The next issue of A Polycule of Mars is coming along nicely, and I cannot wait to share it with you all again! But while we wait, I have some exciting news for comics enthusiasts such as yourself:
Money Shot is getting collected right here on Kickstarter!
That's right! All six volumes of Money Shot are being collected in two great big hard packages all for your viewing pleasure!
If you weren't aware, I've been the series artist on the most recent two arcs, and so you'll be getting a ton of my art in these books. Plus, it's just a damn fun story!
And if that weren't enough, if you follow the project RIGHT NOW you get an exclusive bonus reward when you back the project when it goes live on August 18th!
You won't want to miss out on this one!

Final Orders Going Out!

Today I put the last of the outstanding pledges in the mail.
The sketch cover variants were the last thing I needed to finish up and now they are off to their backers!
There are still a handful of outstanding pledges that I don’t have surveys for, so double check your emails!
But aside from those, I think it is time to call this Kickstarter complete. Thank you all so much for your support and help making this comic a real physical thing. This is no easy task and y’all were instrumental in making it happen.
I now return to the drawing board and begin the work on Part Three, which I can’t wait to share with you! It’s going to be amazing.

Shipping Nearly Complete

It is with immense relief that I can report that almost every single pledge has now been fulfilled!
The only pledges that have not yet been fulfilled are those that pledged for a sketch cover (I'm still drawing those) and the handful of folks that have yet to fill out their survey.
Wait, I didn't get a survey...
If you didn't get a survey, please check your inbox and spam filters, and if you still can't find it, you can recover your survey by going to the survey recovery page.
If you used an AppleID email, you will likely need to contact me to provide a different email, especially if you used any of the privacy settings.
But, I didn't get my downloads...
Please check your email! If you completed your survey, you should have gotten an email with download links for all the .pdfs. You can also access those download links by revisiting your BackerKit survey.
When will there be a Part 3???
I'm hard at work making Part 3 happen. New pages should start dropping at GarthFT.com very soon! Barring acts of God, Congress, and Mastercard, A Polycule of Mars part 3 will return to Kickstarter as soon as I have pages complete. So, make sure you follow me here, or on my website. See you all soon!

I come bearing fantastic news! Rewards have started shipping!
It’s been a ton of work signing and bagging and boarding all those comics…
…but they are now being boxed up and being put into the good hands of the post office.
I’m starting with domestic orders, then international orders, and will wrap up with orders containing custom art.
I will post again once everything has shipped out.
I can’t wait for y’all to have these books in hand. They are so damn nice!

It's Time to Lock the Campaign Surveys
12 months ago
– Sat, Aug 23, 2025 at 11:22:57 AM
It's been a busy, busy summer for me, but we're approaching that point where I'm gearing up to start shipping out all the rewards for the campaign!
Surveys Lock Monday the 25th
For the vast majority of you, who have already filled out your surveys, this will be your last opportunity to make any changes to your pledge. You'll still be able to change your shipping address up until the point we lock shipping addresses, which is a separate step I'll take in the next couple of weeks.
Oops, I Haven't Filled Out My Survey Yet
There's still time! And even if you fill out your BackerKit survey after the 25th, I’ll still receive your information, but your shipment may be delayed.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on my BackerKit project page at https://a-polycule-of-mars-part-2.backerkit.com/.
I Never Got My Survey Invite
Please double check your spam filters as those can sometimes accidentally catch important emails from BackerKit, like the email that has your survey link. If you still can't find it, you can get it resent by visiting https://a-polycule-of-mars-part-2.backerkit.com/.
If you still can't find your survey, please reach out to me and let me know! I really want to make sure you get your rewards!
THANK YOU!
Thank you all again for being so responsive to answering your BackerKit surveys—even though it may not seem like much as an individual backer, you have no idea how tremendously helpful this has been for me when trying to keep track of all 795 of you!
-Garth
