Infinity Agents #1-3

Important Update Regarding Shipping!
almost 3 years ago – Fri, Feb 18, 2022 at 04:40:59 PM

Hello,

First of all, I want to reassure you that the majority of packages have shipped a while ago.

However...

I heard from a few people that not only have their packages not yet arrived, when they checked their tracking numbers there's been no update. So I spent my lunch hour at my new local post office and had a great conversation.

As you'll recall, I sold my house (causing the first major delay in fulfillment), and I'm currently living at my daughter's farmhouse in a tiny town in Vermont until I'm able to find a new home. To say that the post office here is small is an understatement. I discovered that they are also ridiculously understaffed and struggling to keep up. I was reassured that they'd prioritize checking to see if any of my packages aren't in transit yet. So if you've previously received a tracking number, I'm hoping that it will show progress in the next day or so.

However...

If you haven't received a tracking number yet, that means something else has happened.

During the last big push to get all remaining packages out, one of my other daughters drove over 2 hours to come help me. Thank God she did! She quickly realized that I had screwed up a batch of orders. Those orders needed to be opened back up, corrected, double-checked, then repackaged. I would estimate there were 40+. How I did this I can't explain, but I'm just so grateful that we caught it.

So if you haven't received a tracking number yet, you're part of this group that is trailing behind. Some of those have already shipped, and the rest should be sent out next week.

Thank you again for your patience. I hate how late fulfillment has been for Infinity Agents #3 and Masque #3, but I try to keep learning from mistakes. Trust is essential for a creator to succeed on Kickstarter. I sincerely hope I haven't lost yours.

I'll even be livestreaming about this very topic next week if you'd like to join me, because I can't learn from mistakes if I don't own them.

Finally an update with some more substance!

Guess what?

• The comics are in house!
• The collector cards are in house!
• The stickers are in house!
• The T-shirts are in-house!
• And the art prints shipped this week!

That means next week everything will be here and shipping to you will begin!

I even added a new label printer to help streamline the process.

More updates when we get started!

Peace,

John

Great News!

I received this from our printer, which means the comics are on their way to Ovation Comics international HQ! That means they're even closer to getting to YOU!

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season full of peace, love and joy!

Hello friend,

I’m trying to provide a project update with specifics, but it makes me nervous because details keep changing. I know you’ve heard about the impact of the worldwide supply chain struggles. I’ve mentioned it before in updates and talked about it in length on the Ovation Nation Station livestream. It’s now starting to impact small presses too. The only physical rewards I have in so far are generic items I was able to bring in before the Kickstarter campaign even ended. The biggest problem has been the paper shortage for any printed items, like the comics themselves.

I was just in contact with the printer again and they estimate another 2-3 weeks before the comics will be done. If that holds true, and the other printed rewards come in before then as I’m hoping (fingers crossed!), then that’s about the time we’ll begin shipping to you. Hopefully we’ll be past the holiday shipping crunch and delivery won’t be further delayed. If I’m aware of anything changing before then, I will be sure to keep you updated.

I hate this. I hate delivering late. I hate making you wait for Infinity Agents #3, and I hate delaying the other projects that were supposed to launch on Kickstarter in 2021. But that’s the situation and I’ll continue to do my best to get your packages to you as soon as possible without taking shortcuts and sacrificing quality. I can say this…I’m confident you’ll enjoy this latest issue, which is why I want so desperately to get into your hands!

Thank you for your continued patience and your much needed support.
