We did it! This is incredible! Not only did we beat the old record, we beat it by nearly 7k! Thank you Olympus Legions for pledging and sharing the kickstarter!! Thanks to you Patriotika will continue! A special thanks to the two of you that pledged and over pledged in the very last seconds to get us over 49k!
For those of you unfamiliar with the process, for about 7 days Kickstarter will go about collecting the funds from everyone whose cards did not process when the kickstarter ended. After that if cards are not updated those people will be dropped from the kickstarter. So please check your emails to make sure you did not get one saying you need to update your cards. And if you did please update it as soon as possible.
After the funds are collected by kickstarter, it takes another 8 days before they finally give me access to the funds so I can get the rest of the artists started on the remaining stretch goals.
In the meantime in about 2 weeks I will send out the backerkit link. This is an email with a link to a website that will collect your mailing address(if you backed a physical item) and will give you the chance to add your add ons with the extra funds or any extra add ons you want to add. Digital rewards will be sent out a week or two after the backerkit surveys have been finished.
Any time you have questions please feel free to email me at [email protected] or message me on kickstarter.
What's next for Mount Olympus Comics? Valkyrie Saviors 2! The estimated time for this kickstarter will be mid to late June or early July.
And next for Patriotika? That will most likely be in the Fall, and right now the plan is something a little different....A Patriotika prequel 48 page graphic novel that ends right where Patriotika #1 started! It will also introduce and feature several new villains like Hera Prime and Solaris Ra and new heroes Mad Wolf, Tripherion and Athena's two sisters Hephestia and Arcane! It will also have the full origin of Collateral Dee!
In the coming weeks we'll have new exclusive variants at upcoming comic conventions too! First up is Phoenix Comic Fest May 24-27 at artist alley AA828.
