sticker set:

Vlad Vinyl Sticker Set

With two weeks to go, this is already our most pledged Kickstarter - we have no words, but thank you!

With that said, we are ready to reveal our final stretch goal reward. If we reach $350,000 in pleges, every backer at a physical reward tier ($30 level and higher) will receive the Sunset Catch" pearlescent print (approx. 8.5"x11"):

"Sunset Catch" Pearlescent Print

Seems like unlocking this is more a "when" than an "if", so we'll see you all at $350K!

Thanks again! 😘
