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.

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
Leon is still rambling. Terry is sitting on the couch, she's obviously irritated that Leon is taking forever in explaining why Cisco is the blackmailer.
Leon: The one thing Cisco wanted most, though, was to go into space. He was an early space tourist on a Virgin Galactic sub-orbital flight, but told me later that it just wasn't enough.
Leon: Anyway, long story short...
Panel 2
Zoom out so we have a wider view of the living room. Leon and Terry are very small.
Leon: He used his money and connections to investigate everyone in the launch business. BALListic was put under the microscope and he thought some things just didn't add up.
Leon: I don't know how, but he ferreted out our offshore connections, cut-outs and so forth.
Panel 3
A flashback panel of Leon looking concerned and Cisco talking to him.
Leon (Narration): He came to me and told me what he knew. Man, was I worried. But you can guess the rest. He basically said,
Cisco: Take me, or read about your plan in the New York Times.
Panel 4
Medium close-up of Leon with one of his arms up in a "what am I gonna do" stance.
Leon: I don't like to be extorted, but he brought his skills as a pilot, his money and— most important—his connections, to the table.
Leon: So, I said, yes.
