The Soulsborne graphic novel that explores the depths of horror and humanity. Lordran & Beyond 1st Edition is now available for pre-order. This four story collection combines 58 pages of Soulsy comics drawn by Veitstanz, plus 20 pages of extras including character profiles, trivia, and an art gallery!
Finally they've arrived, and I've got everything laid out and prepared to start shipping! Backers should start seeing emails and confirmations about their orders throughout the rest of this week and the weekend!
Just wanted to give an extra heads up for folks who have pre-ordered through BackerKit after the campaign ended, since you should still be getting email notifications about Kickstarter updates. Please note that I'm planning to have pre-orders charged and processed for shipping next week. Pre-orders from BackerKit are still part of the initial run of 1st Edition, but will be handled very slightly after the campaign backers just to help me keep everything streamlined. Also, if you're a backer who pledged during the campaign and purchased add-ons like an extra copy of the book or extra sticker sheets, you should be getting charged for those items by early next week!
Thank you everyone, and I can't wait for you all to finally have the books, stickers, and enamel pins in hand!

I'm so sorry to report once more about the shipping of the books being pushed back by one more week, again. The recent heat waves affecting the pacific northwest and California delayed the outgoing shipment from the printer, which is located in California. That said, the books have definitively, finally been picked up for shipment! They are currently scheduled to arrive next week on Tuesday or Wednesday, and I will hop to fulfilling and shipping out rewards ASAP. I have every other factor and element prepared for, so once they're here there should be no more obstacles to push fulfillment back any further.
Thank you all, again, for staying so patient. Fortunately we're still in the estimated "July" window for fulfillment, but I was really aiming to have everything sorted and shipped by the end of last month or earlier this month. With the production of 1st Edition however, I've learned a lot that I can utilize in greatly expediting production and fulfillment of future Kickstarter projects.
I hope you're all having a great week, and stay out of the heat if you can!
Hey again everyone! The printer has nearly completed the full order of books, and should be delivered to my residence by the end of next week! This isn't exactly wholly new information, as my previous update did estimate orders would begin shipping within the first two weeks of July, and that seems to be on track. I would anticipate that most orders should be shipped by the end of the week ending July 17th. I'll of course keep everyone up to speed on when the books arrive, and if there are any changes to the expected timeline for fulfillment.
And while I'm not one to put the cart before the horse, I've been using the downtime during book production to prepare as much as I can for the upcoming Lordran & Beyond 2nd Edition. This new edition of Lordran & Beyond will feature 5 different stories spanning approximately 100 pages of comics, and will prominently feature material drawn by Rachel Saunders (known online as Baru), Higgs, and Chris Puglise. As of now, I've got all of the comic pages for 2nd Edition fully re-lettered, and the new character profile and trivia pages nearly completely written. That said, there's still of course that entire 1st Edition to get into all your hands first, so my top priority now is to guarantee everyone gets their rewards for the 1st Edition campaign ASAP.
Thanks for checking in everyone!
