Hello Backers,

Thank you so much for your patience while we worked through the logistics of fulfilling BLITZ. It’s proven to be a bit of a different beast — due to its oversized format, the evolving challenges of international shipping, and the need to fulfill both Issues One and Two in the most cost-effective way possible for you, our supporters.

We’ve spent a considerable amount of time researching shipping options and fulfillment workflows to ensure we’re making the best choices before moving forward.

The updated BackerKit survey is now live and includes options for how you’d like to receive Issue Two, which was unlocked as a stretch goal. When you have a moment, please complete your selection so we can proceed with fulfillment.

Our aim is to finalize surveys quickly and begin shipping orders by the end of this month.

For backers in the Loot Box tiers, we’ve also added a limited selection of exclusive merch items to the survey, available while quantities last.

Thanks again for your continued support — we truly couldn’t do this without you.

Cheers,

The RAID Team.

Hello BLITZ backers,

Your survey link will be arriving shortly. This survey allows us to collect your shipping address and confirm how best to ship BLITZ —and any additional books you ordered or plan to pick up via the swag boxes — out to you in the most efficient way possible.

Please complete the survey at your earliest convenience so we can get Issue #1 of BLITZ out to you as quickly as possible! If you ordered a tee shirt, you will also select your size and design in the same survey.

Thank you, as always, for your patience and support.

Hello everyone,

We've been AWOL — and we owe you an apology.

BLITZ turned into a bit of a beast. It swallowed us whole, chewed us up, and spat us out — but we dove back in, wrestled it down, learned a hell of a lot along the way, and finally tamed the monster. On top of that, we ran into a mess with our printer — the paper stock we were promised wasn't available, which sent us on a wild hunt for alternatives, only to circle back to our original printer. The good news? We landed on a solution that looks and feels damn good.

We’re already deep into Issues #2 and #3, set to debut in the new year — March and June, respectively — and as promised, Issue #2 is included for all backers as a stretch goal bonus.

Given all the production chaos, we want to get Issue #1 into your hands as fast as possible. To make that happen, we’ll be shipping Issue #1 first, then fulfilling full pledge levels with Issue #2 early in the new year — months before it’s available to the public.

Here's our reasoning:

Don’t worry — you’ll only be charged once for shipping.

Speaking of, "The Creator Universe" insert has been completely restructured and expanded — we reached out to even more creators and (because we're clearly masochists) decided to organize it alphabetically instead of tying each issue to a specific BLITZ release. That's taken way more time than planned, so expect Issues #1 and #2 of The Creator Universe to ship together with BLITZ #2.

We know we went quiet for far too long — the truth is, we were swimming in chaos and didn't want to come back to you without solid answers. Now we've got them, and the book, and we're back on track. We've also grown our production team to help with workflow and add order to said chaos.

Surveys are going shortly. Please fill out your survey as soon as it arrives so we can get BLITZ into your hands ASAP!

We know the radio silence was rough, but once you've got BLITZ in your hands, we think it'll all be worth it.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

— The RAID Team
