Paradox Girl: Issues #4, #5 & #6

Late Backer Programme!
over 7 years ago – Mon, Dec 12, 2016 at 09:48:33 PM

We've had a lot of people messaging us to say they missed the Kickstarter and still want to back. Because of all the coverage we got in the last week of the campaign, a lot of you didn't know we existed until just now, so we've been looking at what we can do for those of you who just barely missed the boat.

Once the surveys go out we'll be opening our Pre-Order store on Backerkit, where anyone will be able to buy the new issues and many of the other rewards. But the tiers are still the best deal, and the store isn't open yet, so for this week only we are opening the Late Backer Programme.

If you fill out the form here, you'll receive a survey with the other backers and be able to pay via Backerkit when it arrives. For now we'll just need your email, name, country and the tier you wish to back. You can cancel at any time prior to giving your payment details and the order being locked down.

Only tiers of $25 or higher are available through the programme - this is because we have to enter the details manually and it would be time consuming to enter a lot of small pledges. If you just want digital issues or just the three new comics, you'll be able to get them from the pre-order store when it goes live.

Funded & Finished!

Congratulations! Your support blew away all of our expectations and exceeded all of our hopes for the campaign! We couldn't have asked for a better result.

You've made us one of the most popular comic book projects on Kickstarter, and we aren't going to forget that. All of us at Hana Comics are very grateful for all the love and support you've given us during the campaign.

Now that the Kickstarter is over, the real work can begin. Tomorrow we'll begin the process of getting your rewards to you; and we'll also be announcing the winners of our two contests!

We'll be putting together the surveys this week, aiming to get them out to you by the weekend. At the same time, we'll release digital issues of #1-3 to those of you who pledged for them, so you'll have something to read while we get the new issues ready!

Over the following month, we'll be adding the finishing touches to the comics, so once the deadline for surveys arrives and we have all your names for the credits page, we'll be ready to send the files to the printers and get the new digital issues out to you.

As always we'll stay in touch and try to keep you posted at every step of the way, and we'll be right here to answer your questions and make good any problems. Thank you again for taking this journey with us, and making this campaign such a huge success. None of this would be possible without you.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Alt Covers! Welcome, io9 fans!

Hi everyone! Peter here, I'm the editor of Paradox Girl. We're blown away by the response we've seen over the past few days. I wanted to say a few words, and I'm sure our author, Cayti will be here with a personal message in the next few days too when she's done biting off all her fingernails.

First of all I'd like to say a big welcome to all of our new backers who found their way here from the io9 article (as well as Comics Alliance, and BleedingCool!) We've been blown away by the response. We're on track to beat our last campaign by every measure, thanks to you.

Finding our audience has been the most nerve-wracking, difficult and exciting part of all this. It's great to see you all here: 200 of you on Thursday; 300 on Friday. We're awed and humbled that so many of you are excited about PG's adventures.

Yishan noticed today that we're in both the 3rd and 4th spots for all-time highest number of backers in the comics category. That's awesome! This is huge already, but I think we can make it even bigger. We got off to a really strong start thanks to our existing backers sharing the campaign on Twitter and Facebook. If just a few of you who've newly discovered PG can do the same, we can keep up this momentum and grab the #2 spot easy! (The #1 spot is still 1,000 backers away, so I don't think we're going to nab that one, but if you want to take that as a challenge and try to prove me wrong, I won't complain!)

And if you have any questions, or requests, or suggestions - let us know! We'll be right here for you in the last hours of the campaign, and after that, we'll be here to provide regular updates as we prepare the comics for printing! 

Speaking of the comics, on to the alt covers. You've been pledging for them, but you haven't seen what they look like - until now!

Stickers & Paperdoll!

So now the Paradox Brawl is over and all the PGs have vanished, we can resume normal service for the last two days of the Kickstarter! I don't think we'll have to worry about any more PG interference now that's out of the way.

And here are a couple of the rewards you unlocked, but that they were too busy fighting to show you. Enjoy!
