I want to thank everyone for their support in backing this project, sharing it on social media, and getting the word out. We made our extended goal of $1080 which means we have reached Kickstarter Success!
EXTENDED PROJECT:

After we finish the comic book we will create a 15 page mini comic. This mini comic book will be available through the Madman of Magic Website (www.madmanofmagic.com) for all to read. You will receive an email through Kickstarter when this is available. We are hoping to have it done before the end of the year.
EXTENDED REWARDS (MORE COOL STUFF!)
You will get their name inside this mini comic book and be able to include their web address if you would like.
Also, everyone who backed of $8 or more, you get stickers in your shipment!!!
Time Line
With the Kickstarter campaign completed, Leah and I will be retreating for a weekend into Northern Wisconsin to visit family and show off Leah’s new Baby Belly (she is due in November). While there, we will be putting together a production schedule and hashing out the idea of some re -writes for the first comic book.
Re-writes
To make it clear on the re-writes, the comic book isn’t changing, but we are trying to figure out in the story line of the main character where we want to start. This has been a reaction to some of the feedback on the YouTube channel (currently at approximately 8,000 views and 1,000 comments).
Production
After that, we will be laying out the comic book panels, creating illustrations, adding the text, finding manufacturers for the rewards, creating the original prints, finding the best publisher, and on, and on. Most of this stuff we are working on now, but once we get the finances from Amazon (after they take a cut and Kickstarter takes a cut) we will be in full production mode. It is going to be a very busy, but fun next few months and we will be sharing the process with you.
Updates
Our plan is to have an update every two weeks. We will be posting more on our blog and in our social media channels, but we will include links for those that want to read up on those areas.
Before I end this update, I just want to thank you all again for your support. It has been a very stressful and exciting journey with Kickstarter, but now that we have the funding we get to do what we do best, CREATE AN AWESOME COMIC BOOK!
