Highlights
Project Update: Spring Update for Lackadaisy!
Hello to our valued club members and thank you for your continued patience as we go careening through April! As you can see, our estimated release date for books has just whipped past us.
This is the biggest crowdfund that Iron Circus and White Squirrel, our indie comic distributor in the Pacific Northwest, has ever fulfilled. We are preparing to ship some 30,000+ Lackadaisy books to you all. This is immense for us. We are so grateful! But also, it's a logistical challenge!
You may have noticed that people who pre-ordered Lackadaisy Volume 1 from Amazon are already receiving their books, and we felt we ought to explain to you why this is the case. As soon as books arrived from the printer, Amazon was able to grab all of the copies they had reserved in one fell swoop and ship them in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, White Squirrel, who is fulfilling the book orders for the BackerKit crowdfund, is operating with a small staff and limited warehouse space. They've been a great and reliable distributor for Iron Circus comics in the past, and they are moving as fast as they can, but they simply can't keep pace with a behemoth corporation like Amazon. So, we ask for a little bit more of your patience on that front.
Also, we do want to assure you that you will be receiving all books you pledged for in one package -- Lackadaisy Volume 1, Lackadaisy Volume 2, and the Lackadaisy Essentials art book included. The latter two books are not slated for public release until late in 2024 and early 2025, so you will have them long before anyone is able to get their hands on them from Amazon or any other book retailers.
As a reminder, if you pledged for any physical Lackadaisy books, you also get the corresponding ebook! These are currently available for you to download in your digital rewards here on BackerKit. Click on your account PFP in the upper right corner of BackerKit > Your Pledges & Surveys > View Pledge > Under Survey, click View order > Get Your Digital Downloads
We've got a few other updates for you as well while you are here: firstly the Zib Plush!!Â
This is just a prototype for now, but we thought he was looking dapper enough (smoking habits aside) to show you how he's shaping up.
We've also been busy prototyping the Lackadaisy Card Game!
We still have some minor things to iron out here, like what material will be best to print the cards on (right now, we're testing vinyl), but it's getting close!
Project Update: Special Announcement - HC & Metals Now Oversized!
We have a very special announcement for everyone today! Because so many backers have been supportive and helpful as we move into the final week and a half of The Terminator graphic novels campaign, we wanted to offer a big thank you back to everyone. Earlier in the week we announced that the hardcover editions and the limited-edition metals would be upgraded to oversized editions when we exceeded the $200k level of funding. Â
But today, we're happy to tell you that we are not waiting to get there and are unlocking that upgrade right now despite not reaching the goal level yet. This is a special thank you to all of The Terminator fans out there who have been with us since the launch a few weeks back.Â
We are evaluating either adjusting the stretch goals, or changing them to add ons. Right now, we are evaluating our costs and options in the hopes of updating the new revised goals on Monday. We want everyone who has participated in this project to be as excited as we are about the Terminator 40th Anniversary collections and the new upcoming comic series! Â
We're so appreciative of every backer that joined the resistance and got us to this point so quickly. We've listened to your input and while we can't do everything requested, we have done our best to provide you with changes that make as many people as possible happy. Thank you for helping us make this project the best it can be.
And as a quick update - we are actively working with the factory to figure out the options to allow backers to purchase the slipcase as an add on for the HC sets. We have not been happy with the pricing to date and are trying to get better pricing. As soon as we have that information, we will get it out to everyone ASAP. We appreciate your patience while we get the answers figured out. Â
Project Update: Goodies That May Interest You!
These are now available for a limited time on the Iron Circus website! I really do not know if we're going to make these again after this so if you wanted one, this is the time. These are again, not pins featured from this Backerkit, but if you are a pin collector like me, you'll want these for your corkboard!
You can find these over here at https://ironcircus.com/store/ ♣
Have a great rest of your week, everybody!
We've been looking forward to bringing you this sequel to the award-winning ASTER OF PAN, along with a brand new slipcase set with the sold-out original book, for quite some time! We'd love to hear how you found out about the campaign, and what you might be most looking forward to.
Have you read the first book already? If so, let us know what you most enjoyed about it, about the world Merwan created, about Merwan's work as an author/illustrator... anything you'd like to talk about! This is an open forum for you to speculate and comment on the World of Pan!
Enjoy!
Project Update: Making the book!
Just a quick update here - artists are working on pages! They are due in over the next couple of weeks, and some people have asked for extensions due to scheduling, but that doesn't move my expected ship date of June 2024 just yet (I try to plan for delays in advance). I didn't ask anyone to start working until funding was completed, and art takes time! From what I've seen so far (layouts, pencils, inks...) everything is looking AMAZING and I cannot wait to show you more!
PREORDER SHOP IS OPEN NOW for anyone who missed backing during the campaign!
I will send a bigger update in a couple of weeks once I've gotten more pages in and have more previews to share with backers! I am working on the book layout, and I'm really excited about how it's looking so far.Â
Thank you again!
MicheleÂ
Project Update: A great first day! Two Stretch Goals unlocked! More to come!
This is our first campaign launched on a Thursday (we normally launch on Tuesdays), so we're a little thrown off schedule by the sudden weekend, but what a nice way to end the week!
YOU HELPED US HIT OUR GOAL -- AND THEN SOME -- IN THE FIRST DAY!
Next up: STICKERS!
You may be thinking there's a big jump from the starting goal to the next stretch goal, but we intentionally use the first day's performance to set the stretch goal milestones so as to keep things revealed at a suitable pace throughout the campaign to keep things interesting... we have several more Bonus Freebies planned, but unlocking them will depend on the continued support of the campaign... SPREAD THE WORD and SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS to bring more people to the project! That way, everyone will benefit from unlocking more stuff!
While we were preparing this update just now, we also hit our 500 Backer Goal, too!
Now, all backers will get a digital wallpaper pack added to their pledge (at any tier)!
We have another goal set at 1000 Backers (all backer names/IDs included in the digital edition) and at 1500 Backers (producing a NEW 5-track soundtrack w/ FREE digital download). We'd love to see everything unlocked for you! But that only happens if we can bring more people to the party! It's an open invitation, so share with everyone you know!
A this rate, we'll probably secure those stickers this weekend, but the sooner they're unlocked, the closer we'll be to the NEXT Bonus...Â
SO SPREAD THE WORD! This is gonna be a wild ride!
Previously backed this creator's crowdfunding project
Hi! I backed the first book (and almost every magnetic book over teh last 2 years), and FOMO says: i need this slipcase. But 30 dollar for an empty case (without the goodies) seems a bit unfair for returning backers. what is the math on this? if i back the bundle, its 20 Dollar for the slipcase.
We just want to reassure you that we have heard the requests and that we are actively working to figure it out. Please be patient. We hope that by the end of the week we'll have the disposition and the cost figured out so that an option can be offered. Costing, designs, approvals all take more time than any of us would like.  We are doing our utmost to keep the cost for fans as low as possible, as the slip case will be an optional add-on item.
Thank you to the fans that have been making positive suggestions to help us create the best collections we can. It is appreciated!

Is the challenge coin offered here the same one that was offered previously? I picked one up in my Magnetic-Con 2022 pack (which at the time said that it was limited with few remaining). Thank you.
Hello, you mentioned on the Story / front page that: "All pledges get a FREE digital download of the soundtrack as .mp3/.wav files!" but there is also a $5 add-on for the OST. Do we still need the add-on?
