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
Group shot of our heroes sitting around the coffee table. Focus is on Bert, who is speaking. Drenkowski is sitting somewhere to the right of Bert. Arana is close to his left side.
Bert: Okay, let's recap:
Bert: Mac, Nisa, Ernie and I will be transported to the Groom Lake facility by Commander Drenkowski in his almost-invisible spaceplane.
Drenkowski: The Free Bird.

Panel 2
Closer shot on Bert, angled so we can also see a smiling Arana.
Bert: Yeah, great name suggestion, Arana.
Bert: The Commander will keep the motor running, while the rest of us go in to get Neanne and Nowra.

Panel 3
Medium close-up on Bert.
Bert: The rest of Nowra's family were shipped home a couple of decadays ago.
Bert: That simplifies things, but it also tells us we may not have a lot of time.

Panel 4
High angle shot of the whole group again, Bert gesturing as he speaks.
Bert: Ernie and I will act as lookouts and provide suppressing fire – but only as a last resort.
Bert: We want to waltz in and out with nobody being the wiser.

Panel 5
Shot including Tobi, flanked by Nisa and Mac, listening to Bert.
Bert (OP): Nisa and Mac will go in and locate Neanne and Nowra, and escort them out.
Bert (OP): We'll comm Nowra when we land so they'll be ready.

Panel 6
Final group shot, lower angle, focus on Bert. Some of the characters will have to have their backs to us.
Bert: Ernie and I will cover the rear, then Drenkowski will fly us out.
Bert: Easy peasy, lemon-squeezy.
