Full Bleeders!

It occurred to us yesterday, this whole campaign has been a pretty one-sided affair, just us telling you what we're going to do, and how great it is. But we want to hear from you!

Volume 2 is about to go to print, and thanks to you all we'll be doing this for a while. So we want to know... What are your favorite articles from the first volume? What are you excited about that's in the second? What would you like to see more of? Less off?

Any dream interviews you think we should go after? Any artists you think are un-sung?

Let us know! Comment either here or on the main page! Your input matters to us, you guys are the reason we're able to make Full Bleed, let us know what we can do to make this thing even better!

And if you haven't joined our Facebook page yet, there's another spot to let us know how we're doing:

Last but not least, here's something I'm excited about for the second volume - The opening spread of the Walter Simonson interview!

PRESS & SNEAK PREVIEWS!

Hey everybody! I realized I posted this only on the new campaign for those who've jumped on board for volume two...And neglected to tell you about it here! Anybody who hasn't either already subscribed, or signed up for the next book... You've still got time, and here are a few teasers: 

Only 7 days left on our latest campaign, please spread the word, so we can get up past those stretch goals, and convert some new subscribers!

Here are some links to read, share, and dig!

Our friends at the CBLDF ran a preview of our interview with the Hernandez Brothers:

Viva Full Bleed, good people! This book is about ready for prime time, just wait until you get a look at it.

ADD-ON Items and some STRETCH GOALS announced for Volume 2!
over 6 years ago – Tue, Apr 17, 2018 at 04:51:07 PM

We're at about the half-way point everybody, time to announce a couple of small stretch goals, with more to come! We've fully funded, so zero worries, Volume 2 is well under way! But we need to some more subscribers to ensure we get to keep doing this long term, so let's spread the word!

Head over to our campaign for Volume 2 to check it out: 

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/41834867/full-bleed-vol-2-deep-cuts?ref=user_menu

First of all - ADD-ON ITEMS - Because YOU demanded it! We've added levels for those folks who've already subscribed to the book, but still want to be able to get the prints and pins available for Volume 2! Frankly, we should have thought of this before, and we want everything to be available for everybody who wants it! So if you already bought in for a subscription, but you want Walter Simonson's Limited & Signed print, now's your chance!

AT 25K - Everyone who's pledged, at ANY level, on EITHER of our two campaigns, is going to get a free digital download of "RIOT AXE," the debut album by the IDW Publishing house band, The Woodford Brownlee band. This is garage rock at its most gnarly. Once we hit 25,000 everybody gets the album. Check them out here!

AT 30K - Everyone who's pledged at ANY level, on EITHER of our two campaigns, gets a "Cutting Room Floor" PDF! Behind the scenes photos, uncut manuscripts, top secret email correspondence with creators (addresses redacted of course!), sneak peeks at unseen art, and more! An unprecedented look at the creative process of FULL BLEED!

Thanks for your support everybody! Onward and Upward, and Viva Full Bleed!

Hey, if you're not a subscriber already, plenty of time to hop on board our new campaign! 21 days to be exact. This the perfect time to sign up, because stretch goals and bells and whistles are about to be announced... Just sent this update to the backers on the new campaign, but if you're not signed up yet, didn't want you to miss out! Thanks for all your support, viva the printed word, and viva Full Bleed! - Dirk

THANK YOU FULL BLEED FANS!

It's been a few days, and we've been on the road, but just wanted to say thanks to your support, we're fully funded for Volume 2, and it happened within 24 hours! But we're going to keep the pressure on, because we need more subscribers for this thing to really fly. They tell us print is dead. Nay I say! We're going to keep doing this as long as they'll let us. So if you could do us one more favor, and tell your friends about Full Bleed, we'll be forever in your debt.

Lots of updates coming soon, some stretch goals with rewards, we're going to be doing some fun stuff with Kickstarter live, etc etc. In the meantime, here's just a quick sneak peek at a spread from our interview with the Hernandez Brothers in Volume 2!

FULL BLEED VOL. 2 IS LIVE!
over 6 years ago – Tue, Apr 03, 2018 at 02:07:11 PM

Greetings Full Bleed People! Thanks for your support so far, hope you all enjoyed Volume 1... Now, here's Vol. 2! DEEP CUTS!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/41834867/full-bleed-vol-2-deep-cuts

If you subscribed for the whole year already, no need to do anything, you're already on tap for Volume 2. But please tell your pals, we need plenty more subscribers to keep this thing rolling! 

If you bought Volume 1 only...Well, here's your chance to get on board for the next one! Thanks all, and Viva Full Bleed! We're excited about how this one is turning out, could possibly be even better than the first.
