Olympus Legions!
I just emailed out the Patriotika #2 digital download of the complete comic. If you did not receive it please check your spam box of the email address you used to sign up on Kickstarter or send me a message here through kickstarter. Alternatively you can email me at [email protected]

Please let me know what you think. I have Ale Garza back for issue #3 along with Ceci De La Cruz back on colors too.
The other digital files will be sent out later today or tomorrow once I hear from a few of you guys that the backerkit distribution of the digital comic worked.
The print files are going to the printer tomorrow to get the books going, as well as more of the stretch goal items are going out to the printers. We are aiming for end of July/Early August to start shipping.
In the meantime if you enjoyed Patriotika #2, please consider checking out our current kickstarter which ends on Tuesday at 8pm, Valkyrie Savors #2:
The VIRGIN variant of this cover by Elias Chatzoudis can only be added on via the instructions on the campaign page, and only four of the Gran Collector pledge level remain! It is the only way to get the Metal Cheeky Sunset Diana by Michael Dipascale, and the only remaining METAL Iris Black Flames by Jesse Whichmann and Ula Mos. The kickstarter ends this Tuesday at 8pm PST.
More updates soon!

Olympus Legions!
Most of the artwork for the stretch goal rewards has been turned in and is heading off to print this week. There are two that I needed to find a replacement for, the Chad Hardin 6x9 mini print and the Danusko Campos inside back cover due to different unforeseen issues. The 6x9 mini print will now be by Marvel/DC/Star Wars/Lady Death artist Monte Michael Moore and will also be one of the covers for our upcoming Patriotika Year One Pin Up and Art Book, and here it is:
The inside back cover artwork will be this sexy battle torn outfit spin on the "My Turn" cover, this time by Arturo Louga and Ceci De La Cruz, and will also be part of the art on the Lenticular card:

The letterer is putting some final edits on the digital pages and they should be ready this week. I am hoping to email them out this weekend or early next week at the latest. I will either use the backerkit system to send out the files or send them through a download via the messaging system on kickstarter.
In other news we are very close to 19k on the Valkyrie Saviors 2 Kickstarter! 6 days to go and several stretch goals have been unlocked and some of the pledge levels have already sold out! We also just added our mid campaign add on, the 4th of July VIRGIN variant by Elias Chatzoudis which can only be obtained as a virgin via kickstarter, see the add on section for details:
Speaking of Fourth of July variants, we also have our super sexy Patriotika #1 Fourth of July variant by David Harrigan, and the regular variant of the Elias Valkyrie Saviors on our Etsy shop:
Last but not least a huge thank you to all the backers that came by our table at Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con. It was great meeting you all!

Our next show is a signing at Southern California Comics in San Diego, Sunday July 15th 12-4pm! I will be signing copies of Patriotika and Valkyrie Saviors. I will not be charging for signatures. I will also have all our prints and some metal prints, several of our variants and I will have advanced copies of the Lucio Parillo Patriotika #1 and possibly some of the Monte Moore variant cover of the Year One Pin Up book too! Lucio and Monte will be at San Diego Comic Con the following week but the artists may or may not charge for signatures. If you are interested in preordering these or any of our other books or prints(or any of our prints in 11x17 metal) for the signing send a message or email at [email protected] The Lucio Parillo and Monte Michael Moore variants will be available on our Etsy San Diego Comic Con weekend.

Olympus Legions!
The backerkit surveys are now locked down. If you added extra items and your credit card did not work for whatever reason backerkit will send a reminder email. If you did not get your survey finished before lockdown please email us at [email protected]
For everyone else that did complete their surveys, thank you. I will be adding up the numbers and begin sending things off to print as the completed art comes in from the various artists. In about 7-10 days once everything has cleared from backerkit I will send out digital files. Estimated shipping if everything is turned in on time and printed on time will be around late July.
In the meantime I will be posting updates as the printed materials and artwork arrives to me.
This month we will have Valkyrie Saviors 2 Kickstarter kicking off around June 19. Please check it out if you have a chance, I really appreciate the support which helps keep all Mount Olympus Comics titles going. Here is one of the gorgeous covers we have lined up. This one is by Jesse Wichmann and Ula Mos featuring Iris the Shadow Valkyrie:

Later this month we have Ace Seattle Comic Con and as mentioned above, Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con!
For Ace Seattle Comic Con we'll have a Patriotika variant cover by Jamie Tyndal! And a Valkyrie Saviors variant by Jose Varese! I'll have previews of the artwork as we get closer to the convention.
For Vegas we'll have preview art for Oz and we will have a Patriotika variant by Elias Chatzoudis which I shared last time, and a Valkyrie Saviors variant by Art of Buzz, Aldrin Aw!
And next month is our Patriotika Year One celebration! We'll have our first ever pin up/art book collecting past, and upcoming artwork, unreleased concept sketches and with a cover by Luca Strati, as well as San Diego Comic Con variants by Monte Michael Moore.
Here's a teaser of the Luca Strati art book cover:
Check out Savage Eve 3 by Counterpoint Comics, it has art by legendary artists and some very sexy covers! I recently backed it too. I love dinosaurs, action and sexy cave woman style outfits, so this was a must for me.

Olympus Legions!
This is just a quick update. Due to a recent personal tragedy I needed to go out of town for a couple days. I wasn't able to give you guys a heads up about the lock down and apologize for that, so I am doing so now instead. I will be locking down the surveys this Friday at midnight. Please submit your surveys by then and or add on any extra items by then. Some items available for add on will not be available after this kickstarter and or outside of kickstarter. Once I do the lock down I will be charging the credit cards for any add on items too. Feel free to message me on kickstarter or email me at [email protected] if you have any questions.
I also want to say a big thank you to everyone that came by our booth at Phoenix Comic Fest this past weekend. It was great meeting and chatting with all of you! Our next show is Ace Seattle June 22nd-24th. The week after that we will be at Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con June 29-July 1st. We'll have exclusives at both shows and online, and cosplayers that have worked with us in the past signing at the table too!
I'll be pulling the Phoenix Comic Fest Exclusives off the website this weekend but you can still pick them up here:
