Hi all,

We’ve just received the master production copy of the book (and the other goodies), the first copy made with the same process that the mass production will use. The assembly quality is a marked improvement over the preproduction copies we reviewed. We feel the book as a whole has come out very well.

There are a few changes in contrast here and there that seem like a bit of a step backward, but we don’t want to prolong your wait further. We don’t believe delaying things again by a couple of months to tweak a handful of ink values and make new printing plates in vague hopes of improving those few images will add enough value to justify the extended wait. We want Devil’s Due in your hands, so we’ve approved the book for full production!

Since there won’t be any more tweaks, we’ll be releasing the final digital PDFs and accompanying digital assets to backers in the next few days. If you’re all paid up in the Pledge Manager, look for an email from BackerKit with links to download those in a bit! (If you’re not all paid up, recover your survey info here and finish checking out to get your rewards.)

If the current timeline holds, we’re expecting everything to be produced around mid October and arrive in our warehouses, hopefully, around mid-to-late November for final order picking and fulfillment. For now, enjoy a few more photos!
