Final Stretch Goal Extension Details!
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Mar 15, 2023 at 09:41:31 AM

Hello, Beltalowda and Inyalowda!

As promised, we’re back this week with details on how we are going to give fans additional time to unlock our final stellar Stretch Goal! As a reminder, the final Stretch Goal unlocks a limited edition print featuring the stunning THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH #1 art by Christian Ward, signed by three of the core members of THE EXPANSE streaming series – Steven Strait, Dominique Tipper, and Wes Chatham, for every physical pre-order of $100 or more for free. Additionally, Steven, Dominique, and Wes would also participate in a virtual “cast reading” of THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH later this year.

We’ve set up and launched our Pre-Order Store on BackerKit, where any THE EXPANSE fans can get in on the excitement. From now until 10am PST on Monday, March 20th, any and all additional pre-orders will count toward our total for the purposes of unlocking the final Stretch Goal. If we reach $1,450,000 by the deadline, we will unlock the final Stretch Goal!

Additionally, any fan who places a pre-order through BackerKit by March 20th at 10am PST will receive all of the unlocked Stretch Goals as if they had pre-ordered through the initial campaign – making this the perfect time to let any fellow fans of THE EXPANSE know they still have a chance to get in on the campaign!

You can find a countdown clock on our BackerKit Pre-Order Store and the total pre-order amount will continue to update in real time, so we can all track how close we are to reaching our goal.

If you’ve already pre-ordered through Kickstarter – thank you, you’ve done your part! Your pre-ordered items along with any unlocked Stretch Goals you are eligible for, will be visible when Surveys go out later this month. You will be able to order additional add-on items during the Survey, and we recommend waiting to order additional items until you receive your Survey to  to ensure your order is combined We will do our best to combine any separate orders placed during this pre-order period with your original order, but cannot guarantee they will be combined. Until then, let your fellow fans of THE EXPANSE know the BackerKit Pre-Order Store is open and they can still help us reach our final Stretch Goal!

If you have any questions concerning your pre-order, please reach out to [email protected] for the fastest response.

Thank You… And Final Stretch Goal News!
almost 2 years ago – Fri, Mar 10, 2023 at 03:32:52 PM

Hello, Beltalowda and Inyalowda!

Taki taki! What an absolutely mind-blowing journey this BOOM! Deluxe Pre-Order campaign for THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH has been! In the final day alone we surged forward with an additional $130,000 in pre-orders from nearly 1,200 fans for a total $1,405,859 in pre-orders from 12,196 cosmic customers.

Collectively THE EXPANSE fandom achieved so many milestones and broke numerous records with this campaign, and we are thrilled to share those achievements with all of you now:

  • The campaign broke the record for BOOM! Studios’ biggest Kickstarter opening day of all time, beating out the previous record held by Keanu Reeves’ BRZRKR in 2021.
     
  • The campaign shattered Kickstarter’s record for a week one performance in the comic book project category.
     
  • The campaign finished as Kickstarter’s #1 Most Funded and #1 Most Backed campaign in the Comic Books Sub Category.
     
  • This record breaking campaign is BOOM! Studios’ second biggest Kickstarter campaign of all time and the #2 Most Funded campaign for the All Comics Category behind Keanu Reeves’ BRZRKR.
     
  • Between THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH and BRZRKR, BOOM! Studios hold the two most funded comic campaigns on any crowdfunding platform of all time.
     
  • As well as the two most funded comic (subcategory) campaigns on Kickstarter thanks to THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH and MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS.
     

We were so close to reaching our final Stretch Goal of $1,450,000 in pre-orders. The final Stretch Goal would have unlocked a limited edition print featuring the stunning THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH #1 art by Christian Ward, signed by three of the core members of THE EXPANSE streaming series – Steven Strait, Dominique Tipper, and Wes Chatham, to every physical pre-order of $100 or more for free. Additionally, Steven, Dominique, and Wes would also participate in a virtual “cast reading” of THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH later this year.

It was inspiring to see the passion of THE EXPANSE fans in real time in the final hours of the campaign and we’ve read and heard your desire to unlock the final Stretch Goal during a post-campaign period. So much so, that we’ve decided we will extend the time to meet the final Stretch Goal in our pledge manager, Backerkit!

We are working on setting up our pre-order store on BackerKit as we speak and will share details early next week. Until then sit tight and enjoy this brand new video with Daniel Abraham sharing what he’s most excited for you to experience in THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH:

And lastly, we’re excited to confirm that both Star Maps will ship rolled in Wave 3 to ensure they arrive in terrific shape for your collections or framing!

If you have any questions concerning your pre-order, please reach out to [email protected] for the fastest response. As a reminder, our customer service team will be offline over the weekend, but we’ll be back on Monday morning to answer any questions you may have.

Final Hours! Reveals! New Stretch Goal! New Add-On!
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Mar 08, 2023 at 02:22:55 PM

Hello, Beltalowda and Inyalowda!

Xídawang da wowt da diye! Late yesterday, we passed through the Auberon gate thanks to over 11,000 THE EXPANSE fans. With less than 24 hours to go in our record-breaking BOOM! Deluxe Pre-Order campaign, you’ve pre-ordered over $1,275,000 in comics, graphic novels, and fantastic merchandise making THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH the #2 comic book campaign in Kickstarter history!

But like Manéo Jung-Espinoza can we defy expectations and slingshot into the #1 spot before this campaign concludes tomorrow morning at 8am PST?

To motivate all THE EXPANSE fans who are following this campaign but haven’t pre-ordered yet (yes, you!), as well as rewarding fans who have already jumped in, we’re adding an absolutely galactic final Stretch Goal to send us through the Bara Gaon gate! We are thrilled to announce that three of the core members of THE EXPANSE streaming series – Steven Strait, Dominique Tipper, and Wes Chatham – are joining our campaign! If we reach $1,450,000 in pre-orders, we will add a limited edition print featuring the stunning THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH #1 art by Christian Ward, signed by all three cast members,  to every physical pre-order of $100 or more for free. Additionally, Steven, Dominique, and Wes will also participate in a virtual “cast reading” of THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH later this year, which will be shared with every pre-order customer as a special “thank you” for making this campaign such a success!

But that’s not all! Based on your feedback, we are also making the set of three Faction embroidered patches available as an add-on item for $15 and the stylish Rocinante-branded knitted beanie available as an add-on item for $20! And remember, add-on items count toward your physical pre-order total to qualify for Stretch Goals including our final goal!

To celebrate the last 24 hours of the campaign and our final Stretch Goal, we’re revealing a final character design by THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH artist Rubine – the unflappable, relentlessly fierce Camina Drummer (iconically portrayed by Cara Gee in the TV series).

And finally, we wanted to share some final thoughts from THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH writer Andy Diggle about what’s most exciting for him in writing this continuation of the incredible saga of THE EXPANSE. We hope it gets you even more excited for the story that he, Rubine, and the rest of the BOOM! Studios team are going to tell!

Daniel Abraham On Entrusting Someone Else With THE EXPANSE
almost 2 years ago – Fri, Mar 03, 2023 at 12:00:08 PM

Hello, Beltalowda and Inyalowda!

It’s our final Friday before our amazing trip through the Sol System and beyond with all you amazing THE EXPANSE fans comes to an end! With less than a week to go, there are nearly 9,800 fans supporting THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH with $1,135,000 in pre-orders.

As a reminder when we rocket through the Auberon gate at $1,250,000, we will add a new 8-Bit navigational screen style Star Map designed by THE EXPANSE VFX Supervisor Sumeet Vats for free to all physical pre-orders of $100 or more. We will also make the new Star Map available as an add-on item for $25. We are working with our fulfillment partners to determine whether it will be best to ship these Star Maps folded or rolled. We will take into account and balance both cost and how the final product is presented.

Before we head into the weekend, we’re excited to share a new video of THE EXPANSE co-creator Daniel Abraham! We asked Daniel how he felt about entrusting someone else to continue the epic story of THE EXPANSE and he had a terrific answer. Let us know what you think in the comments below.

We’ll be back on Monday with more updates and reveals for the final few days of this record-breaking, stellar campaign!

First Collection Cover Revealed + New Add-Ons & Updated Stretch Goal!
almost 2 years ago – Thu, Mar 02, 2023 at 02:30:23 PM

Hello, Beltalowda and Inyalowda!

As we head into the final week of this record-breaking BOOM! Deluxe Pre-Order campaign for THE EXPANSE, we are going to be sharing late breaking announcements with you more regularly. We hope you will be as excited by them as we are to share them!

First, we’ve been listening to your feedback regarding our latest stellar Stretch Goal for $1,250,000 where we will add a new 8-Bit navigational screen style Star Map designed by THE EXPANSE VFX Supervisor Sumeet Vats as an add-on on our way through the Auberon gate. Based on your feedback, we’ve decided to upgrade this Stretch Goal by making the new Star Map free for any physical pre-order of $100 or more! It will still be available as an add-on item for $25 for anyone who would prefer to add it to their order separately.

Secondly, we’re excited to unveil three new add-on items to the campaign! Given the popularity of the Rocinante and Laconia challenge coins, we are adding challenge coins for the United Nations, the Martian Congressional Republic Navy, and the Transport Union which will be available as Add-On Items for $15 each. But for THE EXPANSE super fans who want a complete set, we’re also offering a boxed set for $50, which will include the three new coins in a collectible box. The box will include two empty spots to hold the Rocinante and Laconia coins and will be perfectly suited to display your complete challenge coin collection, ensuring you will be the envy of all your fellow fans!

Lastly, we are absolutely thrilled to reveal for the first time, the beautiful cover by illustrator Miguel Mercado that will grace every BOOM! Deluxe Pre-Order exclusive hardcover edition of THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH Volume 1! Miguel took his inspiration from the amazing original THE EXPANSE novel covers by Daniel Docui so that these hardcover editions of THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH can sit proudly on your shelf next to the novels!

We can’t wait to see the next two covers come in from Miguel and will share with you first as they arrive. Stay tuned for the reveal of the first comic book cover by Jamie McKelvie!

Thanks to your enthusiasm we are already the third most successful comic book campaign on Kickstarter! Can we set a new record with THE EXPANSE making number one comic book campaign in Kickstarter history? To mowsh showxa fo sif: keting Mila deng fo du?

We have more exciting reveals and content, including a new behind-the-scenes video, planned for tomorrow so stay tuned! If you have any questions concerning your pre-order, please reach out to [email protected] for the fastest response.
