Back To Earth - A Sapphic, Post-Apocalyptic Graphic Novel

Hi everyone!

I hope you had a good August. As we are venturing into September + approach Fall (my favorite season), I wish we can all look forward to some good news here and there, and small events that bring us happiness while we try our best to navigate everything!

That being said, I wanted to give you all an updated timeline on this project. As some of you know, Kej has been sick for multiple weeks at the beginning of Summer, and Ines has to deal with an ongoing real bad wrist situation preventing them to draw completely some days. Pair that with the excruciating heat of the past few months that have made it more difficult to concentrate on things, it all affected the planned timeline for delivering this book.

We chatted about it, and with the level of completion it is at right now, plus factoring in everything I mentioned above, we are slightly revising the schedule to have the books sent to print by the end of October and then ship the rewards to you all during November/beginning of December. It's not a huge shift from what we had in mind/announced (we were supposed to ship throughout November), but we wanted to keep you guys posted.

This also means that since we have a tad more time before sending to print the main components (the books and art books) I will lock the surveys around September 15th to give some more time to the few people who haven't responded yet. 

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me, I'll be happy to answer!

Take good care everyone.
Until next time.

Cheers,
MH

Hi everyone!

Just a quick reminder that the surveys will be closing at the end of the month (on August 31st) so please make sure you have your order locked in, and got any add-ons you wanted :) 

Thank you so much again for the support and having made this project a reality. We're excited to bring this story to you!

Cheers,
MH

Hi everyone!

I hope you're all doing well with everything going on as well as the what seems to be constant extreme heat in most regions—thanks climate change! sadly making this graphic novel even more à propos haha. The whole team here is certainly dealing with the heat and ngl it slowed down the pages progress a little, but we are still on track!

I wanted to keep you in the loop, and also share some exciting news with you all! I can now give you this sneak peek of Natasha's variant cover at the end of this update!

I will update the survey images as soon as I can to reflect the options, and the surveys will be closing at the end of August so if you'd like this cover you can still pick it and if you'd like both covers, you can also add an extra paperback to your order before then :)

Thank you for being with us along this journey.

Take good care.
Until next time.

Cheers,
MH

Hi everyone!

June has been hectic for the team between a three-weeks sickness, excruciating heat and endless horrors in the news cycle, but we're still standing! And we wanted to share some preview of inked pages (before colours and lettering) with you.

We won't do this a lot because we also want to keep some *mystery* around the story for when you'll actually get your copies this Fall, but I couldn't not share some of the sheer beauty of Kej's inks on Ines' pencils!

Hope you're all doing well.
Until next time!

Cheers,
MH

PS About 89% of y'all have filled out their surveys! Thanks so much :) Only 28 people to go!

Hi everyone!

Hoping you all had a great weekend :) We have some great news (at least we feel like it is very rad) on the variant cover front. You probably all remember that due to dropped pledges past the end of the campaign (I swear I always learn new things at every campaign and trust me, I will be more careful with how I factor in stretch goals in the future), we technically haven't unlocked Tula's variant cover. BUT we had announced a variant cover, and it's always fun to give choices to backers especially those who supported us during a campaign so we were trying to find a solution to still offer a nice variant cover to you guys.

And we found it!

Natasha Alterici has agreed to draw an exclusive variant cover for the backers of Back To Earth! It is offered to all backers who pledged for a physical reward as of right now in the survey.

Natasha is working on the cover as we speak, and a preview of it will be made available through an update as well as uploaded in the surveys as soon as its finished :)

We thank you for your understanding through all of this, and hope you are as excited as us because Natasha's covers never fail to be stunning.

In other news, stickers and prints have arrived! They look fantastic in person, pics don't do them justice (prints have either a soft-touch or satiny finish and the colours are vibrant), but we still wanted to share them with you.



Things are taking shape!

Wishing you all a good week.
Until next time.

Cheers,
MH
