Sorry if it sometimes seems as if things have been a little left in limbo, but in some ways we have been as well. That being said, do NOT thing for a moment that this project will be left by the wayside. IT WILL BE DELIVERED and then some.
To that end, the current information we are being given is to expect the books to arrive sometime in February of 2021. That being said what we are hearing and seeing is that just means when it will arrive in American ports. If the container that holds our books arrives and is selected for a "random" customs inspection then the current delays on this process have added several weeks as well to the delivery time. I put random in quotes, because it seems nearly every container coming in is being inspected these days.
Now, hopefully, this will NOT happen to us... and perhaps with the vaccines and a new administration, things will go smoother by then. But we want to set realistic expectations that it means the books will likely ship sometime in March/April.
Which leads us to the CALENDARS... Obviously we've seen these lengthy delays and since calendars are typically best delivered by AUGUST of the prior year... we took steps already. So instead of a 2021/2022 super-sized calendar, we have updated this to be a 2022/2023 Calendar. So rather than being LATE for this year, we'll just be really early! For collectors, this also forced us to drastically scale back on the number we were producing!
Lastly, we've completed the updates to our digital bonuses, and will be sending those out in the next day or two. So check your emails for the links to enjoy the bonus content.
Thank you all for your patience. We are working on newer, domestic, partnerships right now so that future Kickstarters will not suffer these types of lengthy delays. Please know that you are all very important to us, and we thank you all greatly!

Heya all,
Quick update. Believe us, we have NOT forgotten about this project and it IS coming. As you may have heard COVID threw us for a ringer and sent us scrambling across the board on ALL of our projects. It is in production fully, however, and we will begin sending out more info exactly here shortly.
Part of this has been looking into new supply chains, delivery mechanisms, etc. There's been a tremendous strain on our resources but we are getting through it all and thank you all for your continued patience.
This is a big reason why we have held off on issue 6 and other project kickstarters so we could give more accurate dates before anything further is done. You remain important to us and this project is in no way being left by the wayside.
To thank you for your patience we will be sending you all extra free digital content as well as a special surprise when they do ship. More on that soon!
So as we mentioned, we are hard at work on the books getting finalized and in our hands. Things got grossly slowed down across the board and we (same as you) are anxiously awaiting them being in our hands! We will continue to keep you updated.
If you're on our Kickstarter for White Widow #5/I Make Boys Cry #1 then you saw our update where we released a new higher quality digital format. The upside is, they look amazing... the downside is... the files are MASSIVE. So we are tinkering with them to try to make the settings manageable and we will have these shortly. Rest assured this is a priority and one we are working on.
As part of our expansion, we have a large number of NEW comics titles all set and intersecting the WHITE WIDOW series in what we call the ABSOLUTE UNIVERSE. You've already seen Duel Identity cross over with Issues #3 and #4... and that's just the beginning. So we are offering a new Kickstarter method of getting SUPER cheap (up to 70% OFF!) the entire line of collectibles in a Kickstarter:
This is for all of the Absolute Universe titles and includes some White Widow goodness. BUT TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!! There are some EXCLUSIVE METAL editions you can ONLY get in this campaign. Here they are:
It is FULLY FUNDED and it was picked as a Kickstarter Favorite (first time we've gotten that designation! YAY!) Here are some of the push goals we hope to give out. Pay attention to the $30k because it also includes a BONUS METAL for the top tier backers.
Of note... we have switched our RETAIL editions of White Widow and IMBC and ALL of our Absolute titles to a domestic printer. So these books are being printed RIGHT NOW.
