It's great to see so many happy backers enjoying Chrome Roses #1 across America and the world!
In certain countries it may take up to a week longer for your books & rewards to arrive because they were all sent at the same time.
When they arrive, posting about it like Ron did really helps spreads the word. Thank you, Ron!
And don't forget to order book 2 if you haven’t already - we're taking final orders for the print run now with the campaign standing at 300% this morning and just 12 days left!
Whether you’re reading the series in digital or print, there are some great rewards here for you, plus some exciting books you haven’t seen before - like the hardback and the Giant Sized Cyberpunk broadsheet!
It's one of the best reads around, indie or mainstream, and your support is really appreciated in bringing the series to life.
More from me soon
Cheers
Monty

Good news. The platinum book 1's went out to UK customers on Monday, so many people will have them by now! Ace!
And I've signed off everything in Texas and the team there tell me they'll send the book out this week to the USA and the rest of the world. I'll update you again when they've all been sent.
The hot foil mask on the Platinums came out beautifully
Still a few special drawings and original art pages to go out by special delivery too which I'm busy with. Did a couple more at comic con on Saturday.
That all means the book 2 campaign will be going live on Tuesday 12th August! Woo! There'll be lots of first day rewards and special deals for early birds on day 1, so please sign up here to get notified when it kicks off.
It's not just book 2 and 3 of Chrome Roses - so don't miss out on the new stuff!
Final dates for delivery - including book 2 and 3.

Books have arrived at the Texas warehouse!

Good news. UPS confirmed the books have arrived in Texas. The team there will sort them and prepare all the packaging for delivery to US and world customers (outside the UK), along with all the Death Sentence orders. I'll update again when they go out.
Latest update I have from the printer is the Platinum books will be shipped in a week's time. That's the last thing we're waiting for, everything else is done. The foil on the front and back cover meant it took a little longer to perfect.
Also, I sent out the Complete Chrome Roses Book 1 orders to all UK customers last week. Currently, 56% of orders have been fulfilled. The remaining 44% are mostly the non UK print orders mentioned above, plus the Platinum books. There's also a handful of special UK and World deliveries where I need to do something special in the order, like finish a sketch, or add a unique number of extra comics and books with special packaging. I'll be doing those this week.
I really can't wait to have the Platinum book! That's the version I envisioned in my head when I started building this world. It'll take pride of place on my bookshelf, and keep me inspired as I finish book 2.
Obviously, production has been slower than I hoped which I apologise for. But I am speeding up, and with a lot of the worldbuilding and character design done Book 2 is going faster. My main aim now is to get Book 2 and 3 finished ASAP without losing any quality. Hopefully, each book will be better than the one before.
If you've ordered the whole trilogy, you can look forward to these dropping through your letterbox in the coming year. Hopefully, having seen Book 1, you'll agree it's got something special and it's worth perfecting - on top of the money saved by ordering early.
There'll also be some special cyberpunk items on offer in the second campaign just for people who backed early. Prices and items no-one else can get, with my thanks. Many of these will be DAY ONE offers only, so don't forget to follow for a message when the project launches.
This week I secured a top Hellboy comic artist on pin up duties for Book 2. More on that in the Book 2 campaign soon.
If you want to hear me discuss comics, there's a great new 30 min interview here about how to create a new comic, learning to draw, what it's like writing The Hulk and X-men, and drawing inspiration from my surroundings in Vancouver. Monty Nero reflects on creative experiences in Canada
Obviously, I live in Scotland now :) I was made an honorary Canadian for the day thanks to my time living there.
Right, lots to do getting these remaining orders out ASAP.
All the best
Monty
