What Are the Next Steps?

A few things need to happen before we can kick off production and fulfillment. Here's a quick rundown:

First, Kickstarter needs to transfer over the funds, so that we have the money to make the rewards (this can take up to three weeks). Kickstarter has notified us that some of the payments were declined. If funds fall behind the unlocked Milestone and Stretch Goal thresholds, we won't be able to place the orders for the bonus rewards. Please double check your payment method in your Kickstarter account, so you can get your rewards and so that we can keep all of the unlocked Milestones and Stretch Goals.

Second, we need to find out your reward delivery information to send out your rewards. We will be sending you all a Reward Delivery Survey through BackerKit to collect this information.

We will give you a heads-up before sending the survey, so that you can watch for it in your email or spam folder. You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email contains a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as possible, since we need this information to process your rewards.

If you need to change your survey responses, purchase add-on items, or update your shipping information, you can click the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page. (This page will only start working after I send the surveys out.)

If you prefer, you can contact us directly and give us your information, but answering your survey helps us get your rewards out to you faster. BackerKit helps us to save a lot of time by streamlining the survey process, automating data organization, and providing us with pledge management software to make it easy to process your pledge reward shipments.

If you used your Facebook credentials to log into your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey link is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact us.

Geek-Girl - New and all previous issues

Super-heroes meets mean girls plus weirdness in the Geek-Girl ongoing series!

On a drunken whim, 'It Girl' Ruby Kaye landed a pair of power-inducing super-tech glasses from her college's resident brainiac. Her BFF Summer kind of pushed her into trying to being a Superhero jokingly giving her the moniker 'Geek-Girl,' following Ruby's klutzy actions when (not used to her super-strength and flight powers) she attempted to demonstrate her newfound abilities to their clique.

But Ruby got used to her powers and grew into a genuine super-heroine and this led to former super-tech weapons dealer, Johnny Carlyle, inviting Geek-Girl to front his newly-formed super-team.

However, following some traumatic events (which Ruby's about to relay) she is now quitting both the team and being Geek-Girl. Click here to visit the Kickstarter page!

Wolf Pack Pups: A Halloween Trick or Treat Tail is a high-quality board book featuring a new story from Robert A. Multari and gorgeously illustrated by Megan Affolter, sure to help monsters of all ages get into the Halloween spirit!

The Wolf Pack Pups portrays grade school versions of characters from the hit indie comic book series, Night Wolf, also created and written by Robert A. Multari and published by Lone Wolf Comics. The story is about two young werewolf pups, Night Wolf and Snow Paw, who are excited to go trick-or-treating among the humans without scaring anyone. While the pups are going door to door collecting candy, their Monster Grade School classmates, Janelle and Circe are up to no good! Jealous of the pups’ strong friendship the twin Witches cast a spell, turning Night Wolf into a Voodoo Doll Plush Toy!

This story teaches young children not to be jealous if their friend has other friends, that it is okay to have many friends to share and play with at school or anywhere. The moral of the story was inspired by a real-life situation that Robert A. Multari experienced with his daughter at preschool. 

Halloween is fast approaching and that means it a great time to save on Wolf Pack Pups: A Halloween Trick-or-Treat Tail and the Werewolf plushies with Special Holiday Discounts! These products are already in stock and the campaign goes live this Wednesday, August 5th at 8am and will be fulfilled well before Halloween so you can enjoy your rewards the whole spooky season!

Feral #2: The Colour of Blood

The second installment of the Feral comic series, set in a world where werewolves and their rare pelts fuel the fur trade.

Set in the mid-18th century, following the golden age of piracy, Feral explores a version of the North American fur trade where werewolves and other creatures out of myth are not only real, but hunted, catalogued, traded, and exploited. Captain William Grey and the ragtag crew of the Sea Wolf stumbled onto something that could change the balance of power in the New World: Sir Clancy Foxbottom’s Bestiary, a long-lost field guide to the creatures, legends, and supernatural forces that live beyond the edge of empire. Now, Grey and his crew are reeling after a brutal Sea Bishop attack, battered, bloodied, and carrying a book the Crown Trading Co. (CTC) will stop at nothing to reclaim. But this is no ordinary book. And the Crown Trading Co. doesn’t simply want it for knowledge. They want to use it to name, shackle, and control what should never be tamed. Click here to visit the Kickstarter page!
