A few reviews of my work – both past and future – have come in from different quarters over the past week. Here’s a quick roundup. Over at BlogCritics, Greg Barbrick raves over Book of Extreme Facts. He bought it as a Christmas gift for his son but couldn’t resist reading it himself. I had a wonderful time doing the research …
Magic Pushed Back
As ICv2.com reports today, the Magic: The Gathering comic I’m writing for IDW has been pushed back about five weeks. Rather than having the first issue ship on December 28, it’s now slated to be in stores on February 1. The given reason is “unforeseen printing challenges.” Creatively, I’ve had a great time working on the series. I’ve seen proofs …
We Did It!
Hey, hey! We did it! At sometime after 1 AM Central, T.S. Luikart pushed the first 12 for ’12 Kickstarter drive over the $12,000 mark, unlocking all of the rewards, including the “Goblintown Justice” short story and Book 3. While T.S. may have broken the tape, it took the pledges of each and every one of our backers to get …
Last Day!
As I write this, we have just 19 hours to go until the end of this first 12 for ’12 Kickstarter drive, and we have just over $800 to go to break the $12k mark and unlock Book 3. Woo-hoo! Thanks to each and every one of your for your support, both with your pledges and with spreading the word. …
BNW Map Unlocked!
A little while ago, my college pal Dan Anderson upped his pledge toward the first 12 for ’12 Kickstarter from $100 to $251 to knock us right over the $10,000 mark. That unlocked the color map that Aaron Acevedo’s creating for us, and that will now go out to all backers. Thanks, Dan! Since I slashed $3,000 from the final stretch goal …
12 for 12 (1.0) for $12k
The outpouring of support for this first 12 for ’12 drive has been both humbling and outstanding. We unlocked Book 2 last night, and we’re steaming straight ahead. I feel like I have the best family, friends, and fans around, and I want to do something big to thank you all for it. This morning, we cracked the $9,000 mark, …
BNW Book 2 Unlocked!
This evening, a generous backer pledged a whopping $500 to tip the first 12 for ’12 Kickstarter drive over the $8,000 mark. That unlocks Book 2! Woo-hoot! I can’t tell you how thrilled I am about that. It validates the whole unlocking model, it shows how much faith the backers all have in the project, and it means I get two write …
Three Days Left!
Well, technically, tomorrow at noon we have exactly three full days left on my first Kickstarter drive for the 12 for ’12 project, but either way, we’re getting close. We have just about 88 hours from now until it comes to a close, and I’m dying to see how it all shakes out in the end. Over the past couple …
One Week to Go!
We only have one week left for this first 12 for ’12 Kickstarter drive. It ends next Sunday, December 4 at noon Central Time. (That’s 12/4 12:00, get it?) Thanks to all of you who have offered support over the past three weeks. I’ve been floored by the project’s success so far, and I owe it all to you. It …
Magic #2 Card, #3 Cover
IDW recently released new images for the Magic: The Gathering comic I’m writing. First, here’s the exclusive card that will come with issue #2: “Faithless Looting.” It features the main cover art from the same issue – by the incredible Karl Kopinski – but one of the cool things about it is that the card’s rules haven’t appeared anywhere yet. …
