2 months ago – Mon, Sep 16, 2024 at 02:55:46 PM

Happy Monday!

We are happy to announce that fulfillment for the Midnight Tiger Kickstarter is nearly complete with just a handful of rewards that still need to be shipped. The second wave of shipments were sent out last week when commissions and signed books were received by our fulfillment team. Your reward may already be at your door as we speak! Here’s a sneak peek of some of the sketch rewards that were commissioned for this campaign:

There are still a small handful of rewards that still need to go out and we are working with the shipping team to get those out the door and wrap this Kickstarter up. If there is an issue with your shipment or delivery, please shoot us a DM and we’ll do what we can to make sure you received your Midnight Tiger rewards.

Ray-Anthony Height and CEX cannot thank you all enough for supporting Midnight Tiger on Kickstarter. It means the world to us that Midnight Tiger is collected in this beautiful hardcover!

Graphic Samurai: The Art of Denys Cowan

Looking to support another creator on Kickstarter? Graphic Samurai: The Art of Denys Cowan is coming to Kickstarter! This is the first comprehensive celebration of the work of this groundbreaking comic book artist. Batman, The Question, Black Panther, and Deathlok are just a few of the iconic characters that he's put his stamp on while also creating his own beloved comic universe, Milestone, featuring Hardware, Icon & Rocket and the comic that inspired the hit television show, Static Shock. Inkpot Award-winning artist Denys Cowan walks you through his life and career in his own words and via hundreds of unforgettable illustrations in color and black and white.

Books en route to fulfillment warehouse! Last chance to update shipping information!
5 months ago – Tue, Jun 11, 2024 at 08:05:55 AM

Hello,

Ray-Anthony Height and CEX are happy to announce that the Midnight Tiger hardcovers and trade paperbacks have arrived to the US and are on their way to the fulfillment warehouse. Here's a pic of CEX Publisher Andy Schmidt with a copy of the trade paperback that arrived to the office last week!

As soon as we get confirmation that the hardcovers and trade paperbacks are delivered to the fulfillment warehouse, we will start sending out rewards as soon as possible. Until then, we are giving all physical backers one last chance to update their shipping information. If you need to update your address, please shoot us a DM through Kickstarter by Friday, June 14th @ 12 PM CST.

Rewards are scheduled to ship out in two waves. The first wave will ship out rewards that only require the hardcover or trade paperback. The second wave will ship out the remainder of rewards that also include single issue comics and/or commissions. We expect there to be a 3 to 4 week gap between these two waves due to a printing delay for these single issue comics that also need to be signed by Ray. 

Again, we cannot that you all enough for supporting Midnight Tiger and the first ever CEX Kickstarter. We are so excited to get these awesome rewards delivered to your door.

Ray-Anthony Height and the CEX team thank you so much for supporting Midnight Tiger on Kickstarter.

Midnight Tiger is off to press!
8 months ago – Tue, Apr 02, 2024 at 12:52:01 PM

Hi everyone,

We won't take too much of your time, but we are happy to announce that the printer has confirmed the Midnight Tiger hardcover and paperback editions are in production! 

Printing is expected to take between 4 to 5 weeks. Since we are printing abroad, we do not have a concrete delivery date for when the books will arrive at our warehouse. When the books are delivered, we will update everyone with the new reward fulfillment timeline.

Again, we cannot thank you all enough for supporting Ray-Anthony Height's Midnight Tiger and CEX's very first Kickstarter!

Digital Downloads Distribution and Book Printing Update!
8 months ago – Mon, Mar 25, 2024 at 12:02:27 PM

Hey everyone,

First of all, we want to thank everyone for backing Midnight Tiger on Kickstarter. We really appreciate all your support and making the very first CEX campaign a success. We don't want to take too much of your Monday so here's a short and sweet update on digital rewards, book production, and commissions!

Digital Reward Distribution

Some of you may have received an email from BackerKit with the download links to your digital rewards, but we noticed a possible bug on their end because the digital reward count doesn't match the number of email notifications that were sent. With that said, we will be DM'ing each pledge tier accordingly via Kickstarter DM with the Dropbox download link.

Book Production

Since the digital edition of the Midnight Tiger is now complete, final files have been sent to the printer. We are now just waiting on confirmation from the printer that it has gone to press. Once we know it's off to press, we will have a better grasp on the fulfillment timeline. If you need to update your shipping information for any reason, please shoot us a DM and we will update your survey manually on our end.

Commissions and Shipping

Midnight Tiger creator Ray-Anthony Height has been working diligently on commission rewards. He is aiming to ship out the first batch of commissions this week. As commissions are shipped, we will DM commission backers individually with the tracking information via Kickstarter. 

Ray-Anthony Height at Wondercon 2024

This weekend in Anaheim, California Ray-Anthony Height will be at Wondercon! Meet the Midnight Tiger creator at booth SP-58. Wondercon is March 29-31.

Again, thank you so much for supporting Midnight Tiger.
