We Did It! What's Next?

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING HELLBENT!

We did it! Thanks to all you hellraisers we reached 146% of our funding goal! Without you the HELLBENT saga would have never be possible, and we're so happy to be able to conclude this journey with you all. THANK YOU!!!

I've said it before, but it's always worth mentioning. Every independent comic is a labor of love, and we're so thankful for your continued support!

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

So, what now? Here's a rough fulfillment timeline for the HELLBENT Complete Edition.

• 2-3 WEEKS: The Kickstarter funds should be released to me.
• 3-4 WEEKS: Backerkit Surveys will go out! (We use Backerkit to help with fulfillment.) 
• SEPTEMBER: Surveys due! We'll need your surveys about two weeks after they are sent out. (If you don't fill out your survey, I won't be able to get you your rewards!)
• OCTOBER: Once we're finished compiling the book it will go to the printers! (The printing process usually takes a minimum of 30 days.)
• NOVEMBER: Once I receive everything from the printers, then fulfillment will begin! (I will be packing all the rewards myself, so it may take some time to get everything out the door.)
• DECEMBER: Expected delivery to US backers. International backers may take a little bit longer. (Estimated 4 weeks.)

Or course, there is always the possibility of unforeseen delays, but we're prepared for that, and we'll keep you updated every step of the way. If there are any delays, we will let you know!

In the meantime, make sure all your Kickstarter info is up-to-date, and keep an eye on your emails!

Thank you again for going on this adventure with us. We're so excited to share the complete collection of HELLBENT with you! - DJ

Last Days of Hellbent!
6 months ago – Tue, Jul 30, 2024 at 11:02:32 AM

THE END IS NEAR!

Hello hellraisers! The Kickstarter for the Hellbent Complete Edition is in its final days, and we're so tantalizingly close to reaching our Stretch Goal, an ALL-NEW short story illustrated by Rye Hickman (Bad Dream, The Harrowing) that I wanted to share another sneak peek at the short!

We're also working on NEW Compendium Pages! Our compendium pages have been a great way to flesh out the world of Hellbent, and we're excited to explore our lore even more in this collection with new illustrations by Ella Carter! 

SHARE THE GOOD NEWS!

Be sure to get the word out about this project! The Kickstarter algorithm has been uncharacteristically unkind to us this time around, so fewer people are finding this campaign. Let's shout it from the rooftops for these last few days and reach our Stretch Goal! - DJ

Week 3 • A Look At Our Cover Gallery!

WEEK THREE BEGINS!

Hello hellraisers! We are now entering our third week of the Hellbent Complete Edition on Kickstarter, and we're 115% funded! That means we're only about 16 backers away from reaching our first Stretch Goal, an ALL-NEW Short Story illustrated by the illustrious Rye Hickman! So, get out there and tell everyone you know about the Hellbent Complete Edition, so we can expand this graphic novel with the story of how Nick got his sword! In the meantime, I wanted to give you all a special look at some of the covers that will be featured in our COVER GALLERY! 

We've had some amazing artists craft incredible covers over the course of the Hellbent saga, and every one of them will be lovingly displayed in this collection!

SHARE THE GOOD NEWS!

That's it for this week! As always, I truly appreciate all our Hellbent backers for supporting this crazy collection. If you know anybody out there that loves comics, especially supernatural thrillers with diverse characters from a diverse team of creators, be sure to let them know about Hellbent! - DJ

Funded and First Stretch Goal!
7 months ago – Mon, Jul 08, 2024 at 09:51:24 AM

Hello hellraisers! For everyone that has returned from our previous Hellbent campaigns, welcome back! And to everyone who's checking out the Hellbent saga for the first time, thanks for joining us! 

We have officially hit our initial funding goal! The Hellbent Complete Edition is happening! 

Of course, this is just the beginning. As any of you Kickstarter veterans know, the initial funding goal is just the beginning, as we work towards making the final version of the comic and our other rewards as absolutely awesome as the people who back it! 

So, I'm excited to reveal our first Stretch Goal: an ALL-NEW STORY!

That's right, on top of the ALL-NEW Epilogue chapter illustrated by Kam White, and the never-before-printed short story featuring Lydia illustrated by Heather Vaughan, we'll be including a third ALL-NEW story revealing the origins of Nick's infamous flaming sword. Not only that, but it will be illustrated by the incredible Rye Hickman (Bad Dream, The Harrowing)!

I've admired Rye's work for years, and I'm so grateful they lent their talents to this absolutely vital part of Hellbent lore. This new story will be unlocked once the campaign hits our $5000 stretch goal!

SHARE THE GOOD NEWS!

We're so excited that you've chosen to go on this journey with us, now get there and share the good news about Hellbent! Together we can hit that stretch goal and beyond! - DJ
