Hey, Mummy's Always Right backers! Joe Mulvey and the ComixTribe team here.
Hope you're getting ready and excited for Halloween this year. (I know my girls are!)
I wanted to send a quick message your way letting you know that I'm giving away a FREE copy of my new Digital Sketchbook to backers who help fund my newest book, WAILING BLADE, which is on Kickstarter right now!
This sketchbook is fully loaded with 80+ pages of my best sketches, pin-ups, commissions, covers and samples, and it's all yours when you TAKE THE BLADE at any pledge level.
Wailing Blade is the dark fantasy series I drew and co-created with writer and fellow New Yorker Rich Douek!
If you took a blender and mixed up Masters of the Universe with Mad Max, tossed in a little Conan and lots of Heavy Metal, that’s what’s in store for you in the pages of WAILING BLADE.
The campaign is doing amazing, we're closing in on 300 backers and over $18,000 pledged... but we still need support to make this book happen.
Now, unlike Mummy's Always Right, which I made for my little girls, this one I made for me!
Wailing Blade is high-adrenaline fantasy adventure, set in the dark future of mankind.
It's unlike anything I've ever drawn before, and fans of Conan, Elric, Masters of the Universe and other sword & sorcery epics, or people who love heavy metal dystopian action tales like Mad Max are going to love this book.
It's already been getting some great buzz, and we're shooting to triple our initial funding goal, which is awesome.
There are just 36 hours left to TakeTheBlade and we're very close to hitting an awesome 500 backer milestone and unlocking the second issue for all backers!
If you've already supported me again by backing WAILING BLADE, I can't thank you enough.
And if you're ready to jump in and help push this one over the top, I'm thrilled to have you!
Thanks so much for taking a look!
- Joe

Hey Everyone,
I really hope you're 2017 has been off to a great start, it's hard to believe that April is almost over and it's even harder to think that it's been almost a year since we launched the MUMMY'S ALWAYS RIGHT campaign. I wanted to take this time to thank every single one of you for helping make this book happen. Over the last year, being able to share this book with a larger audience than just my two girls (Who still read MUMMY'SALWAYS RIGHT almost nightly) has been one of the greatest and most eye opening experiences of my life. I've enjoyed seeing all the reviews and the massive amount of photo's with all of your loved ones enjoying the book. It's been the MOST satisfying thing I've ever done. Making a book that's so thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by so many people is something that I, the great people at ComixTribe and my whole family are extremely grateful for.
Just one of the many great reviews.
None of this happens without YOUR support. And the further support you've shown after the campaign by mentioning the book to other friends and family, promoting it on social media or leaving Amazon reviews have all been insanely helpful in getting the word out about this book. And I'm hoping to be able to share some even crazier news about GAWS and all his friends in CREATURE COVE soon, but the most important bit of information is that there are MORE books coming. As we speak, I'm deep into production on the follow up book "DON'T BE A FRANKENMINE" which will be all about that selfish little monster FRANKENMINE and how he needs to learn how to share and play well with others. I'll be posting more stuff on the MUMMY Facebook Page very soon, so please make sure you've liked the page so you can check out all the fun and insanity going on with that book. www.facebook.com/mummysalwaysrightbook
If you would like to hear me talk about MUMMY'S ALWAYS RIGHT and a whole other bunch of stuff that I'm working on you can hear me TOMORROW,April 27th at 1pmEastern, I'll be on the LIFE OF DAD live stream over on their FaceBook page. It will be a lot of fun and I hope you stop by. Here's the link - www.facebook.com/lifeofdad/
And before I go I wanted to let yo know that if you've enjoyed MUMMY'S ALWAYS RIGHT, you may have noticed a character within it's pages called CTHU-LOU, well he's the smaller version of the Cthulhu character from their hugely popular series, C is for CTHULHU, which now has a BRAND NEW board book called SWEET DREAMS CTHULHU and the campaign is now live, so head on over and make sure you check out that fantastic book here- www.kickstarter.com/projects/cisforcthulhu/sweet-dreams-cthulhu-a-lovecraftian-bedtime-board?ref=user_menu
KICKSTARTER is FULL of amazing products, one more I want to tell you about is INK ISLAND. It's an all ages comic PLUS a teaching guide. It's something I'm really looking forward to and just wanted to make sure ti let you all know about. I think it's something really unique and something def worth your time to check out. But act fast because the campaign is almost over. Here's the link- www.kickstarter.com/projects/rkl/ink-island-all-ages-one-shot-comic-teaching-guide?ref=user_menu
That's about it for now. Over the upcoming weeks we'll be showing more of the creation process behind "DON'T BE A FRANKENMINE" and will look forward to getting all of your input as we move forward.
Have a great one!
Joe

One thing my publisher and I have learned about putting books out on a platform like Amazon is that it's hard to get noticed there.
Because Mummy is a brand new book, it's completely buried behind classics like Green Eggs and Ham and Goodnight Moon... and even Goodnight Goon!
Amazon responds to only two things:
1) Reviews
2) Sales
And so, to help put Mummy's Always Right on the Amazon map, my publisher ComixTribe and I are going to be making a bunch of copies available to our VIP email list through Amazon only at a BIG Discount later today.
But I thought that before we send the offer out to 13,000+ readers on the email list...
Let's give our awesome Mummy backers FIRST DIBS on these coupons, seeing as many of you are doing your holiday shopping and still have more little monsters on your list to buy for.
Here's the Deal...
We have in our hands 50 Coupon Codes for Mummy's Always Right at Amazon in different amounts off:
1) These coupons are only valid for the physical board book of Mummy's Always Right (and can't be used on other ComixTribe Books.
2) They're only good at Amazon.com (US store only.)
3) They're only going to be good this week and will expire FRIDAY 12/9/16.
4) If you have Amazon prime, your book will also be eligible for free Prime shipping.
5) We will be giving out coupons starting TOMORROW MORNING, in the order that people register to get one. (The sooner you click, the higher your discount will be.)
6) Please don't click if you're not actually interested in getting another copy of the book at a 50% or more discount on Amazon.com... because you'll likely be stealing a coupon from someone who is interested. (And as the residents of Whoville will tell you, no one likes a Grinch!)
On behalf of ComixTribe & myself, thanks so much for your support this year.
Best,
Joe

Hey there!
Not gonna lie, I literally can't get enough of these Mummy's Always Right pics.
I've put out books before and been thrilled every time one of my comics or graphic novels has found its way into a readers' hands.
When an adult reads your stuff, you hope to transport them to a different place and entertain them for a bit, give them a little break after a stressful day at work before they get back to the real world.
But with kids, to see them completely enthralled and engulfed in the world between the pages...
It's way more of a great feeling than I'd ever have thought.
And it wouldn't have happened without your support so again... I thank you.
Fulfillment Update
So, great news on the fulfillment front. Here's what our fulfillment dashboard looks like today:
1 Backer has filled out the survey, but the credit card for the order was declined.
Board books are mostly shipping from our Amazon fulfillment partner, and should be arriving any day now for US backers, if you haven't received yours already.
International backers should start receiving their books (if they haven't already) next week... But from experience, depending on location, delivery can take anywhere from two weeks to a month.
We also put the last of the extras (prints and add-ons) into the mail earlier this week.
Please wait at least one week before contacting us about anything missing from your order... now is the busiest time of the year for the USPS, but your stuff should arrive soon.
However, if after a week in the US and a month INTERNATIONAL you still haven't received something you expected from us, please let us know. Human error does happen and packages do get lost in transit. We'll happily replace your package to make sure you get what you're due.
