If you'd like to check our the latest New Pain shenanigans, we've got a lot of great original art rewards: pin-ups, cover art, pre-drawn head sketches and other cool stuff like a 16-month calendar and naked pictures of Tom Nguyen (disclaimer: this may not be true).

Way belated update

Daybreakers!
I owe you all an apology for sending this update so late in the week (and late in the day). It's been a crazy, stressful week of too many assignments, too little hours, and a Kickstarter campaign that I've been working on outside of the New Pain Umbrella that launched this week (four new JM DeMatteis comics, The DEMULTIVERSE, which you can check out right HERE if you're so inclined) have got me juggling like a circus clown.
BUT...
I do want to make sure everyone officially knows that all packages were mailed out from the printer last week and most (maybe not our international backers yet), if not all of you should have received them by now. This campaign took a little longer to fulfill and I can't quite figure out why but we'll try to make sure the next one doesn't drift a couple of weeks late again.
SPEAKING OF...
The next New Pain campaign is tentatively slated to launch on November 7th (with a back up date of the 14th) and will involve this lovely, troubled lady...
She's a maniac, maniac...
More details coming soon. Please let us know, either here or at [email protected], if you need any help with any of your Daybreak packages.
Thanks as always,
Keith Champagne
Fulfilling!

Daymakers!
Apologies for the radio silence; I've been overwhelmed with deadlines the last couple of weeks.
I've asked the printer several times for photos of the various editions of Daybreak! #2 all printed up in their shiny glory to share with you guys. So far, not so good. I am told, however, that packages are being sent out this week; New Pain supplied the fulfillment house with the backer list on Monday so as far as I know (and I know pretty far), books/t-shirts/mugs/prints etc are all being posted. If I learn any differently, I'll let you know. This campaign continues to stress me the eff out from start to finish! I'll be very glad when everyone has their books.
WHILE I'VE GOT YOUR EAR...
If you're interesting in helping another campaign reach the finish line, my pal Jack Holder's campaign for Legends Of The Realm: Set In Stone is counting down its final 18 hours and is currently 90% funded. You can check out the campaign HERE and if you like what you see, you know what to do!
Hope everyone is doing well out there. I'll keep you posted on any more Daybreak! #2 news and will be letting you know New Pain's plans for their next project soon.
Thanks for all your support!

Need PROOF?!

Hey there, Daymakers!
I'm in the middle of an insanely busy day before I head to Manchester, New Hampshire tomorrow morning for Granite State Comicon BUT...
The printer proofs of Daybreak! #2 and the new printing of Daybreak! #1 arrived a few minutes ago and I needed to share the good news. The books look really sharp this time around. Stefan puts a lot of work into the art, especially the colors, and the art really pops this time around.
The proof is in the printing
Unfortunately, there's a tiny bit of bad news.
We were scheduled to do a full print run next week and begin fulfillment but there was a slight miscommunication with the printing house. I was supposed to be sent the bookplates to sign/number for the print set but instead, they sent me the print sets, not the bookplates. That's getting rectified now and shouldn't set the process back more than a few days but just wanted you all to know.
Can't wait to get these books into your hands. Thanks for your support!
Your pal,
Keith Champagne

Hey Daymakers, hope everyone his having a good week!
New Pain needs to finalize the numbers for the print run of Daybreak! #2 and get that info to the printer. If you haven't filled out your survey yet, it would be really helpful if you could take a minute and do so. 84% of you have already returned your surveys, thanks for that. For the remaining 16%, step to it, fellas!
Excited to get these books/t-shirts/mugs/prints/print sets etc into your hands!
