Hey, friends! I have just finished setting up a new mailing list portal, so if anyone is interested in joining the mailing list for monthly updates on The Crimebusters, I've got the link right here: mailchi.mp/35996240ec7f/adventure_awaits_with_the_crimebustersWhen you sign up, you'll get an email with a link to download a digital ashcan pdf which includes previews for both issues #1 and #2, so if you're interested in checking out the comic but haven't done so yet, joining the mailing list is a great way to get a free preview. Anyway, that's today's news! Thanks for all the support on this and all the kind words, I'm glad everyone seems to be enjoying it so far!

Well, it's almost here! The Crimebusters #2 will be launching on Kickstarter on January 28! The page is live now, though, as they've added a groovy new feature - the "Notify me on launch" button. Click on that, and as soon as the project is live, Kickstarter will automatically send you an email reminder to let you know it's live. Pretty neat! Here it is:

Also, I'm going to be working on the lettercolumn soon. If anyone has any comments they want to share, I could use more letters! @mrp Confessor @mechagodzilla Is it okay if I publish your comments in my lettercolumn? I might have to lightly reformat/edit for form to fit them in a lttercolumn format, but I wouldn't be changing the content of course. Thanks!

The Kickstarter for issue #2 is now LIVE!! Thanks everyone for all your support while working on this. It's been a real challenge to say the least, but I honestly think this issue is better than the first issue, and I'm super excited to share it with everyone! Plus, some of you have letters in the lettercolumn — I should cross-post this in the "have you ever had any letters published" thread! Confessor - shipping to England is even more expensive now than it was last time. I'm hoping by next issue I will have found a print on demand company in Europe so I can print them there and ship them cheaper to people in Europe, but I haven't found a good solution yet.

Confessor - shipping to England is even more expensive now than it was last time. Ouch! Yeah. Shipping to everywhere is more expensive now! It costs as much to send something to Canada as England now — I could almost drive a copy up to Roquefort Raider and deliver it myself cheaper than mailing it. It's definitely an issue for small creators like me, and for people who want to support me.

I'm happy to report we're at 90% funded after 36 hours! I guess I don't need to report that, though, because that creepy embedded widget is constantly reporting it. So weird.
One odd thing this time is that the project has seemed to stall out almost immediately. Last time things died off after day three, but this time all 90% of the funding came within the first 18 hours. Since noon yesterday, there hasn't been a single backer. It's kind of unusual in my limited experience — there's always a "dead zone" in the middle of a Kickstarter campaign, but it usually doesn't hit this fast. I wouldn't have expected things to completely die off until the weekend.
Still, we're close to goal, and there's a lot of time left in the campaign! So I'm going to keep plugging away.
I'm in the process of figuring out just what the stretch goals are going to be. What sort of thing do you all feel would add value to your experience? Is there any bonus you'd like to receive along with your comic that would enhance the experience? Or any other rewards you'd like to buy that I am currently not offering - merchandise, whatever?
Let me know! And thanks so much to everyone who has backed, I really appreciate the support very much!
