Look what arrived at my house this morning....
Great news everyone! Over the weekend, we shipped about 60% of the packages that have to go out! Those plus the digital-only pledges means that we're about 70% fulfilled!
My package arrived this morning, so if you're in the US you have a good shot at getting a package in the next day or two. Next up are a few of the larger domestic packages and all the international ones.
Thanks for all your support! Keep an eye on your mailboxes and then we're planning to start a new campaign for the return of Anne Bonnie!
If you're looking for another good book that we're working on NOW, take a look at Jerry's CICADA SAMURAI. He just added an interior pages preview to the campaign, added a few pages to his story, more pages to the book, and is running a pinup competition for new artists HERE. Dig it:
Cicada Samurai is about a lone immortal cicada with magical samurai fighting powers, whose charge is to protect a brood of millions of young cicadas from a whole host of hungry, bloodthirsty predators.

BILLY THE KIT's new issue is scheduled to ship to us today - which means we hope to ship it to you this coming weekend!
While you wait, Billy The Kit editor Jerry Carita (me, actually) has launched a campaign for his new book: CICADA SAMURAI. It was just labeled a "project we love" by Kickstarter, which means it's doing pretty well so far! It's a short story about an immortal cicada (yes the insect) imbued with special samurai powers so that he can protect his brood from many bloodthirsty predators. It's really about parenting and protecting your kids, but with violence and martial arts and flying insect people.

Friends… very excited to say we got the proof printout from our printer and the books looks GREAT on the outside…
However…
The page on the right is part of a 2 page spread…
Once we get to the bottom of the missing pages in the proof (maybe done intentionally for just the proof?) we’ll approve and have the full shipment in hand and then in your hand in just a few short weeks.
In the meantime, you may have heard that a giant tree fell on Billy The Kit creator Justin Gray’s home, nearly crushing his daughter and leaving his home in need of about 8 months’ worth of repairs. As he looks for a temporary home and counts his blessings that no one was hurt beyond some scratches and bruises, you can cheer him up by following his next project - a pir of thrilling pulp novels. click the image to follow along and show some support, ya know…for the love of comics.

Billy The Kit print files are with the printer!
We should have your comics in our hands in about 14-18 days, and you'll have them in your hands very very shortly after that!
Thanks again for supporting Billy The Kit, supporting Blue Juice Comics, and for seeking out weird indie comics in the first place. We literally couldn't do this thing that we love without you.
Our partner, friend, and co-editor, Jerry Carita, is getting ready to hit LAUNCH on his first creator owned book - a gory action story about an immortal cicada with special samurai abilities, charged with protecting millions of young cicadas from all manner of monsters. He's working with Mary Landro, who had her own VERY successful first kickstarter campaign for RICH THE COMIC earlier this year. Please follow the campaign above or below so you don't miss this great story when it launches!
