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
Wide Panel: Wally's bedroom, at his family's residence. Not your typical teen-aged boy's room – it's kept fairly tidy. Posters on walls from movies featuring famous fictional detectives: Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Nero Wolfe. He's at his desk, gazing at his computer holoscreen.
Voice of Wally's mom (from outside room): Wally? Did you load the dishwasher like I asked you to?
Wally: Yes, Mom.

Panel 2
Looking over Wally's shoulder at the holoscreen. It shows the main page of the Belt Examiner, an online news/blog/tribune (a descendent of the Examiner.com, a network of local news websites featuring articles by citizen journalists in a blog-like platform).
Wally's Mom: Did you re-set the reactor coils like your father asked you to?
Wally: Yes, Mom.

Panel 3
Close-up on the screen. We see a section labeled at the top: Archives: MD 65.130; and underneath, a section labeled “Arrivals Due This Decaday.” and a listing that's too small for us to be able to read, but it's a listing of ship names and scheduled arrival dates.
Wally's mom: Did you feed the cat like, uh, well, did you feed the cat?
Wally: Yes, Mom.
