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
Terry has sat down at the kitchen island and holds her cup towards Leon. We see just his arm pouring more coffee in her cup.
Terry: Why Panama, Leon? I never understood why you set up our offshore operation there.
Panel 2
Smallish panel. Leon grinned and looks to the side with a humorous expression on his face.
Leon: Early on when I was starting BALListic Solutions, I spoke at a space conference near San Francisco.
Panel 3
Flashback panel of Vincent Cassandra talking passionately to a younger Leon at a space conference. Vincent looks a bit on the crazy side of passionate.
Leon (Narrating): After my presentation, I was button-holed by this intense 'space nut' named Vincent Cassandra. He told me that the perfect place in the world for private space development was Panama.
Leon (narrating): I couldn't see it and told him so. Then he foretold what was going to happen to me.
Panel 4
Close-up of Vincent's frustrated, huffy face, shaking a finger in a condescending way.
Leon (narrating): He said that I would spend millions of dollars on a launch facility in the US, but then the government would suddenly 'discover' that my down-range was the habitat of the endangered 'Mexican jumping bean' and that they would rescind my launch license.
