Hi, everyone!
Work on Simone & Ajax continues far-too-slowly but surely. I just turned over another batch of finished pages to colorist, Jason Millet. I appreciate your patience and feel you'll find it worth the wait. No one, especially me, expected this book to take so long to complete, but we're getting there. Here's another peek at the title image for #4, now inked. Once again I've removed the recap caption for those of you who haven't yet read #3.
Besides the book, work progresses on the extras. 25 of you backers will get an Ajax keychain, and they're shaping up nicely.
I'm getting back to work on Simone & Ajax and will keep you posted. Thanks again for all the support!
Yours in Adventure, Andrew

Hey, everyone!
Simone & Ajax love Kickstarter not only because it helps make new comics of them but because they (well, me, actually ;)) can back other great comics projects. So, while you're patiently waiting (Thank You!) for me to finish the Simone & Ajax book, here are few current Kickstarters I'm backing:
Kid Beowolfby Alexis Fajardo: I've enjoyed Alexis' work for many years, and this all-ages adventure looks to be lots of fun. Ends 6/25. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lexfajardo/kid-beowulf-the-tarpeian-rock
The Might MITE by C.B. Zane: This superhero adventure also looks like fun! I make fun comics and I like fun comics! Ends 7/3. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/intothesuck5/the-mighty-mite-1
The Disconauts by Jonathan Stevenson and others: This one not only looks fun, but it's fun-ky, too! And who said comics and disco didn't mix? This proves 'em wrong! Ends 7/1. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jonathanstevenson/the-disconauts-issue-1
Please check them out before they end.
And now back to work on Simone & Ajax. The next update will have another art preview.
Thanks!
Yours in Adventure, Andrew

Hi, everyone!
I hope you're all doing well these days! I know some of you have been wondering how the Simone & Ajax book is going. While things got a little further delayed, work has sped up of late and pages are being drawn. I appreciate your patience and am trying to get this book done and to you ASAP. It's taking much longer than anticipated, but I hope you'll find it worth the wait. I'll be keeping you posted.
It's hard to find pages to preview without giving away the plot, but here's the intro panel for page 1 of #4, with the recap removed for those of you who haven't yet read #3.
I hope all you backers got your download for #3. If you didn't get the email, please check your messages here on Kickstarter for the link.
Back to work here! Thanks again for your support!
