Above is the Stratocruiser-class hyperjet Guardian 7 piloted by Thunderhawk in a dramatic sequence occurring during SHATTERED TOMORROWS. Speaking of which, I have an update from the printer regarding when the copies I ordered are estimated to arrive here on my end.
Everything is based on my wrapping work on the last 8 pages by no later than March 20, 2024, so I’m basically living at my workstation for the duration as everything else is completed and locked in.
With that established, the printer has supplied me with a schedule of all phases of the operation, including approvals of proofs and so on. The copies are slated to arrive sometime mid- to late June on my end, allowing me a week or so to ship all the pre-ordered copies out all signed and accompanied with the promised Lara-Su prints.
Once the pre-ordered copies are shipped and everyone who ordered notified by email, I’ll begin getting ready to head out to San Diego for Comic-Con.
As a result of how smoothly everything is going with the printers, I can guarantee the next 10 people to pre-order a copy of THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: BEGINNINGS by March 19 will be listed on the SPECIAL THANKS pages.
For those who want to order after the cut-off, I had to figure out a bonus as a thank you I could also ship to those who pre-ordered already. And that bonus is a randomly selected back issue of either SONIC or KNUCKLES that I worked on personally signed by me.
So for those who already pre-ordered BEGINNINGS, there’s a comic book already set aside for those people to accompany their order. For those who ordered and didn’t get on the SPECIAL THANKS list in the book, they’ll still get on the list in the app and this is my make-good for not getting in the book.
Any questions? Simply email me and I’ll do my best to respond ASAP. Thanks for your support in the meantime. It’s appreciated.
I don’t think I’ve been mentioning it much, but I really appreciate the images from the book that accompany these updates.
Very excited for when the book is in my hands!
Same thing, when I started reading Archie Sonic I thought Ken Penders era will be the worst pat in series, but now I think it is really good. I really likes this, sometimes confused, lore, trying to make timelines, theoretizing about Echinda’s society. Thank for your work, I really can’t wait to read it all.
Love how the hyperjet looks here! Very striking, especially in contrast to the background and all.
I think it’s really cool of you to figure something like that out for anyone who doesn’t get in the special thanks list in the book. Whatever back issue I get is gonna hold special significance to me for having received it for this occasion. ^-^
Honestly this book release, the Knuckles show and Sonic Movie 3 are pretty much what’s keeping me going this year haha. I like the ship design a ton
The bonus issue news is extremely cool. I would love to get any issue with Julie-Su since I never had one physically before, but honestly anything is fine, it’s quite generous
Good luck with everything moving forward, Ken
I just managed to get my preorder in, I’m really looking forward to reading the book.
I hope I was able to preorder in time to get in on the special thanks page.
Many thanks.
Matthew, you did indeed make it onto the SPECIAL THANKS page. Thank you for your support. It’s much appreciated.
