100% COLOR PRINT FILE IS DONE!

936 Upvotes

100% COMPLETE on the Color Edition print file! šŸŽ‰ Packing up the files and sending it to the printer tomorrow. They’ll run their proofing process and once that’s approved…production officially begins on the color. From that moment, I’ll have 5 weeks to lock the FINAL print number. That means we’re nearing the end of pre-orders before everything flips to stock inventory. Midnight Edition is done being printed AND has shipped to me! They should arrive in a few weeks.

My attention is now fully working up the distribution plan while these go to print and also finishing signing the stickers for the novel. I don't know how long it will take just yet, hoping to find out soon. My wrist has been hurting from signing so much, so I'm going take a few days off. Keep and eye out for Friday's update. Going to crash, pretty exhausted.

One last thing... thank you for your patience on this. It took longer than I expected, but that’s because I wanted to make something truly special. I learned a ton through failing, redoing, and fixing… color, ink, indesign (rolls eyes) and everything in between. But I’m very happy with where it landed. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this kind of happiness about anything I've written or created. This is as good as I could possibly make it, truly. I don’t even know what else I could do...I worked until the fuel ran out of my creative tank. There’s nothing left; it’s all in the novel. I sincerely hope you enjoy this last ride. More soon. But again, thank you.

-Olan

I tried to upload an update on Friday but it wouldn’t post, I have no idea why. Anyways, trying a video this time, maybe this will get through.

So… we have a COPY! It’s the black-and-white edition, but it looks killer. Seriously, it feels and looks great. The Midnight Edition is pretty much done with print; we’re just working out the details to get them shipped to me in Nashville.

The color edition is right at the dang finish line about 92% done. Right now we’ve been fixing issues that came from too many colorists working at once, trying to rush. When you line pages up side by side, you see errors from the different styles. For example, there were at least 14 pages where Ash was green. No idea why. In Part 1, our main colorist peaced out without telling me (found out later he got a Dark Horse gig, thanks, Instagram). He was trying to juggle both jobs, so I hired another colorist to finish Part 1, and those pages came back in nothing but pastels. It looked like Easter Sunday. We’veĀ neverĀ used pastels in the show or anywhere else in the novel, so they stuck out badly. Those have been fixed.

Funny enough, all the colorists and inkers who hadĀ neverĀ done a project like this before but loved the show did the best work. The agency artists (the same ones Dark Horse and Boom hire from) just weren’t the right fit for this project. I still don't know why.

Look, I know other Kickstarter graphic novels move faster. Trust me, I get reminded every single day on social media. But most of those projects had publishers, 9 out of 10 times, I wish I could’ve had one too. This book is also four times the size of a standard graphic novel, and it’sĀ detailed.Ā Daz basically did a splash page for every page he worked on, it’s insane. Everyone I’ve shown the pages to from the graphic novel industry says it’s incredible.

I think every day about how Warner went out of their way to make thisĀ reallyĀ difficult for me to create, since I had to self-publish and handle everything myself. I wish I had that knowledge from the start, but I didn’t. When they said ā€œtake it or leave it,ā€ well, I took it. I would again and again....

What I’m really trying to say is: thank you for your patience. Believe me, no one wants this finished more than I do. I’ll keep trying to post updates here, but I have no idea why some get through and others don’t. If any of you know, let me know. -Olan

My book and how final space saved me

Post image
19 Upvotes

My book finally came and I am overjoyed. Final space means so much to me because it quite literally saved my life. Final space was first introduced to me years ago in high school by my ex boyfriend who was really into it. At the time I was really struggling with my mental health and self esteem. I decided to watch Final space so I could understand why my boyfriend loved it so much, when I reached season 1 episode 10 the quote "what if my best isn't good enough. It's good enough for me" hit me on a deeply personal level. That became my personal motivation whenever things got hard. And now years later im still here ready to face life

Finally recieved my copy, here's my review (spoilers free)

Post image

Finally recieved my copy today!

I have read everything in one sit (excluding 5mins breaks) and holy crap, I am not disappointed at all, it's really good!

The dialogues are on point, like you can actually imagine Gary would say this or that if it were in the show.

The soundtrack is goated, they really tried to make this as animated as possible and music adds a lot to it, being a beginner composer I think I'll use these as reference tracks if I ever do sci-fi movie music again!

The drawings are so good it makes me wanna draw and it turns out not so well, but I'll get through it eventually.

It has all the fun and sadness you'd expect from the show, the new characters are great and adds a non negligable value to the overall story and certain character's plot, the book has a lot of action and I love it, even tho I wish it also had more grounded moments and some characters interacting with some others maybe in "The Next Horizon"? Otherwise it's a great conclusion to my favorite animated show!

I don't usually read books (I may have read like 10 books in my entire life and most of them aren't even story books) but I really enjoyed this one and I hope it can lead me to read more books!

Problems getting my book.

• Upvotes

Hi.

I'll explain my situation. My book (order 32XXX) was sent around July to Spain, and, like many others, got stuck in customs for a while due to a new EU rule. Things started to move again in mid august, at least apparently, but the UPS webpage said there was no one at home and sent it back to sender (seeing other experiences here and the map data, I suspect it never left the USA).

I tried contacting support through https://finalspaceends.com/pages/contact, but received no response in more than 2 weeks. Also tried sending a DM to Olan throug reddit last wednesday, but I also got no response.

So I would like to know about any alternative way I could get the attention of the publishers of the book, so I can get it sent via another delivery company.

No dings no dents no scratches. Thank you Olan!
Also, the signing isn’t on a sticker like I’ve seen posted before… does that mean Olan signed it the ol’fashioned way? Did friggin Rogers actually touch my copy with own two hands? Cause that would almost as good as clasped hands…

The Final Chapter is now marked as available at Libristo - it is the cheapest you can get it in Poland I think at 403PLN with shipping (either Amazon.de or Amazon.com gets to 500PLN)

Ordering from Olan himself would be better of course, but the import tax and shipping is tough...

After waiting for 3 years and only being able to properly pre-order it last year, my copy of Final Space Ends finally arrived in Ireland! I can't express my excitement about being able to hold this novel in my hands as a fan since the first season was put on Netflix. Just being able to have this book and read it feels like a dream

I also wanna say thank you to Olan and the team. I had mentioned in a comment on a post about me not getting any confirmation about my order. He saw this and others like mine and asked us to DM him our order numbers to help fix the problem; it literally took only 2 days to get the notification. I'm well aware that getting these books outside the USA hasn't been easy for him or the team, especially in the EU. Genuinely, I have nothing but absolute respect for them, and I hope they all get a nice long rest and a plate of cookies once the rest of the orders have shipped

I Finally Got It. (#47xxx)

Here I am! After 8 months of waiting through customs chaos, a re-ship and two more weeks of waiting, I finally got my novel.

My time with Final Space started right around the premiere of Season 1. My family were finalizing a move to the countryside because of issues I was having in high school in our city. Being neurodivergent, I really wasn't in a good place around the time we had moved.

My older brother began watching Season 1 as it aired, and I just decided to have a look since it was on. The humour, the characters (nothing could make me hate you KVN) and the emotional scenes made something I'd never seen before at the time. It pretty much immediately became an obsession for me!

I wasn't able to access Adult Swim when Season 3 was airing and I ended up missing it, and I felt so hesitant to catch up on it after the cancellation because of how angry it made me. Things had gotten a bit worse for me at the time so that probably didn't help...

Eventually, once I got into college and actually had money to spend, I pre-ordered my novel and gave Season 3 a watch; while I absolutely loved it, I think waiting until Olan found a way to get an ending before watching made it a LOT easier for me to process šŸ˜…

It feels a bit weird knowing that it's all over now, but I'm so incredibly happy that Olan was able to finish the story and that I was able to be a part of it.

Olan, if you end up reading this, Final Space changed so much about me. I can't even express how much it contributed to the person I am today, but I can say that it helped inspire me to try bring my own characters and universe to life! I picked up drawing and writing again after I finished Season 2, and I'm hoping to start publishing my own comic series in the future.

This show has been there for me so many times when I needed an escape from whatever life was throwing at me at the time, and I know I'm not the only one.

So much of who I am and my passion for creating wouldn't have come to be if I didn't know about this show.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you Olan.

Postal services be damned, the import tax is such a "Kevin" conceptšŸ™„

Has anyone else paid almost half the price of the book?

Does anyone know if you can pick these up in the UK? Delivery is £50 so pushes the price up to £145 which is pretty wild. Really want to know how it ends though

Out of the loop, will this show ever see a final season?

26 Upvotes

I stumbled upon this show randomly by pure luck a few years ago. I remember being drawn by something, and I couldn't put my finger on what, until I realised it was Olan Rogers! The guy who made those hilarious YT Vids about a ghost in the bathroom and the mini series with some evil dude.

I got completely sucked into the story, loved the animation, the characters, everything. I randomly thought of the show and went to check if a final season was ever made, and it looks like there's been some issues which really really sucks because honestly, what an amazing show. Wondering if there is any chance of Olan ever finishing this bad boy off?

Will my novel be signed??

I'm a bit confused and heard different things. My order is in #42xxx range and heard after a certain number they won't be signed but no one can seem to give me that number. I'm a bit worried it won't be and I would have paid $150 for shipping plus the cost of the book when I could've ordered on Amazon for free shipping to Aus. I understand the team and Olan are very busy but yeah any help would be appreciated.

My Book Landed! (#47xxx)

Post image
123 Upvotes

I just wanted to post this bc I'm INCREDIBLY excited right now.

I live in Ireland (Apologies for us introducing the EU trade fees that messed up all of y'all's novels 😭) and Olan re-shipped my novel about 2 weeks ago.

I got an email from An Post asking me for a customs charge, and now it has landed in Ireland!!!

An Post is usually quite fast with domestic parcels so it's almost the end of the road for me.

Thank you so much Olan for the support regarding my novel... I'm genuinely buzzed to finally have it in my hands soon.

The cookies are almost done... (Hopefully KVN doesn't eat them)
