Hello friend,
In case you hadn't heard, there's a LIVE Kickstarter campaign for the latest issue of our cyberpunk conspiracy thriller!
CHECK IT OUT: MASQUE #1-3
We're already funded so you can be sure this unique futuristic series will continue.
And we nailed a Stretch Goal that added this free bonus artwork by Sara Colella!
But you only have until 3:00 pm EDT TODAY to check it out, so hurry!
THE LINK AGAIN: MASQUE #1-3

Hello, friend,
I received this message from Kickstarter yesterday...
That means very soon I'll be able to start ordering all of the Rewards swag! And then as soon as our bonus backup story featuring Death Kitty is finished (that bonus is a result of a Stretch Goal that you helped us hit!), the finished comic will be formatted into a PDF file for our digital rewards and sent to the printer for our physical rewards.
Now I'm getting really excited because I can't wait for you to read it!
Did you know I've already launched the next Ovation Comics project on Kickstarter? That's right, I'm so confident that Infinity Agents will be sent out to you on schedule that I'm continuing to work through the COVID backlog of finished comics waiting to get printed. I told you 2021 is going to be a busy year!
MASQUE #1-3 is LIVE right now! It's my cyberpunk thriller featuring forbidden technology, alien magic, government conspiracy, and a masked vigilante who plots revolution.
I urge you to swing by the campaign page to learn more about the series, meet the creators, watch a cool trailer, and see the variety of Reward Levels we have for new and returning Backers. If nothing else, you need to see the sample pages produced by the new art team of Andrea Frittella and Sara Colella!

First of all, let me thank you again. I can seriously never thank you enough.
The entire creative team --- illustrator Lorenzo Tammetta, colorist Dijjo Lima, letterer Robin Jones, and myself --- are absolutely thrilled and extremely grateful for your support in getting Infinity Agents #3 into production.
There are ceraintly many projects on Kickstarter that outperformed this one, and I'm so happy for those creators for their success. But I'm extremely proud of what this particular creative team was able to accomplish with YOUR help.
This was the highest funded Infinity Agents issue ever! This Infinity Agents campaign had the highest number of Backers ever! Do you know what that means? Growth! The series continues to grow, the audience continues to grow, the cast of characters continues to grow, and the storyline continues to grow. Believe me, this cosmic fantasy will continue to get better, I promise you that.
So THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I'm so appreciative of those who supported us with their wallets, those who supported us with their promotional help, those who supported us with their words and gestures of inspiration, and especially those who came back for more. It all means so much to the creative team.
Well, all of the artwork is already done. I'm just waiting on the colors and letters, then I'll do my final edits. So we'll be ready to go to press as soon as we hear back from all physical level Backers about which cover they chose and how they want their name to appear in print. Those questions will be asked on the official Backer Survey which I'm working on.
Then once all prepress is approved it will be sent off to the printer, after which I'll inspect color proofs, and then the comics will be printed, bound, and shipped to me. All other physical rewards will be produced before the comics are printed so they'll be ready for the big Pack & Ship Party that gets all packages headed out as quickly as possible.
If everything goes as planned, our production has the finished comics being shipped out in September 2021. I would love to deliver before that date, but I'm playing it safe due to concerns with persisting COVID backlogs and shipping issues.
*** We have a number of Backer pledges that weren't processed. Usually that means a card might have expired or been entered incorrectly. If you got a notification about that, please update your payment information as soon as possible so that your order doesn't get cancelled. After all this work, the last thing I want to happen is for you to not read this story! You have 7 days to correct your payment information.
And finally, the previously mentioned Backer Survey will be sent out eventually requesting information about your order, including details of any add-ons you might have added to your pledge. It's very important to get that information back to us asap. Because our ship date is so far out, I usually wait a bit before sending the survey because important information can change.
I promise that I'll keep you updated every step of the way on our progress. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Thank you again for your support!

Hello again,
Right now I am overwhelmed with gratitude and completely exhausted. So I'll be contacting you again soon with details about what happens next. That way I will be much more coherent.
But I wanted to take a moment right now to thank you again for your support. This project simply does not happen without you. There's no way I can overstate the importance of your role.
So THANK YOU!
John
