Hey all,
I just sent out and message to all of you amazing backers on accident! GOT YA!
For some reason when I checked the errored backers it sent to everyone instead. 99% of you can disregard that message and just laugh at me for my mistake :P Wish I could say April Fools, but it's just me clicking the wrong button.
Regardless - I wanted to stop in and say THANK YOU to all of you again for backing this campaign!
We did hit the poster stretch goal on the last day and I'll be adding that to everyone's rewards!
For now we wait for funds and I'll be building out the surveys, while Francesca finishes up the interior pages!
New art, new cross promo, one week to go!

We're down to just a week to go!
It's been a roller coaster since I last posted... We had a big backer cancel, dropping us down a bit, but we're hanging tough and still pushing toward that awesome Erwin Arroza poster!
Many of you got in early for that beautiful line art Kiss Kiss cover for #1:
If you missed it, it is available as an add-on. As I promised before, we also got this awesome art colored by all-star colorist Nei Ruffino and it's...glorious!
That's going to look reeeeeaalllllyyy nice in rainbow holofoil! This one is available like all the other variants in trade dress, virgin, foil, metal, or acrylic!
Rebel Grrrls and Stake!
As some of you may know, Francesca did a series of covers for a series called Rebel Grrrls that came out through Keenspot.
She also happens to have a pretty fantastic (Frantastic?) cover for the current Rebel Grrrls campaign live on Kickstarter!
Cursed with the power to resurrect the dead through music, three girls from rural Alabama set out to tour dive bars, basements and county fairs throughout the south. If making it as an all-girl punk band wasn't difficult enough, these cursed souls are pursued by a ghoul, disguised as a record executive, who has been tasked with using them to resurrect enough of the dead to overthrow the living. Despite the forces of hell patiently awaiting its time to rise, these riot grrrls are intent to prove that they're no sellouts, and that they can make their mark on their own. Will it be revolution, girl style... or Armageddon?
You can get all the issues digitally or the new issue physically on the Rebel Grrrls: Phantom of the Oprycampaign!

Magnets for all!
We unlocked stretch goal #1 and every physical backer will be receiving that awesome Stake #7 magnet!
We're almost to $9,000 and I wanted to give you something else cool!
If we hit $10,000 on this campaign, all physical backers will get an 11x17 poster of this freakin' sweet Erwin Arroza cover! (digital backers will get a sweet digital version!)
We're doing great so far, but if you see us posting make sure you like, comment, and share so we can keep this train rolling!
Here's a little secret...there's another campaign out there right now that I wrote!
Metal Ninja Studios and I helped creator Dan Silverthorne, bring his novel to the comic format and issue #1 is available now!
Meet Johnny
Johnny is a former EMT turned body runner. It’s an easy gig—delivering corpses.
When the dead die, a body runner comes to collect them. That's Johnny. He picks up the freshly deceased and takes them to the local morgue or funeral home. He signs the dotted lines and speeds off to the next gig.
Any job can weigh on you...
Even steady money can be dead weight...
So, what's a young and hungry body runner to do when the corpses in his rig start telling stories?
So what's this then??
This is an awesome comic-sized print by Roman Gubskii you get if you back both Stake and Chainsaw Johnny! (digital backers get a digital version!)
I have the next stretch goal locked an loaded, so hopefull we can get to $10,000 and unlock it!

So glad to be back, and so glad you're here with us!
We passed our funding goal today and are ready to blast into stretch goals, but first...
THANK YOU
I know I say it every campaign, but we wouldn't be able to make these books without your support, so the who Stake team is and will always be grateful for every single one of you!
If you've ever backed any of my campaigns, you probably have a fairly good idea of what the first stretch goal will be. I mean, it's as much for me as it is for you because I NEED a new magnet for my fridge to go with the other awesome magnets we have!
(Missing a magnet? Should I make them an add-on in the surveys? Let me know!)
