Happy Wednesday!
CEX and Midnight Tiger creator Ray-Anthony Height hope you all had a great start to the new year and finally in a place where you are no longer mistakenly dating things as "2023".
Before we jump into the update, we want to say thank you again for supporting Midnight Tiger on Kickstarter and helping the beautiful hardcover come to life. We really appreciate it and CEX is looking to do more Kickstarters in 2024!
Midnight Tiger #3: As we mentioned in our last update in December, colors and letters for issue 3 were in the works. These are still being wrapped up and will be finalized soon.
Book Buildin': While the pages for issue 3 are near completion, CEX is working on production for the hardcover, floppies, and paperback rewards to go to press. Digital editions for these rewards will be distributed through BackerKit once everything is at the printer and approved for press!
Commission Rewards: Ray is chipping away at the commission list for Kickstarter all while the CEX team is working to get all book rewards ready for the printer.
With all that said, addresses on BackerKit are still unlocked. If any backer needs to update their shipping information, you'll be able to make any changes just by logging into your BackerKit profile. Once we have a set print date, we'll lock down addresses and be able to confirm a reward shipping date.
Again, thank you so much for supporting Midnight Tiger and CEX on Kickstarter!

Hey everyone,
First of all, we want to thank everyone again for supporting Midnight Tiger on Kickstarter and making this awesome hardcover happen.
In our last update, we were hoping to have final files done and uploaded to the printer before the holidays. The last batch of pages for issue 3 are being lettered. With that said, the production schedule has had to pivot so Midnight Tiger: Origins will be going to press in 2024. PDF rewards will be sent to backers once all files are uploaded to the printer.
Surveys will remain unlocked on BackerKit. If you need to update your shipping information, you'll be able to do so on your end. When we get closer to press, we'll have a more concrete idea of when we will be locking down BackerKit surveys.
Again, thank you so much for supporting Midnight Tiger, Ray-Anthony Height, and CEX on Kickstarter. We really appreciate it.
Have a safe and Happy Holiday!

Happy Saturday!
Just a few updates on our end. Midnight Tiger creator Ray-Anthony Height and the CEX team are working on the final touches to the hardcover before we go to press. We expect to be in the queue on the printer's schedule before Christmas. Digital rewards will be distributed once final press files are sent to the printer. With that said, it looks more likely that we will be fulfilling this Kickstarter in March 2024.
In the meantime, shipping information on BackerKit will remain unlocked. If you move or need to update your shipping address, you are free to do so on your end. We will lock down surveys when we have a set date to start shipping rewards. An update will be posted to let you know before we do so.
Ray-Anthony Height at Los Angeles Comic Con
If you're in sunny Los Angeles this weekend, stop by Los Angeles Comic Con! Stop by Table F39 and say hi to Ray. He'll be there repping Midnight Tiger all weekend.
Again, thank you so much for supporting Midnight Tiger on Kickstarter and making this beautiful hardcover come to life.
Best,
