Aspen Backers!!

Fulfillment here at Aspenstore has been going full speed all week getting orders packaged and out the door! As of this morning we're at 65% fulfilled and we'll easily be well over 70% by the end of the day! I've been very happy with our pace and cannot wait for all of you to start receiving your packages! 

In fact, the first wave of international orders has also shipped out! You can see the huge pallet of boxes we built in the pic below that is now on the way with more next week! 

Some other good news... all of the metal books and cards have ARRIVED this afternoon! That means we'll just need a day to prep and get them signed but orders including those items will begin shipping in the next few days. The metal prints are just a few days behind those but will also start shipping early next week too!

Later today we'll be LIVE again from Aspenstore at 4p PST / 7p EST where I'll be showing off the sketch covers by Alex and Peter plus giving you an early look at some of the great Michael Turner books that will be going up for sale tomorrow on Aspenstore.com for our Michael Turner Classics Sale! Please make sure to join us on our Aspen Comics' Facebook page and I'll see you then!

Aspen Backers!!!

Hope everyone is great!

I'm here in Ohio at Aspenstore and things are going are good as can be with our SOULFIRE THE CORE fulfillment! As of this morning we were sitting at 36% fulfilled and we should be closer to 45% or more by the end of the day! As you can see from the pics below, we're processing a couple hundred orders per day so be on the lookout for your tracking if you haven't received it already!

For our international backers, the first wave of orders will be out by the end of the week with more shipping out next week!

As I've mentioned before, we're still awaiting the metal products, which include the books, prints and cards. However.... I did receive some good news and those should arrive here by the weekend! Anyone who has a metal item in your order, it shouldn't be too much longer til we're able to process those as well!

Please make sure to join me later today at 2p PST / 5p EST for our Facebook LIVE update show! I'll be live from Aspenstore and will be showing off all of the campaign goodies coming your way! See you all then!

Books are PRINTED and on the way to Aspenstore!!
over 3 years ago – Sat, Jul 30, 2022 at 04:54:23 PM

Aspen Backers!!!

Hope all of you are doing fantastic! 

The past two weeks have been a whirlwind for us, prepping for Comic Con, attending the show for the week, and now in full recovery mode from returning to San Diego after nearly three years away! You definitely forget just how exhausting the con is but it's well worth it getting to see everyone after such a long time! 

While we were there, we received in so much GOOD news in regards to SOULFIRE THE CORE which I'm happy to share with you now...

As you read in the email title, the books are PRINTED and on their way to Aspenstore! We had originally expected to receive in the books around mid July but there was a few week delay with the holofoils and some other cover applications that slightly delayed our shipment. With all of the craziness still going on with resourcing and printing availability, I'm very grateful our books are now done and on the way! 

So what does that mean?

Once the books arrive next week, our team at Aspenstore will begin the process of unpacking the pallets and getting the thousands of books sorted, bagged and boarded, and ready for signing! That will take a few days and most likely bleed into next weekend. 

At that point...

Fulfillment will officially BEGIN the week of August 8th! 

I'll be heading to Aspenstore that week to assist in getting as many orders completed as quickly as possible so all of you can start receiving your packages by mid month! Alex Konat will also be at Aspenstore that week to sign all of the books that requested signatures!

Some more good news...

Though I've advised several times that the LENTICULAR and METAL Edition covers take several weeks longer to produce, the Lenticulars are almost completed and should be arriving at Aspenstore around the same time I do. I'm also following up on the Metals to see if there's a chance of getting those in hand that week as well! I'll keep everyone posted once I hear back with more info!

All non-book products have been received in at Aspenstore, and everything looks amazing! Actually...the campaign t-shirts are still in transit to arrive next week, but I've included our latest Status Report Update and pics of everything else below for you to check out!

We showed off all of the Soulfire The Core covers yesterday on our Aspen Comics Facebook LIVE Update show. The link is right here if you'd like to view the video! Cover Reveal Show

I'll have another update for you next week once the books arrive and then we'll do a LIVE show from Aspenstore the week I'm there to show you all of the campaign goodies live and in person! 

Enjoy the weekend!

Printing Update and BATMAN?!?
over 3 years ago – Wed, Jul 13, 2022 at 06:20:33 AM

Aspen Backers!!

Hope everyone is doing great!

Wanted to drop by and get all of you some new updates on how the books are doing. As of today, we're on track to receive them in before the end of the month so the goal is to begin fulfillment as soon as they're received. The Lenticular and Metal covers will be approx two weeks after that but you won't have to wait much longer til your SOULFIRE THE CORE items arrive to you!

In the meantime, we've been preparing for our return to COMIC CON INTERNATIONAL: SAN DIEGO next week! We have some awesome exclusives and great surprises on the way. In fact, today I'll be announcing when our brand new BATMAN #125 Exclusives go LIVE for PREORDER so please make sure to join me in a few minutes at 2p PST/ 5p EST for our latest Facebook LIVE Update Show.

See you all then!
