A six-issue original graphic novel about the continuing superhero adventures of Shakespeare, written in iambic pentameter.
The marathon send-a-thon is behind us, and you should receive tracking numbers if you haven't already.
I'm so excited for you to read the book the way it was always intended.
Thanks for everything, and if you need help with anything, just give me a shout.
Until next time, folks.

Hey folks, good news.
The book is here, and it is gorgeous. Is the title a little off-center? Yes. But that's ok!
I had to lug all 610 lbs up the stairs this morning, but now the big ship-off can begin. Very exciting stuff, folks.
Thanks again for all your patience during the campaign and production. I'm hoping to get everything shipped out in the next few weeks.
See ya shortly!

Hey everybody!
Eric here with a quick update.
The books are closer than ever, like Monday close, and the great ship-off shall commence shortly.
You all have been incredibly generous in your support and I cannot thank you enough. For their pledges, our highest backers paid for the creation of custom Skull Box, and as I am an honorable man, I'm following through with something of considerable quality. Without further ado, I present: Yorick!
This is a two-of-a-kind artisanal keepsake curio cabinet crafted by Scott Reynolds at Earthdrop Design. Inlays are based on designs from our fabulous interior artist Gabrielle M. Kari. The skull is from BoneClones, and meets high ethical standards (it’s made of polyurethane)
This thing is full of magickal energy (not haunted!) and will be a conversation piece for generations to come.
I tried taking good photos, but the fine detail of this thing has to be seen to be believed. But that’s only to be shared by the people who commissioned ‘em. Hell I should have sold this as an NFT (j/k, NFTs are garbage, don’t buy ‘em)
If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing, and I’m extremely proud of the work we’ve done.
So that's about it, I suppose. I'll let you know when the books are here and ready to go. DM me with any questions or changes if you can't access your backerkit.
xoxo

Hey everybody!
Happy Shakespeare's birthday/deathday week!
Word on the street is that the book is almost fully printed and should be here in the middle of next week! I'll send stuff out shortly after!
In the meantime, check out some of the merch we got back:
Very cool!
Anyway, please make sure your addresses are correct, and DM me if you can't access your Backerkit, etc., and I'll let you know when the books are here!
Finally, for our SKULL BOX-level backers, that's being fabricated as we speak and I'll have images for you shortly. It should all come together about the same time!
Love y'all!
Eric
Hi everybody!
Very exciting news, as books and almost all of the rest of the merch has been ordered, and shipping boxes have been purchased to send it all to you. Questions about shipping? Maybe want to pick up one extra something-or-another? Let me know! Also, If you no longer have access to your Backerkit email, please DM me, and I'll be able to update it on my end.
So shipping will commence as soon as... oh gosh, April 10? Pretty soon!
I'm uploading the final digital files to Backerkit as well, so if you want to download that from your portal, they'll be available within 48 hours.
Finally, we received two very generous pull quotes from friend of the book, Gail Simone!
"I might have to murder Eric and steal this idea, it's that good. On second thought, the book is too good as is. Okay, forget the murder. BUT GET THIS BOOK."
And
"Incredible idea, brilliantly written, gorgeously illustrated. This is why I am in love with comics."
Very kind words indeed! So yeah.
As for the official Behemoth release: It'll be in September or November, and we'll be going out to Diamond's Previews catalogs next month, pending scheduling. I'll let you know.
Thanks again for taking this journey with me. As I'm sure we're all used to hearing by now, there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
