Latest Updates from Our Project:

Surveys Are Live!
over 5 years ago – Thu, Nov 15, 2018 at 09:30:55 PM

Great news, everyone! BackerKit has has approved our surveys and they’ve been sent out to each and every one of you. This is your chance to provide us with your shipping address as well as add-on any items that you may have missed out on during the campaign. 

Once we receive all of your surveys back, it will be just a short wait until you start getting your rewards in the mail. As of right now, books are still being printed. We can estimate that this process may take another 3-4 weeks. Once your rewards have arrived at our office in Buffalo, we will begin the fulfillment process. At that time, we will update the campaign again to let you all know to check your mailboxes for cosmic awesomeness!

It won’t be long now! We can’t wait!

Printing Proofs!
over 5 years ago – Thu, Nov 08, 2018 at 09:09:09 PM

Good morning, team! We’re here with an update from our amazing printer! We have received printing proofs, which is the first big step in the printing process. Upon review of those proofs, we, along with the cosmic master, Jim Starlin, noticed some areas that could benefit from some minor tweaks and we’re currently working diligently with our printer to make sure you’re all getting the highest quality finished products. We’ve nearly wrapped this process up and printing will resume as normal in no time!

BackerKit surveys are nearly complete as well! Our fulfillment team will be sending those surveys out next week. At that time, we’ll post another update so that they don’t get missed! Remember, we can only fulfill rewards for folks that have completed their surveys, so filling those out is a huge help!

We look forward to shipping these beauties out! 

We'll be chatting with you soon!

Survey Says…
over 5 years ago – Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 08:39:36 PM

Friends, we bring news from the cosmos! Mindgames: A Hardcore Station Story and Black Book: The Art of Jim Starlin are now at print! Looking to the future, the printer gives us an average turnaround time of 4-6 weeks, and we’ll be shipping these beautiful rewards straight as soon as we receive them.

That means Backerkit surveys are coming! Our team is busy putting the final details together for your surveys, and we expect them to be delivered to your inboxes within the next week or two . We’ll post another update as soon as the surveys go out, so that no one gets left behind.

Please remember, you will be charged shipping costs once your survey is complete. If you are planning to include any add-ons to original pledged rewards, please note that additional shipping costs may be applied to your order.

Until then, cosmic kin!

Black Book Additions
over 5 years ago – Fri, Sep 21, 2018 at 03:08:57 PM

Hello, Team Starlin!

We’re in the home stretch for the Jim Starlin Collection, and wanted to keep you apprised!

During the pre-press review for Black Book: The Art of Jim Starlin, Jim himself discovered some new pieces of art, including a rare (you might even say historical) Thanos illustration that we had to include. We’ve made those revisions, fixed some resolution issues, and are doing our last proofing rounds now. Both Black Book: The Art of Jim Starlin and Mindgames should be put to bed within the next week, and then sent to the printer.

As always, we appreciate the patience of all the backers taking this cosmic journey with us. Expect more updates as the process continues, because fulfillment is just around the corner!

Headed to Print!

Our amazing backers asked for news, and here we are to deliver!  

The Jim Starlin Collection is in the capable hands of our pre-press editor who is putting the finishing touches on production before he hands everything over to the printer. We expect this process to be completed within the week. Barring any printing delays, the current schedule to receive the printed volumes and start fulfillment should be late September to early October. As always, we’ll update you on that progress, but we’re pretty thrilled with how things are coming along thus far!  

We also wanted to take the time to field a question about one of the items in our Backerkit: the Gems of Infinite Power. Thanks to Greg Saladino for his query. The Gems of Infinite Power are plastic and made to replicate a raw gemstone. Folks who order them will receive six gems (purple, red, blue, green, yellow, and amber, respectively) contained in a pouch with a drawstring. Each gem is about the size of a quarter. The photo below should provide some more insight on size, color, and shape.  

That’s it for now! Thanks to everyone for your comments and questions. We appreciate you keeping this project vibrant and active, and we’re truly thankful for your support.  

We’ll be back in touch as news develops!
