Hey yall! For the sake of avoiding self promo I'm just asking for feedback on the main page setup. I'm really struggling with what people generally care about. What their first concern is, would they watch a video, I'm assuming graphics over text, etc. This is the order the page will go in and then at the end if some of you could help me with FAQ that would also be greatly appreciated!

THE STORY (these will have image headers of course!)

Ashes Over Neon is a 28-page retro-futuristic original comic and soundtrack By Jake Tipton and Dan Albertson, adapted by Ethan Murphy, and performed by Jake Tipton and Anu Ratzburg.

Sera's past gets reintroduced to her on the brink of a career defining promotion and she must answer the question of crossroads. Does she keep clocking in as the gear she is like a good little puppet? Or does she take a leap of faith back into a world she left behind?

*Four finished pages of the comic will go here*

THE VISION

This first issue is just the beginning. Ashes Over Neon, if fully funded, will springboard into a long running series that follows the four main characters converging into the braided cable of destiny itself. Will you help them change the world?

1. Issue 1 tells the story of Sera and her crossroads decision.
2. Issue 2 tells the story of the Gutter Punks and the Discoverers.
3. Issue 3 tells the story of Dante and Ashes oVer Neon.
4. Issue 4 tells the story of...

And we're still at the tip of the iceberg. The full story has been written. The music has been written. It just needs you to become reality.

RISKS AND CHALLENGES

The largest risk I've noticed in most comic campaigns is that the book doesn't get finished, people don't have colorists, cover page isn't finalized, or it's just simply a sketch book. That risk doesn't apply here. Issue 01 is complete. Written, drawn, colored and lettered. Paid for out of my own pocket before this campaign launched. There is no scenario where the art doesn't arrive.

What remains is manufacturing and logistics, and I've quoted all of it directly from the vendors. Printing is through KaBLAM, with Print Ninja handling the premium edition if that goal unlocks. CDs and cassettes come from Kunaki, records from Little Elephant, merch from Vograce and Sticker Mule, shirts and posters printed on demand through Fourthwall.

The honest risks are these manufacturing timelines can slip, particularly on vinyl, which is why the delivery estimates above are padded rather than optimistic. Postage rates change, which is why shipping is collected after the campaign at real cost rather than guessed at. And overseas production can be delayed by customs or freight beyond anyone's control.

If any of that happens, you'll know about it as soon as I do in a campaign update, patreon update, etc. Silence is how backers get burned and that won't happen here.
