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
Chang and Ed in Ed's recovery room.
Ed: They have autodocs on Terra, don't they?
Chang: Officially, no. Nanotech, biotech and AI 'expert systems' are largely banned on Earth.

Panel 2
Chang and Ed.
Chang: If you had gotten the same wound on Earth, you would have died, for real.
Ed: 'Officially …?'

Panel 3
Medium shot of Chang.
Chang: It's an open secret that the rich and politically connected buy Martian autodocs; they always have them nearby.
Chang: Not the same here, I take it.

Panel 4
Ed and Chang. Ed speaking, Chang just looking thoughtful.
Ed: They're everywhere. Everybody has them at home.
Ed: Ditto for work-sites, stores, theaters, restaurants, transportation hubs, and so on.
