I have Oh Holy Crap!, but does this follow on from that?
Yes! This is the next issue in the series.
O HOLY CRAP! compiled our first two issues, and SILENT, BUT DEADLY, NIGHT is issue three, plus bonus material. (The Kickstarter title Red Xmas 1-3 is really so new backers know they can still get the previous stuff.)
Our Print tier will get you the new material only, so there’s no need to fear paying for stuff twice.

Why are these comics so expensive? The books I get from Marvel and DC only cost $4.
Great question. As an indie, we don’t have the backing of multi-media conglomerates that can afford to take a loss on comic books as promotion for their movies and TV shows.
Think of us as “artisanal comics.” We do exclusive, limited edition comics in small print runs—which means our comics cost significantly more to print than a mass-produced book sold through comic shops.
Once we factor in shipping and packaging, we’re only making a few dollars per book. Which, by the way, go directly to our artists—Clay and Alexandre don’t make a dime.
The difference for you is that you’re a producer on the project, and we credit you in the book as such. You also get a certificate of authenticity signed by Frieda, some exclusive prints, and digital bonuses.
We also like to think Frieda puts a little extra love in our packages.

What's with the additional charge for international shipping? (Creator X) only charges ($XX).
We can’t say for certain, but our guess is Creator X is losing a lot of money on international postage. We already spent so much of our own money paying the artists, we can’t afford to do that.
You still get the same amount of free shipping our U.S. backers get, though. We packaged our book, weighed it, then knocked the cost of domestic shipping off the international price.
Our team is multi-national. We love our international backers as much as our U.S. crowd!

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
