Hello, backers! I hope this message finds you well. I'm delighted to share some great news. As you know, we had hoped to make $30,000 to increase it to 64-pages, but we only hit $25,000. After careful review, I've concluded I can afford to expand Ascendant: Star-Spangled Squadron from 48 to 56 pages. The extra 8 pages will enable us to "flesh out" some key scenes and let us decompress the story.

I'm also delighted to share new art work that Mel Joy San Juan has been producing for Star-Spangled Squadron Volume II.

In this scene, 12 Sigma is meeting with the popular podcaster Bo Rogain, who is suspiciously similar to Joe Rogan except for one difference. As with every good podcast, they delve into conspiracy theories...

But perhaps they delve a little TOO deeply, because 12 Sigma soon gets a visit from the Squadron.

It takes all of the persuasive assets of the Squadron to convince 12 Sigma to ally with them.

Everything is on track and proceeding well! Thank you all again for supporting this project.
