Voluntaryist Origins VI Sneak Peek Update 9

Hello Voluntaryist fans!

Hope you’re having a great start to May as we’re finally getting warmer out there.

The Voluntaryist remaster production continues to go smoothly.

We’re in the final quarter of completion with just needing to finish out the colors and letters on the Issue 2 remaster and the Origins I and II covers.

Here’s a sneak peek from that progress:


Just a friendly reminder as we’re moving into the last leg that if you have moved, or are planning to move to a new address by August, 2023, you should be sure to log in and update your address so that I have the most current information.

You can learn how to do that here:

https://support.indiegogo.com/hc/en-us/articles/212528078-How-do-I-update-my-shipping-address-

A couple of you have already updated, and I appreciate that you took the time to do so so that your package does not get lost. Thank you!

In other good news, my second nonfiction book, A Vision for a Libertarian Future, has been released on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/3VoG2R1


It’s a sequel to my first, The Definitive Guide to Libertarian Voluntaryism.


In this book, I bring a unified advocacy of incrementalism toward reducing the size, scope, and power of the state that I think everyone can get behind.

I would be honored if you checked it out and gave it a 5-star review – which I anticipate this book to be worthy of when you see how clear, concise, and cogent this advocacy is.

And if you haven’t read my first nonfiction book, be sure to pick that up on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/3LvcT22

so you’re ready to check out this new title!

I also want to remind you that we have our gun Range event and comedy show with Lou Perez coming up later this year on September 9th. Tickets and further details can be found at:

Voluntaryist Origins VI Sneak Peek Update 7

Hello Voluntaryist fans!

Hope you are doing well as we kick off the month of March.

We are marching right along schedule with the Voluntaryist remaster production!

The colors have just been wrapped on Origins I and we’ve already gotten in a few penciled pages for Origins II.

Here’s a little sneak peek from that progress:

I wanted to take a moment and thank Presearch for being a continued sponsor of Voluntaryist!

Presearch is a voluntaryist-owned search engine company worth checking out.

Not only do they provide a censorship-free search engine service that is privacy-oriented, but they have integrated ways for you to earn cryptocurrency rewards in the process!

They even do users a favor by listing one-click alternative search engine tabs so that, if for any reason you’re not satisfied with their results, you can immediately check the results in several other search engines.

How’s that for product confidence?

Give them a try today over at:

https://presearch.org/

Speaking of great things to check out, I will be headlining the Libertarian Party of Washington conference from March 24th-26th! Both Pho and I will be there as special guests with a special mixer taking place Friday night. It’s rare that we get over to that side of the country, so if you’re close enough to visit, consider coming on by to hang! We’d love to catch up with you.

Location, details, and tickets can be found on Eventbrite over at:

And if you’re too far away from Washington to make it, that’s okay.

We have ANOTHER event you should considering coming out to on the other coast!

Pho and I will be hosting comedian Lou Perez for another one of our fun gun range events.

There will be a comedy show followed by a range shoot and VIP lounge hangout.

It will be taking place Saturday, September 9th, 2023. Further details and tickets can be found at:

Hopefully, one way or another, we can see some of you either in Washington or in Florida!

Looking forward to updating you next month on the Voluntaryist comic progress!

In liberty,

P.S. Our Break the Great Reset music video campaign is NOW LIVE!

This is a hard-hitting, culture-shifting song against Klaus Schwab and the Great Reset tyrants!

If you would please, check it out over on Indiegogo here:

and see if there’s a way you’d like to join in support!

Voluntaryist Origins VI Sneak Peek Update 6

Hello Voluntaryist fans!

Hope you are doing well as we kick off the month of February.

It’s a relatively quiet time as we’re just moving along steadily with the Voluntaryist remasters. We’re about wrapped on the pencils for the Origins I remaster and are about to begin working on the pencils for Origins II.

The covers for Origins III, IV, and V have been making good progress with approvals having been completed on the layouts and pencils. Check out some of those cover progression sneak peeks here:

I figure now is a good a time as any to give you a heads-up on the other projects we’re working toward this year, especially, since we’ve fully wrapped up the ANTISTATE music video project.

Pho will be recording another anthem-styled song I wrote that’s tangential to the Mask Order and Disobey tracks. The title and subject is still under wraps, but we think you’re going to find the message inspiring and timely! So be sure to look out for when we release that new song, the album art, and its Indiegogo campaign for making our next music video. It’s going to be a project you’ll want to see succeed!

Pho and I also have exciting news to share as we will be some of the featured special guests at the Libertarian Party of Washington’s annual conference! While the details are not all settled yet, we can tell you that we will be at the conference’s activities from Friday, March 24th through Sunday, March 26th. The convention will be taking place at Sammamish Valley Grange in Woodinville, Washington. More details will eventually be released on the LPWA Website at: https://lpwa.org/ and we will also let you know more as everything is finalized in next month’s Voluntaryist update. It would be awesome to see you there, so if you’re close enough for a visit, come on out!

We will also be general attendees at PorcFest XX in New Hampshire. We’ve always wanted to visit this legendary liberty meetup, so we figured what better time to do it than for the big 20th anniversary! Tickets and details for that event can be found at https://porcfest.com/ if you’re thinking about going too.

And lastly, we’d like to thank our sponsor Agorist Nexus for their longtime Voluntaryist support! Agorist Nexus is a great resource for thinking outside the state as they showcase off-grid living tactics, cryptocurrency reviews and suggestions, and host an Agorist business listing directory.

You can check out their work and connect over at: https://agoristnexus.com/

Fun Agorist Nexus fact: We also recorded a funky promotional song for them a few years back. You can give it a listen on YouTube here:

and get a sense of what they’re all about.

Looking forward to updating you next month with more details on the Voluntaryist comic and on our other projects and excursions!

Stay awesome,

J ( :

P.S. If you made it this far, I have a bonus sneak peek for you. I am currently working on my AnCap Comix publishing and publicity site at: https://ancapcomix.com/

It’s going to be a site featuring liberty-oriented creators in the comic, graphic novel, and fictional novel space, as well as the umbrella identity for the Voluntaryist comic universe. (You may have already noticed this brand on the bottom right corners of the Voluntaryist Origins comic books.) In addition, I’m building a mentorship community to help you if you’re trying to create your own work of fiction in the comic book or printed novel genre. This is a soft-launch sneak peek, so be sure to check out all the pages on the Website and subscribe to the newsletter if you’d like to hear more when we formally launch!


Voluntaryist Origins VI Sneak Peek Update 5

Hello Voluntaryist fans!

It’s 2023! Happy New Year!

And what’s great about kicking off this new year is that I have received the print copies of Voluntaryist Origins VI!

Boy, do they look BEAUTIFUL!

Many of you have even already received your print copy if your perk was at the game card tier or lower.

Print comic perks at the game card level and below were mailed out on December 19th. If you have not received your print comic yet, please message me at mr.voluntary(at)gmail.com and I will see if your order was lost in the mail and replace it if so. (If you’re an international backer, it may still take another week or 2 with all the holiday busyness.)

As for the rest of the perks at the Art Tier print level and higher, those are still pending as we’re working through the Origins I and II remasters, the I-V cover remasters, and the final art print.

We are doing great schedule-wise as the promised delivery date is December, 2023. (That’s right – in case you forgot – getting the digital copy of Origins VI and the early print shipments are 1 FULL year ahead of promised delivery date. I hope you’re as impressed as I am!)

We are moving as fast as we can to deliver the rest of the perks well-ahead of the promised date, especially so, because we want to be able to launch the next Voluntaryist Arc campaign, SUIT SAGA, in 2023. And we won’t do that until ALL perks on this Origins VI campaign have been shipped.

To give you a sense of where we’re at, at the time of this writing we’ve:

  • Completed and have in our hands the Origins VI print comics.
  • Completed and have in our hands all perk accessories except the $75 tier art print.
  • Shipped out all perks at the Game Card tier and below.
  • Penciled 39 pages of the Origins I remaster.
  • Colored 32 pages of the Origins I remaster.
  • Lettered 32 pages of the Origins I remaster. (that’s me)
  • Got the Origins III, IV, and V comic remasters in production.


PRETTY impressive considering that we normally only have a single comic issue each year of about 24 pages. By summer 2023, we will have completed in 1 year what amounts to 4 comic book creations in total page counts. A record feat!

Stay tuned for when we do our next batch of perk fulfillments as we increment toward total project completion.

And speaking of completion, we would not have been able to achieve as much as we did if not for our ROCKSTAR executive advertisement sponsor, Victoria King.

Victoria has been an early believer in Voluntaryist and our other projects, and wanted to see the Origins Remaster and trade paperback come to fruition – so she went the extra mile on this campaign.

She wants you to check out her book Dear Younger Me, Victim To Victor: A Memoir, as it’s her life’s memoir about overcoming an abusive relationship. She wrote it to help inspire others and bring them healing.

If you’re looking for something unique to help challenge your thinking on relationships, pick up a copy of her book here: 

https://amzn.to/3Ihp9Dk

(affiliate)

in special thanks to her for helping this campaign reach goal in record time!

Thank you Victoria, and everyone else here, for your generous support and social media shoutouts! It makes me feel good to see you get your perks in the mail.

And on that note of feeling good–

My and The Pholosopher’s ANTISTATE music video is now live!

You can tune in to watch it on YouTube over at: https://youtu.be/iI9-2uUlXSA

This is one of the COOLEST music videos we’ve created, so be sure to check it out, subscribe, and share it around as we continue to shift the culture toward a true respect of Voluntaryist virtues!

Looking forward to sharing another Voluntaryist development with you next month!

Voluntaryist Origins VI Sneak Peek Update 4

Hello Voluntaryist fans!

Hope you are doing well as we kick off November!

We are working diligently on the Voluntaryist remasters and bonus art with everything going according to plan so far.

To show you a more in-depth look at what we’re doing with the remaster, I made a little video covering what we’re changing as we update Origins I and II to have the same art style as the rest of the series.

You can watch that sneak peek at:

https://youtu.be/mMBSsaoFAto

I think you’ll be impressed at how much better the sequential pages look with the new inks, colors, and lettering!

(A sneak peek of one of the Voluntaryist team art print layouts.)

And, speaking of improving, if you want to improve your portfolio diversification, I highly recommend checking out one of our Voluntaryist Origins VI sponsors, Taggart Trading!**

Taggart Trading deals in bullion, rare coins, and precious metals, which are especially important to consider holding on to in these inflationary times!

Taggart Trading’s owner Marc Tancer is not only a friend, but I can personally recommend his services as I have used them time and again over the years.

What’s unique about Marc is that he’s not just some large corporate chain where you’re dealing with a series of intermediaries. Marc is both the expert and the executive and offers you personalized service whether you’re looking to just break into precious metals for the first time or want to order large quantities.

Check out his Website over at: http://southfloridabullion.com/

and be sure to give him a call when you’re ready to set yourself up for success in 2023.

It’s a great time to investigate the benefits of precious metals in your portfolio!

Looking forward to updating you next month on the Voluntaryist comic progress.

Voluntaryist Origins VI is a success! Next steps.

Hello Voluntaryist fans!

We did it!

The 10th Anniversary Voluntaryist campaign is a complete success with both hitting goal and unlocking 3 stretch goals!

This means that all physical perk backers will be getting a bonus sticker for hitting goal and those at the print comic tier and above will also be getting the bonus character sheet, bonus game card, and Voluntaryist team art print on top.

To thank you for going above and beyond for this issue, I am going to go ahead and unlock the 4th stretch goal bonus and add that to your perk packages as my way of saying, Thank you!” for giving me this opportunity to take the Origins story and put it into a start-to-finish remastered read. So that will add on another Voluntaryist art print and a die cut sticker to your perk packages at the print comic tier and higher.

I could not have made it this far if it was not for your generous support and trust in building out the Voluntaryist universe.

That said, there are some important details for you to be aware of so that everything goes smoothly as I work toward creating the comics and fulfilling the perks.

I will be working incrementally on the comic sequentials, starting with issue VI. I have already completed over a dozen pencil pages for issue VI, but we still need to finish the rest of the issue and then lay the inks, colors, and letters.

As I am working incrementally, issue VI will be finished first before the Origins I and II remasters.

I plan on shipping out the issue VI perks as soon as that issue and the associated perks are ready.

This means that those who got the trade paperback or the I-VI single issue set will get their perks later when the remasters and new covers are complete.

I estimate that the issue VI perks could be finished by the end of 2022 to early 2023.

The trade paperback will likely take until closer to the estimated delivery date in late 2023 because it involves both remastering issues 1 and 2 and adding more pages to give extra lettering space.

I will be making updates at least once per month through the Indiegogo page and in parallel on the http://volcomic.com Website.

So, if you are ever wondering what’s going on with the development, please be sure to check with either site so you can get the latest progression update.

I will also give everyone a heads-up update message whenever I plan to do shipment.

Please be sure to update your address if you have moved or plan to move by the time shipping is to take place.

You can log into the Indiegogo dashboard for this campaign and update your address there for us. You can also e-mail me at mr.voluntary(at)gmail(dot)com if you have any trouble logging in with the email you used for your perk purchase.

You can read the Indiegogo FAQ for more helpful information:

https://support.indiegogo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002383767-Backer-FAQ

If you are an advertiser, please get in touch with me at least a week before the end of August, 2022, so that we can go over your ad to make sure it’s fit for print. I sent all advertisers an e-mail detailing the format with the comic book template attached for respective single and double-page ads. If you did not get this, check your spam box. If it’s not there, please message me at mr.voluntary(at)gmail(dot)com so that I can make sure you have the needed sizing specs and template for your ad.

For those who chose the “donation” option on Indiegogo (which really should be labelled “gift” because we’re not a charitable organization), you will not be getting a perk. You can tell that this was selected if you did not get a prompt for putting in your shipping information when you checked out (minus the digital early release which has no shipping). If you did this in error, but would like to get a perk, please let me know what tier you supported with by emailing me at mr.voluntary(at)gmail(dot)com and I will invoice you for the shipping to get your shipment address.

This is going to be a wild ride getting this project done, but I have never been more thankful and excited because this finished compendium is going to make Voluntaryist a serious competitor in the alt comics world with having the Origins story in a completed format I can readily showcase for convention tabling.

Cheers to us in helping be the change we want to see, especially with the direction mainstream comics have taken these past few years.

You are AWESOME!

Voluntaryist VI Second Stretch Goal NOW UNLOCKED!

Hello, Voluntarist fans!

I am happy to announce that the second stretch goal is officially UNLOCKED!

WOOOOOO!

Everyone at the print comic book tier and higher will now be receiving a new game card prototype in addition to the bonus character sheet from passing stretch goal No. 1 along with the bonus sticker for reaching goal.

So again, if you are currently supporting at a tier lower than the print comic, you’re definitely going to want to upgrade now to reap the bonus perks as you’ll be getting not one, not two, BUT THREE bonus items!

And, on top of that, we’re going to be making variant covers for Origins IV and V for a mainstream appeal.

As we still have about a week to go, there’s plenty of time to unlock stretch goal number 3 to add another bonus item to your perk packages.

Getting there is as simple as everyone sharing the comic campaign here:

https://igg.me/at/origins6


to their social media and letting others know what we’re doing. The more awareness, the more of a chance we have to gain support and reach a record-breaking accomplishment that will set the Voluntaryist series up as a serious competitor in the alternative comic book space.

We’re also doing our part to get the word out and have been promoting Voluntaryist on a number of shows and will be doing even more this upcoming week.

If you want to listen to some of our recent interviews, you can here:

On Hank Strange: https://utreon.com/v/-8D-ghp-Ru6

On Critical Blast: https://youtu.be/uhO_KDnqCD0

On Immortal Rising Comics: https://youtu.be/ar8w1Iq4-NA

On Freshly Based: https://youtu.be/eU2EcR2MOLU

Thank you again, everyone, for your generous support.

This 10th anniversary is groundbreaking for the series, and I genuinely believe this trade paperback compendium is going to put Voluntaryist on the map, especially in the ComicsGate community.

On that note, we will soon be announcing an official time for our campaign end livestream next week, but it will likely be Thursday, June 30th, around 9 p.m. Eastern on The Pholosopher YouTube channel.

So be sure to join in with us then as we celebrate with you and close in on that 3rd stretch goal!

Looking forward in liberty,

Voluntaryist Origins VI First Stretch Goal Unlocked!

Hello, Voluntaryist fans!

I have some exciting news! As of today, June 2nd, the first STRETCH GOAL has been UNLOCKED!

Wooohoo!

What this means is that ALL print comic tier and higher backers will now receive a BONUS character sheet art print in addition to all their other perk goodies and the bonus sticker for hitting goal.

On top of that, I will be creating a variant cover for Origins V.

Those who got the 1-6 perk set will receive an Origins V issue with the new cover!

If you are still sitting on the fence with a lower perk tier, now’s the time to upgrade to the print copy because you are guaranteed BOTH the bonus sticker AND the bonus character art sheet!

There’s still plenty of time for us to move on up too and unlock the other listed stretch goals, so be sure to share the campaign to your social media so that more goodies can be released as we go further in the campaign.

On a separate note, both Pho and I will be going on more interviews and hosting more streams to promote the comic series coming up.

One of the interviews on the #comicsgate track will be with the Critical Blast Podcast on Wednesday, June 8th, at 8 p.m. Eastern.

https://www.youtube.com/c/Criticalblast/videos

We will be streaming live and sharing our story about how the Voluntaryist universe came to life and what we’ve been working on over the years.

If you’re free, pop on in and say “Hi!” during the stream so we can help pump up the visibility metrics and get the word out.

Thank you so much again, everyone, for your generous time and help in getting Voluntaryist to this record-breaking momentum!

I think you’re going to LOVE all the work we’re putting into it with the new art and remastering.

Looking forward to sharing the next update with you soon!

My first-ever non-fiction book: The Definitive Guide to Libertarian Voluntaryism

Hello, Voluntaryist fans!

While you may have come to know me for my fictional Voluntaryist comic book story, I finally decided to make my first non-fiction book in line with the Voluntaryist universe.

It’s the culmination of 15 years of activism and study within the libertarian-Voluntaryist spectrum.

It’s NOT a history book.

It’s NOT a summary of other’s works.

It’s not a bunch of pull-quotes from past thinkers.

This is my unifying the fields of property rights and consent ethics theories into a universal philosophy that anyone can readily relate to and defend.

By the nature of the work, it will be challenging in many ways because it introduces a new basis by which to framework WHY one would want to uphold property rights and consent ethics.

You’ll be surprised, intrigued, and provoked to deeper investigation in the process.

But, unlike many other libertarian works, I’ve distilled the concepts into the minimum description needed to get people to understand the basics and their applications.

That makes it accessible for anyone, whether you’re a seasoned Misesian or are new to Voluntaryist thought.

No matter what, I hope you enjoy the ride and that it at least sharpens your thinking in the process.

Cheers to your kind support, from helping me refine my thoughts in conversation, to getting your own edition for the liberty bookshelf!

In liberty,

We will not only be completing the Origins arc with issue VI, but also hope to remake Origins I and II to bring the series into conformity with the later artist’s designs, and, put ALL the Voluntaryist Origins comics into a single trade paperback compendium.

It will be an essential collectible for any Voluntaryist fan.
Thank you so much for believing in me and the Voluntaryist comic book series. I could not have accomplished this feat without your generous support over the years.

Let’s make 2022 the best year for liberty yet!

With eternal gratitude,

Voluntaryist Origins V Print Comics Have Arrived – Next Steps

Hello, Voluntaryist fans!

I have some great news!

The Origins V comic came in a bit earlier than expected with the delays over at the printer, as you can see here:

They are out, in my hands, and looking AMAZING!

I will be working on fulfillment over the next month.

I am still waiting on one final stretch goal art piece to be finished so I can add it to your perk packages, but once that is in, they should be out to you shortly.

If all goes well, Christmas should come early for Voluntaryist Origins V backers!

If you are moving from your listed address by December, please do update your address with me through the Indiegogo dashboard or by contacting me with your perk information from Indiegogo at mr.voluntary(at)gmail.com

I want to make sure everyone gets what they ordered!

Thank you again as always for your generous support.

Projected Shipping Delay for Origins V Due To Printer

Hello Voluntaryist fans!

Hope you are doing well.

I wanted to give you an early heads-up that there is a delay from the printer (Ka-Blam). 

See:

Link to the post: https://www.facebook.com/KaBlamDigitalPrinting/…

I had placed my order for Origins V on September 30th:

And was crossing my fingers that all of the government malfeaseance wouldn’t have an impact…

But sadly (and predictably), all of the state tyranny has had a cumulative effect on supply chains and shipments.

That said, I have worked with Ka-Blam for 10 years because they are one of the largest comic printers in the world and are reliable for getting the final product to completion.

So I’m not worried at all about the comic’s eventual printing…just sad that it will take a little longer than expected.

I will keep you updated on when they finally get to my order and let you know when I think the comics will be out to you by.

If will you end up moving by the time of the projected shipment, please do reach out to me through the Indiegogo dashboard and let me know your updated address, or email me at mr.voluntary(at)gmail(dot)com with your order information and I will make sure your package goes to your updated address.

Thanks again for your generous support!

Looking forward,

International backers should see theirs within 3 weeks and U.S. backers should see theirs within a week.

If you do not receive your perk within those respective time frames, please contact us through the Indiegogo dashboard so we can check your tracking number to see if you package was lost and replace it if it was.

We really appreciate seeing when backers get their perks, so feel free to post a picture of your perks to your social media when they arrive, whether on Facebook, Minds, MeWe, Twitter, Flote, Steemit, YouTube, or otherwise, and TAG/@ US, so we can celebrate with you!  ( :

Now that the campaign is fully wrapped, you may be wondering when the Origins V campaign will launch.

The good news is that it will launch sooner this year, as we’re planning for a campaign launch this May, 2021! So please be sure to check back on the Voluntaryist website at http://volcomic.com to find out when the campaign has officially opened for support!

In the meantime, if you have not already, please be sure to check out Pho’s latest patches over at http://treesofliberty.org and our in-person event coming up soon this April 3rd, with details and tickets over at http://phoevents.com

We’re looking forward to seeing you and staying in touch as we host more in-person events throughout the year – so come on out and say “Hi!”

Thank you again for helping bring the principles of liberty to the comic book world.

Let’s do it again in 2021 with Voluntaryist Origins V soon!

In liberty,

-Jack & Pho

Sneak Peek 4 + Special Announcements

Hello, Voluntaryist fans!Production on the comic is moving along smoothly and within schedule.

I am finishing up the last page’s pencils, then I have a batch of pages going in for inks and colors, to be followed by my lettering. I believe the comic should be wrapped within 2 months max, and then it will go to print.

I have all the additional special perks already produced and readied for shipment.

With that in mind – a quick reminder to advertisers again – please make sure you have your finished advertisement pages to me by the end of February.

On that note – here is a another sneak peek of the comic:

I can wiggle a little more time if absolutely needed past that, but I would like to get the comic wrapped and out by the end of Spring at the latest so that we can move on to planning for the next issue. On that note – here is a another sneak peek of the comic:

ALSO! Pho and I have released a new product line, starting with some COOL AR and AK patches and a No Step On Snek Chibi keychain.

The campaign ends this weekend, so if you’d like to get some extra AWESOME merch, hop on in here: https://igg.me/at/phomarket

Thank you so much again for your generous support!

Looking forward to updating you soon on the next Voluntaryist comic development.

Sneak Peek 2 and Reminder for Advertisers

Hello, Voluntaryist fans!

I hope you’re having an AMAZING start to the new year.

I have another sneak peek for you from the Origins IV comic:

20 pages have been pencilled so far and about half have been colored. The first art print design is complete and another is being worked on.

I also want to remind those who purchased an advertisement perk to send your files over to me by the end of this month (January, 2021).

If you need more time to finish your ad – no worries!

We have plenty of extra time if needed.

Please just let me know if you need more time so I can give you notice of when the print process is nearing for final cutoff.

Thank you again everyone for your generous support!

Looking forward to updating you on the next Voluntaryist Origins IV development.

Sneak Peek 1 and First Shipment Update

Hello Voluntaryist fans!

Hope you are doing well as we approach the new year!

I just shipped out the stickers-only perks today, so those who only got a sticker perk should see their perk within the next week (maybe a little more with Christmas traffic).

I also have a sneak peek for you of the comic WIP. Check it out below:

Looking forward to updating you with another sneak peek in the near future as the comic progresses!

Thank you again for your generous support,

Voluntaryist Origins IV IS A SUCCESS! Next steps…

Hello, Voluntaryist fans!

The Voluntaryist Origins IV comic campaign closed at an AMAZING $5,755! We unlocked the first stretch goal, so all backers at the print comic level and higher will be receiving an extra special Voluntaryist team art print.

ALSO! To thank you for going above-and-beyond, I will be adding 4 more pages to the promised page count, making the issue a full-length 24 pages. It will be awesome!

As for next steps, Indiegogo should release the funds to me within two weeks, if not sooner. I will then begin working on fulfilling perks as elements come to completion.

I had already been working on the comic, so I should get the comic out to you much sooner than anticipated, hopefully Spring 2021.

Which is a reminder to those who purchased advertisements – please have your completed advertisement content to me by or before February 1st, 2021. I will be contacting you to follow up on the advertisement layouts and helping you with any questions you may have.

Everyone otherwise please be sure to check and make sure you entered your information properly.Sometimes, people accidentally select “donation” instead of “perk.” If you did this, please let me know and I will note that you wanted the perk for the tier you supported at. If you did intentionally support without selecting a perk, that’s great and I appreciate the kind gesture!

If you end up moving or know you will move by March, 2021, please be sure to update your mailing information in the campaign dashboard. I will also send out an update reminder before mailing out the final perks to remind people to update their address if needed.

If you have any other questions, comments, or concerns, please message me through the Indiegogo dashboard and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thank you so much again, everyone, for making Voluntaryist Origins IV a reality and helping to bring to life one of the coolest liberty-themed comic series in print!

With gratitude,
