On Their Way....

This is a message for the IGG QV9 backers! For those of you who ordered physical perks, they are on their way via USPS. For those of you who selected one or more of the PDF perks, you should have received an email from DriveThruComics.com. That email contains links to the vouchers you need to download your copy of the PDF you requested.

If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check your spam folder. If you still can't find the email from DriveThruComics, let us know and we'll get the links you need.

Signing and Shipping

Scott has finished autographing all the books, and we've started shipping them out. Your physical perks should show up in the next week or so (might be a bit longer for international shipments). We expect to send out vouchers (via email) to those who wanted the PDF e-books.

Once again, many thanks to our backers. Stand by for further updates.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Elevated shot of the mining assembly in operation – we can see rocks being ejected from the top of the Mass Driver. Bert is near the bore hole, monitoring the drilling, while Ernie is near the Mass Driver, making sure the dug-up regolith gets loaded and ejected properly.

Ernie: We've been at this for over 40 centimes. I'm bushed.

Panel 2
Ernie floats (via jet-pack) over to where Bert is standing.

Ernie: Let's knock off, get a good night's sleep, and get rich beyond our wildest dreams tomorrow.

Panel 3
The brothers jet-pack out over the rim of the crater they've been working in.
Bert: Suits me. But you know, my wildest dreams are very wild.

Panel 4
We see the brothers touching down near their shuttle landing site. Put the brothers in the background and the site in the foreground. We can tell it's the landing site because of the scorch-marks on the surface from their engine, and the four tie-down pitons in the ground, around the blast-mark, with their lines severed.
Bert: Son of a …
Ernie: … bitch.
