Hey Backers!! Thank you all for being very patient with us. I have some updates for ya...some kinds disappointing and some very exciting!!! Let's start with the UGHHH dork moment for me...I Joey Galvez sent out the trading cards to be printed but did not make sure my address was changed in the setting of my profile with the printer so who's a big dork this guy cause the cards have been in limbo being shipped all over the valley looking for me...
They won't sit in one facility long enough for me to call and change the address at the USPS so unfortunately I will have to go to the printer and ask for them to re-print and and ship...cross our fingers they are understanding.
Ok cool news !! We were waiting on the last few articles to be turned in and now we have them and in the design and layout phase!!
Once we have all the design elements in place our team of Benjamin W. Morse our Lead graphic Designer and Lynsey G our Editorial Director will be the 2nd and 3rd set of eyes to proof everything before sending to print!!! At that point we will send out surveys and digital rewards...then on to Print day.
We are on track to go to print in June-July if we can get it done sooner we will!!! we are planning to use Comics Well Spring for the standard Issues and Hero and Villain Designs based out of Glendale AZ to print 50 of our gorgeous Embossed homage variants. we will then be subject to the printers timeline which we will update every step of the way!! Thanks again I'll send out ONE more update before surveys god out so keep an eye out!!
LOGLINE: A peccatophobic father is prescribed medical marijuana, has to come to terms with entering this new world, that makes him a more attentive father & husband.
When we left our heroes, they were in a desperate race against time as a truly MASSIVE monster awoke beneath their feet. Now, they're running and fighting for their lives as they try to escape the horde of kaiju in order to warn their fellow robots.
