Happy Monday my Wolf Pack!

I hope you all had a great weekend! I just wanted to share a quick update with you about the Night Wolf Voodoo Doll Plushies! They have started to make their journey across the ocean! They plushies still have to arrive in port and go through customs before they are sent cross-country to me. However, the good news is that we are still on schedule to distribute them to you in July! In the meantime, here is a picture of the completed plushies!

As mentioned in a few previous updates this Kickstarter will be fulfilled around the same time as the Night Wolf #1-7: Urban Fantasy Werewolf Coming-of-Age Drama Kickstarter, which is currently live and funded! That campaign will end on May 11th at 11:59pm est! If you haven't already but are interested in joining the Wolf Pack on that latest hunt, please click here to visit the Kickstarter page!

Night Wolf Issue 7 has some gorgeous variant covers available. Here are some examples! These are the variant covers by Anh Vu and Bruna Costa and by Chris Williams, Jake Isenberg, and Jesse Heagy!

The covers aren't the only artwork that stands out! The inside pages are just as amazing thanks to my art team, Carlos Herrera and Gat Melvyn! Also, here are a few more things you should know about the current Kickstarter! 

May 5th is the night of the Full Moon, as always I'm celebrating by giving every Wolf Pack member a FREE FULLMOON BONUS GIFT! Everyone who backs the Night Wolf #1-7 Kickstarter before the end of Friday, May 5th will receive this exclusive gift! Physical tier backers will receive the FREE Exclusive Night Wolf 5x7" print by Carlos Herrera. Digital backers will receive the Digital Wallpaper version!

Last week the Wolf Pack clawed down the first Stretch Goal! This Stretch Goal unlocked three new limited double sided 6” Acrylic Standees featuring Night Wolf, Snow Paw and the twin witches, Janelle and Circe! These Acrylic Standees are available in the add-ons section for $20 each! They have also been added to the Wolf Pack Omega Member Tier and higher reward Tiers!

Night Wolf #1-7: Urban Fantasy Werewolf Coming-of-Age Drama Kickstarter

New Crossover Print with 8 Creators!

I'm part of a Facebook group chat with several other comic creators called the Comics Happy Hour. Some of us knew each other from the ComixLaunch Course, or Mastermind group, some from podcasts we do or other creators we work with. And over time it became a cool group with a variety of creators at different levels. All of us routinely run Kickstarters too.

A couple of us had the idea to do a crossover print of some sort around the same time, so it became a larger collab with 9 different projects represented! Eight of those projects are current Kickstarter campaigns or campaigns about to launch.

Anyone who backs at least FOUR (4) of the eight Kickstarter campaigns represented will get the print!

Digital backers will get a high-res digital file. Physical backers will get a physical copy.

Anyone who backs ALL EIGHT (8) campaigns will get a special edition of the print we're still trying to work out. But it will be really cool! The first five of the campaigns are live right now. The last three are launching soon.

Here are all the campaigns:

Thank you so much for taking this creative journey with me! Have a great rest of your day!

BackerKit Reward Fulfillment Surveys!
about 3 years ago – Mon, Feb 27, 2023 at 10:50:51 AM

Good day my Wolf Pack!

Great news, the funds have arrived from Kickstarter and BackerKit has approved the fulfillment survey! Therefore, it's fulfillment survey time! However, before I can send surveys to everyone, BackerKit requires me to send a Smoke Test to a random 5% of backers across all pledge levels. The Smoke Test was sent out this morning, so some of you will have already received the email with a special link to your BackerKit survey, and the rest of you will get yours tomorrow morning after the 24 hours is up. Remember to check your spam/junk boxes if you don't see the email in your Inbox.

I have placed the order for the plushies with the Skelton Crew. They are estimating that the plushies should be delivered to me by the end of June/early July as planned! That will put this campaigns fulfillment inline with the upcoming Night Wolf #7 Kickstarter, which is launching next month, and will be fulfilled in July. So, if you back both campaigns, your rewards should be delivered around the same time, if all goes according to plan. Here is a sneak peek at the pencils for a Night Wolf #7 variant cover by Chris Williams!

Also In the Works

Another project in the works is a Halloween themed children's board book in development by Megan Affolter and I. The series will be called the Wolf Pack Pups and the title of this book is A Halloween Trick or Treat Tail. The story will feature fun kid versions of several familiar Night Wolf characters and the Night Wolf Voodoo Doll. Here is a sneak peek at the cover of the board book! I hope you enjoy it!

Looking for more great stories?

These next two recommendations are great stories by my friends John Edingfield II and Ryan Kroboth. Both campaigns have 4 days left and they are very close to hitting their goals. They also have a great crossover reward for backing both campaigns, so check them out!

Sunmaker #1-3: Frozen Apocalyptic Fantasy Final Chapter

One man must decide if preserving his legacy is worth becoming a monster.

A great cataclysm has left the world concealed in snow and ice. To protect what was left of their culture, the Sunmakers sealed themselves away from the doomed world. Now their numbers have dwindled, and Tibhan, the last of the Sunmakers, must risk everything by returning to the desolate wastes to fuel the fire that preserves his people's essence. Even if the cost is great and unthinkable. Click here to check out the Kickstarter!

Thank You For An Amazing Campaign & Next Steps!
about 3 years ago – Fri, Feb 10, 2023 at 01:07:22 PM

Good day my Wolf Pack!

I want to say how grateful that I am for you, my Wolf Pack members! Thank you, so much for being a part of this creative adventure! The Night Wolf Voodoo Doll 12" Plushie & 6 New Connecting Covers Kickstarter was successful because of you! Thank you for an AMAZING campaign! You Wolf Pack Members ARE THE BEST! I couldn't have done it without you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me continue my dream of making comic books and merchandise! I'm so very thankful that you are taking this creative journey with me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

As you know we reached 100% funded yesterday, which means that we clawed down another Milestone! Due to a personal matter, I wasn't able to send out an update until now. So, without further ado, here are all of the unlock bonus rewards!

  • All backers at any pledge level will receive a FREE digital copy of Greenzone: Life In the Blocks #1 by Fish Lee!
  • All backers at any pledge level will receive a FREE digital copy of MORTE by TART Writer/Co-Creator, Kevin Joseph!
  • All backers at any pledge level will receive a FREE digital copy of Haunting/Like Father Like Dauther Crossover #1 by Phil Falco & Kathryn Calamia!
  • All backers at any pledge level will receive a FREE digital copy of The Catch #1 by Steve Bryant!
  • All backers at any physical pledge level will receive a FREE Exclusive Night Wolf 5th Anniversary Celebration 5x7" Print by Carlos Herrera! Backers at the digital pledge level will get the Digital Wallpaper version!

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 I have the money to make the rewards (this can take up to three weeks). Kickstarter has notified me that some of the payments were declined. If funds fall behind the 100% funded threshold, Kickstarter will consider the campaign unsuccessful. Please double check your payment method in your Kickstarter account, so I can produce the plushie and covers and send out your rewards.

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

I 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 me directly and give me your information, but answering your survey helps me get your rewards out to you faster. BackerKit helps me to save a lot of time by streamlining the survey process, automating data organization, and providing me 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 me.
