Yo, Outriders!

Sorry for the delay in updates, but I have great news!

It took a little longer than we were told, but all books are now at the fulfillment center! Our Dead Man's Hand books arrived earlier this week and are even now being sorted for shipping!

Outland is coordinating to do the bundle shipping for all of you who backed Rise of the Black Circle #2 and Dead Man's Hand, and shipments should start going out by next week at the latest!

We are so thrilled to finally be getting these books into your hands and starting to look at the next steps for Outrider! We've got more exciting stuff coming, but next up is a graphic novel we know many of you have been waiting a long time for...

Details and pre-signups coming soon! Who's with us?

Printing and Shipping Update! The Time Draws Near!
about 2 years ago – Mon, Oct 03, 2022 at 04:17:06 PM

Yo, Outriders!

I wanted to post when I had some more locked-down details, and now I do...

Books are at the printer and we have been assured the printed books should arrive at our fulfillment center around the middle of October, which hopefully means you all should start having them in hand by the end of October. 

We have some additional good news:

Those of you who backed our Deadlands: Dead Man's Hand campaign, which hit some delays in printing, it turns out all the books we're printing should arrive in the same shipment, so we will be offering bundle shipping for both campaigns. So if you backed Dead Man's Hand, with your free copy of Black Circle 1, you can also get issue 2 sent to you in a bundle, saving on shipping costs.

We are staying on top of things and will keep all of you updated. I will be posting any needed directions for your bundle delivery once we get closer and have that worked out.

In the meantime, based on feedback from you fine folks, while we will still offer issue 3 of this series, along with the collected edition, we are in the process of shifting our model from doing individual issues of Outrider books, to full graphic novels and will also be looking into other opportunities to do bundle shipping from different campaigns all run by Outland to save some of those costs.

We want you to know we are listening to feedback, trying to address concerns, and doing everything in our power to get stuff in your hands just as soon as humanly possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding in dealing with some of the challenges that presents. But know we got you!

The Black Circle will Rise Again!

WOW! 378 BACKERS! Over $7.5K! SWEEET!

I want to thank ALL of you once more for stepping up and backing this campaign!

We think for our first floppy campaign, with newer talent and focused on a single-issue comic, without a lot of bells and whistles, that this went really well! So, thankyouthankyouthankyou! As I've said before, we couldn't be doing this without all of you, and because of this awesome support, we will be back for more!

We are shifting our schedule a little, we are front lining finishing Rise issue 3, so we can launch the issue 3/hardcover campaign once we get everything fulfilled from this one!

We are finishing up colors and letters now, will wrap that before the end of August, go straight to print, and have them ready for fulfillment just as soon as possible!

So, again thanks! And as a parting gift to everyone, check out our five-page preview, now in glorious color!

Final Stretch!

Yo, Outriders!

We are in the home stretch, this thing ends tomorrow at high noon Eastern! So, time to make your final calls, and share it with friends and families. Heck, share it with your enemies, they might end up being nice to you.

We cleared the $7K stretch goal, so EVERY BACKER will get the digital Redeemers #1 FREE!

Now, it's a good climb ahead of us, but can we hit $8K? If we do, every backer will get an additional FREE comic, all #1's, all from Outland! We will announce which one when we hit the mark, but hey, if it's from us, you know it's going to be good, right? Can we do it?

Let the Stretch Goals Begin!

Yo, Outriders!

First, again, thanks to all of you for supporting this campaign and getting us over our goal! We couldn't do any of this without your support, and we want you to know how appreciative we are for every backer! You folks rock!

Now that we've hit our goal, it's time for those stretch goals! 

We learned on our previous campaign folks love extra comics, so, for every $1K over our goal, we'll be adding a digital first issue of various Outland series FREE to all backers. Yep, free comics, so let's see how many we can wrack up before the campaign ends!

At $7K - Get Redeemed with Redeemers #1!

THE REDEEMERS is a western adventure/horror story that takes place in 1885 America,  the beginning of the end of the Wild West. Based in a supernatural world of demons, fallen angels, and forgotten gods, The Redeemers mixes action, humor, and magic into pulpy adventure of a bygone era.

Will and Owen are best friends who have inherited a dark legacy,  fighting horrific beasts and unimaginable terrors. But even they are unaware of the sinister forces conspiring to bring about the ultimate   cataclysm. Caught on the battlefields between Heaven and Hell, they may be all that stands in the way of the End of Days...

Deadlands fans will love this weird western by an amazing team, in the same vein as your favorite RPG! Check out these preview pages:

Let's make it happen!
