Daymakers!
We did it, fellas! We hit our first stretch goal to add the 8-page back up story by me and Rich Stahnke, featuring everyone's favorite primate, The Custodian. Thanks to those of you that added some new items to your bundles and to our new backers for pushing us past the mark. Somewhere in North Carolina, Rich is doing the happy dance.
Not only that but we're almost halfway to unlocking our next stretch goal and adding two new handbook-style entries for The Machine and The Custodian to the book. We had a great time creating the entries for Daybreak and Doc Matter for issue #3. If you haven't seen them yet...
We gotta make those happen for these two. They're pretty jealous not to be handbooked yet.
Backers of our previous campaigns have indicated that adding additional content is (are?) the stretch goals they most enjoy. We'd love to complete the set of handbook entries for you guys, which would bring the total page count to #4 to 60 pages. Practically a graphic novel in and of itself; I've seen smaller books call themselves that.
So if you haven't yet, please check out the ever-growing add on page. I believe we're adding a 30-minute mud wrestling match with Tom Nguyen next. Tom likes to walk around in a wrestling singlet so we figured we'll just roll with it.
And of course, sharing the campaign is always a huge help as we power forward. Please use the link bit.ly/daybreak4 because somehow, people smarter than me can track the clicks on that bad boy.
Thanks, guys. Lots of fun yet to be had and not just in a mud wrestling pit!

Happy Monday, Daymakers!
Week 2 of the campaign officially kicks off tomorrow morning. We're very close to reaching our first stretch goal, which will enable the team to increase the page count and add an 8-page back up story by Keith Champagne and Rich Stahnke to Daybreak! #4. I read the story this morning (it's all done) and I promise, it's a fun one!
We wanted to let you know about some new items that have been added to the campaign to kick off week 2 and also push us past the initial stretch goal.
The CBCS slabbed/graded/signed 9.8 copy of Daybreak! #1 was snapped up pretty quickly so we've added our other slabbed/graded/signed book, a 9.6 copy of #1, to the page this morning. This is the last slabbed copy in our inventory so if you have a friend that enjoys this flavored cup of tea, by all means let them know! We appreciate any word-of-mouth you guys can give us.
We've also listed two add-ons to the campaign. The first is a printed (bootleg) copy of The Coward Joe Cleveland, a "lost" Superman story by Keith and Rick Leonardi. This add-on was first offered in New Pain's previous Two-In-One campaign and we thought those of you that missed it then might be interested in reading it now. The book is printed in "raw" pencils/lettered form with a full color cover. Quantities are VERY low and we have to limit them to one copy per backer.
We've also listed the complete, printed script for JOKER: YEAR ONE by Champagne, with illustrations and cover by Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy. This is another project that was lost in the shuffle at its publishing company and at 120 pages, is well worth a read. JOKER: YEAR ONE was a popular add-on for the Daybreak! #1-3 campaign; if you're a new backer or missed it last time, we have a limited batch of 10 copies available again.
And let's not forget the exclusive metallic cover copies of Daybreak! #1, signed and numbered by Keith, in the add-ons section. There are only 10 of these in existence and they sure are shiny.
If you're interested in any of these very cool add-ons, the extra support gets us closer to adding more content to Daybreak! #4. Sharing out the campaign also gets us closer to the goal post and as always, the extra help is immensely appreciated.
Before I let you go today, New Pain wanted to direct your attention to our friend Michael Katz's new project, HORROR SHOW , which is currently funding on Kickstarter.
HORROW SHOW is a 48-page graphic novel with stunning art by Green Lantern legend DARRYL BANKS. The book is fully produced and the campaign is raising money for printing costs. The project is almost 50% funded right now.
Michael puts out great books and always fulfills on time. This one may just be his best book yet! We hope you'll check it out!
More news coming soon!
