Hey Y'all-
Hope you had a great Turkey Day. Got some exciting news. Fulfillment for TFT4 has officially begun - Woohoo!
Please Fill out those BackerKit Surveys
There's been a flurry of activity behind the scenes ordering prints, stickers, and T-shirts. Plus we've received the final editorial pass on TFT4 from the always amazing Nicole D'Andria. Now it's time to ship some of this stuff out, but first you have to complete your Surveys. They will be coming from a third party site called BackerKit. You'll be able to confirm your address and purchase any add-ons you might have missed during the campaign. Keep an eye out for the BackerKit email in the coming hours and days.
Technically Fulfillment has already started for the TFT4 campaign because our good buddy Christopher Brimmage has beat me to the punch with his surveys and has already sent out our crossover print rewards. What a guy! Chris was in Culver City recently and we finally got to meet each other in person. It was a lot fun catching up on kids, life and, yes, indie comics, this self admittedly wonderful and weird path both Chris and I are on. Chris just launched the final chapter of Mandrill PI for Volume One. So if you're not familiar, it's a great opportunity to read the entire series. Its Hellboy meets Who Framed Roger Rabbit. So much fun.
Keep an eye out for your TFT4 BackerKit Surveys. Pretty please fill those out asap. And make sure to visit Mandrill PI 1-6 here.
take care and talk soon,
rob and the tft team

Hey Y'all!
Good News. Kickstarter has officially sent me our campaign funds. Yay! I can now proceed with printing the book, ordering T-shirts, etc. (FYI, I received the first sample of T-shirts and they look dope.) I will admit, once the Kickstarter ends I usually take a week off, a mental break from everything comic book related. This year that break coincided with Halloween so it was a great time to relax and just have a spooky ole Halloween time with the wife and kids. Well, that's all done, and I've got your cash, so its back to work! Your Surveys will be coming soon. They are coming from a third party site called Backer Kit, so you'll be getting an email from them where you can confirm your address, as well as pick up any extra goodies you might have missed from our campaign. Hope you had a horrific Halloween! Here's a pic from a recent year, one of my favorites. I always love an excuse to dress up as Princess Leia.
Friends of the Turners...
Here are a couple of Campaigns I'm supporting. They are ending soon so check'em out quick. First up is Axles Infernal from creator DG Chichester. I met DG a month ago through the ComixLaunch community and the named sounded familiar. Turns out D.G. is that DG, writer for Fall From Grace and Fall of the Kingpin on Daredevil, teaming Daredevil and Batman, and reviving Elektra. DG is on Kickstarter for the first time with...
Help fund the first issue of a fiendishly fun new comic book adventure from D.G. Chichester and Karl Waller.
"When it comes to Hell, Percy Cross is not just along for the ride — she carries a driver’s license. Not to mention a union card as a member of the UTA: the Underworld Transportation Authority. 10,000 leeches? 40 gross of succubi? A tanker of boiling pitch? And overnight? No problem! Seductions…tortures…deals with any number of devils — the UTA really delivers. It’s a thankless, harrowing job. And it’s the only chance Percy Cross has got to save her soul."

Next up is a comic by Joseph Duis, a creator I've supported for several years now. Joe's back with...
1940s public domain superheroines return in two stories in which they face supernatural threats. Cover by Mike DeCarlo (BATMAN)!
"While there were women superheroes in comic books during the 1930s and 1940s, most faded into obscurity, many falling into the public domain. But we've brought several back in our SUPERHERESIES line - a world in which public domain heroes of the 1930s and 1940s never went away but lived full lives and aged in real time! But never before have we devoted an entire 32-page comic to superheroines. Enter SUPERHERESIES SHOWCASE 1974. Like the other SUPERHERESIES SHOWCASE books, this is a collection of short stories focused on solo adventures for our heroes. But this one is all women - specifically, GRAVITY GIRL and SUPER ANN STAR, each of whom gets a 15-page, vintage-style, flat-colored, and halftone-filtered story in SUPERHERESIES SHOWCASE 1974."
Superheresies needs just a little more love to cross the finish line. Joseph's just a few hundred away from funding and bringing this passion project to life. Head on over and back that baby today.
Here's your Bonus Movie - The Crows of Culver! And last chance for Demon Bitch Crossover print.

Hey There.
The dust has settled for the TFT4 Kickstarter and what a fantastic campaign it was - thanks to your support. Most backers ever!
So What's Next?
Kickstarter has already charged the credit card you have on file. But we have 5 errored pledges to correct.
If you got a message from Kickstarter asking you to update your payment information, please do it fast! You only have 2 more days to correct it, and we'd love to send you your rewards.
Thx!
Update on Timeline:
We have four awesome backers that will be featured in TFT4 as Cameo Illustrations (Mike, Adam, Tom and Aric!) , and the good news is, they are already drawn and in the book, good to go. So I'm hoping that will cut a month off our delivery time. I will keep you posted.
Kickstarter still needs another week or so to process the funds. Once that is complete I will be sending out surveys via a Third-Party site called BackerKit. Keep an eye out for your BackerKit Survey email.
thx a bunch!
