 I am happy to say that Both artists MEDINA and BUTLER will be signing all of the covers that they worked for the final campaign. So all of you that have ordered the BUTLER Variant cover, you will be getting a signed one instead. So you all still have time to get your ADD-ON in before they lock out. I was so grateful that they both accepted my request to sign the variant covers due to their busy schedules. Here are the covers..

Surveys sent out! 50% completed so far.

I wanted to let everyone know that I have sent out all of the surveys through Backerkit. I have gotten a great response so far with over 50% completed. I am greatly excited for a few of you who added on the GRAPHIC NOVEL to your order, I know you will love the final colored book. Now I need to get the rest of you onboard. The surveys lock out on the 20th of March, so you still have time to use up some that TAX REFUND to order your GRAPHIC NOVEL before it locks out. Please look through all of the add-ons as well. I really have some great artwork by the artists that had contributed their skills to my comic book series. So message me if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks again Mike

 Hello Everyone, HAPPY LUNDI GRAS!! Tomorrow is the big day, FAT TUESDAY- Mardi Gras. I am taking the day off today to finally finish the letters for BOOK EIGHT . And guess what, I did!  HOORAY!! I am finally finished the entire series for now. The artists are still working hard in getting the full color graphic novel completed before May. The colorist(DAVE) has just started BOOK 7, and the letterer (Ken) has just started BOOK 6 letters. We are moving at a great pace and should have everything finished as I promised.

The colorist(DAVE) has just started BOOK 7, and the letterer (Ken) has just started BOOK 6 letters. We are moving at a great pace and should have everything finished by the end of April. 

I have more great news. Dinei Ribeiro has just finished the wraparound cover for the graphic novel. This novel will be VOLUME 1 of the Malsevian Chronicles called "The Draconis Project". I am hoping to get started with Vol.2 very soon. So here is the new cover. it totally looks AWESOME!!!!

Allan Jefferson has decided to color(paint) the Original Artwork for me. I will be offering this AWESOME piece of artwork on Backerkit for $830.00. This will be a completed 2-page wraparound published cover. And if it does not sell, I will be getting this bad boy framed for my wall.

He has also informed me that he will be finishing up all of the commissions by the end of the month, so when those come in, I will be posting those to you ASAP.

I am also running the SMOKE test for Backerkit in a few minutes. I will be sending out a small amount of surveys to some of the backers to make sure everything is correct. Then I will send out the remains surveys to the rest of you. 

I am excited to be able to offer the graphic novel and all metal and Variant cover copies of Book Eight to all of you who could not buy them during the campaign.I will be getting all of the STEVEN BUTLER and ANGEL MEDINA covers signed by the artist themselves. So if you want to get one one please pledge for it so I know how many to get signed. 

 I am hoping that each of you will get a full color graphic novel for your collection. This will be Volume One of the Malsevian Chronicles called "The Draconis Project". This will be a 220pg. full color graphic novel with extras. PLUS anyone who purchases the GRAPHIC NOVEL through BACKERKIT will get a MEDINA metal bookmark to go with the book for FREE. I am only offering those here on Backerkit.

I will be offering some great ORIGINAL ARTWORK and Sketch cards by some of the famous DC and Marvel Artists the industry today. I also have a few ORIGINAL Artwork covers from the earlier books as well as Book Eight. So if anyone is interested please message me for that unique cover. 

I wanted to share with you the printing costs breakdown for Book Eight and the Graphic novel that I decided to get colored all at once. It will cost me around 1500. to print and ship all of the books to your door. So all extra ADD-ONS count. But I am sure that we will have no problem in getting close to this mark.

I want to thank all of you again for your support throughout my entire journey in creating this comic book series for you all to read and enjoy. I will be ready for Vol. 2 sooner rather than later.

So keep an eye out for your surveys. They will be active for TWO WEEKS , so it will give you time to pledge for any new ADD-ONS that you wanted earlier but could not get a chance to get them. Thanks Mike
