Hello Awesome Backers:
The books have arrived and look terrific.
So here is the plan:
I will begin to sign, board, and bag this weekend.
Pins will be wrapped over the next week.
Surveys will go out this weekend.
Packaging is still to be determined as it's dependent on the schedule of my new helper, but it will be sometime over the next few weeks.
As I mentioned before, I will be mailing out after Jan. 16, 2026 when the USPS holiday rates ends. I will also be at FanExpo Portlandon Jan 16-19.
OTHER NEWS
I have a very cool story about Medusa in HOLIDAY SPIRITS: Monsters Edition. It's a redemption story set in present day Brooklyn. (And yes, it's funny.)
It's almost 50% funded, so please pledge if you can. I think you'll really enjoy it.
It will launch Feb. 10. Here's the main cover by Rio Burton.
Morgana Pendragon #2 - Rio Burton Cover
Pre-press is done, which means it is ready to go to the printer. Issue #3 script is done, and Aldon will begin work on it in March. As usual, I will have some fabulous EARLY BIRD REWARDS so be sure to sign up to be notified of our launch.
Metal Covers Have Arrived! And More!

Hello Awesome Backers:
The metal covers have arrived, and they look amazing!
I kept trying to show off their shininess without glare, but this was the best I could do. (Sigh. My photography skills are not great.)
The standard and variant covers are scheduled to arrive by the end of the month, but the holidays may delay them. Either way, we are on track to deliver in January.
MORGANA #2 and #3
For those of you following my Morgana Pendragon series, we are in pre-press for issue 2, and I just handed off a draft of issue #3 to my editor. Aldon has a prior commitment with Mad Cave, so he probably will not be starting on issue 3 until March 2026. Perhaps earlier, but we'll see.
Please be sure to check out this fabulous campaigns going on before you go.

Hello Awesome Backers:
The funds have cleared from Kickstarter, so I wanted to let you know where we were at:
Digital Stretch Goals were sent via KS messaging on Friday, Nov. 28. Please check your inboxes for them.
Magnets have arrived, and they look great.
Lapel pins arrived. Here's a close up photo.
Metal Covers: They are in production and should arrive in a few weeks.
Variant Covers: Proofs are approved and should arrive by the end of the month give or take a week.
Standard Covers: Proofs are approved and should also arrive by the end of the month give or take a week..
This is an estimate as the holidays tend to delay delivery.
Backerkit Surveys
They will be sent right after Christmas. I will post an update when they go out. I plan on shipping after Jan. 16, 2026. The reason for that is the holiday postage increase will end and we'll be back to normal prices.
That's it for now. Thank you.
Best, Madeleine

Hello Awesome Backers:
It will be another week before the funds are cleared, but here's what's happening...
Magnets and lapel pins have been ordered.
Metal covers have been ordered.
Standard and variant covers of issues 3 and 4 are in the process of being ordered. I will be using a domestic printer this time. They are the same folks who printed the variant for Morgana Pendragon #1 which looked great. It will still take at least a month for the books to arrive which still put us on track for a January 2026 fulfillment date.
Backerkit surveys will go out mid-to-late December.
Digital stretch goal rewards will go out to you via Kickstarter messaging once funds have cleared. I'll post an update when that's been done.
I think that's it for now, but be sure to check out these fabulous campaigns going on right now.
RECOMMENDED KICKSTARTERS
Our friends over at Laguna Studios have launched a new issue of one of my favorite indie comics.
The Surgeon #1-7: Post-Apocalyptic Samurai Western
An American myth, postapocalyptic Western, mixed with a ronin samurai tale, and the lingering hungover tinnitus of rock n’ roll.
About fifteen years after the world fell apart, Dr. Jenny Hanover struggles to survive in a savage frontier of the poor and powerless, trying to balance her calling as a healer with the necessity of killing for survival. Maybe she’s become more skilled with a saber than with a scalpel. But life's about to get stranger for the good doctor...
The horrifying story of how eye floaters destroyed one man's life.
Conceived in hospital waiting rooms during a grueling 17-hour ordeal—one filled with endless tests, and the constant fear that I might lose my sight—Floaters is a 28-page, one-shot horror story born from that anxiety. In this tale, the harmless specks we see drifting across our vision are revealed to be parasitic entities that infiltrate the mind, slowly corrupting their host and driving them to unspeakable acts.
Thank you again, and Happy Thanksgiving for those in the U.S.
Best, Madeleine

Hello Awesome Backers:
Thank you so much for believing in this project. It means the world to me.
What Happens Next
Kickstarter will be charging your credit cards so please make sure your credit card information is up-to-date.
(Note: Please be aware that Kickstarter only gives you a week to update your credit card, otherwise your pledge is dropped, and you miss out on all the goodies.)
DIGITAL STRETCH GOALS
Digital stretch goals will be sent through Kickstarter messaging once the money has cleared into my account. (That takes about 10 to 14 days.)
LAPEL PINS and MAGNETS
Both will be ordered within the next two weeks. I will let you know when they arrive.
FULFILLMENT AND SURVEYS
I will not be sending out surveys until we get closer to the fulfillment date of January 2026. I will post an update when they are sent out, but it should be toward the end of December.
As I mentioned before, pre-press is done for both issues, but I'll give the files a final once over before they head off to the printers. I will keep you posted on their status in about a week.
