2019 Review, Update From Comics Creator STEVE CONLEY

I hope that your 2020 has started off warm, and safe, and full of comics!
A recap: 2019 was an amazing year for The Middle Age and I owe it all to you! 
  • We started off the year shipping The Volume One hardcover collection! The printing and production turned out so much better than I'd hoped. It was such a learning experience and everyone was so supportive and patient!
  • The Volume One softcover edition then became available on Amazon soon after and we've sold hundreds of copies (thanks to everyone who left a review!).
  • Patreon support has continued to grow allowing me to to update The Middle Age twice a week! Amazingly, we've had 12 new patrons sign up in just the past ten days!
  • The Middle Age was honored with a "Best Colorist" nomination in the Ringo Awards. It's the fourth major nomination for the series and the fourth loss. We'll get them next time! :D 
  • And the second Kickstarter campaign - for Volume Two - was funded in less than seven hours and even exceeded the first campaign!
It was a crazy, wonderful year and I owe it all to your support!

Missed the Kickstarter Campaign? Don't worry!
I've partnered with Backerkit to allow for additional orders. Here's the link: https://the-middle-age-volume-...

What's Next?
  • More of The Middle Age! I'm starting 2020 with a return to Monday/Thursday webcomic updates. I really like posting new episodes on those days and readers seem to appreciate the predictability.
  • I'm working on creating more exclusive content to reward my existing Patreonsupporters and to hopefully encourage more readers to help support me in 2020.
  • Fulfilling the recent Kickstarter for Volume Two.
  • And I'm planning a Kickstarter to collect my original webcomic Astounding Space Thrills in a hardcover format for the first time.  I'll let everyone know more as the plan comes together.

Thank you again for your kind support of my comics and cartooning! It means the world to me. Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year!
