A threat looms over the town of Shoddai in the third issue of Glow, a coming of age story set in a world ruined by magic.
This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
In the meantime, here's a link to the prelaunch page.
Keep an eye out on this space as well - we'll prerelease the digital PDF of issue #4 this upcoming Friday!

Hey Everyone,
We're just about at an end to this campaign! This will probably be one of the last updates we make through Kickstarter for it, and it's a short one.
Unfortunately, it's with a heavy heart that for the first time in five years we will not be attending New York Comic-Con. New York holds a special in our hearts as it's where Vince and I met and launched our comic careers. This year though there were many extenuating circumstances that made it a difficult time to travel. Primarily, Ray works mostly weekend for his day jobs and one of his best friends got married this past weekend. Taking into account the already missed week, he needed to make up the difference. We're sorry for anyone disappointed at the news - we are as well. Hopefully we'll be back in New York sooner rather than later as we love the city and our fans there.
Our second announcement is of the happier variety! We're pleased to announce that we will be launching the next issue of Skies of Fire on October 8th, 2019! Please mark your calendars and we hope to see you there!

Thank you everybody! Let us know if you have questions or comments!

Hey Everyone,
We're happy to announce that as of today we are essentially done with shipping!
All packages have gone out. The only exception is for the four of you who ordered a Glow #3 Variant Poster. Those are currently being printed and will ship next week - the rest of your rewards should have gone out in another package, though!
Please let us know if you have not received your package yet. We'll be sure to address any and all concerns headed our way.
Thank you all for your continued support for Glow. We really appreciate it and without you could not continue making the comic.
Behind the scenes, we're lettering the next issue. Glow will return either in early December or shortly after the new year! But for now, our attention is shifting towards our other series, Skies of Fire...
Now that we've wrapped this campaign we are moving on towards Skies of Fire #6! Our launch date for Skies of Fire #6 is October 1st, 2019. We'll be running a ramp-up campaign via BackerKit's new Launch mailing list, so expect a preview and complimentary access to the Skies of Fire digital collection in the upcoming weeks.
We're excited to launch this next issue and hope you'll join us in continuing the adventure!
Recently Vince and I have been consolidating our social media presence. What we're trying to do is to reduce it all down to one account per platform, across Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
We're in contact with the various platforms about moving things around and will be working on it this week. Stay tuned for more details!
Finally, we have a pair of Kickstarters we want to mention today! One from a longtime fan and one from a collaborator!
Longtime supporter Abrian Curington has a new illustration project detailing her year sailing with the Schmidt Ocean Institute aboard the R/V Falkor, as their Artist-in-Residence! Abrian is a fellow mythopoeian who loves to create fictional worlds including fun details like cartography and creature illustration. For her latest project, she took her worldbuilding skills to the real world, and in the grand tradition of great explorers like Darwin and Cameron, illustrated her observations and findings along the way! If the project sounds like your cup of tea please check it out!
Skies of Fire RPG designer extraordinaire Eric Brunsell is self-publishing ADRENALINE: NEAR FUTURE, a forged in the dark system that allows you to recreate thrilling heists like those you see from Oceans 11 and The Italian Job! Eric is an awesome designer who loves creating frameworks for shared narrative experiences. If you love tabletop RPGs, give ADRENALINE a gander!

Alright folks, that's it for this update, which basically wraps up the campaign! Again, the best way to reach us is by messaging directly on Kickstarter. We're happy to address any and all issues you may have, we just ask you give us a little bit of time to do so.
Thank you all and see you next time!
- Ray and Vince
Hey Folks,
An overall shipping update this week! Here's where we stand:
The majority of the Americas, Asia, and Australia have been shipped. If you haven't received your package and you're a US or Canada based backer please give it another 7-10 days before messaging us directly. We promise we'll look into and address any shipping issues, but please please give the books some time to ship before hitting us up.
Europe and some NA orders still need to go out.
Specifically, for the NA orders we are waiting on a batch of new T-Shirts in sizes XL-XXL to be printed. Orders with those shirt sizes are most likely going to be shipped out first week of September.
Europe is gearing up to ship next week. Vince is gathering up supplies - magazine sized bags and boards are surprisingly hard to source in the UK. Some merchandise also needs to be shipped from our USA HQ to our London based one. All in all, we estimate finishing shipping to Europe the first week of September (two weeks)
