Black & White Editions in the House! Add-ons & Int Shipping Charged and Packages Locked for Shipping!
7 months ago – Wed, Jan 14, 2026 at 10:07:28 AM

Hey SINKers, some cool news for you today.  

BUT FIRST, IF YOU HAVEN'T GONE OVER AND TOSSED SOME SUPPORT TO THE LATEST COMIXTRIBE LAUNCH THAT WENT LIVE YESTERDAY ON KICKSTARTER... COME JOIN THE EPIC FUN!

EPIC is the series from ComixTribe publisher Tyler James, who also oversees these SINK launches and artist Matt Zolman, who did a few variant covers for SINK #11 a while back. Tonally, EPIC could not be more different than SINK... but it has that ComixTribe quality you've come to know and trust, so we hope you'll consider throwing a pledge EPIC's way. 

SINK: BLACK & WHITE EDITIONS HAVE LANDED! 

You may recall we decided to do a micro-print run of the new SINK: HALLOWEEN special in a special size and in black white and Alex's gorgeous grayscale tones for that classic horror look. 

Those books actually arrived yesterday, ahead of the motherload of the regular colored edition. This is a really cool way to experience Alex's art and John's killer story, and we're excited for a few of you to add it to your SINK collection of rarities! 

THE REST OF THE BOOKS EXPECTED NEXT WEEK

We're expecting the motherload of SINK: HALLOWEEN #1 to come in by the end of next week. We'll take a bit of time to inspect, bag and board, and then will promptly start sending books your way. 

Note, we've already locked orders and charged any remaining CC's for international shipping or add-ons, so if you've received a backerkit notice from us in the last week, it was probably related to getting these orders locked and ready for shipping.  

We're down to just 34 Backerkit Surveys outstanding. 

Click here if you need to complete your survey so YOU can get your pledge rewards! 

We're excited to be shipping this book you've been patiently waiting for out very soon, and SINK will return before you know it. 

In the meantime, though, we'd love to see you over at the EPIC campaign:

🤯SUPRISE!🤯 New Highly Limited BLACK & WHITE SPECIAL EDITION OF SINK HALLOWEEN NOW AVAILABLE!
8 months ago – Tue, Dec 16, 2025 at 05:00:27 AM

Hey, friends! We have a treat for you! Based on interest from our fans... and because WE think it will be SUPER FREAKING COOL... we've decided to make a SPECIAL EDITION micro-print run of SINK: HALLOWEEN #1 in BLACK & WHITE! 

SINK: Halloween #1 LIMITED BLACK & WHITE EDITION (Silver Age Size)

RARE LIMITED EDITION COLLECTORS ITEM FOR SINK ART FANS! 

Based on popular reaction, we've decided to do a super limited run of a BLACK & WHITE line art + Alex Cormack grayscale textured edition of SINK: Halloween. 

Alex's art evokes the best of gritty black and white horror classics... and we thought it was only fitting to do a special edition highlighting his mastery of light and darkness. 

And to make this edition extra special, we'll be releasing it at a slightly larger Silver Age size with a matte soft-touch laminate cover. 

SINK: HALLOWEEN SPECIAL B&W EDITION 

- Exclusive, highly limited print run of 100 unit only! 
- Black & White Line-Art, plus Alex Cormack Grayscale Textures 
- Soft-touch matte laminate cover for a premium feel! 
- Bigger Silver Age Size (7 x 10.5 in) to let the art shine!

PREVIEW PAGES

THIS SPECIAL EDITION IS JUST $25... However, for the first 48-Hours, we're dropping the price to $20!

WANT TO ADD ONE?

We want to make this as EASY AS POSSIBLE for our backers to just add one of these books to their existing pledges so that we don't have to charge anything extra for SHIPPING and so we can ship them right alongside the rest of your rewards.

So, the EASIEST thing to do is to simply:

#1. Head to Your Backerkit Pledge Manager.

#2.  CLICK EDIT YOUR ORDER.

#3. CLICK EDIT ADD-ONS

#4. CLICK Add to Cart and then NEXT

#5. Finally, pay the balance with either a CC or Paypal. 

SPECIAL CASES...

There may be a few backers who are unable to edit their order. (T-Shirt Backers Pledges, for Example, were already locked so we could ship.)  If that's you, please just order directly from our PRE-ORDER STORE on BACKERKIT which you can access here.

Click here for the Pre-Order Store! 

PLEDGE OVER TIME BACKERS...

If you'd like to add one of these to your pledge, since you don't have access to your survey yet, simply let us know you want one and we can manually add it to your pledge, and then you'll be able to complete your order when your survey goes out at the end of the month!

THAT'S IT... It's a little messy on the front end, to hopefully be super easy on the backend. 

If you're having any trouble adding the BLACK & WHITE SPECIAL EDITION, just message us and we'll help you! 

Reminder, the price will go up on THURSDAY, 12/18, and this item will be available until we hit 100 copies ordered!  

Treat Bags are Filled! Colors Coming in! And the Next SINK Tale has a Pre-Launch Page!
8 months ago – Fri, Dec 12, 2025 at 08:41:29 AM

Hey, SINKERS.  Hope things are going well for you all! Tyler James, ComixTribe publisher here, and I just wanted to provide you with a little behind the scenes update, as we get ever closer to fulfillment on this project. 

First, I'm thrilled to tell you that all of the TREAT BAGS have come through and have been stuffed with goodies! 

Second, we got word from Alex Cormack that colors on SINK: HALLOWEEN are nearing completion, with all pages flatted. We've also already proofed a black and white copy of the book and prepped all the back matter material and sent lettering fixes to Shawn, so once those final 12 pages or so are completed, digital copies will go out and they'll be sent off to the printer.   

Third, for those of you thrilled to know where the SINK story goes next, we have a special new teaser for you today:

We've just pushed a PRE-LAUNCH PAGE live for the next SINK launch, with details on the story, which may be the bloodiest and will certainly be the raunchiest SINK tale yet, as the scene stealing kinky couple Kieran and Louise (SINK #10: BedBug) return in a two-parter! 

CLICK HERE TO HIT THE NOTIFY ME AND HELP US GET OUR FIRST 50 PRE-LAUNCH FOLLOWERS!  

I've long felt that SINK's greatest strength is making you care deeply about characters... right before putting them through absolute hell. 

SINK: PINEAPPLE may just be the apex of that.  Readers are in for a naughty treat with this one! 

Fourth, just a quick reminder that our Pay Over Time backers will have their final payments charged at the end of this month... and then 48 hours or so after that final charge goes through, your Backerkit Surveys will be unlocked.  

For everyone else, PLEASE get your surveys submitted so that we have everything we need to fulfill your order once the books are printed. 

It looks like there are currently 44 backers who CAN fill out their surveys who have yet to complete them, so if that's you, CLICK HERE AND GET YOUR SURVEY DONE! 

Finally, I want to let longtime SINK readers know that I recently read the scripts for the penultimate issues of SINK. And I can't tell you how much in awe I am of John Lees' ability to bring this series home.  Holy shit... I know many of you rate SINK at the very top of your favorite series lists, and there's always a fear that the ending won't live up to the journey. Well, I've gotta tell you... if anything, what John & Alex have in store for you is BETTER than you're hoping for.  

That said, John has written far ahead, and since the AI robots have not replaced us all (yet), these issues still need to be crafted by humans... so we'll be working on this series for years to come. But I just want to encourage all of our readers to strap in and enjoy the ride because payoff after payoff is coming your way.

Next Update: SINK: HALLOWEEN DIGITAL REWARDS will be included.  Beat that, Santa!

ComixTribe Publisher 

P.S. Shame-less Crosspromo Plug time! The Next ComixTribe launch will be the next issue of EPIC, written by me, drawn by Matt Zolman, with a knock-out cover by new Batman and Robin star artist Fico Ossio! 

What happens when a teenage superhero whose powers don't work when he's turned on confronts his worst nightmare... a sexy supervillain.  Find out in EPIC! : )

Line-Art Wrapped on SINK: Halloween! New Product Rolling In! Get Those Surveys In!
9 months ago – Mon, Dec 01, 2025 at 09:37:15 AM

Hey friends, Tyler James from ComixTribe here! Hope you had a relaxing and rejuvenating Thanksgiving weekend.  Some good news for you today... 

First, we're happy to report that Alex has wrapped inks and textures on SINK: Halloween Special... and this might be his best looking issue yet. 

Honestly, this one looks so good, we're toying with the idea of doing a special BLACK & WHITE ONLY version of the book... Let us know if that's something you might want to see! 

Now, Alex is one of those rare talents who pencils, inks and colors his own stuff... so what's left is coloring the issue and getting it printed. Alex is pretty quick on colors though, so we're still on track for having this baby wrapped in the next few weeks. 

John also dropped TWO new SINK Scripts from Volume 5 into our production folder, so I'm really thrilled dive into those. 

A NOTE FOR PLEDGE OVER TIME BACKERS....

If you were one of the 27 Pledge Over Time backers of this project, note that your 2nd of 3 charges should have gone through on Nov 3.

Note, we're seeing 5 backers out of 27 whose second charges ERRORED, so please double check and get that fixed so that Kickstarter doesn't drop you.  Reach out if you're having any trouble and we'll see what we can do on our end. 

Note, for Pledge over Time Backers, your surveys will become available within 48 hours of your final payment which is scheduled for December 31.  So you'll be able to complete your shipping surveys early Jan 2026. 

EVERYONE ELSE... BE SURE TO GET THOSE SURVEYS IN! 

If you haven't please get those Backerkit Surveys in!

TREAT BAG BACKERS... You're Getting ALL THE STICKERS! 

As a special holiday bonus and thanks to backers selecting some add-ons on Backerkit, we actually went over the $30K stretch goal we came just shy of hitting... so guess what, we're unlocking that last STICKER for all treat bag backers. 

These came out great, and we can't wait to see them in the wild! 

Best,

Tyler and the SINK Team

P.S. More ComixTribe comics are coming your way... 

A brand new, extra-sized issue of the superteen action comedy EPIC, written by Tyler James and drawn by Matt Zolman is launching soon.  This one has literally everything you love about superhero comics... and we can't wait for you to get your hands on it. 

We'd love to have you come over and smash our PRE-LAUNCH PAGE follow button so that we can get this next campaign off to an awesom start!
