Most people have done so already (and I've seen notes that people have received and are enjoying the books, thank you!) but if you haven't, please remember to do so. Still about 30 people who haven't and I cannot ship your book unless you put in the address there for me to do so! Look for an email from BackerKit if you've missed it. I sent out reminders again yesterday.
Shipping Starts Now!

I've just packed the first shipment of books to go out, they will be shipping this and next week and I look forward to seeing how you enjoy Flying Sparks Volume 2.
We'll have an updated final PDF based on our print proof which i'll be uploading to backerkit soon as well, made a couple of word balloon corrections and a typo fix before we sent to the printer, so look out for that.
Volume 3 is done with the line art so we will launch as soon as we are completed shipping volume 2. Be on the lookout. And make sure to tell your friends they can still get in on Flying Sparks through BackerKit at least for the next couple of weeks (Hardcovers and Variant covers will only be while supplies last).
Here's some of Jethro's new art. He's getting better with each issue (also going to be a slight spoiler as to the mood of volume 3):
Thank you again everyone and I hope you enjoy!
Variant Printing This Week!

Because of logistics with our printer, we have to print the variant first, retire the cover, and then go and do the regular cover.
Good news is, we're done and ready! Printing should be happening this week. We found a couple of issues with word balloons and a typo in the digital file so we will be re-uploading one shortly with our ready-to-print file for those who have already downloaded digitally.
I'm excited to get these out! July will be a crazy time to get all these books shipped as we have a lot of orders now between here and backerkit.
If want one of the variant copies (or a second) which are going to be limited to 125 -- there are still a few left. Make sure to put in your order here or through the surveys that went out to your email: https://flyingsparks2.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
And there are still a few folk who haven't filled out their survey. please complete those so we can ship to you!
In other news, Flying Sparks volume 3 is almost done at the line-art stage. We'll be wrapping that up by the end of the month and colors early July, hopefully to be able to letter it in Late July and get the book ready so that as soon as you get Volume 2 in the mail, we'll have a Kickstarter for Volume 3 going.
The goal is to be able to put out 3-issue graphic novels quarterly so we can compete with the big companies who do single issues monthly. It's a grueling schedule but we're working very hard over here!
Thank you again for backing. More updates soon!
Cheers,
Jon
Don't Forget To Fill Out Surveys!!!

About 20% of folk still haven't filled out surveys. The surveys are critical because it auto-delivers you digital rewards (like all the cool stretch goal comics) and it gets your address in the system so we can get ready to ship.
The emails come from BackerKit so check your spam!
Print formatting is underway for Flying Sparks 2 and I should have the order to the printer within the next 2-3 weeks so I can hit my goal of shipping the books out in July.
I hope you enjoyed the book if you read it digitally, and if not, you're in for a wild ride! This book is heating up big time.
Thanks again for all the support.
Your friend,
Jon
Surveys Are Going Out!

Make sure to check your email over the next couple of days for a survey from BackerKit. They'll be going out to you to make sure we've got everything we need to ship the books to you (and also digital rewards will be delivered through backerkit).
Digitally, everything's uploaded. All the books are done, including our new Dynamite Thor #1 (which will be the first part of our next Kickstarter project). I hope you'll enjoy the hundreds of pages of comics that come from this Kickstarter. All that's left is printing!
The surveys should be completely out by end of day tomorrow, so if you don't get an email by then, make sure to check your spam or message me.
I'll also note I have a new prose book out, Spy Training, a steampunk novella where our steam knights are on a dangerous espionage mission. Check it out today!
