Surprise: Volume 1 is Now on GlobalComix!
A few of you reached out asking about digital copies, which inspired me to get everything set up for you. You can now read the entire Volume 1 digital edition 100% free right here:
THANK YOUUUU AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 💖 I’m seriously blown away and so grateful to every single one of you!! Whether you’re a new face or a returning backer from before. It means the world to have you all here supporting this little comic project. Seeing the names pop up (old names and new) and knowing you’re part of the Printopia 2025 Backerkit collective fills me with so much joy. WE MADE OUR INITIAL GOAL!!!!
This is a much smaller campaign compared to Jackie and the Magical Guys Volume One of the series, since this is just a single issue, so I had pretty modest expectations…but you all proved me wrong in the best way possible. THANK YOU!!
Stretch Goals!
Since we hit our initial goal, I’d love to keep the momentum going! Our first stretch goal is a big one. If we reach $2,000, we’ll unlock the ability for backers to purchase a physical softcover copy of Byte Me as an add-on for $20 (shipping separate).
This isn’t just any copy either! It’ll include:
Two chapters never published on Webtoons
Behind-the-scenes sketches & extras
Updated jokes + polish for print
This will be the FIRST TIME Byte Me has ever been in print. I’m so excited about this, and I hope you are too! Please help spread the word so we can make it happen. 🙏
LOS ANGELES COMIC CON
On top of all this, I’ll also be at LOS ANGELES COMIC CON at the Los Angeles Convention Center this weekend (Friday 9/26 –Sunday 9/28)! I’ll be on the Asian Voices: Creators Who Are Changing How We Fear panel on September 28th, 12 PM noon at Room 407 and doing signings for three days at Booth #3602 at my dear friend Ed's pop-up. It’s been such a wild, exciting couple of weeks, and I can’t wait to share more updates as things unfold. If you’re at the show, come say hi!
Here's some details below, including some fun facts about our fellow panelists!
Thank you again for making this campaign such a wonderful experience already. You’re incredible, and I can’t wait to keep bringing this comic back to life with your help.
