RISK & CHALLENGES
All pages are drawn and inked. Dave started the lettering of the book, Beacon started coloring ROYAL RUMBLE and Scotsman will start coloring the NAT & ZED story soon after the campaign is done. Unlocking upgrades & new content may add some production time but not much, Also the Covid situation is affecting everyone & everything but you can be assure that you will get your book. This is my second campaign, my first one BLOODHUNT was fully fulfilled, so will this one.
