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
Continue the scene at the bar. Carlos is angrily confronting Ed, as Larry stands by.
Carlos: Isn't the Belt an anarchy?
Carlos: So how come all the rules about no physical stuff?
Panel 2
Looking past Carlos at Ed, who remains calm.
Ed: Carlos, anarchy means 'no rulers,' not 'no rules.'
Ed: Rules – or more correctly, 'guidelines' – are an emergent phenomenon in all cultures, even anarchies.
Panel 3
Two-shot of Ed and Carlos, Carlos looks a little surprised when Ed speaks to him in Spanish. The translations appear in a caption box at the bottom of the panel.
Ed: Amigo, yo no quiero verte convertido en un 'social veinte-veinte.'
Caption: 'I don't want you to be a 'social 20-20.'

Panel 4
Another two-shot, focusing more on Carlos, looking perplexed.
Ed: Un 'veinte-veinte social,' es un tipo que no ha aprendido lo que significa ser libre. Puede que lo mataran.
Caption: 'A 20-20 is a guy who doesn't understand what it means to be free. It can get him killed.'
