PLEASE NOTE: If you are an international backer, no shipping will be charged initially, as you will be billed for shipping afterward.

Hey Kickstarter Family!
In case you miss this week's Stranger Comics upcoming newsletter, this Wednesday will mark our Stranger Comics 15 YEAR ANNIVERSARY. We're celebrating at San Diego Comic Con, where we first unleashed THE UNTAMED: A Sinner’s Prayer #1 on the world, where people first met our company namesake, The Stranger, and the little Half-Elven girl who would become the face of our franchise…Niobe.
To commemorate we did a couple of things
With 15 years of being Stranger: Starting tonight at 6pm PST we are going to give you 20% off the entire website at Stranger Comics for rest of July! Just use Discount Code: IAMSTRANGER! This is great to stack with Discount Bundle sets and to help save on the rare stuff in the Stranger Reserve.
On Wednesday I am putting up 7 copies of each version (Bergting and Hyoung) of THE UNTAMED #1 and THE UNTAMED #2 (all 2009 printing with first appearances of Niobe, The Stranger and in issue #2 Buxton), as a featured item. 7 days, seven souls, 7 original comics that started it all!
SDCC Exclusives: We have just a handful of advance copies of the San Diego ComicCon exclusives of the THE UNTAMED #1 A Sinner's Prayer Ferryman Wraparound cover by Hyoung (The Last of Us) - another great way to get a first app of Niobe, check out the beautiful metals! RED metals only to Patreon Members.
And it's a chance the NIOBE: She Tribe #1 SDCC Sinner Edition by Jae Lee! There will also be RED WU HOMAGE by Javan Jordan for you Hip Hop Heads. A handful of advance copies of this version is only available to Patreon Members, both paper and Metal, also for the NIOBE: She Tribe #1.JOIN PATREON HERE to enjoy our seasonal mystery box and a 20% discount all year round!
Please note: The SDCC exclusive of She Tribe are very limited short order runs of 50 while we wait on our overseas monster shipment for you guys at Kickstarter! I was really hoping to get the shipment back way before then and off to you before we left, and I also wanted to give you an opportunity to get these exclusives. Thank you so much for your patience!
Also, we were hoping to have all the eBooks on all of the new titles a couple of weeks ago, but it will be right after ComicCon! The exciting thing is, we have music for you guys in NIOBE: She Tribe! Can't wait for you to listen with your book!
Much love and thanks so much for always being…Stranger!
Love Seb
SEE YOU AT SDCC BOOTH #2307
SDCC 2009!

Hello Niobe Kickstarter family!
Just a quick update to say thank you to everyone who has filled out their survey!! We’re still waiting on quite a few to come in which helps establish our printing order number, so please keep them coming. But good news is we’re going to print this week!!! The company we are working with has done a lot of our printing in the past so we’re confident it’ll be super high quality :) The printer is overseas as opposed to domestic, so just giving you a heads up it’ll be 2 months but it will be worth it! :)
If you did not get the survey please check your spam or send me a message and we will get you a link. Also, please share on social media when you fill out your survey, and share the PreOrder store here:
MUSIC! Ebooks are looking about 2 weeks away, as we’ve added original music composed by myself and Brown Sugar Fairies creator Aiysha Sinclair, who sings with magic! It is called DAWN LIGHT in honor of my mother. So we’re just sorting that out so you can listen as you read NIOBE: She Tribe - how cool is that! Aiysha has her own kickstarter dropping in August for a new fairy doll! More on that soon! Keep up to date with following her on social media at @brownsugarfairies.
PATREON! Have you joined up yet?! The Summer mystery box will include a NIOBE: She Tribe exclusives and more, it’ll also give you a chance to get the SDCC Anniversary exclusives and the 20% year round discount!
KICKSTARTERS: In addition to the Brown Sugar Fairies doll, more in the world of Asunda will be coming soon. Here is sneak peek of TALES OF ASUNDA: DURA with layouts by Darrell May and inks by Felix Icarus! I'm posting more sneak peeks on our Patreon!
PALS!
EPIPHANY ENGINE
Stranger Comics is so incredibly honored and proud to be a part of this historic event! Remember Secret Wars, and all of the epic crossover comic events back in the days! Well, the good folks at Advent Comics have managed to marshal the forces of Black indie comic creators, publishers, and characters across the globe to create an inter-connected 192 page graphic novel! And our very own DUSU has joined in on the fun!

Hey Stranger Family!
Hope you all had a wonderful Father's Day!
Firstly, I wanted to thank you for all the love and support throughout this wonderful campaign!! I also wanted to apologize for being quiet recently on the Updates! Usually, I am a lot chattier and informative. Life kicked my butt a bit recently, but no excuses and thank you for your patience!
I wanted to let you know it has not stopped getting this super complex Backerkit Survey and PreOrder store in order as…THE GOOD NEWS is…
THE SURVEYS ARE GOING OUT!!!
The Backerkit “smoke test” was sent out today to 5% of random backers with complete success! So far, no one that has filled out their survey has reported any issues. This means every survey will be blasted tomorrow! If you missed anything you wanted to ADD ON during the campaign, you will be able to! You can also come back to the PreOrder store at any point to get more stuff!
SHIPPING We were hoping to get the shipping rocking in June as noted, but looks like we are about one month behind, while we gather surveys. Thanks again for your patience! Packages will start shipping out next month.
EBOOKS As noted on the survey, ebooks will go out mid-July. Hopefully we will have most of the surveys in by then and can push the ebooks out to you all at the same time.
Thank you so much for taking this journey with Niobe and the rest of the crew in the vast and volatile world of Asunda!
Best! Seb
P.S Anyone going to SDCC?
P.P.S Here's a sneak peek of our upcoming NIOBE & DURA #3 campaign :)

Hello Stranger!!!
Happy Monday!!! $100K. WOW!!! All Stretch Goals met! Thank YOU! It's you guys that make this all possible, and I can't wait to share with you all the goodies from Niobe's latest adventure and more!
This final day brings a variety of emotions. Gratitude. Relief. Pride, and humility. This is the campaign that honors my Mum and you have done that, while showing the comic world we have a voice. It also honors all of the incredible artists who have worked so hard on the various books. We introduced the amazing Alex Paterson who did the Akira homage, and interiors on TALES OF ASUNDA: The Disciple with Blond on colors! (STAY TUNED for Confessions of a Demon - Alex drew the issue, and I wrote it with Quincy)! Blond also colored NIOBE: She Tribe, and MORKA MOA! And of course thank you to Darrell who provided layouts and concept art for EVERYTHING, and to Josh for editing and lettering ALL of our books (and doing all the unseen admin)! Plus the wonderful cover artists who have been so supportive throughout this campaign! Much love to Tehani Farr who continues to be such a champion for us. And to Massive Select for collabing with us for the Blade 2 homage by Caanan White. Caanan's interiors on SHE TRIBE are truly stunning! And a thanks to my writing partner on SHE TRIBE, Thuso Mbedu. You are a rock star! But most of all...
A huge thank you to you - THE STRANGER FAMILY - for your love and support for this campaign, and our Half-Elven hero... Niobe. SHE IS LIFE <3
Seb
I guess we better start prepping the new one ;)
P.S SPECIAL THANKS TO MY STRANGER BOOTH CREW! You guys are legends and make conventions so much fun, I love you guys.
P.P.S CREDIT CARDS - TWO WEEKS - As a heads up there have been 80+ cards that have declined. Please check with your banks, as many can be overprotective while some may have expired or there could be a typo with data entry. I will message you :) You have two weeks to fix.

Hey Stranger Family!!
We just hit the $80K mark!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE LOVE!
Something super exciting to share to celebrate!!! We have partnered with the incredible team at MASSIVE PUBLISHING to do a MASSIVE SELECT Exclusive for NIOBE: She Tribe #1. It is an epic BLADE 2 Homage by Caanan White and Blond!!! (Do you have Blade 1 homage? The metal is on the campaign as an ADDON)!
BLADE 2 homage honors the movie that saved the Marvel movie biz so we have gone all out! There are Paper, HoloFoil Editions, Silver and Gold Metals! AND THEY ARE LIMITED AND BEAUTIFUL! So go grab yourself a copy ASAP! Trade dress edition will be retail sooooo...GET THESE VIRGIN EDITIONS BEFORE THEY RUN OUT! The Reward and ADD ON numbers are listed at the top of the campaign page and below!
GET ON A COVER!
We just dropped something amazing and super fun! I am guessing you’ve seen the wrapround cover by Sheldon Mitchell. Well, there are only 7 spots available to get on this beautiful cover with Niobe (aka Thuso Mbedu) and the entire tribe! (Inspired by Barry Jenkins’ Underground Railroad, which starred Thuso)!
Sheldon will literally draw you onto the cover and you get 5 copies of your own. First come, first serve as far as placement, AND THEY ARE GOING FAST! It is Reward 36B or as an ADDON for 36B! For $450 it is a great deal! If you add it is BONUS support cause you are worried about messing up your current pledge let me know ASAP :)
Let them know we have a voice!
HARDCOVERS AND KICKSTARTER EXCLUSIVE HARDCOVERS!
Even though we have READ EVERYTHING bundles, a lot of folks have asked to just get the 6 X HARDCOVER SET or 6 X KICKSTARTR EXCLUSIVE HARDCOVER SET! This is a great idea to get the bundle because our next campaign will be an EXCLUSIVE HARDCOVER ART BOOK and the next ASUNDA HARDCOVER! So look out for Rewards 33A and 36A!
Much love! Seb
PALS!
So many pals have wonderful campaigns also happening right now! Will share more soon! For now let me shed some light on a wonderful series by my friend Madeliene!
An ex-Pinkerton detective, a spirit photographer, and a genius scientist battle supernatural forces in late 1800s Boston.
This deluxe volume features not only our original six issue mini-series, but pin up art, a sneak peak into Granville's weapons designs, PLUS A NEW and EXCLUSIVE TEN PAGE STORY with art/color by MJ Erickson, into a huge 164 page book!
