Hello, fellow Worker Drones!

It’s the final 24 hours for the MURDER DRONES: THE OFFICIAL GRAPHIC NOVEL campaign! At the time of this posting, we’re just over $1.5 MILLION in funding with more 17,000 backers! THE MURDER DRONES COMMUNITY HAS UNITED! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS A RECORD-SETTING CAMPAIGN THAT HAS EXCEEDED EVERYONE’S WILDEST EXPECTATIONS… AND (AS OF THIS WRITING) THE FOURTH HIGHEST GROSSING COMIC BOOK KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN OF ALL TIME!

We cannot wait for you all to get your hands on this book, the rest of the rewards, and the Stretch Goals. We’ll much to share with you in the weeks and months ahead, as we give you a glimpse behind the scenes into the production of MURDER DRONES: THE OFFICIAL GRAPHIC NOVEL! 

Speaking of Stretch Goals… Once the campaign closes, your name on Kickstarter will be noted and that name will be inserted into the Bonus Book. Just to note again, your profile name, as visible on Kickstarter, will be your name in the Bonus Book. Once again, here is a look at the cover and an example of the interior pages:

Again, Karl Jones may exist as a backer of this campaign, but the names on that interior page are for example only. We cannot be sure that Karl Jones is real and isn’t best friends with Samantha Saxon. If any worker drones have evidence of this real friendship or if these people are real, please let us know. There are some rules regarding your names in the Backerbook. And for those who don’t know how to change their profile name for Kickstarter, we have all the info you need below!

1. Backers will only be included if they pledge before the “live campaign” period ends for MURDER DRONES: THE OFFICIAL GRAPHIC NOVEL on Kickstarter, which is October 14th at 11:59 pm Eastern Time (ET).

2. Backers will be listed chronologically in the order that their pledges were received.

3. Your Backer Number will be listed, but no other information associated with your Pledge Tier.

4. The name listed will be reflective on whatever name is included in the Kickstarter information received with your pledge. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate individual name changes – all changes must be done through the Kickstarter platform proper. For more information on this process, follow the Kickstarter FAQ here.

5. If you want to change your name for the duration of the campaign and then change it back to something else later, that’s ok!

6. Oni reserves the right to NOT print a specific name for any reason whatsoever – so, naturally, there is no profanity or other forms of derogatory speech permitted. 

We’ll be downloading the names for the benefit of future Kickstarter historians first thing Wednesday morning, so you have until then to make any desired changes.

There you have it. Thank you for being a part of MURDER DRONES history in the making! And extra-special thanks to all of you all who have made this campaign a reality, even you Karl Jones!

If you have any questions about this campaign at any point, please email us at kickstarter@onipress.com, and we’ll get back to you within 24-72 hours. Our customer service hours are Monday-Friday from 9AM-5PM ET.

Let’s have a blast for these last few hours, and we’ll have more for you very soon!

Farewell (for now), 

Team Oni
