Survey Update and EVEL KNIEVEL!

Hey all,
A quick update for you here. I tried on this campaign to switch from Backerkit surveys/fulfillment to Kickstarter's new survey/fulfillment system and it just hasn't gone well. I keep running into problems. Short and sweet, I think I'm going to have to scrap the new approach and go back to Backerkit.
The issue is, I am leaving for a huge San Diego Comic Con is just a few days, so chances are I will not have the new survey built and out to you until after I return.
Very sorry for the delay here. If you've backed other campaigns, you know the surveys come every time, two weeks after close, like clockwork, so I'm not crazy about the hiccup. The good news is, the book build is steamrolling on as originally planned and so you will still get your goodies on time/as promised. Literally all that's happening here is I am gathering info at a slightly different time.
But as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to message me. I'm here for you.
It was announced by the folks at AIPT and Bleeding Cool this week that the team at Half Evil Comics will be bringing an official EVEL KNIEVEL comic book here to kickstarter THIS FALL!
We've turned the world's most amazing daredevil into an ass-kicking NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN-styple adventurer and you DON'T want to miss it!
We will be kicking the whole endeavor off at a rockin' mega panel at this year's San Diego Comic Con with Evel's son/the brand owner Kelly Knievel and Evel Knievel Museum Partner Joe Pennington. Here's all the info if you're going to be down there:

Hey all,
I just wanted to thank you very sincerely for all the love this past month. There is such an active and enthusiastic fanbase here on Kickstarter... you guys have made this a uniquely great time... I've said it before and I'll say it again here... this is so much more fun than is putting books in comic shops.
I'm going to take a short respite for the weekend, but I'll be back early next week with more news... and I'll start contacting folks then for commission and draw-me-in references. The backerkit surveys will be headed your way in about two weeks. I'll try to have some fun stuff available for you all there.
The first round of payment processing went through last night and we do have some errored transactions, so check your email - you may have missive from me - and make sure your payment info is current with kickstarter.
If you have questions or concerns in the meantime, please don't hesitate to flip me a message. You might also want to follow me on social media for more info/hi jinx:
The campaign for Issue #3 of my Immortal Studios Wuxia Kung Fu epic FA SHENG: ORIGINS is still LIVE here on Kickstarter.
The epic tale of the mind-bending, death-cheating Shaolin Master continues in Fa Sheng: Origins #3
Fa Sheng thought he'd left his past behind—until it followed him to the gates of the Shaolin Temple.
In Fa Sheng: Origins #3, the third issue in Immortal Studios’ electrifying martial arts saga, war is coming. A ruthless warlord known as General 86 is tearing through the countryside, and Ye’s temple is next. As monks scramble to defend sacred grounds, ancient scrolls, and innocent lives, Fa Sheng must confront a truth he’s long denied: brute strength alone won’t be enough to protect what matters most.

PRINT REVEAL! 8k Stretch Goal Reached!

A celebration for a curmudgeon that give zero f-cks.
Tommy Lee by R.E. Nelson
It's the stuff of Hollywood legend, but Tommy Lee Jones hated Jim Carrey. Out of the ashes of his disgust comes one of our favorite quotes. Nelson paired it nicely with this stern look from No Country For Old Men. He may be a old curmudgeon, but we still love him.
The print itself is going to be a 4x6 postcard. Perfect to mail to your mom, brother, or rival!
Thank you to everyone that supported us thus far. Sharing the campaign will help us continue to bring you great content.
Stay safe out there!
$8K STRETCH GOAL TIME!

Hey all,
I hope your weekend was grand. We are sitting at $7,796 as I type this, just a stone's throw away from that 2nd stretch goal. Once we blow past $8,000 everyone is going to get an INCREDIBLE print from BREACH contributing artist R.E. Nelson. It's REALLY good. And I'm REALLY excited about it. So, tell a friend about the amazing comic party we're having here and let's all leave with some more good stuff, huh?
My good friend James Aquilone, the maestro behind all of those wonderful Kolchak: The Night Stalker books here on Kickstarter is back with a incredible extreme horror anthology.
Monstrous Books and Crystal Lake Publishing present DARKEST DEPTHS, with covers by J.K. Woodward and Robert Hack.
The 50-page graphic novel is available in paperback and digital editions and is dedicated to James' late friend and business partner Taylor Grant, who passed away before they could launch this project. Profits will go to Taylor's son Zane.
I'll check back in here for a print reveal once we cross $8,000. See you soon!
