Thuneworld closed at $72,304. Our biggest crowdfunder ever.

That number is yours. Every pledge, every share, every Saturday morning hangout, every “you’ve got to see this” text to a friend. You built this.

Steve, Jaynelle, Jessica, A’ja, Tristan, Lynn, and the volunteer crew are sitting here this morning a little stunned and a lot grateful.

Thank you. Truly.

NOW, THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY...

We came up about $2,700 short of unlocking Books to the Troops, our goal to send books to service members overseas through Comic Books for Troops. We could see it from where we were standing.

But that goal is not going anywhere. It becomes the very first stretch goal on Kickstarter, unlocking at $2,500 raised.

KICKSTARTER LAUNCHES THURSDAY, APRIL 30

10 AM PACIFIC / 1 PM EASTERN

That is where we cross the finish line on Books to the Troops, celebrate free comic book day and earlybird weekend, and then we keep building from there.

A THANK YOU for BackerKit backers

Because you backed Thuneworld on BackerKit, you’ll have access to a hidden $1 Kickstarter tier.

That tier gives you access to the Kickstarter launch weekend earlybird specials and Free Comic Book Day offers.

It’s our way of making sure the earliest Thuneworld backers can still be part of the Kickstarter launch weekend fun.

The private access link will land in a future update before launch. Watch for it.

Important shipping note: please use the same email address on Kickstarter that you used on BackerKit. As long as the emails match between Kickstarter and BackerKit, we’ll combine shipping between campaigns after Kickstarter wraps.

THIS SATURDAY LIVESTREAM IS GOING TO BE WILD

Free Comic Book Day. First weekend of Kickstarter. Steve drawing live at 1:30 PM Arizona time, working remarques on stream as always.

ONE FAVOR BEFORE THURSDAY

Kickstarter pulls a different crowd than BackerKit. A lot of folks who would love this book still have no idea it exists.

If you’ve got one share in you, Thursday is the day. A text to a comic friend, a repost, a forward of this email, anything.

Word of mouth from this crew is worth more than anything we can buy.

We can’t say it enough.

Thank you.

See you Thursday.

Care Package for the Troops

When we hit $75,000, we’ll send a full studio care package of books to Comic Books for Troops, helping put comics and art books into the hands of service members around the world. From Steve's studio to wherever it finds them.

Goal: $72,304 / $75,000

96%

We need $2,696 more to reach this goal.
