Hey Niobe family!
A long overdue UPDATE for you wonderful backers who have supported us on this Kickstarter journey. We have shipped everything out except a few metal orders that are finally in. But they should be all out by end of week!
Thank you soooo very much for your patience and understanding. I was sending out updates via our mailchimp weekly newsletter which had your email address, but it seems a lot get lost to spam and promotions folders. I’ll certainly be more active here too! Apologies :) There were some unexpected printer delays with each the paper printer, the foil printer, and the metal printer, but all were remedied, and I am so excited for you to receive them all!
Merchandise: For folks that ordered the swords, miniature, jewelry and other merch type items these get shipped separately from the manufacturer. :)
Overseas: Please expect the shipment to arrive much longer than domestic.
If you have any queries or questions please message me here or at [email protected].
Much love!
Seb
P.S We are still waiting on a few folks to fill out survey. If you haven’t please do so we can get your goodies to you.
P.P.S Morka Moa #2 "Spirit Guardian" Trade Dress by Darrell May. Please note the printer error says issue #1 on the bottom corner of the cover, where it is in fact issue #2 with the issue #2 story. However, as the collectors will tell you, this makes it a rare error variant edition making it worth quite a bit!
P.P.P.S Did you get your $5 gift card to our website? That's our thank you for the wait.
And soooo you can see we're hard at work, here’s a sneak peek of some inks of NIOBE & DURA issue #2 by Sheldon based on Darrell's layouts! We are finally sharing how the World of Asunda was created.

Last year we were rocking our RUINING CHRISTMAS Kickstarter which we have just put up in our store HERE. Remember, this is not appropriate for kids!

The BLADE HOMAGE cover by Caanan White for NIOBE: She is Death #1 (first appearance of ARUKAS THE UNTAMED). In the Reserve we have the beautiful SPOT Colors set of the FOIL Virgin and the Paper Trade Dress. These will go live at 6 PM PST / 9 PM EST on Thursday. Here is the link.
I’ll also note, we still have some of the Jae Lee inks for NIOBE & DURA #1. The color editions are coming so get these while still on discount!

BLACKFRIDAY SALE + FREE BOOK + SURVEY UPDATE :)
over 2 years ago
– Tue, Nov 30, 2021 at 06:01:35 AM
Hey, Stranger Family,
And I mean family sincerely.
(If you missed our newsletter) I’ve been reflecting on the past couple of years as my son just turned 17, and yesterday it was thanksgiving. Last year I was unable to see any family except for Darrell and Josh, and of course a lot of you guys online. In fact, it has been you guys, especially on the Thursday lives on social media that have given me the community I have needed to not only draw inspiration from, but to also heal and feel connected in a deeply moving way. These moments are constant sparks that ignite a drive to do better… be better. Our connections inform what I create. My family is spread all over the world, so the pandemic thickened the extreme emotions of loss and love and gratitude. So, I am thankful for you, who share in the wild ride of the Stranger Comics journey, as we evolve into new endeavors, make new stories, and new friends…it is you, who are the foundation of what we do and why we do it. #strangerfamily.
Use discount code: BLACKFRIDAY for 25% DISCOUNT off EVERYTHING on our website including BOOK BUNDLES and the rare Stranger Reserve - www.strangercomics.com
Here is the link to the STRANGER RESERVE! So, if you want that rare stuff go for it!
All the rare stuff and more, so if you missed last year’s RC Kickstarter please join in the fun! The “ALL HATS” MF DOOM homage is also up! Remember this comic is naughty and not kid friendly.
ECCC: Keep your eyes out for our new Exclusive for THE UNTAMED #1 next week for Emerald City ComicCon. Are you going? We will be there!
KICKSTARTER: It looks like 62% of surveys have been turned in! Please keep them coming so we can get this all wrapped up! Some are still going to spam or promotions folders (you can always do a search for Backerkit to find it). Any questions please email us at [email protected]. Don’t forget, all the goodies can be purchased on the Backerkit store. The rare Metals are very nicely priced so take a look here: https://niobe-and-dura-wrath-of-the-ancient-1.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
So a huge thank you to everyone who support us. We appreciate you!
Please stay safe and see you soon :)
Love Seb
SURVEYS ARE GETTING OUT! UPDATE WITH ADDONS! PALS!
over 2 years ago
– Sun, Nov 21, 2021 at 06:30:56 AM
Oh Happy Day!
Hey Stranger family! The surveys are going out thank goodness, and even better news is we have got them structured in a way for ADDONS and such that’s far simpler than what was mentioned in the last Update! If you haven’t got your survey yet, don’t worry, they send out 5% of the total backers as an initial test to make sure everything works, then everyone gets theirs soon after, so please keep a look out especially in the spam and promotions folders (gmail's promotions folder especially).
When the survey arrives, simply fill it out with what you want! You can also ADDON anything you want from the PREORDER STORE, from the books, to the rare foils, metals and more! THE METALS ARE SUPER LIMITED!
Of course, please reach out with any questions you may have, which you can send here or to the [email protected] email account – where are team will be standing by! Thank you so much for your patience over these past weeks while we got everything sorted, we appreciate you!
Here is a sneak peek of NIOBE & DURA #2 which is in the works!
In issue 2 we will discover how the world of Asunda was created! Inks cover by Sheldon Mitchell!
For the surveys there are a lot of choices for covers (which are on the campaign page), I wanted to once again list out the TIER 1 – 4 cover options here below!
