It's the Final Countdown!
Hi everyone,
Little-known co-writer Natalie Cooper here. Thank you so much to everyone who has backed the project so far and who's shared it, reached out about it, or otherwise...
How time flies! And yet, crawls ever onwards. We've somehow made it to March. Apologies for the radio silence for the last couple of months, the whole team has been adjusting to the year now being 2025.
The art for the book is chugging along. Melissa is really doing some incredible work and we can't wait for you to see it. For now, here's a little peek at some pencils...
I promise, you will never in a million years guess what they are arguing about
Timeline-wise, the art for the book is about a quarter done. Once the art is completed, Jordaan and I (hi, Natalie here!) will do a quickie dialogue pass before the lettering is done, putting our estimated release somewhere around spring of 2026.
In the meantime, if you'd like to meet Jordaan or check out any other Arledge Comics titles, the team will be at Emerald City Comic Con! Stop by and say hi to them. Unfortunately, if you want to meet me, you'll have to travel to the frozen streets of Toronto and look for the forlorn Leafs fan.
Zach and Sharron are cool too
That's all for now. Thank you so much for supporting small, independent comics and we look forward to updating you soon!
We're still hard at work finishing the book. Melissa is doing an amazing job on the interiors. Natalie and I will be finishing our lettering pass of the script once we're through our respective holidays.
I don't have much I can share in this update, so how about some behind the scenes shenanigans?
Scroll down for shenanigans - as they may contain spoilers~
Melissa is hard at work on Bouquets & Death Rays. We're on track to release next year. We've got a spoiler-free preview below!
Natalie and I will be going through the script for a final lettering pass in the coming months as we're ready to wrap up production.
PS - do you like poetry? Or are you a fan of art books? My sister (and Arledge Comics co-founder) and I have a new project running with Booktopia right now. Check it out here!
Thank you to each of you - all 130 of you! - who backed this project and made it possible. We smashed our first stretch goal - rom com post card prints - and were well on our way to the second goal. We even had a overtime train going!! We ran a whole ten minutes longer than Comictopia thanks to late pledges (we see you! welcome!).
What's Next:
After a campaign, the team likes to take a little break and come down from the stress and excitement and stress of running a crowdfunding campaign. Once we've back from that well deserved break, we'll start working on the pledge manager.
Here on out, our updates are going to contain backer-only previews of the book as Melissa finishes it. So keep an eye out for behind the scenes shenanigans!
