Dropping by to provide a quick update
It seems that there was an issue with the very last batch of books that got sent to the final round of backers. After working it out, I have finished packing replacements and printing shipping labels for the few that were affected.
They will be picked up in the morning with comp copies to the other creators involved. This means that ALL comics will be delivered in the U.S. by March 4th and international by March 22nd.
If the replacement copies have not arrived to you by then, please reach out to me directly so I can get the issue corrected (again) as soon as possible.
All returning backers from the previous campaign(s) and Early Bird backers (First 48 hours) that pledge to the follow up campaign to The Healer's Bladewill receive this art print by Marcus Jimenez with their order completely free.
I wanted to do something cool for all of you that supported us from the beginning and the newcomers that still show upat the start.
For returning backers, we still suggest being an Early Bird backer to take advantage of the discount, but you will receive this print no matter what day you pledge - even if it's at the last second. We recently broke 100 prelaunch followers!
Once we reach 150 followers, we will announce the final special cover artist entering the mix for our oversized first full issue! You're in for quite a surprise.
I'll have more news about other campaigns for you all in March!
Happy (Belated) Valentine's Day
In case you missed it, I released a free one-page comic for Valentine's Day. It was fun to work with Max Pinelli and Cristian Docolomansky on this Spider-Man fan comic:
Spider-Man & His Amazing Family by J. Michael Miller, Max Pinelli, & Cristian Docolomansky
Yes, that is a Daredevil shirt May is wearing. He's her favorite hero. Peter is thrilled about that.
I first wrote this and sketched out thumbnails for the artist in 2022. This was the script I was originally going to work with Marcus Jimenez on, before making the Miles Morales one with him and Lucas Gattoni instead.
I wanted to break the rules a little bit and have the comic flow in a Z-pattern and I had to reference the 2002 kiss.
That's all for now, talk to you soon!

Comics & Cosmos Ent. is going on tour with a special edition of Kid Cretaceous #1, prints of the main cover by Marcus Jimenez for Kid Cretaceous #2, an alternate cover of The Healer's Blade #1: PROLOGUE by Elisa Romboli. As we prepare to tour to Gem State Comic Con and potential Fall comic conventions, we are inviting readers who can't make it to our physical appearances to get their copy of these and our other 2024 Convention Exclusives! These will not be available again.
Stretch goals include additional conventions added to 2024 appearances, cover reveals, additional printed material, and more!
Pitching The Healer's Blade
Recently, Mad Cave Studios opened their submissions again. About a week ago, I submitted a pitch for The Healer's Blade to them. It may not happen, but I hope you'll wish us luck!
Thank you for all your continued support!

Happy New Year!
It's been about a month since I've checked in with you all to give you an update. After a ton of trips to my local post office, I'm glad to announce that this campaign is completely fulfilled.
Shipping for The Healer's Blade was mostly completed before Christmas, but there were a set of stragglers that were the last to get shipped on in January. On the 9th, I dropped off the final packages and the international rewards were finally mailed out. If you have any issues with your items, please reach out to me and I will get it corrected immediately.
This monday, I will be attending Gem State Comic Con on April 6th & 7th! I'll be bringing a few exclusive goodies to join the usual lineup. Recently, I completed the trade dress myself for our GSCC-Exclusive cover of The Healer's Blade #1: PROLOGUE.
The Healer's Blade
This cover features the alternate main cover art by Elisa Romboli with different colors. This version will only be available at conventions and duringthis campaign. As part of the MAKE100 initiative, there will only be 100 copies available.
Kid Cretaceous
Introducing the Foresight Edition of Kid Cretaceous #1. This new printing will feature preview pages for the upcoming second issue and a variant cover reveal!
Diki Ramdani did so well with her Action Comics homage for our first issue, that we had to invite her back for our follow-up issue. This time, she created an homage to a classic Marvel cover that features a certain jade giant. Cover to be revealed soon!
Shipping Screw-up
I want to be fully transparent with all of my supporters. Backers who pledged at the Cosmic Collective tier were originally sent their packages without the holochrome Susca variant (Cover D) due to an error. Kickstarter listed this item as a reward included in these tiers, but BackerKit did not carry this over. This was my first time using BackerKit so, the blame may be entirely mine.
A few backers already reached out to me about this when their package arrived. I have mailed out the few missing copies and most have already been received as well. Thanks to you, I was able to correct this for international shipments before they were sent out. Again, please let me know if you have any problems!
