Comic Transcripts

Comic Fan: I feel like you see the SUPERMAN-AS-CHRIST-FIGURE metaphor a lot.
Comic Fan: But consider THIS:
Comic Fan: Jor-El and Lara were the only ones who could see that Krypton was doomed.

Comic Fan: So they constructed an ARK to save what they could – their son Kal-El.
Comic Fan: In this reading, Superman represents NOT Christ, but all the animals of Noah’s Ark!

Comic Fan: Think about it – it’s so OBVIOUS!
Comic Fan: He can fly – LIKE A BIRD. He’s strong – LIKE A GORILLA.

Comic Fan: He has super eyesight – LIKE A CAT. He has super breath – LIKE A WHALE.
Comic Fan: He has tough skin – LIKE A RHINO. He has super hearing – LIKE A BAT. He’s very fast – LIKE A CHEETAH.
Comic Fan: He has heat vision – LIKE, uh, one of those BLOOD-SPITTING IGUANAS

Comic Fan: He has X-ray vision – ALSO probably like those iguanas
Comic Fan: He can survive in space – JUST LIKE those iguanas, I’m pretty sure

[[The comic fan’s friend appears doubtful. The comic fan squints her eyes in suspicion.]]
Doubter: I… don’t think you know very much about iguanas.
Comic Fan: Or do I know TOO MUCH

My US inventory of games is now in-country, but still being staged at the fulfillment centers. It’s being distributed to regional warehouses, so the actual shipping to backers happens more efficiently. I hope the bulk of US shipping will start next week.

These are what the cartons (and games) look like!

I am also waiting on the bonus cards to be finished printing! I ended up needing many more of those than I had anticipated, so I decided to have the game factory print those too, for perfect matching with the base game cards.

Most people will be receiving two separate mailings: the game itself, and “anything else” (bonus cards and/or add-ons) which will be sent by me personally.

As of today, 86% of backers have completed their surveys so far! That’s pretty good, but it’s not everyone. I know YOU PERSONALLY have already completed YOURS though, so no worries!!

We have now moved OFF of Kickstarter and ONTO BackerKit for any new orders. You can bundle a game with basically anything else I sell on that there website, it’s pretty nuts!
