Exactly!  I think this lends more credibility to Kickstarter projects in general.  It affirms the bond between creator and backer and builds excitement. 

It is an ever-evolving process that every artist should be studying. 


The evolution on kickstarter is going to be very interesting to watch as it continues to develop.  I have a feeling that once people experience such positive campaigns where their dollars morph or evolve into something better than they expected it is going to shine a light on other projects that may not be offering that flexibility.

I would be really interested to know how much the creators take away from a project like this. Just for curiosity sake.

Kickstarter takes 5%, Amazon takes 5%. 

Then there's printing and shipping.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mark Andrew Smith shares the details after the fact.

I just added my $30.00 to the cause.  Feels good.

I don't know if they'll hit $80k, but they almost certainly will hit $75k and they've added an unlock at that level.  I hope it's a bound-in bookmark ribbon.  I love those things.

If they hit 75,000 all at the $30+ levels get a digital copy via comixology. Awesome.

I know I'm still very much a tactile reader when the Comixology news strikes me as completely underwhelming. Who cares? I'm buying this for the beauty of the physical work. I would much much much prefer the slipcase.

I'm in that boat.  Especially since we get a PDF file of the book anyway.

Agreed but its still great that there out there working the street corner to get those last minute bills. Its showing other Kisckstarter creators how to play the game.

I'm the opposite. I'm glad I have the option of not having to get a physical copy that ill never touch while being able to give a decent amount.

If you go to Comicbook Resources website, the banner ad is for Sullivan's Sluggers kickstarter site.  I am not saying that is wrong in anyway, but it leaves me with a weird feeling.

I would agree it was weird if the project weren't so far above the original goal.  At this point they are probably pretty profitable and if you think of advertising as a minor expense that will generate more money than it costs it seems like that is a justifiable project expense.

If they hadn't met the goal or were just above it and were using project funds to try to raise money, that would definitely be weird.
