On Their Way....

This is a message for the IGG QV9 backers! For those of you who ordered physical perks, they are on their way via USPS. For those of you who selected one or more of the PDF perks, you should have received an email from DriveThruComics.com. That email contains links to the vouchers you need to download your copy of the PDF you requested.

If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check your spam folder. If you still can't find the email from DriveThruComics, let us know and we'll get the links you need.

Signing and Shipping

Scott has finished autographing all the books, and we've started shipping them out. Your physical perks should show up in the next week or so (might be a bit longer for international shipments). We expect to send out vouchers (via email) to those who wanted the PDF e-books.

Once again, many thanks to our backers. Stand by for further updates.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Back in the Water Bros. Café, during a slow period. Wally Cooper is seating himself at a booth, as Emily Rose approaches him.

Emily: Er, long time no see, Wally.

Wally: Uh, yeah. Mom's taken up the cello. Can't study at home.

Panel 2
Wally (now about 13 years old) is setting up his portable at the table. It consists of a rectangular bar about 15 inches wide which projects a holoscreen above and a holo-keyboard at its base.

Emily: What are you studying?

Wally: Orbital mechanics. Could I please have an iced tea, a BLT sandwich and some solitude?

Panel 3
Emily is standing over next to Babbette the Elder at her cashier's stand, Emily glancing back over her shoulder towards where Wally is sitting.

Emily: I've never seen a kid his age so … so ...

Babbette: Driven? Yeah, that's his way of coping with … the war.

Panel 4
Two-shot of Emily and Babbette. Emily is looking a bit downcast Babbette is looking as though she's unsure of what she's saying.

Emily: Yeah, he was closer to Billy than I was, in a way.

Babbette: Don't know about that, Emily, but if he's found a purpose in life, that's not a bad thing, necessarily.
