7 months ago – Tue, Jul 22, 2025 at 09:27:27 PM

Hey, everyone. Editor Josh here. Seb is recovering from San Diego set up. 

EBOOKS

So first order of business is to remind everyone that ebooks were delivered last Friday via email. They're delivered through Backerkit, and you should have an email from Backerkit. If you don't see it, check your Spam folder. They like to end up there. And if you still can't find it, log in to your Backerkit account and you will be able to access all your Digital Files there. You can always email us if you are having trouble. 

As for the physical books, they are being printed at the moment and we will be shipping them out next month. Can't wait to get the books in your hands!

JAYCEN WISE

And of course, don't forget about our upcoming Kickstarter for Jaycen Wise. You can get the inks preview as an SDCC Exclusive, but make sure you get the colored version on the campaign. CLICK HERE AND HIT NOTIFY/REMIND

SHIPPING UPDATE! EBOOK UPDATE!
7 months ago – Mon, Jul 14, 2025 at 06:41:35 PM

Hello Kickstarter family!

I know it's been a while. Thank you so much for your patience! Things have been a little bonkers, especially when it comes to printing, juggling possible tariffs, waiting on surveys. But we have got a lot more surveys in which is very helpful in determining print quantity numbers (we are still waiting on some but that is not stopping us with our orders)! 

WE AIM TO SHIP IN AUGUST! 

We usually print with our usual overseas crew, but to save time and avoid possible tariffs, we are rocking with our U.S printer Ready to get everything out as soon as possible! It means the print quantities will be less, making your comics more rare too!

EBOOKS WILL BE SENT OUT END OF WEEK!

If you can't wait to read these comics, which we have poured so much into, the eBooks will be sent out by Friday!

SDCC 

If anyone is heading to comic-con, the Stranger Crew will see you there at Booth 2307 with amazing Exclusives, Tehani signings, Defiant books and more!

Thank you and much love!

Seb

9 months ago – Mon, Jun 02, 2025 at 08:10:05 PM

Kickstarter Family!

A quick note to say: 

KICKSTARTER SURVEYS ARE OUT! Thank you for your patience, love and support!!!

We are finally approved from Backerkit and they have sent out the smoke test (very Batman) to 5% of the total amount of backers in case there are any issues. So some of you may have already received your survey! Smoke test only lasts a day or so and then everyone else will get their survey! Please check your spam folders! :)

If you do have any issues, please email us at [email protected] and that will reach Josh and myself! You will also see you can ADD ON any item you want to your order! So grab those metals while we have them :) And if you missed the intimate NSFW variants of TALES OF ASUNDA: Love & Death by Zu Orzu or Jae Lee you won’t be disappointed! It's hot stuff! All the artists created magic on this campaign, so take your time and get some goodies!!

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD: Once you have filled out your survey, please share on the socials. It all helps big time :)

HERE IS THE BACKERKIT STORE SO YOU HAVE!

Thanks so much!!! More to come soon :)

Love Seb

P.S. It is not too late to join Patreon and get your Patreon extra goodies cause you backed the campaign!!! JOIN HERE :)

AND Stranger will be heading to to Phoenix Fan Fusion this weekend, anyone going? We have a big booth and I have 3 panels!

SURVEY UPDATE! + WHAT'S TO COME!
9 months ago – Wed, May 21, 2025 at 05:55:19 PM

Hello Stranger Kickstarter Family!

I hope you’re all doing great! Just a quick follow up message as we're getting closer to finishing up the surveys. We were hoping to be done with them a week ago but with the 4 different comics and multiple options we really pushed the limit on this one!!! Next time it will be simpler, I promise! Josh has been working overtime trying to get everything done as soon a poss so they’ll be out next week. Backerkit sends a smoke screen first, which goes to a handful of people as a final check. So please keep a look out, especially in spam filters. I will send direct messages as well, as even updates now end up in the spam wasteland.

MORE TO COME! We also plan to do more kickstarters, on a consistent basis, and with games. We also will have kickstarters that are outside the world of Asunda. Look out for a reprint of Brown Sugar Fairies kid’s book with extra bells and whistles! And the first issue of Jaycen Wise! For gamers, if you missed the Dungeons & Dragons homage by Sheldon Mitchell grab your copy here! (MAKE SURE YOU HIT THE DROPDOWN MENU FOR ALL VERSIONS)

Lastly, sorry if I have been a bit MIA. I have been dealing with some personal family emergencies including Aiysha Sinclair, our amazing creator of Brown Sugar Fairies, and one of my dearest friends is battling stage 4 cancer. She just had brain surgery. She has a gofundme campaign here. 

Aiysha created the term She is Life and She Tribe and wrote and sang the song Dawn of Light for NIOBE: She Tribe which you can check out here!

HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON:

If you want to say hi, or yell and scream at me, I will be on @strangercomics IG live Thursday at 6pm PST/9pm EST (and on @strangercomics YouTube Live) and at PHOENIX FAN FUSION next month! Who is going to be there?

Much love! Seb
