What is the cost of shipping? And is it included?
Shipping is not included in your pledge total. We will ask for your final shipping cost at the time that our pledge manager survey goes out. So please be aware that there will be shipping costs after the campaign. Here is a quick breakdown of average shipping costs that you can expect on this campaign — you can find the full breakdown shipping estimate graphics on the main campaign page.
US: $10 - $25 United Kingdom: $20 - $35 Australia & New Zealand: $20 - $35 Canada: $20 - $35 Europe: $25 - $40 Asia: $25 - $40 Mexico, Central & South America: $20 - $35
Also, please note: Total Shipping costs will reflect the total you will be charged for shipping and handling for your reserved tier and any unlocked stretch goals. Add-on items may increase your overall shipping costs. Additionally, during the survey period any U.S. and Canadian customers will be charged for any applicable sales tax based on your final order. For all other international orders, please note that your country may have additional VAT fees or customs duties which AWA Studios does not collect in advance. You will be 100% responsible for any of those fees should they be applied, and AWA Studios will not refund any international orders that are refused due to VAT or customs fees beyond our control.

What content is collected in the Digital vs Softcover vs Hardcover Editions?
All three versions will include the same content — all 8 issues of the original series, the new story created for this Kickstarter campaign, and tons of backmatter from Garth Ennis and Goran Sudžuka. The only difference is how you enjoy the book.
Stretch Goal Note: The Hardcover edition has tons of enhancements that the softcover does not have. The softcover will be an oversized edition of a traditional trade paper back, while the hardcover has special enhancements on the book.

Goran Sudžuka — The Artist
We talked to Goran about his work on MARJORIE FINNEGAN, collaborating with Garth Ennis, and some of his past work in comics (like Y: THE LAST MAN with Brian K. Vaughan, and OUTLAW NATION with Jamie Delano).
Here is one of our favorite answers below, but you can read the full interview here

Were there any instances where feedback or dialogue with Garth Ennis led to significant changes or additions to the artwork?
There weren’t many notes from Garth on Marj, but I remember one particular note that even Garth described as “the weirdest note in his whole career” — in the 2nd issue there’s a certain celebrity with a turd on his head. After I sent the penciled page, Garth asked for a change. I drew classic cartoony spiraled poop and Garth asked for an “elongated, realistic one, to make sure it’s a human turd, not dog poop.”
(You can now purchase original art from Goran on this campaign!)

Will a version of this new extended Marjorie Finnegan, Temporal Criminal be released in comic shops or bookstores?
A standard-size edition may be available after the campaign, but it will not feature the Kickstarter exclusive cover from Amanda Conner or the backmatter that brings you closer to the story and the creators. Marjorie Finnegan may be reprinted in the future and the new edition may include the new issue as part of the Marjorie Finnegan story, but the cover, backmatter, oversized nature, and hardcover will not be sold in store.
The Deluxe Expanded Director’s Cut and other rewards marked as “Kickstarter exclusive” will only be available during the campaign or, in the event of unclaimed or released rewards, through the fulfillment survey at our discretion.

CHEERS WITH GARTH Event & Tier Information
Thinking about upgrading to the CHEERS WITH GARTH tier? No need to traverse the time lanes to seize this once in a lifetime experience. It’s only $50 upgrade from the hardcover tier, and it’s packed with a trove valued at almost twice that much!
This Zoom event will be over an hour and it will be recorded for anyone who has a ticket (this event and recording will not be available to anyone outside of this Kickstarter campaign). So join legendary writer Garth Ennis and AWA CCO Axel Alonso at the bar! Well, virtually, that is. Don’t miss this once in a lifetime event to hear Garth and Axel chat about their process on past projects together and apart, talk about creating Marjorie Finnegan, and the creative process in general. This is your chance to learn from a true expert in comics — and his editor!
This experience puts you in the room with the legendary creator of The Boys, Marjorie Finnegan, and many more. Learn first-hand how he created his groundbreaking works!
CHEERS WITH GARTH tier includes your ticket to an exclusive Zoom event with Garth Ennis and Axel Alonso — a rare opportunity as Garth Ennis pulls back the curtain on his behind-the-scenes creative process and shares the bounty of his many stories and insights from his long career in comics. You also get the 4-print variant cover set from superstar artists Frank Cho, Mike Deodato Jr., Glenn Fabry, and Johnny Desjardins, and the standard sticker pack. Not to mention you are eligible to receive all the stretch goals our community unlocks throughout this campaign — like the Tula Lotay variant print (unlocked soon at $75,000). To top it all off, we throw in a digital copy of the extended MARJORIE FINNEGAN adventure (and another free comic… scroll down to see more). What we’re trying to say is — you’re getting bang for your buck with the CHEERS WITH GARTH tier.

What pledge manager are you using?
We will use BackerKit as our pledge manager. After the campaign ends and we’re ready to collect final order information, you’ll have the option to add on any additional add-on items you missed out on, and input your most up-to-date shipping address.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
