Good evening all!


We have the funds and are continuing to work on production for this issue!

In the meantime, the surveys have been created and the first batch, or "smoke test," has been sent to make sure I created the surveys correctly.


So be on the lookout!

Back soon with some Stake news!

Survey's coming soon! Stake #6 is out now!

Hey everyone,


We're plugging away behind the scenes as Francesca draws and I work on finishing up the BackerKit surveys.


We will be offering some of the covers from the past campaigns, so if you missed something, there's a chance we'll have it in limited quantities.


Stake #6 is out!

Stake issue 6, the final in the first arc, is now available in comic shops and on the Scout Comics website.

We're really proud of how this arc turned out and want to thank everyone who has supported us!

Some of you took advantage of the 1-6 pack, but don't worry, if you're missing individual issues, they will be available as add-ons! 


Back this book!

Featuring 9 different stories from 20 creators, Bi Visibility explores bisexuality from various different perspective with stories ranging from romance to high fantasy.


From creator Kathryn Calamia:

"As a bisexual creator myself, this is one of the most important projects I've ever worked on and a subject near and dear to my heart. Growing up, I had very little bisexual representation. I knew the label existed, but I didn't know what it looked like, how it felt, or that I could be bisexual.  This was the driving force towards putting together this anthology. Representation matters!"

Stake is an inclusive series that features straight, gay, and bi characters. Check this one out and back it if you can!

BACK HERE!


Back soon with more updates!

We did it! What's next?

Now that we've funded, what happens next?

Now we wait...

Kickstarter is collecting pledges now. We currently have 29 backers with errored credit cards, no biggie, if you're not sure, check your pledge manager and make sure your card went through, it's usually just a simple fix!

In about 2 weeks Kickstarter will send over the funds, but in the meantime I'll be setting up the backerkit surveys where you will be able to pick your covers and add-on anything else, including some items from the Stake Vault!


We had a really nice surge at the end and did beat our total number of backers from the previous campaign. I'm so glad you are all on this journey with us and can't wait to get you your books!


I'll be back with progress reports as we go and any pertinent Stake news!


THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!

6th Stretch Goal still to be honored!

STRETCH GOAL WILL STILL BE HONORED

First sorry for 2 updates so close together...


Just wanted to clarify, we did just drop below the $20k needed for the sixth stretch goal. A very large backer had to reduce the pledge because of personal reasons - these things happen and we are just happy they still chose to back the campaign at all. 

Life is more important than comics, this doesn't make or break the campaign, and we will still make it a HOT SUMMER with Francesca's cover remaining unlocked in Virgin, Foil, and Metal Virgin versions!


We love you all and thank you for trusting us with your hard earned money :)

1 Day to go and we're closing in on Stretch Goal 6!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Sep 02, 2021 at 06:23:38 PM

27 Hours to go

We're down to the end now and then the real work begins, setting up the Backerkit, finishing up the issue, printing, and the most fun of all - shipping!

I'm anticipating the CGC books from the last campaign to be in around the time the books are printed, so if you backed both campaigns, I'll package everything up together!

We're 37 backers off from our record for backers in a campaign, even though we likely won't hit the same dollar amount as we did for issue 1, I'd love to see us pass that number!

$198 from Stretch Goal #6

The French Five don't want to keep their clothes on, but if we don't hit that stretch they may have to...

We're close, I think we can do it, but only time will tell!


Reminder for shares on social media!

A number of you have shared and sent me a message, there's still time to get in on this! All you have to do is:


  • Be a physical backer
  • Share the campaign on social media (Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook), you don't have to tag but it helps
  • Send me a message so I can see it and share your post!

It's that easy!



Back soon! Thank you all again!
