Hello friends!

Earlier today thanks to all of you we unlocked (and then blew past) the the SEVENTH Stretch Goal, unlocking the Kickstarter Exclusive Variant Wrap-Around Cover on the Hardcover Editions of the book!

A look at what we just got... and what's next!

That means every pledge level that includes the KS Exclusive HC now includes:

*phew*

All these plesge levels -- and more -- get you ALL the Stretch Goal bonuses and upgrades!

I appreciate you all so much, and your support -- and sharing of the campaign -- make this all possible!

If you'd like to continue to tell more people about the campaign -- so we can unlock even more Stretch Goals during these last two weeks (and change0 of the campaign, feel free to share the link www.AHeroForHope.com with others who you feel may (or will!) enjoy HOPE!

Thank you all so very much! My main motivation in running this campaign for 30 days was so we could unlock as many Stretch Goals as possible -- and I'm glad that's continuing to be the case! Let's keep it going, friends!

We set a new record, unlocked SIX Stretch Goals, and have added a new bundled pledge level!

TODAY WAS A GOOD -- AND RECORD-SETTING --  DAY!

Earlier today this campaign passed $10,000 in pledges in less than 24 hours, setting a new record for one of my creator-owned graphic novels, also unlocking the SIXTH Stretch Goal in the process! This would not have been possible without your enthusiastic support, friends... so THANK YOU. Truly. Here's everything every pledge level that includes at least the Kickstarter Exclusive Hardcover Edition of the book will now include so far:

And here's the first look at the absolutely amazing "Ultra" Round Three Stretch Goals!

Again, on behalf of myself, illustrator Sally Scott, letterer Dave Lentz, editor Drena Jo, and publisher Source Point Press... THANK YOU, friends. We all appreciate you so much, can't wait for you to read this book, and get you even more Stretch Goals bonuses and upgrades!

YOU ASKED -- WE LISTENED! A NEW PLEDGE LEVEL HAS BEEN ADDED!

Several of you have asked how to best get your hands on the whole HOPE series to date if you missed one of the 30ish "found" HOPE Volume 1 Kickstarter Exclusive Hardcover Editions that pretty much immediately got gobbled-up... and we now have you covered with the "I'M NEW HERE, TOO!" pledge level that will get you the HOPE Volume 1: "Mother" [Special Edition] TPB and the HOPE Volume 2: "Masks" Kickstarter Exclusive Hardcover at one bundled price!

If you previously only pledged for the HOPEv2 Kickstarter Exclusive Hardcover Edition and want to add HOPE Volume 1 to your pledge, you can now just go readjust your pledge to get this special bundled pledge level!

KEEP SPREADING THE WORD!

As I'm typing this update we're just shy of 200 backers, and that's in large part due to so many of you bringing new people into the fold by sharing this campaign with them! Please keep it up by sharing the link www.AHeroForHope.com with others who you think would enjoy this story -- especially now that we have the new "I'M NEW HERE, TOO!" pledge level that will allow them to get the whole series to date in one discounted pledge level!

Remember, the more people who join us, the more free Stretch Goal bonuses and upgrades we all get!

Thanks again for absolutely AMAZING record-breaking first day, everyone! We appreciate you all very much and I'll be in touch again soon!
