If you'd like to check our the latest New Pain shenanigans, we've got a lot of great original art rewards: pin-ups, cover art, pre-drawn head sketches and other cool stuff like a 16-month calendar and naked pictures of Tom Nguyen (disclaimer: this may not be true).
If you're so inclined, you can click the picture above or hit this link RIGHT HERE!
Thanks so much for your interest and support!
Your best friend,

Micronauts!
It's a hectic morning with the campaign for Daybreak! #1-2 now live but I wanted to take a second to share the other original art reward by Raffaele and myself, Catwoman, which I managed to polish off last night.
Does whatever a cat can!
Also, apologies to Ken N, who pointed out yesterday that I forgot to include his Jakita Wagner sketch in the bunch. Here she is, in the paper and ink!
We hope you guys are happy with your sketches and they should be hitting the mail tomorrow.
And remember, Daybreak! #1-2 is LIVE NOW! As mentioned yesterday, any backers of Microscopic that DIDN'T back the first issue of Daybreak! and join the party now just need to leave a comment saying, "I MATTER!" and you'll receive this 11x17 print of Neil Edwards' variant cover absolutely free.
Thanks for everything, guys and gals. We appreciate all the support!
Your pal,
Keith Champagne
Proof of Life (original art rewards) and Daybreak! #2!

Micronauts!
Wanted to shoot you a quick update about the ORIGINAL ART REWARDS for those of you waiting on those.
Raffaele sent me the final sketch to ink on Thursday of last week. I wasn't able to get it done before a Stranger Things signing event in Arkansas this past weekend but it's on my plate today or tomorrow. But here's what we got so far...
The head sketch rewards
Only missing Catwoman!
Anyway, I would expect all of the reward sketches (AND the Doug Mahnke cover art) to hit the mail around the middle of the week. Thanks for the extra little bit of patience, it's really appreciated.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE...
While I've got your attention, one last quick reminder that the campaign for Daybreak! #2 will have its soft launch tonight between 9:00-9:30 for previous New Pain Backers to have the best chance at grabbing the Early Bird rewards before the rest of the world is notified. You can still sign up HERE to get a notification the second the campaign lurches to life. If you're a Microscopic backer that missed the first issue of Daybreak!, you'll have a chance to grab that issue too AND those same first-time backers Micro backers that cross over will also receive a free 11x17 print of Neil Edwards' DOC MATTER variant cover art. Just leave a comment when you pledge that says, "I MATTER" and the New Pain staff will do the rest.
Thanks! And...

Micronauts!
Wanted to shoot out a quick THANK YOU to those of you that have sent us GLOWING feedback on Microscopic #1; checking the new pain productions email address feels like Christmas morning this week!
If you've yet to receive your package/t-shirt, have no fear! Everything is in the mail. A couple of backers had their orders slightly mixed up and that will be rectified this week too.
If any of you are interested in New Pain's next Kickstarter (and why wouldn't you be?!), the campaign for Daybreak! #2 will be launching on July 12th. I'm really happy with the way the second issue turned out, it's an improvement in every way over the first issue. There will be a soft launch of the campaign the night before. It's a personal goal of mine to have 75 people following the campaign before it launches. If you'd like to join the pre-launch party and be notified the moment when Daybreak! #2 goes live, you can sign up RIGHT HERE. We like to give previous New Pain backers a little window to scoop up the Early Bird rewards before the rest of the world knows the campaign is live.

Thanks for everything you guys have done for New Pain so far. I do all the talking but it means a lot to our entire little crew of misfits.
Your pal,
Keith Champagne

Hey Micronauts,
Wanted to let you all know that all the Microscopic #1 packages were mailed out direct from the printer yesterday! All t-shirts have also been printed and shipped out separately from the comics. If you were one of several that had an extra question on your t-shirt survey that couldn't be answered, don't sweat it. Backerkit fixed it behind the scenes and you're all set.
We're very excited for all of you to receive your packages; and grateful to our print house, Allegra Printing in Tennessee, for their hard work in getting everything printed and out the door to you. Here's a few pics we were sent by the printer...
Artist Editions!
The Tom Nguyen variant!
The 'main' cover by Raffaele Forte!
Horoscopic! The Joe St Pierre team up poster!
And speaking of Joe St Pierre, here's a look at his pencils for the sketch cover he's producing for the Daybreak! #2 campaign...
Joltin' Joe St Pierre getting it done!
Guys, we'd love to hear what you think of Microscopic #1! Let us know when you get your packages and give it a read!
