The project comes to trade with major momentum; the Kickstarter for the graphic novel collections raised over $1.4 million, and was the top comic project on Kickstarter for 2020 (see “Comics on Kickstarter Up 59% in 2020”).
This comic was written by Keanu Reeves and Matt Kindt with art by Ron Garney, colors by Bill Crabtree, and primary covers by Rafael Grampa and Mark Brooks, along with a raft of incentive variants, including a 1/1000 Reeves autograph variant.
Over 457,000 of the orders came from the two primary covers by Rafael Grampa and Mark Brooks (and the foil editions of each). Variants accounted for the rest of the sales; 36 mostly short-run retailer variants accounted for less than 5% of the total orders.Retailers could order with confidence; the issue is sold returnable to qualifying retailers.
