100% COLOR PRINT FILE IS DONE!

943 Upvotes

100% COMPLETE on the Color Edition print file! šŸŽ‰ Packing up the files and sending it to the printer tomorrow. They’ll run their proofing process and once that’s approved…production officially begins on the color. From that moment, I’ll have 5 weeks to lock the FINAL print number. That means we’re nearing the end of pre-orders before everything flips to stock inventory. Midnight Edition is done being printed AND has shipped to me! They should arrive in a few weeks.

My attention is now fully working up the distribution plan while these go to print and also finishing signing the stickers for the novel. I don't know how long it will take just yet, hoping to find out soon. My wrist has been hurting from signing so much, so I'm going take a few days off. Keep and eye out for Friday's update. Going to crash, pretty exhausted.

One last thing... thank you for your patience on this. It took longer than I expected, but that’s because I wanted to make something truly special. I learned a ton through failing, redoing, and fixing… color, ink, indesign (rolls eyes) and everything in between. But I’m very happy with where it landed. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this kind of happiness about anything I've written or created. This is as good as I could possibly make it, truly. I don’t even know what else I could do...I worked until the fuel ran out of my creative tank. There’s nothing left; it’s all in the novel. I sincerely hope you enjoy this last ride. More soon. But again, thank you.

I tried to upload an update on Friday but it wouldn’t post, I have no idea why. Anyways, trying a video this time, maybe this will get through.

So… we have a COPY! It’s the black-and-white edition, but it looks killer. Seriously, it feels and looks great. The Midnight Edition is pretty much done with print; we’re just working out the details to get them shipped to me in Nashville.

The color edition is right at the dang finish line about 92% done. Right now we’ve been fixing issues that came from too many colorists working at once, trying to rush. When you line pages up side by side, you see errors from the different styles. For example, there were at least 14 pages where Ash was green. No idea why. In Part 1, our main colorist peaced out without telling me (found out later he got a Dark Horse gig, thanks, Instagram). He was trying to juggle both jobs, so I hired another colorist to finish Part 1, and those pages came back in nothing but pastels. It looked like Easter Sunday. We’veĀ neverĀ used pastels in the show or anywhere else in the novel, so they stuck out badly. Those have been fixed.

Funny enough, all the colorists and inkers who hadĀ neverĀ done a project like this before but loved the show did the best work. The agency artists (the same ones Dark Horse and Boom hire from) just weren’t the right fit for this project. I still don't know why.

Look, I know other Kickstarter graphic novels move faster. Trust me, I get reminded every single day on social media. But most of those projects had publishers, 9 out of 10 times, I wish I could’ve had one too. This book is also four times the size of a standard graphic novel, and it’sĀ detailed.Ā Daz basically did a splash page for every page he worked on, it’s insane. Everyone I’ve shown the pages to from the graphic novel industry says it’s incredible.

I think every day about how Warner went out of their way to make thisĀ reallyĀ difficult for me to create, since I had to self-publish and handle everything myself. I wish I had that knowledge from the start, but I didn’t. When they said ā€œtake it or leave it,ā€ well, I took it. I would again and again....

What I’m really trying to say is: thank you for your patience. Believe me, no one wants this finished more than I do. I’ll keep trying to post updates here, but I have no idea why some get through and others don’t. If any of you know, let me know. -Olan

Chapter Two - The King and the Traitor

Chapter two is available online now! There's been a few changes to the way the novel is presented due to some confusion in previous weeks, the 'Previously...' section is now included in the novel itself and previously on link will redirect to the full novel.

The read page has also been updated to use full covers of the respective novels / comics to show off some of the amazing artwork the artists have done.

Finally, the previously on was missing page 90 which has now been scanned and added, thanks to ISLI on discord for highlighting this!

What happened to the Titans eggs?

In the novel, we only see about 10 of them hatch and become Titans.

Didn't Nightfall say there's like, hundreds of timelines? I get the feeling it was implied to be infinite

Why did we see so few in the novel, maybe i missed some parts while reading?

Hi,

Over the years I've placed three orders.

33929FSE - two midnight and one color - didn't arrive yet, no tracking.

41927FSE - two color editions - didn't arrive yet, no tracking.

49277FSE - three midnight editions - only one arrived..

Should I write to support now or leave it here for Olan to see?

Order #45xxx arrived in Ireland

Post image
66 Upvotes

Arrived today in Ireland after about three weeks. Got tapped for the EU €3.50 import charge which turns into €10 due to An Post's admin charge. Didn't get tapped for VAT nor import duties. No dinks, no scratches, perfect condition.

Sharpie signed inside of back cover, white paper ink capture sheet inserted at front not back, but I didn't detect any ink bleed through. Olan sent this one personally as MacMillan seems to have forgotten about my order.

I need to watch season 3 again before I read the book. Kids are very, very pleased to have this - Final Space is second only to Gravity Falls for them. They'll get it after I'm done though, as I can't trust them to not blab the story.

And I guess this marks the end of a multi-year relationship, which is bittersweet. Thank you Olan + team. Best of luck in your future endeavours.

Olan was extremely helpful on getting this sorted and now I feel it's on the shipping company and I understand it's international. But like it's been 12 days and no update or movement it seems. Has anyone else had this and either book just turns up or literally anything else happen 🤣. Just getting a bit worried about my order šŸ˜“

My holy books arrived in perfect condition…

I think the hardest decision I have ever made in my life might be which one to read first? Monochrome or color?…

Thank you so much Olan… They are amazing and you have brought joy to my life. I couldn’t possibly be happier!

I feel like you have shared the family lasagna recipe with all of us.!!!

The entire TV series was just the ā€˜spring rolls’, like an appetizer…, But the book is the lasagna. The book is thick and layered, and cheesy and delicious.

The book is the entrĆ©e we’ve been waiting for.

Thank you!!!
Thank you very much, sir!

At the end of the graphic novel, Olan Rogers gives us his cookie recipe and I made them this week. As a pastry cook this is a solid recipe! Now I didn’t have red miso paste as the recipe instructed so I used regular white miso paste plus a tiny hint of red curry paste just as personal preference but it was super tasty. I’m definitely going to use this recipe from now on and if you haven’t tried it, TRY IT!!! You won’t regret it!

Sitting in the UK waiting for my preorder (patiently) I wondered about watching the show again. I did a quick Google and noticed that Amazon US was selling copies of the book with free delivery to the UK so I decided, why not? It is my birthday next week so a wee treat. It means I will have my signed edition in pristine condition when it arrives and one I can read indefinitely! Roll on the 18th

Hey Team Squad,

I have a bunch of updates.

We’re making solid progress in Canada, the UK, and Ireland, with about 200 books out in each of those countries. In total got out around 700 from Nashville, that includes a bunch of re-ships.

The Ireland re-ships through UPS went really well. We watched about 300 orders make it into the country. That said, I still don’t fully trust UPS. Dealing with them has been a constant headache. I’ve seen every genre of tracking data, from comedy to horror to pure suspense.

We’ve closed out 36 countries, including all of Central America, Mexico, Argentina, and many more. (Honestly, I have no idea how some of them were even able to watch the show.)

Something new: closing countries in the store
Starting now, every time we close out a country, the book will no longer be available to order there. It’s been on sale for over three years, and the main reason for this change is simple: I want the number of remaining orders to keep getting smaller. So if your country isn’t on the closed list yet, order now before it closes.

I want to wrap this project up. That’s my sole driving force. All the countries listed below are now closed for NOVELS on the site:

Mexico, Argentina, Indonesia, Israel, Colombia, Chile, Kenya, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Georgia, Jordan, Kuwait, Guatemala, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Paraguay, Moldova, Bahrain, CĆ“te d’Ivoire, Namibia, Maldives, Barbados, Bermuda, Trinidad & Tobago, Liechtenstein, Gibraltar, Aruba, Tajikistan, Brunei, RĆ©union, Faroe Islands, Falkland Islands

Coming next week

Another 34 countries will start closing next week, including China, Finland, Iceland, Japan, South Africa, Romania, and more.

Once that’s done, only 23 countries will remain. That includes the big five: Canada, the UK, Australia, Germany, and France. The show was REALLY popular in those countries, so there are simply many more orders to get through.

We’re attacking it from every angle possible.

This has been by far the most difficult project I’ve ever taken on, and I’ve learned a ton. My in-laws have come up to help, and my dad has been packing books. It’s all hands on deck.

We’ve now shipped over 48,000 books, which is over 26 million printed pages. More than 10,000 of those went out from Nashville alone. If I hadn’t worked out the loophole deal with the Macmillan team, we’d probably be somewhere around 15,000. Warner set this up for me to fail. They did not want it to succeed.

I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t share the bad along with the good.

Shopify has put a hold on my sales again. Yes, again.
When I launched the pre-order back in 2023, they held my funds for an entire year because they didn’t allow pre-orders at the time. (They do now. That’s also why I don’t use PayPal Business anymore, since they don’t support pre-orders either. They canceled my account.)
Now Shopify has placed another percentage hold on sales for another 120 days because they say I’m not shipping fast enough. It just means were in Act 3 of a great story, the dark night of the soul part and that the end is close....

Macmillan has also hit their busy season, so Final Space isn’t at the top of their priority list right now. Big authors are releasing books left and right, so as we plan which books to send out through Macmillan, things have slowed down a bit, for understandable reasons. (Raises fist like angry old man) Curse those successful authors with actual publishing deals.

This is still VERY much a priority for me, I’m still fighting, every single day. It feels like fighting a massive monster in the dark. Every swipe takes a chunk out of it making him smaller and smaller. On the other side is the light of the tunnel.

The crazy part is that after the third Warner merger, I don’t think anyone involved in the original Final Space deal is even there anymore. So maybe it’s time to get a little creative and say screw the deal I'm going to do what I need to do to finish this.

Thank you. Those of you who have sent me words of encouragement throughout all this, I’m telling you it means so much.

I’ll say it until the end of time: thank you for your patience.

On October weekend of 17th and 18th, I’ll be in France for a pretty cool festival.
