Greetings, Fellow Travelers of the Uncharted Territories (and Tormented Space),

We’re sending you a transmission from BOOM! Studios to let you know that we’ll be sending over Backerkit Surveys to you next week!

Be sure to keep an eye out for the email from Backerkit and if you don’t see it, feel free to contact at [email protected] for assistance.

Once you have access to the survey, you will be able to see what you ordered as well as what unlocked Stretch Goal items you qualified for. You will also be able to add-on additional items during the Survey period, so you can snag any books or collectibles that you may have missed during the campaign.

This is also an opportunity for you to update and provide the correct address for us to ship to. If you anticipate moving during this time or needing to ship it to a different location, provide that address now to avoid any issues with receiving things later.

The surveys will be open until May 2nd at which point they will close so we can start collecting data for fulfillment. We’ll follow up prior to that, to remind you to complete them before our deadline. Also we will be charging for shipping later in June when we are closer to fulfillment. 

We’ll be in touch later with more updates on how the books and merchandise are coming along. In the meantime, if you have any questions or need assistance with reserving your order, drop us a line at [email protected] for the fastest response. 

May Rah'nalan Be With You,

Your friends at BOOM! Studios


 

Thank you, and… Final Stretch Goal extended!

Greetings, Fellow Travelers of the Uncharted Territories (and Tormented Space),

We want to begin by thanking the draddest fans in any galaxy who participated in this BOOM! Direct Reserve campaign, and welcome all of the new FARSCAPE fans that joined in the final 48 hours of our FARSCAPE 25th Anniversary Comic Book Celebration! Thanks to your passion, FARSCAPE is now the 12th most successful Comics campaign in the history of Kickstarter and #3 in the Comic Books subcategory.

In April, we’ll be sending out surveys to everyone who participated in the campaign through BackerKit. At that time, you’ll be able to add-on any items you missed during the campaign, finalize your shipping costs, and confirm your mailing address. We’ll check in prior to shipping any products and you’ll be able to update your address if you move between now and then.

Our Pre-Order Store is also up and running on BackerKit now, so if you have friends who missed out on the campaign, let them know they can still pre-order through BackerKit. Anyone placing a pre-order through BackerKit will still receive the benefit of the upgraded books, but the free digital editions and bonus physical items will be exclusive to those who participated in the initial campaign. 

And because we came SO close to unlocking our final Stellar Stretch Goal at $750,000 during the active campaign, we’ve decided to extend this Stretch Goal to our Pre-Order Store. When we exceed an additional $66,848 in reserved orders through the BackerKit store, we will consider the final Stretch Goal unlocked for everyone which will add a free poster signed by Ben Browder and Gigi Edgley to every physical reserved order of $75 or more!

If you’ve already reserved an order through the initial campaign, do NOT use the Pre-Order Store to add-on items as it will create a separate order for you in BackerKit. You will want to wait until you receive your survey to add-on any items. 

Once again, thank you for an amazing campaign! We’ll be back next month ahead of releasing surveys. We will also be shifting to providing monthly campaign updates, which will include more behind-the-scenes insights on the progress of the series and production of your orders. 

In the meantime, if you have any questions or need assistance with reserving your order, drop us a line at [email protected] for the fastest response. 

May Rah'nalan Be With You,

Your friends at BOOM! Studios


 

Final 24 Hours!
about 2 months ago – Wed, Mar 20, 2024 at 10:43:59 AM

Greetings, Fellow Travelers of the Uncharted Territories (and Tormented Space),

There’s just 24 hours left in our FARSCAPE 25th Anniversary Comic Book Celebration and we’re aiming to finish strong! So for anyone who has been following the campaign, but hasn’t joined in yet, here’s a recap of everything we’ve unlocked thus far:

  • Free matching digital editions, in the form of DRM-free PDFs, for every BOOM! Direct Reserve customer with a physical reserved order.
  • Every FARSCAPE BOOK ONE and FARSCAPE BOOK TWO hardcover upgraded with Spot U/V and ribbon bookmarks added.
  • Every FARSCAPE 25TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL #1 and FARSCAPE ARCHIVE EDITION #1 upgraded to cardstock covers with Spot U/V.
  • Two premium metal bookmarks added to every physical reserved order.
  • A replica Farscape-1 mission patch to every physical reserved order at or above $75 (including Add-On Items).
  • Every FARSCAPE BOOK ONE and FARSCAPE BOOK TWO softcover upgraded with Spot U/V
  • Every FARSCAPE BOOK ONE and FARSCAPE BOOK TWO slipcase upgraded with Spot U/V and an emboss.
     

We still have time to unlock the free commemorative poster signed by Ben Browder and Gigi Edgley before the final bell rings! And remember, while the FARSCAPE: 25TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL #1, FARSCAPE ARCHIVE EDITION #1, FARSCAPE BOOK ONE and FARSCAPE BOOK TWO will be made available through comic shops and digital comic book marketplaces, these commemorative variant editions will only be available exclusively through this BOOM! Direct Reserve campaign, limited to their initial print run, and never-to-be reprinted again. If you’ve been on the fence about jumping through the wormhole with us, now is the time to reserve your copy!

Happy Anniversary, FARSCAPE!

Greetings, Fellow Travelers of the Uncharted Territories (and Tormented Space),

Raise a glass of fellip nectar, because today is officially the 25th Cycle Anniversary of FARSCAPE! We’re so zarking thrilled to be celebrating this milestone with over 3,600 FARSCAPE fans as we enter the final 48 hours of our FARSCAPE 25th Anniversary Comic Book Celebration!

We’re not the only ones celebrating this momentous occasion. Our friends at Shout! TV are airing a FARSCAPE marathon curated by stars Ben Browder and Gigi Edgley with an introduction by executive producer Brian Henson! Our favorite pop culture and science fiction sites like Inverse, IGN, and Collider are also celebrating the legacy of the show with retrospectives and interview. 

We’re marking the occasion by releasing an interview question with creator Rockne S. O’Bannon that we’ve been saving. We asked Mr. O’Bannon what he hoped the NEXT 25 years of storytelling in the world of FARSCAPE looks like and this is what he had to say:

What do YOU hope the next 25 years will bring? Share your thoughts and ideas in the comments below!

We’re less than $62,000 away from unlocking our next Stellar Stretch goal to add the original FARSCAPE comic story “Backyard Barbecue” by Ramón K. Pérez to every copy of FARSCAPE Book Two. And then just $100,000 more in reserved orders to unlock the free commemorative poster signed by Ben Browder and Gigi Edgley. So make sure to share this campaign link with friends and fellow FARSCAPE fans on social media, over email, or favorite message board so they don’t miss out. We can do it!

New Stretch Goal Revealed! Plus A New Video!
2 months ago – Fri, Mar 15, 2024 at 02:47:06 PM

Greetings, Fellow Travelers of the Uncharted Territories (and Tormented Space)!

Frell yeah! What a fantastic way to end the work weeken here at the BOOM! Studios mothership!

We’ve sold out of another limited tier, crossed $550,000, and in doing so unlocked our fifth Stellar Stretch Goal, all while welcoming another over 400 FARSCAPE fans to our FARSCAPE 25th Anniversary Comic Book Celebration. That means that we’ve upgraded every softcover edition and every slipcase in the campaign, by adding Spot U/V to both. Additionally, we’ve also added an emboss to every slipcase, further enhancing both softcover and slipcased editions to add depth and dimension resulting in a truly premium presentation.

It also means it’s time to reveal our next Stellar Stretch Goal, which will be unlocked when we reach $650,000. At that time, we will automatically add the original FARSCAPE comic story “Backyard Barbecue” by Ramón K. Pérez to every copy of FARSCAPE Book Two. This story was originally published as a mini-comic included as part of the complete series Blu-Ray release in 2013. It has only ever been reprinted as part of BOOM! Studios’ 2014 Free Comic Book Day release, and never collected with other FARSCAPE stories.

We have five days left in the active campaign to unlock both this additional content and the free bonus poster signed by Ben Browder and Gigi Edgley, so if you haven’t already, it’s a great time to share this campaign link with friends and fellow FARSCAPE fans on social media, over email, or favorite message board so they don’t miss out. We can do it!

Lastly, continuing our series of interviews with FARSCAPE creator Rockne S. O’Bannon, today Mr. O’Bannon shares with us the origin of FARSCAPE.  

It was so great to hear this story, and we want to know what you think in the comments below!

Tune back in for our final week of this BOOM! Direct Reserve campaign and help us finish strong! In the meantime, if you have any questions or need assistance with reserving your order, drop us a line at [email protected] for the fastest response. As a reminder, our customer service team will be offline over the weekend, but we’ll be back on Monday morning to answer any questions you may have.

May Rah'nalan Be With You,

Your friends at BOOM! Studios
