We've been quiet lately, just putting the next couple books together! Just WAIT until you see what's coming, this is just getting more and more fun. Here are a couple links for you to follow, and a couple teaser screenshots! More coming soon, and thank you for your support! Hopefully, you've got Volume One on your coffee table, and are dipping in and out at your leisure, and digging it half as much as we did putting it together.

By now, you should all have a hot copy of Full Bleed Vol. 1 in your hands! There may be a few stragglers Internationally, but hopefully not, and if you haven't received it yet, you should any minute!

We are so happy these are finally out in the world, and are super proud of the way the first one turned out! And wait until you see Vol. 2! (Word on that soon...!)

We want to hear from you! What did you like the most? What do you want to see more of? Let us know! Right here in the comments, or, if you maybe want to be published in an issue of Full Bleed, send us a letter, to: 

[email protected]

We hope everyone is digging the book as much as we liked putting it together. 

We're live in comic shops tomorrow as well! If you dig the mag, do us a favor and tell a friend or two! You can find us and tag us on social media at:

Getting Ready to Ship!
over 6 years ago – Tue, Jan 23, 2018 at 12:00:12 AM

Hello everyone, and APOLOGIES for lack of information lately! It's a long story, but due to a printer error, we had to go back to press on 3,000 copies of Full Bleed! The books looked absolute great, EXCEPT - There were no slip sheets between the copies, and they all were super smudged. The matte covers really took a beating. 

SO - We knew that was unacceptable. We promoted Full Bleed as a collectible, print-only, prestige product. Shipping you guys damaged copies, simply would not do! But the fresh ones are stateside, they are being shrink-wrapped, and they will be on their way to you within the next 10 days, if not sooner!

Will send another update the second they go out, which should be any day now! Thanks for your patience, and this problem has been solved by the printer moving forward. We knew we were doing something unprecedented here, so there would be hiccups. But problem solved, and Full Bleed will be in your mailbox soon! 

For what it's worth - We sent creator comps out to the contributors of the magazine before we realized the shipment was mostly compromised... And they are all freaking out about this thing! Sorry it's taken a bit to get the first volume in your hands, but hopefully, I think you're all going to think it's worth the wait. 

Viva Full Bleed, and thanks for your patience! We felt a couple weeks additional delay, would be a far better solution than sending you out a damaged product, obviously. 

Thanks!

-Dirk

The Finish Line!
over 6 years ago – Thu, Jan 04, 2018 at 09:23:28 PM

Hey everyone! We just about ready to slap some stamps on these amazing books and get them in the mail to you! Pins are here, prints are here, things are cooking along, and we're so excited to get this first volume into your hands. Will hit you with exact ship date next week, but within a couple weeks, Full Bleed Vol. 1 will be on the way to your mailbox! 

Meanwhile, MOST of you have filled out your backer kit surveys, ensuring the timely shipping of your book(s). But we're still waiting to hear from a few of you! If you haven't filled out your survey, PLEASE do so by next Monday the 8th, or there's a chance you won't get your books along with the first wave! We need your addresses! Here's where to find the survey, if you haven't already filled it out:

Viva Full Bleed! Thanks for all your support, and clear a spot on your coffee tables, this thing is a beauty.

To say I was happy to see a box of Full Bleed Vol. 1 show up at the office today...is a bit of an understatement. As good as we knew it was going to be.....It's better! 

Here are a few snapshots of the book, just so you guys all know it exists! We remain on track for a mid-January release, just waiting for pins, prints and assorted goodies. But Full Bleed is a go! Here are a few snapshots of the book below, just to wet your whistle. 

Tell your friends! More copies of Vol. 1 are still available, just hit that pre-order button at the top of Kickstarter page! 

Viva Full Bleed! Thanks for all your support, and can't wait to get this thing in everyone's hands! -Dirk
