How many pages are in each book?
Each issue is 22 pages of art and story, plus covers.
The TPB is guaranteed to be 100 pages, but for our stretch goals we’re going to grow this thing maybe as large as 116 pages.
For sure, the TPB will have all four issues, all 8 covers (4 Cover A + 4 variants), an intro to each title by JM discussing the genesis & history of each idea, unpublished art, and a foreword penned by former Marvel EIC Tom DeFalco.
As it grows, we will increase the bonus goodies, and if we get to one of the higher stretch goals, we are going to add covers for Issue #2 of all 4 titles!

Your prices for digital are higher than I'm used to seeing on indie books. Why?
In general, crowdfunded comics cost quite a bit more per issue than what we’re used to paying at the Local Comic Book Store. The reason for this is simple: Larger publishers distribute between 5,000 and 100,000 copies of each of their books which allows them to amortize the upfront costs (mostly salaries and overhead) over a larger number of issues than what typically sell during crowdfunding campaigns for comic books.
The truth is, we’ll be lucky if we get to 1000 backers, yet the costs of production stay the same whether we sell 20 copies or 2,000. So the end result is that each of our small batch of comics will need to bear a larger burden of those costs. As such, we completely understand if you can’t afford to support everything we’re offering, but we do hope you’ll support at least one. And I promise you this: the quality of these books is as good as, or better than, anything else on the racks today.
From the writing to the art to the colors to the letters to the covers — all work was performed by topnotch professionals with well over 200 years of combined experience, who have worked for every major publisher in the world, and who have garnered dozens of awards, including several Eisners (the industry’s top honor).
If, like me, you wish the world had more of these types of books, and you can’t afford to get the TPB, please consider backing at the lowest levels to show your support. Thank you sincerely!

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
