Hello!
Please post below if you are interested in a "pre-order" copy of the Crimson Flag book! I need to get a sense of how much demand there is in order to figure out how I'm going to do these.
A pre-order copy is a copy I will ship myself, and also I will sign and stamp it with the official Virmir-seal. There is a chance these may be available shortly before the "regular" copies as well.
A "regular" copy would be sold through Indy Planet: https://indyplanet.com/ and would be shipped to you by them.
I intend to publicly announce and promote the regular copies, however I'm thinking I will order a batch to sign and stamp for CF forum members!
Some details (some of which may change):
Page count: 594
Size: 7.5" x 5.25"
Thickness: Phone book
Cost: $40 USD
Domestic shipping (US): $4 (Media mail)
International shipping (outside US): $20-$30, depending on location
Availability: This depends on how the final proof looks once I get it back. I will finish the comic on Nov. 13th, and will order two copies from the printers at that date. These can take anywhere between 2-6 weeks to come back. If they come back and look good, I can order the batch of copies to sell then! If I need to make changes, then it will be another 2-6 weeks. Ideally I would like to have the book ready to go by the time the final comic is posted on February 6th. (I have a 12 week comic buffer to run through during that time.)

(This draft printing from 2019 is about 100 pages lighter than the final copy. Expect it to be thicker!)
