SOUND OF THUNDER KICKSTARTER PROGRAM ENDS THIS MONDAY!!
For Valiant fans and especially for those of us who love Shadowman, I wanted to make you aware that the great promo for A Sound of Thunder from Kickstarter ends this coming Monday They have got some great swag there, and with Master Darque playing such a role in BOD, you might want to really check this out. It's always great if we can get behind ANY project that has high Valiant visibility

I'm in for the mp3, but seriously considering upping my pledge to get the vinyl. At that level you also get an exclusive BoD #3, I believe.

Re: SOUND OF THUNDER KICKSTARTER PROGRAM ENDS THIS MONDAY!!
Bruce, thanks so much for posting!
Guys, YES, every order that includes the vinyl album will also include one free copy of our retailer variant of BOOK OF DEATH #3. The print run on these is only 500 copies, and features a badass fully painted cover of Master Darque (see the t-shirt and CD mockups on the Kickstarter page).
Also, every order at $25 and higher will include an exclusive 3-pack of "artifact cards" from Catalyst Games, which will work with Catalyst's forthcoming Valiant card game (hope I'm not spoiling anything here, Randall!). These will also be extremely limited.

Re: SOUND OF THUNDER KICKSTARTER PROGRAM ENDS THIS MONDAY!!
In all seriousness, I think Valiant went out on a limb a bit with this unconventional project. If it's successful, it may open the door for some more interesting projects, and I don't mean just from my band, but I mean more interesting types of collaborations in general. You really have to respect their willingness to sack up and try new things! I am so happy and proud that they allowed and trusted us to do this.

And please realize that the only way you can get the BOD #3 Variant is through this promo that ends this coming Monday. At only 500 copies AND only being available through Kickstarter, this will be a VERY SOUGHT after variant by completists or anyone who simply wants each and every cover of BOD. So don't let this slip by . Check out the site today and help out this worthy project

Re: SOUND OF THUNDER KICKSTARTER PROGRAM ENDS THIS MONDAY!!
Glad to see people participating in this
Here's hoping that Kickstarter and VEI both are happy enough with it to do future promos like this.
Plus, another reminder about the EXCLUSIVE BOD #3 Variant available with this promo, that's limited to only 500!
And it all ends tomorrow!

Re: SOUND OF THUNDER KICKSTARTER PROGRAM ENDS THIS MONDAY!!
Well, I'm a little strapped for cash at the moment so I've pledged what I can, but it's good to see that VEI have got behind this project all in all: the Bob Hall aerosmith-style 'throwback cover' poster and the Book of Death #3 extras are both very very cool
Overall, love that Shadowman has been the inspiration for this album, can't wait to give it a listen!

Re: SOUND OF THUNDER KICKSTARTER PROGRAM ENDS THIS MONDAY!!
Josh,
Question about the Sandria Darque T-Shirt is that ONLY available in women's size? (EDIT: found the answer to this reading over the kickstarter ... from the reward tier it sounded like it was only in women's sizes but from other places it sounds like there is a men's size for that shirt... Niiice, I like the Sandria one a lot, i might upgrade my level for it)
The artwork by Dusan Markovic is absolutely stunning by the way -- Valiant should hire him for more covers.

I upped my pledge to "Vinyl Junkie", but seriously considering "Senior Abettor". $100 is a lot of money.

Re: SOUND OF THUNDER KICKSTARTER PROGRAM ENDS THIS MONDAY!!
Hey guys, thanks so much for the support!
The Sandria Darque shirts were originally supposed to be women's cut shirts only, which is why the reward reads that way (they can't be edited after someone claims one), but we got so many men asking for that design that we changed it so you can choose either design on men's or women's cut shirts. For those that want both, we will be offering various items as add ons through our band webstore, so you can get both shirts if you want, extra CDs if you want one of each cover or one signed and one sealed, etc. We will message backers about this directly.
On the variant covers, there was some confusion on this so I just want to clarify that the Kickstarter is the only place to get one for FREE, and the only place to guarantee that you get one. However it looks like we've only sold about 110 copies of the vinyl, which means only 110 of the 500 variants have been claimed. We'll offer backers extra copies first, and then depending on how many are left we may offer them for public sale (probably at least $10 each), at our booth at Baltimore Comic Con, or if you guys want I can put the extra copies on my barbecue grill and upload a video of me cooking them to Youtube, and then you'll REALLY have a rare comic. ;0)
4 hours left! I am so happy and thankful to Valiant for letting us do this, and to all of the fans including you guys for throwing your support behind this! You rule!
Best,
Josh

They did a great job with putting together a nice collection of rewards - getting those great artists to contribute + exclusive BOD variant - Kudos to them for putting together a great kickstarter campaign.

Thanks! We actually have at least $300 of pledges via Paypal by people who had technical issues with Kickstarter, so we are even closer than it looks!

With under 2 hours to go, they're less than $500.00 away from hitting $30,000 in pledges which is TRIPLE the stated goal Any chance enough people could come in at the end and hit this lofty goal
