May Blog Post (Patreon)

Hey Patrons, 

Don’t judge, but I have to make this joke:

Happy May! We’re ramping up toward summer convention season and that means there’s a lot of goings on here at Jawiin HQ. Ashley and I are treading water and Intern Brego is doing his best to cheer us on. 

I want to start this update with gratitude. So many of you have preordered and shared my prose book Super Soldiers that it’s become an Amazon Best Seller! This has been a big undertaking and quite a divergence from what I’ve been doing in the past. I can’t tell you how much it means to see this support behind such a person project, so I’ll just say “Thank you.”

… by the way, if you haven’t picked up SUPER SOLDIERS yet you can get it HERE!! 

Send your receipt to jasoninmanauthor@gmail.com and you’ll get an exclusive sneak peek at the FIRST 3 CHAPTERS & an exclusive video where I talk about MY WRITING PROCESS!

The FOURTH EPISODE of Crisis Club will be in your feeds this coming FRIDAY! We’ve shot through EPISODE SIX and have a couple more to knock out in the coming weeks. Last month we did our first QUARTERLY LIVESTREAM. Thanks so much to everyone who watched live and put up with the technical difficulties we experienced due to Youtube’s recent update. Ashley and I had a great time doing CRISIS CLUB Live and we’ve learned so much that is only going to make the next Livestream so much better.

Secret Easter Egg: there’s going to be an influx of DCTV PREDICTIONS in future episodes of CRISIS CLUB. If you’ve been watching our FLASH and ARROW Reviews you’re going to love those segments in particular. 

Speaking of videos, you’ve probably noticed on Youtube and recent Geek History Lesson Episode that we’ve been mentioning The Ringo Awards a whole bunch lately. Named for legendary creator Mike Weiringo, THE RINGO AWARDS are comic book awards open to PRO & FAN VOTES! We’re asking that you go and vote for Jupiter Jet BEFORE JUNE 1ST!

We had our first Live Geek History Lesson in Hollywood, California and met so many amazing patrons and supporters who came out from all over the country! Thank-you so much to everyone who came out and supported our live effort. We did film the Live Show and are in the process of making it available to our direct supporters here … so keep your eyes on the feed for more about that!

ALSO … we’re actively planning our second GEEK HISTORY LESSON LIVE! if you were unable to attend the inaugural event make sure you’re checking our patreon updates for all the details about WHERE/WHEN/WHAT as they become available! 

The next Book Club episode is coming up on INVINCIBLE VOLUME 1!: FAMILY MATTERS:

• If you still need to pick up a copy of the book get it HERE.
• If you haven’t left a comment that could be read on the episode, leave it on the Original Post. 
• You have until FRIDAY, MAY 24th!

Science! is completed on two fronts: WRITING & INKS! It’s been passed along to our colorist and letterer and once we give it one last proofread it’s just a matter of getting the book to the printer - THEN OUT IN THE WORLD! Everyone is striving to get the Graphic Novel completed and ready for SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON, but we don’t have official confirmation yet. It is our hope to have copies available there, maybe a panel with our publisher (Bedside Press), and the Kickstarter rewards going out soon! This is the first time we’ve felt as though we can see the finish lie for SCIENCE! and it really is amazing! At this time last year we were just beginning to reach out to contributors and collaborators for the Kickstarter campaign.

Ashley’s Aurora & The Eagle #1 funds have just transferred from Kickstarter, so she is finally getting the rewards created. The issue has one more lettering draft and then the .pdf will be ready to start going out to backers!

More Mind University Producer videos have dropped on Youtube in the past month. While Flash and Arrow are airing their last two episodes of the season we’re putting the MIND UNIVERSITY PRODUCER videos on hold so we can have the most in depth analysis on those Reviews. Those videos will probably run a little longer than average, so if you’re enjoying them, there’s more to go around! If you donate at the MIND UNIVERSITY PRODUCER LEVEL OR HIGHER be sure to send us topic suggestions when we reach out!

As I’m entering the second quarter of the year I’m getting ready to implement some changes. Super Friends, you’ve been with me through so many shifts (professional and personal), and I’m looking forward to your input, your insights, and your enthusiasm as we at Jawiin HQ try newer, bigger things! Thanks for your support in all of my endeavors!

Thank you

Jason Inman
