So BRZRKR..backers get trades the same time shops do in 9/2021, 3/2022 and 9/2022, but the series is monthly, 12 issues total and #1 drops in a month? So backers get to read the first four issues eight months after #4 is in stores? And vol. 3 ( #9-12) a year after the series ends?

They& #39;ve made it pretty blatantly clear that they expect KS backers to also buy individual issues when they come out, but a lag that huge is a shitty thing to do to a customer who just gave you $100+.

I see what BOOM was trying to get at, they want to identify people interested enough in the book to pre-order it and have a direct line to remind them to go buy the individual issues monthly on top of what they& #39;ve already bought.

But that& #39;s...what mailing lists are for. Kickstarter is for people trying to make their book happen at all--it& #39;s not a place for established companies with ample resources to play with wacky marketing ideas and try to get people to buy the same book twice. This is a bad look.

"People recognize the Kickstarter brand and we figured hey, why not try to leverage that brand in a way that& #39;s fully counter to the fundamental concepts upon which the site was founded?"

Whoever greenlit this at @Kickstarter needs to get their head examined.

The comics section of @kickstarter has slowly gone to hell since they let Camilla Zhang go. Stuff like this, unlicensed IP use all over the place...disappointing.
