Hey everyone,

We're thrilled to announce that we've reached our first stretch goal, thanks to your amazing support! And because YOU voted for it, we're excited to reveal that we'll be continuing our trading card line with the talented Sundra Peale along with an original art trading card as a new pledge level!




ANNOUNCING A 2025 CALENDAR
But that's not all! You also loved the idea of a 2025 calendar, so we're making that happen too! To unlock this awesome reward, we need to hit our next stretch goal of $20,000. That means more amazing art and another trading card to add to your collection! 

 

GET ALL THE TRADING CARDS FOR $15

Want to get your hands on these trading cards? If BakerCat Studios reaches its funding goal, ALL backers of both campaigns will receive the trading cards for FREE – even backing them at the $15 digital pledge level! That's right, you can get all the unlocked cards for just $15! (Backers must have pledged to at least one of the mailed campaigns.) 

Please note: If BakerCat Studios doesn't reach its funding goal, the trading cards will not be available for purchase. This is your only chance to get your hands on these exclusive collectibles!

So head over to their campaign now and show your support!

Let's keep the momentum going and unlock that calendar!

Thanks again for your incredible support!  

We're absolutely blown away by your incredible support! Thanks to your generosity, we're rapidly closing in on our $15,000 stretch goal!

With just 11 days left, we're in a nail-biter finish! Your contributions are crucial in paying our talented crew who brought The Battle for Thuneworld to life and allowing Steve to focus full-time on Nexus, bringing you the next issue.

We're so close to our $50,000 goal! Can we do it? Absolutely!

Stay tuned for Steve's livestream this week - he's got some exciting news and exclusive content planned!

Share this update and help us reach our goal! Every share brings us closer to making Nexus a reality.  We've created a shortcut for sharing: www.steverude.com/comictopia.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Attention Starbase Commanders,

Shields Up! We've breached the funding barrier!  This is Captain Horatio Hellpop of Ylum, and thanks to your unwavering support, we've reached our initial mission objective.

But our stellar course isn't set yet!  The intergalactic crowdfunding charts show a new challenge: securing a coveted position as a Top 3 Trending Project!

Every backer is a photon in our warp core!  Spread the word! Share our transgalactic coordinates (www.steverude.com/comictopia) with your fellow spacefarers. The more who join our mission, the stronger our warp field becomes, propelling us towards the podium.

Attention Temporal Officers!  The free miniaturized print artifact – a reward for early spacefarers –  is still on board, but its temporal anchor weakens! It departs at 10 am Earth time! Beam your allies aboard before they're lost in the time stream. ⏳

But wait! There's a new directive from the bridge: As long as the backer train keeps rolling, the free mini-print incentive will continue!  Keep the momentum going, and this reward becomes a permanent fixture on our vessel!

Engage! Let's push our warp drive to the limit and rewrite the crowdfunding record books!

To the stars and beyond,

Captain Horatio Hellpop

This is Captain Horatio Hellpop of the Ylum. We've encountered a temporal anomaly – our position on the intergalactic crowdfunding charts has slipped to Quadrant 4!

Our mission-critical directive is to secure the coveted position of Top Trending Project. To achieve warp speed and slingshot past our competitors, we require additional crew members!

Every backer is a vital component in our starship! Share our transgalactic coordinates (www.steverude.com/comictopia) with your fellow spacefarers. The more who join our mission, the stronger our warp field becomes.

Attention Temporal Officers! The early bird singularity – offering the free miniaturized print artifact – collapses in less than 48 Earth rotations (10 am PST today)! Beam your allies aboard before they're lost in the time stream.

Respond to this transmission immediately! Together, we can boldly go where no project has gone before.

Live long and prosper,

Captain Horatio Hellpop signing off
