We’re back for one final thank you as we sunset and close this Lilith campaign. Thanks to your support, Lilith Volume 1 was an incredible success, and both Corin and Lilith will return later this year to comic book shops with her brand new second arc.
When we brought Lilith to BackerKit we had no idea how much love this story would receive. Because of you, Corin got to tell this story the way it deserved to be told, and what could be better than that?
Today we say adieu… this will be our final update on the campaign. We won't be actively monitoring this page going forward, but if you need anything, you can contact us any time (see below)!
Still waiting on something from us?
The majority of orders have been completed for some time, so we’ll be permanently closing fulfillment for this project on May 31st, 2026.
If you have additional questions about an existing unfulfilled order, please reach out to us directly at [email protected]with your name, order details, and a description of the issue, and we'll get it sorted.
What’s next?
We’ve got a lot planned for this year! Keep an eye on Vault Comics and Corin's channels for news about Lilith's return in 2026. We’ve got a ton of comics from your favorite creators headed your way this year, so get hype!
And if you’re curious about what else Corin gets up to when not working on her original series, keep an eye on our upcoming Leveling Up: Midlife Magical Madness project. K.F. Breene’s best-selling cozy romance-fantasy series is getting the deluxe treatment featuring brand-new designs and illustrations from Corin, so get hype! We’ve got a little backer-only concept art posted below for you all.
Until we meet again… thank you for being a part of Lilith! 🖤
Lilith: News, digital rewards, and fulfillment update!
Happy Friday! Want some good news?
Lilith is returning in 2026 for a brand new arc! The support for the story, including your support in bringing this initial volume to life, has been so important in making sure Lilith can continue.
Want some even better news?
Lilith Volume 1 is releasing October 14th... for everyone else. Not you guys. You're special. The Volume 1 books (including all of your BackerKit exclusive editions) are hot off the presses and have arrived to our fulfillment warehouse. We're beginning fulfillment for your physical books and other rewards this month so you have time to lord it over the normies. And, we're also sharing the digital trade edition with you all early; scroll down for that and more news about fulfillment.
Preview of the Standard edition cover
Lock your Addresses
Any final address updates should be made before end of the weekend! We've sent out a final confirmation to everyone today to make sure we're sending rewards to the correct place before we begin shipments.
Digital Reward Fulfillment
All digital Lilith rewards have been distributed. If you missed any of our previous digital downloads (comic book issues and/or wallpapers, for applicable tiers) you can check your email for the evergreen link to those file folders. The final digital download is available under the below cut, for backers only.
All of these digital rewards will also be redundantly distributed via BackerKit, just in case! Keep an eye out for that for when we start hitting all the big buttons on the BackerKit side after we've confirmed everyone's information.
Physical Reward Fulfillment
Physical reward fulfillment is beginning next week. This means that our shipping partner will receive your addresses, locked over the weekend, on Monday, and will begin fulfillment right after. Once your package ships, you'll get an email notification with your tracking info, likely at the end of the month or beginning of next as the warehouse works its way through the list.
There are a few items we're still waiting to arrive to the warehouse:
Sketch covers, remarqued covers, and signed sketchbooks have been completed from Corin and she is getting those in the mail literally today. They're expected to arrive to the warehouse next week, the week of 9/22. Fulfillment for those tiers may be ever-so-slightly delayed until that box arrives to the warehouse, but will be going out to folks as soon as they've arrived.
Lilith "Angel" pin stock was lower than Corin estimated by about 20 pins, so we'll have to make a replacement order for those pins. We'll ship complete reward tiers where possible, but if your pin was an add-on, you may receive it separately and at a later date than your other bundled items.
Lilith 2026 calendars are being printed by a company who is unable to begin production for a few more weeks. When the calendars are ready, they will be shipping separate from your other rewards, and will be arriving to backers in the Fall.
All other items not mentioned above have been produced and are ready for fulfillment. Any tiers that included 18+/NSFW issue covers will also receive an additional guest cover not listed in the campaign; the Skylar Patridge cover for Lilith #5.
Thank you very much for your patience through this creative journey, as always, and have a great weekend.
Lilith's first arc complete! Issue #5 and all final rewards shipping in the next weeks
Hi Lilith fans,
First, we've got to give a big congrats to Corin Howell, who completed the first arc of her creator-owned series Lilith in July. What an achievement! Issue #5 is being printed and shipped to us as we speak, and the standard trade paperback and your BackerKit exclusive trade editions are headed to print next 💪 This has been an incredibly challenging year to make comics, and we're so grateful for the amazing team of Corin and Warnia and Jim and for all of the backers who have supported their work on Lilith for navigating through it with us.
Final fulfillment schedule
Now that we're in the final push of book creation, here is our schedule for the rest of fulfillment:
Lilith Issue #5 DIGITAL rewards will be sent out early. We'll be sending our links to you the week of August 18th at the latest.
Rewards containing ONLY Lilith ISSUES (ie, rewards that do not include the trade book) will be sent out week of August 18th.
We are going to get all of the limited BackerKit BOOK editions sent out early/ as soon as they hit our warehouses, which will be in late September if we have no unforeseen delays from the printer side. We are intending to send backers their books before the standard trade edition is released in shops on October 15. NOTE: If your book was bundled with any issues, you will receive those all in one package shipping in late September.
Sketchbooks, posters, pins, and other add-on rewards will be going out by September as well. We have identified a potential delay with the signed sketchbooks, but will keep those backers apprised if this affects the September ship date.
The hand-drawn sketch covers and remarque covers are in progress right now with Corin since she has finally wrapped work on the comic itself. We're hoping to have those ready for late September fulfillment too, and will let you know if we anticipate any changes there.
We'll post another update once Issue #5 materials have been released to everyone via email. Thank you for your patience during the production of the first arc, and we look forward to finally getting all of your rewards to you!
May Lilith update: preparing for reward shipments ❤️🔥
Hi, all!
Work on Lilith is proceeding steadily, and we're preparing on our end to send out reward shipments! In the next few days, we'll be locking your orders, locking your addresses, and we will be collecting any remaining shipping charges for your orders. We'll also send an email reminder, as promised, to our subscription backers who we contacted previously about discounted bundled shipping.
Here are some additional updates from us about the final few issues and timing of Lilith rewards:
Lilith single Issue #4 is printing, and physical/ digital copies will be sent to backers in the next few days.
Lilith single Issue #5 will be released in July.
The Complete Volume 1 Backerkit editions of Lilith are expected to ship sometime in July through August.
All other final rewards (additional issues, remarques, apparel, trading cards, etc) will be shipping this summer as well--some items, like the leggings, will ship separately and may arrive to backers before then. One note: due to the delay caused by the issues mentioned in previous updates, we also delayed our printing of the calendar. This calendar will now be releasing as a 2026 calendar.
If you anticipate moving or needing to update your mailing address in our shipment window (between now and July) please reach out to [email protected] for help.
Despite our best efforts, Lilith #3's physical release is delayed due to our printer unfortunately misprinting this entire run 👿 Here's a video update from Corin herself, explaining the extent of the misprint, which we only found out about once copies began to arrive to our warehouses.
Obviously, this unexpected error was NOT on our bingo card for Lilith #3, and although the printer is redoing the print job for us now, there will be a delay for the release of the physical issue. But because we don't want to leave backers hanging, please keep an eye out for an email about the digital release to tide you over while we get this problem sorted.
We've got some updates to share with you all--don't worry, nothing too scary (we'll save that for the comics).
The News
With blessings from Corin, we've updated our release schedule for Lilith Arc 1. Issue #3 will release next month in March (3/26 for shops--a week early on 3/19 for BackerKit backers), Issue #4 will release in April (again, a week early for backers), and Issue #5 will be on sale in early June (late May for backers), with the BackerKit and Standard trade paperback editions shipping in July (as soon as they hit our warehouse for backers).
The Why
The comics market has been wonky lately, to say the least. Vault saw the writing on the wall and decided to slow our release schedule across the board near the end of 2024 to protect our creators from potentially unrecoverable losses. In January, Diamond Comic Distributors, the largest distributor of single-issue comics in the US, indeed did declare bankruptcy after months of instability and damage, so it seems that pausing was the correct call. Now that we've had time to assess the new landscape and re-solicit the series completely, we're finally able to proceed with completing Lilith's first arc as Corin intended.
What This Means for Backers
We've made no changes to the Lilith campaign except for the adjusted timing of our printing, distribution, and fulfillment. No other action is needed from you--all covers and rewards will still be shipping once we've got them printed and ready-to-ship in a package suitable for your tier. We completely understand that this unavoidable industry-wide upheaval and delay might have affected Lilith backers negatively--we'll be making some additional digital covers and rewards available as a thank you for your patience during this tumultuous time--but we're happy to assist with refunds if these adjustments have caused a hardship. Thanks for bearing with us as we've pivoted!
"But What About--?"
If you have any further questions about this update or about your rewards or tier, please write to us at [email protected] with your question, and we'll be happy to assist.
In the meantime, we will be releasing copies of Lilith Issue #3 to all backers in mid-March, so please keep an eye out for that.
We thank you again for bearing with us through one of the most, uh, dynamic periods in recent comics memory, and as always, we appreciate you for backing Lilith.

If anyone is having or hasn't received their orders yet contact the BackerKit Support - otherwise you will not get your items as this was the case for me. My experience with the whole situation has been frankly appalling, for a backer of a campaign to have to reach out to the company directly. Be sure to thoroughly check you've gotten everything - as some things were missing from my own order.
No communication at all. Honestly, will not be supporting the next Arch. Which is a shame, because the artwork is beautiful.
Any updates on when if ever this will be shipping? I'm now seeing news about a second series coming out, and I'm wondering if I will even have my original order before that happens. I mean seriously we are rapidly approaching the end of the year and it's just like ?????????????
