Hello Jaycen Wise Kickstarter Family!
Apologies if this Update is a bit late. Many of you know I have been dealing with a personal loss, both here and in the UK, which has been very difficult. Tell your loved ones you love them whenever you get the chance...I love you guys. :)
SURVEYS
Please keep a look out for Surveys from Backerkit at end of the week, Monday latest - they may hit your spam. We wanna get these back as soon as possible so we can get the books printed and off to you! In very exciting news we're working with the overseas company who prints single issue comics for Marvel and DC. This means we will be shipping a bit later (January) but we believe it’ll be worth the wait!!! The amazing Ready Comics will continue to handle most of our more specialist items like FOILS and ETCHED Metals with the expert quality you have come to love. We strive for quality!
EBOOKS AND STRANGERCON DECEMBER 13
We deliver all of the digital ebooks December 13 at 3pm PST/ 6pm EST to everyone when we launch StrangerCon, so you all have a fighting chance to learn the identity of Jaycen’s secret society! If you got more of the paper variants we will send the corresponding ebook, so you guys will have the most clues (plus a bonus for Patreon members)!
There will be StrangerCon Exclusives that celebrate Niobe’s 10 year anniversary and more! If we hit 50 LIKES on the stream ALL attendees get a FREE Exclusive! If you ‘re a Tehani Farr fan you won’t want to miss this! If you are a Patreon member you get a bonus hour, which will have Patreon Exclusives and more! Maybe we will have a live D&D session! Plus for the first time we will unleash a new set of THE UNTAMED #1 - #7.
This Thursday on Let’s Get Stranger (Also on YouTube Live), November 20, at 6pm PST/9pm EST we will raffle the SONY PLAYSTATION! So no waiting on that! And there will be more exclusives, deals, and tales to be told!
Hope to see you this Thursday and on December 13 and also…

Dear all,
A huge thank you to all of you amazing supporters for this Jaycen Wise Kickstarter campaign. Without you guys we can't make these comics, which we pour our heart and soul into! :) Also a massive thank you to the creative team and everyone behind the scenes to make this Kick so special. I am humbled and full of gratitude!
ERRORS ON CARDS / SURVEYS
Most of the credit cards have gone through, thank you! But there are about 60 that have Error messages. Please look out for DMs/Emails to those who may need to contact their bank. As soon as we get that situated surveys will be sent out! Then we get our print numbers and we start printing - which is all domestic - so you will get your books as soon as possible!
NYCC
For folks that want to grab all of the NYCC Exclusive versions of Jaycen Wise (like the FOILS) and our 10 Year Anniversary of Niobe She is Life Exclusives CLICK HERE - The Etched Metals are amazing - pics will be uploaded! Amandla Stenberg came by the booth to celebrate, which was a wonderful reunion! We will be uploading pics soon! For now, here's a pic of myself and creator Uraeus from NYCC!

Hello Jaycen Wise family!
We are back from our best LA Comic Con ever, and it was great to see some old friends and make new ones who will be joining us in the World of Asunda, learning about the life of Robert Smalls, and digging into Jaycen's past.
Speaking of Jaycen Wise! THANK YOU! - For all the support for this incredible hero on this Kickstarter campaign!

STRETCH GOAL HIT - NEW MID CAMPAIGN DROPS - MORE TO COME!

THANK YOU!
This is Editor Josh, filling in for Sebastian. He’s had a tough week personally and he’s still powering through to do LA Comic Con, which starts today.
As his substitute, first of all, let me thank everyone that has supported this campaign. We weren’t sure how a book outside of Asunda would be received by our fans, and we’ve been blown away by the interest and excitement. On that note…
STRETCH GOALS
We hit another Stretch Goal! The $60K stretch goal has been knocked down, so all physical backers get a bonus Asunda book from the Vault!
Next up is $75K and it’s a good one! Another mini litho for everyone and a Silver Coin for all backers at $500 and up! To see everything else that has been unlocked, check out the graphic on the campaign page.
SOCIAL MEDIA GOALS
You also have a chance to win a valuable GOLD METAL VARIANT of the Raiders Homage for Jaycen Wise! We're doing a social media giveaway, and all you have to do for a chance to win is help promote (which will also get us to higher Stretch Goals and get you more free stuff guaranteed!). Details below:
Tying together the convention and the campaign, we have two new Mid Campaign Drops. The LA Comic Con Exclusive Purple and Gold Akira homages for Jaycen Wise. Both the Ancient Kush variant and the 1947 variant are available as trade dress limited to 50 and silver metal limited to 20. You can get them as rewards or as Add Ons!
And in case you missed it, last week’s drop was the Otaku Noir Mystery Box which features an exclusive Ghosts of Tsushima Homage variant, a shirt, a lanyard, assorted comics, and a chance to get one of 10 dual clad coins!
If you do want to add any of these on, please see the add on tutorial below. Also, be sure to check out campaigns below that are currently running from several of our friends and fellow Kickstarter creators!
Thank you again for all of your support, Joshua

PALS
There are several awesome campaigns I want to highlight.
THE FEW AND THE CURSED
The first is by a great friend Felipe. If you’ve been with us a while, you’ve either seen us promoting his campaigns or you found us through him recommending us to his backers. Either way, you need to see his new The Few and the Cursed campaign!
Then there is a newly launched campaign from Kat and Cheyenne about our favorite place… The Comic Shop! They’ve got a great comedy show about a comic shop that is black and female owned and they’re working on a comic related to the show!
And last but certainly not least, we have another Joshua.
Joshua Rubin of Strange Land Comics is an Emmy-winning video game writer who actually worked on Assassin’s Creed, so you know we had to connect. There’s just too many Strange parallels. Joshua has launched his first campaign for a sci fi comic called Time Sensitive, and he’s killing it! Go check it out!
