Breaking News: More Original Art by David Rubín
almost 4 years ago – Wed, May 27, 2020 at 10:15:11 AM

Last week David Rubín created five pieces of original art for a limited tier that disappeared quickly. If you missed out, you’’l have another chance. Tomorrow, Thursday May the 28th, at NOON PACIFIC TIME, we’ll be posting 3 more pieces of  COSMIC DETECTIVE original art by David. Each piece measures 5.8 in × 8.3 inches. These will be on a first-come-first-served basis in order of backer number, so we wanted to give everyone a head’s up.

Thank you all for the suggestions for new stretch goals and new tier levels. We’re reading each and every suggestion and now we can announce a (very) limited tier will roll out tomorrow, Friday May the 22nd, at NOON PT:

5 pieces of COSMIC DETECTIVE original art by David Rubín!

Each piece measures 5.8 in × 8.3 inches. These will be on a first-come-first-served basis in order of backer number, so we wanted to give everyone a head’s up and a fair chance to get them!

Oh and while we have your attention: there are some amazing comic projects on Kickstarter right now. We highly recommend checking out CURSE WORDS: THE HOLE DAMNED THING HARDCOVER OMNIBUS. That’s right: the complete hit Image Comics series by Charles Soule and Ryan Browne is available in one deluxe, limited edition, 768 page hardcover! Check it out here:

Meanwhile, we’re still exploring shipping options. We do encourage folks who are concerned about shipping costs, especially to EU and the UK, to back the project digitally.

David is hard at work drawing the book and we’re all looking forward to sharing this story with you next year. Your support means so much to us -- this book could not have happened without you.

Thanks you!

Another of the 5 new original pieces -- see them all tomorrow at noon PST!

almost 4 years ago – Tue, May 19, 2020 at 01:11:53 PM

Shipping updated!

We appreciate your patience while we calculate shipping/handling/fulfillment. Sorry for the delay on these numbers. There are a lot of things in flux right now in the world and with printers and shipping.

We’re currently pricing different shipping options so we don’t have exact figures yet – we’re trying to source the most affordable way to do so. While we don’t have exact figures, here are the ballpark numbers:

Shipping to US

Shipping is approximately $8.86/per book.

Shipping to Canada

Shipping is approximately $18 (Canadian)

Shipping to rest of the world

First Class Int’l Shipping approximately $44 (to most of the EU, England, etc.)

Australia approximately $47 (sorry – you’re geographically far away – but always in our hearts? Very close.)

EXTRA NEWS!

Did you miss the MIND MGMT board game? Good news – you haven’t missed it (yet)! I did all of the art and design on it – and it includes 14 new mini-comic stories that dovetail with the gameplay.

If you’re interested in the MIND MGMT Board Game that recently Kickstarted – the late backer website is still open so you can get your order in here:

Because you demanded it!

We’ve added a new COSMIC DETECTIVE print by David Rubín!

Custom art by David for the print!

This 8.5 x 11" print is available with the Kickstarter exclusive hardcover -- or with the hardcover and playing cards.

Meanwhile retailers reached out to see how they can order the book and we’ve added a tier for them as well.

Keep the ideas coming! The success of this campaign has been way above our expectations - so we're going to try to keep evolving it and making it bigger/cooler!

Thanks again!
