$50 for the hardcover!?

I know its a "cool rare exclusive" thing and that making the issues free is awesome but daaaayum. What if i pledge $50 for the HC and it turns out the mini sucks? :/

Glad to hear about trading old stuff though :)

I'll be the first to admit I haven't read Artifacts and only by reading this article found out Jackie Estacado reshaped the TC universe. So... can someone tell me if if his reshaping has made the universe steampunk? Or is in 'steampunk influenced'?

Thanks!

Jackie made no large scale changes to the world, keeping everything as is. He only changed his own personal history - resurrecting Jenny and making Hope their biological daughter, and altering the other Artifacts to lessen their threat to him.

This isn't a mini-series. It's an ongoing series.

If you buy it and don't like it I'll let you swap the hardcover and the variants for $50 credit on our online store. In response to Dark Flux comment above.

When is the Kickstarter going live? I haven't seen it yet.

$50 for the hardcover and a copy of all 5 issues featuring the Kickstarter exclusive sketch covers.

Seems fairly reasonable to me (except if the mini sucks, which hopefully, it won't).

Oooh, a reprint of earlier Cyberforce trades and stuff? I wonder if this means Velocity's mini-series will be collected into a trade with her Pilot Season issue. I hope so.

It's slated for day after ComiCon. We're trying to get it live earlier but Kickstarter has an approval process. We're learning here =)

"We are also offering a lot of the older 'Cyber Force' books as trade paperbacks, some of which have never actually been reprinted since they were first released -- including some of Dave Finch's work."

YES YES YES!!

And the $50 pledge sounds pretty cheap with all that you get.
