Surveys on Monday and Picture Call
8 days ago

Hey White Ashians,
Just wanted to pop in with a quick update. Right now we're waiting for Backerkit to sign off on our survey. Once they do, that will go out to everyone. Should be in the next day or two, but Monday at the latest. I'll post another update when they've been sent. And we'll try to send out digital rewards about a week or so after that.
Secondly, we're putting out a call for pictures. Over the years at conventions we've gotten to meet a lot of our fans and been lucky enough to snag a couple pics. And sometimes our fans are nice enough to post pics online. We're trying to put something together to show how large and varied our fanbase is, a pictorial appreciation of the greater Team White Ash out there. If you would be comfortable being included in that we'd love it if you'd send us a picture of yourself with your favorite issue of White Ash or Glarien. Something along the lines of these...
Pictures can be emailed to [email protected]
Thanks so much, we love our fans and couldn't do any of this without you.
Charlie and the rest of Team Ash

Hey White Ashians,
Just wanted to pop in with a quick update. For those of you who have backed some of our other projects, you may have seen I'd recently moved. It turns out I VASTLY underestimated how much of a disruption the whole process was going to be and how long it was going to take to get situated at the new place and be able to get back into a groove. And to make things even more difficult, my hard drive died on my main computer, so getting that back into working order has been... fun.
Anyway, that's my long-winded of saying I'm sorry the surveys aren't out yet. Hope to get those out next week (probably near the end of the week). We'll start sending out digital catch-up rewards about two weeks after the surveys hit your inbox.
Sorry again for the delay. Be back in touch very soon. And for those who celebrate, have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Charlie
Thank you and what comes next

Hey White Ashians,
Thank you SO MUCH for another incredible White Ash outing. It’s only because of you, our incredibly loyal and growing fanbase that we’re able to keep bringing you stories in the White Ash Universe.
If you’ve been with us before, you know we like to provide a roadmap for what the timeline is looking like going forward.
But before we dive into The When, we wanted to give a shout out to The Who -- the incredible artists who help bring White Ash and Glarien to life. Here are the links to their socials, if you’d like to get to know any of them better and give them a follow.

Also, with the current ever-changing nature of social media, if you like the kind of books we put out, I’d suggest giving me (Charlie) a follow on Kickstarter or joining our mailing list. That way you'll be sure to know when we're going to drop something new on Kickstarter. And don't worry, we don't spam our backers with the mailing list. We only send out one (maybe two when we have a KS live) blasts a month. We try to keep you up to date on the comings and going of White Ash Comics and have fun artist interviews like this one we did a was back with Mick Beyers.
But back to White Ash and what's next. For those of you who have been with us before, you know how we operate, but for those of you new to our world of books, here's schedule of things going forward.
Week One — Taking care of business. Kickstarter collects fees and backers who may have forgotten that their credit card has expired/was stolen/was maxed out doing a last minute move to a swing state, will be given a chance to update it. PLEASE CHECK and see if you're one of the 43 backers that have a notification from KS. ALL CARDS NEED TO BE RESOLVED BY TUESDAY NIGHT.
(NOTE: If you're having financial difficulties, we understand. Kickstarter only gives a one-week window to resolve your card issues. If you need more time, message us. You’ll be able to resolve your card issues post-campaign in Backerkit.)
Week Two - Tell Us What We Need To Know (around November 18th) — As soon as Kickstarter has finalized the backer list, we’ll send out our Surveys. Please fill these out as quickly as possible. Our plan is to start fulfilling some of the digital rewards by early next month.
Week Four - Here Come Some Digital Goods (around Dec 2nd) — Once we have all the surveys back and we have your emails and addresses in hand, we'll send out all the catch-up PDF’s.
From there, we’ll keep you posted. As of now, everything is on track for a January digital delivery and a February print delivery. That said, If we hit any delays we'll make sure that you're kept firmly in the loop.
If you have any questions, always feel free to reach out to me here on Kickstarter or find me on the following social networks:

Back in touch very soon. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone.
Can't do any of this without you.

New drops up, White Ash 02 and 03

Hey White Ashians,
A quick reminder, as I mentioned in the last update, we will be releasing a few add-ons every day or so from now till the end of the campaign. So if you want a chance to grab a couple of issues from the vault, keep your eyes peeled.
Currently, there are few copies available of the Nick Robles variant of White Ash 02 and the Conor Hughes cover for 03 posted as add-ons.
Good luck. This is likely the last time either of these will be offered through a kickstarter campaign.
Thanks again everyone. Have a wonderful week.

Moving Blow Out!

Hey White Ashians,
Thank you all again for such an amazing start and middle to the campaign. It's been too long since we had a new proper issue of White Ash, so we really appreciate you all continuing to come back year after year.
Sorry for the quiet on the update front. After a loooooooong time at one location, we here at White Ash HQ are in the midst to a move to a new home. And at some point after moving a lot of boxes... you realize you have a lot of boxes left. So we thought, what a perfect time to drop some comics we haven't offered for a long time to slightly minimize the daunting task we still have in front of us. So for the rest of the campaign we will be doing daily drops of old variants and collection specials. To start with, we just added on a few copies of the 1st print of White Ash 02 from 2018.
It's a great cover from Conor. But you can see how his design of Lillian has evolved over the years. It's a great issue and a snapshot of an earlier time in White Ash. If you don't have one of these, I'm guessing they're going to sell quickly, so add it on now.
For the completists, we also threw up a bundle that includes all the issues and variants that were released in stores through Scout Comics for the first arc of White Ash.
There are two of those at a pretty reasonably priced bundle. Because again, I don't love moving boxes.
Hope you all have an amazing rest of your weekend. I'll be back soon. Till then, thanks again, we really couldn't do any of this without you.
Charlie and the rest of the growing Team Ash (Conor, Fin, Julian and Tango)
