Hello!

How to Build an Army shipped... a while ago.  Full disclosure, I forget to send an update after they shipped, sorry about that!

Please, if anyone has not received their products yet, send me a message and I will look into it!

In other Lakeshore Comics news, Broken Trident #2 is nearing completion!  The artist is finishing up the last few pages, then we'll be on to lettering, then it's off to the printer!  If you missed out on the Broken Trident #2 Kickstarter, don't worry, you can pre-order your copy here.

Check out this amazing artwork from Broken Trident #2!

Also, you have to see all 6 cover options!

Thank you so much for your support and helping our comic creation dreams come true!

Great news!

The hardcovers are in!  That was the last piece that we were waiting for so we could start the shipping process.

That is all for now, be on the lookout for another update soon when everything ships!

Thanks!

It's been a while (not the Staind song...)

Hello!

I want to start off by saying I am very sorry that it has been a while since I have posted an update.  I have backed a lot of projects on Kickstarter and I understand the excitement of getting to hold that comic book in your hands!  I also understand the anxiety of waiting for that comic or even just waiting for an update.

This summer has been a crazy one for me, with a lot of work hours at my day job, and a lot of... interesting... ups an downs in my personal life.  I will not bore you with the details, nor do I want to make excuses, just know that I am doing great now, and also know that I did not forget about my loyal Kickstarter backers!

Now, for the good news!  The How to Build an Army Hardcovers are being shipped to me as I type this message.  As soon as I receive those, I will begin the shipping process, so you should have your products by mid to end of Aug or shortly thereafter.

Thank you so much for being a huge part of Lakeshore Comics and How to Build an Army.

We could not do this without you!

Thanks again!
